Liverpool's American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr., are having problems selling the club that they bought in 2007, according to The Times. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, who has been trying to purchase the club for the last two years, has withdrawn his offer and dropped his interest in obtaining the club from the Americans. Amanda Staveley, who has been negotiating on Sheikh Mohammed’s behalf since the beginning of this year, has informed the club's current owners that the current world economic climate and their own refusal to lower their £600 million evaluation of the club means that the Sheikh is no longer interested. |

Cant the banks just force a sale knowing full well that they could potentially offer it to the sheikh for a reasonable price? |

There is rumoured to be one other Middle-Eastern party who is interested in buying the club, but desperation to find a buyer is growing as a £350 million loan agreement with Bank of Scotland and Wachovia expires on January 25. Hicks and Gillett are hopeful that an extension to this will be granted. |

erm no because Hicks and Gillete are supposedly struggling to make repayments on the loan, especially in the current climate. Theres a date set at which point some of the monies owed need to be repaid, bit like not making your mortgage payments i guess. again most of the info appears to be speculation so theres nothing concrete per say to give opinion on. |

liverpool owners borrowed the money from the bank and they cant afford to pay it back. they must make a huge payment in jan which they said they would be able to do. they however, cant. therefore, the royal bank of scotland who lent the money will own liverpool and sell them to get back their money. |

Didnt they pay just over £200m. Asking to treble their money in less than 2 yrs seems an awful lot to expect. |
