Gillett rubbishes takeover reports

Liverpool co-owner George Gillett has played down speculation that a buy-out of the Barclays Premier League club is imminent.

Widespread reports suggested Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Saud’s F6 investment vehicle had been given the go-ahead to carry out exclusive due diligence with a view to buying into the club after he attended Liverpool’s 6-1 win over Hull at Anfield on Saturday.
