Purslow still hopeful of Liverpool buyout

LIVERPOOL managing director Christian Purslow remains hopeful the club can be sold sooner rather than later with a number of interested parties currently looking at the accounts.

Purslow dismissed fears they will go bust should the current ownership issues not be successfully resolved and warned co-owner Tom Hicks he will not be allowed to refinance his debts using the Reds’ assets as security.

Despite the likes of Chinese businessman Kenny Huang and Canadian-based investor Yahya Kirdi failing to come up with offers despite high-profile media campaigns last month, Liverpool’s managing director said there were several other groups interested.
