Hicks: no Liverpool sale

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has revealed that he has no intentions of selling the club, despite reports that Dubai International Capital were set to make a £500 million offer for the club this month.

Hicks added: "I have not received any offer to purchase the club from the DIC or anyone else, much less accepted any such offer. Nor do I have any intention of doing so.

"Whoever is behind this false report, the facts are that I and my family have always been, and remain, fully committed to co-owning the club; that no-one in my family has ever indicated any intention or desire to sell our stake in the club; and that we expect and intend to be co-owners of the club, and to actively and enthusiastically support the club's manager, players and fans for many years to come."
