Liverpool FC does have various serious bids on the table for the sale of the club before the RBS October deadline, according to the Sports Review.
A senior source close to Barclays Capital believes there to be some interest in the club, with “as many as five bidders at in-depth stages of due diligence” and a “Hong Kong-based investor leading the race” to take over at Anfield.
The bank, however, appears unwilling to offer any financial support to the potential investors, with the source stating there is “no chance of Barcap becoming involved with the debt financing of any takeover”.
However, Barclays Capital are reported to be becoming increasingly frustrated with the current owners. “Unrealistic valuations are driving us [BarCap] insane,” said the source. The insider also accused the American duo of being “unreachable”.
Most papers had stated that once Kenny Huang had pulled out of a possible deal, there were no other interested parties involved in buying Liverpool FC, however, now according to the Sports Review, there are serious bidders out there. Lets hope it true and that the club will the proper owners at long last.

Yanks out NOW!!!!!
Well said lads lets not rush this important takeover we want the best owners not the 1 who pays the most like the current owners want. An owner who has the best interest in the club and us the fans……atleast where all united when it comes to the owner situation than the managerial situation……YNWA
LFC need a true Liverpool supporter to take over!
Come back STEVE MORGAN !(51% shareholder) LFC ‘FANS'(49%)
Roy’s team are playing exactly the same way as Rafa’s did, two holding midfielders and wingers who cant beat a fullback
an inside source…hhhhmmmmmm…..
Of course there’s still people interested – just not at the price the current owners are looking for. As long as the banks take the club away from them on Oct 6th (or as soon as they can) the sales process is likely to be in a better climate for buyers. Presumably Broughton, Purslow and Ayres will still make the decision of which is the best offer for LFC, not necessarily just the guy offering the most money up front.
Yes, looking forward to RBS takeover!!!!
The yanks have fooled LFC.
I think this is rubbish. The price of the club is not governed by the yanks, there are 5 board members, so the yanks can always be out-voted, like when they tried to use the clubs assets to refinance the loan. So all this talk about the yanks wanting $1B for the club is press rubbish, as the three other board members can force through a sale at any price.
^ Lee, this story didn’t really talk about the football side of stuff mte, that comment doesnt make sense.
bit of a dubious article anyway, ‘an inside source’ is a pretty easy way of saying ‘ok we don’t have any actualy facts, just a bit of hearsay, so rather than implicate someone with this bullshit, we’ll say inside source, that way there’s no comeback..’
f*** off yanks
