Reports from the Times, the BBC and Sky suggest that a Chinese billionaire is in negotiations with RBS to buyout Liverpool FC from hated owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Kenny Huang, who has very wealthy backers from the Far East, has bypassed Broughton and Purslow and is negotiating directly with Liverpool’s debtors RBS in a bid to take total control of LFC. It is rumored that a £325 million buyout of the club is all it will take for the Chinese to own Liverpool outright. This approach by Huang ensures that RBS are repaid the loan that Hicks and Gillett took out to buy the club three years ago.
Huang is reported to want to push the Liverpool deal through to make use of the transfer window, which closes at the end of August, in order to give substantial funds to manager Roy Hodgson for the new season It is also believed that Huang and his associates plan to start building work on the much-awaited, new stadium as soon as possible. Sounds too good to be true, but by all reports, it may be about to happen, as long as we get rid of Hicks and Gillett on the cheap, then I am happy. Click here to read more about Kenny Huang.

These guys have no money, they struggled to raise 50mil to buy a small share in an American sports franchise.
not too sure about this guy, seems to be involved alot with american sports which doesnt sound too good
Bill
These guys bought a small pice in a basketball franchise and promoted there tallest player in china! and made millions by selling merchandise with the name of the player on! and the guys who are behind Huang have assets for more than 1.9 trillion british pounds, no money?! trillion not billion!
These blokes have more money are equipped to pay the debt and will do so thats a positive.
The other being apart from the sale the yanks still managed to take 100 mill plus out in loans on the club to prop up their other businesses.
If they are to give the manager at least 30 mill to spend plus sales i will be pleased.
The main positive is they will get their state of the art stadium.
Anyone can claim to have a billion pounds money, just like the Huang guy and his anonymous friends. They need to be investigated first and asked to SHOW US THE MONEY first b4 even looking at Anfield. Liverpool learnt the hard way and should be wiser now.
clearing the debt put’s us in a better state if he isn’t lending to pay for it never trust a fella who can be blindfolded with dental floss he looks like the fella from birmingham
He has got to be better than the yanks and will get things done and yes he has plenty.
domehow i trust the guy if he’s gonna pay the debt then i think he’ll make money from the profit. bottomline,let’s sack the cowboys.YNWA!!!
if he clears the debt, gives roy a few pound to spend and just gets rid of dumb & dumber then FANTASTIC!
