A major change in approach by hated Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett has taken place.
\nThe duo are willing to sell 50% of the club to interested parties.
\nPreviously, the Yanks wanted only to sell 25% of the club for \u00a3100 million.
\nHowever, despite extensive hawking of the club in the Middle East, they have not found an investor willing to invest in Liverpool Football Club on those terms.
\nWith the club \u00a3240 million in debt, due entirely to the hated Americans, they have had to take drastic action.
\nNow Hicks and Gillett are willing to sell half of the club in order to gain new investment.
\nIt is believed this will bring DIC back into the reckoning as they could buy a major stake in Liverpool FC.
\nWork needs to begin on the new stadium soon, Liverpool City Council is pressing the club to begin work on the new ground so new investment is needed quickly.
\nLets hope that this is the beginning of the end of the Hicks & Gillett regime, for once and for all and we finally get in proper owners who are fit to run the club the way it should be run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
