Hicks on brink as Dubai group offer Kop out

LIVERPOOL co-owner Tom Hicks could be on the brink of being offered a way out of the troubled club.

A year ago this month Dubai International Capital were stunned by the last-minute failure of their bid to take control of the club but it is believed they are now set to try to buy the American’s 50% stake in Anfield.

And DIC made no attempt to play down speculation on Thursday when a spokesman said: “We do not comment on such things, we have nothing to say.”
