How Much For Liverpool FC?

A Kuwaiti consortium have announced that their negotiations to but Liverpool FC are not going well, because George Gillette and Tom Hicks want £500m. The club currently has approx £300m of debts that will need to be re-financed in July.

With £500m needed to buy the club and £300m in debts, Liverpools co-owners value the club at a high £800m. This is almost certainly an unattainable sum so there will be tense negotiations ahead.

Rafa "Now, We Must Beat United To Win League"

The first hint that Liverpool feel their title chances are slipping away has surprisingly come from manager Rafa Benitez. The Manager has said that he feels Liverpool now need to win the tie at Old Trafford on March 14th to be in with a change of winning the league now.

Benitez is again the talk of Liverpool as he has still not agreed a new contract despite a reputed £4m salary being on offer, and greater control on transfer policy and youth development. It is said that Benitez has now rejected Liverpool's offer for a 5th time. Benitez is thought to have concerns about the speed of availability of transfer funds from waring American partners Tom Hicks and George Gillette Jr.

If Manchester United do win the Premier League this season they will equal Liverpool's record of 18 top flight trophies. The league has always been the most sought trophy by Liverpool fans and many are vocally upset that the club has gone so long without winning.
