Rumours abound that Liverpool have recieved offers from several wealthy businessmen around the world. It appears that one prospective new owner may be a wealthy Arabian figure.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the current President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir (Ruler/ Leader) of Abu Dhabi. He is one of the wealthiest Arab businessmen in the World. He is wealthier than his half-brother, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan who is the owner of Manchester City FC.
Sheikh Khalifa, as he is known, is said to be the third wealthiest royal with his net-worth around $19 billion, he also has major interest in Abu Dhabi and UAE developments.
If he was interested in taking over Liverpool, his wealth could mean the Reds would have more financial power than both Manchester City and Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea.Is this the right man to take over from the ill-fated reign of Hicks and Gillett? He sounds like the answer to Liverpool’s fan’s prayers.

Yes he sure is, but hope its true and not just a rumour we,ve had too many rumours over these past few years since the Yanks bought and broke our sacred club
Well it’s just rumour but if he had long term ambitions for the club then yes. It’s clear that Liverpool need initial investment but after that Liverpool can easily run off of its own revenue. We just need a new world class stadia with increased capacity to kick it all off and a few top quality additions to the squad.
He is going to own liverpool,i travel to the arab states alot and can confirm he is on the verge of taking over liverpool,he is the right man will put alot of money in for players and build the new stadium,he will be unveiled at anfield in the second week of july,he has earmarked the man he wants to take charge and it isnt hodgson,deschamps or rickjard,the man he wants he has just managed a national team in africa and wont be unveiled till the world cup is over,let me tell you he is a big fan of south american football,that is a clue.Liverpool will attract some of the most talented players in the world both with the owner and the managers contacts.i dont support liverpool but from my knowledge very soon they will be untouchable.
Salif:
Would like to believe all of what you said. Fingers crossed I guess.
It would be wonderful to get an owner with this kind of wealth but many Liverpool fans ask only that they get an owner who can put us back on level footing, our income with a new stadium should be enough to challenge. The interest we are paying on these american jokers loan is crippling us and if we could just re-invest that into the squad year on year we could again become a force.
The media will suggest that the LFC supporters want an imediate turnaround but I know that the fans I talk to can be patient, as long as we are seeing things go in the right direction
NAH dumb and dumber just put their price up to a Billion pounds
The more noise and action the fans of liverpool make,like what there main group the s.o.s do then the americans will eventually be forced to sell quick,the rally which they are planning at st.georges hall will be noticed as it has to be policed and that alone will cause headlines within the regions papers.I fully understand the fans wanting the two americans out,you only have to visit fans forums on the american clubs they own,there fans are alike liverpool people they want them out to,make enough noise and an easy option for it to go away is to go away.good luck.
I think I already read this article, the same one just posted earlyer, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
Still i would like it to be true.
Brixxon,If you want your club to move onwards and upwards then there is no better man,he will only purchase the club to flex his pecks in europe,he wont buy liverpool to make money as a buisness,he will play with them like the chelsea owner,english football teams will only stay at the top if owned by very wealthy men,take your neighbours everton,owner is loyal,wont break the bank on wages,transfer funds etc but i guarantee they will never win the league or the euro cup.your club is desperate for a stadium to be able to make the money that it should be making,your club is followed much more in the east than man utd is.dont tar all big money men with the same brush as the americans,this family blow roman out of the water,before you know it very big players will be in liverpool fc and you will have moved on and be very happy.the moores family dipped out because he knew he couldnt help anymore,liverpool cant afford to fall behind anymore so dont turn your nose up at the man who could turn your frown upside down.
?????
Hope this is true ,i can’t wait for this arabian billionaire to take over liverpool,fed up with the americans.
One thing i will say from the research of debt in sport i have been doing,i recently watched a show on the man utd owners and the way he can drain money out of the club,exactly the same can and is happening at liverpool. If the club has to be reduced in price to be able to attract a buyer then the likes of mascherano and torres would be sold and the loss of value of the club compared to the financial gain the americans would make is of no comparison,sorry thing is although the likes of purslow doesnt own the club or manage the team,it will bw him who makes the big decisions and wont really take any grief either.Clever men those americans,ride off on there stallions and leave the fans with the asses.
Too many false hopes too many times the last 2 years – no LFC Fan will believe this rumour until it – is signed, sealed and delivered – Still we can but dream
salif monsir, please confirm its not sven ericsson hes looking to put in charge.
Joe,i may not have come across as maybe i should,when i say a team in africa i meant at the world cup sorry,not that the team is from africa.
salif monsir how do you know so much just by tavelling to arab states, are you sure your not the the richman just useing a different name lol
Its Fabio Capello. . .
Hope its true and would like to hear more from salif monsour who has been writing on here
We’ve been too many times at inches from a great owner,(DIC,Abu Dhabi;Dubai),must be something true behind all this?I really hope,Liverpool could shine as a diamond on his crown.
I am only passing on what i have learnt as i carry out my professional career,my closest friends are big fans of liverpool fc and that is the reason i always look out for them.I have been invited to attend a gathering of fans at liverpool city centre on the 4th of july and am hoping to be there,from what i gather the more the merrier so every supporter must try and get there.A club like yours needs the fans to overthrow such greedy nasty americans,shame the english fa dont help kick these no good owners out.
