Hicks: 'Big universe' of buyers interested in 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 £351m in the red last summer with annual loan repayments of £40m - the Americans decided to end their tumultuous reign at Anfield.
