Hick: universe of buyers for Liverpool

LIVERPOOL co-owner Tom Hicks claims there is a large number of “interested buyers” in the club he and George Gillett put up for sale last month.

Having leveraged huge debt on the club – parent company Kop Holdings’ were £351million in the red last summer with annual loan repayments of £40m – the Americans decided to end their tumultuous reign at Anfield.

Liverpool are up for sale with an asking price of between £600m to £800m.
