The Liverpool Saga Continues

The long drawn out takeover saga at Liverpool continues without an immediate end in sight.   At one time this month it looked as if it might be resolved, but these hopes were soon dashed.   The loans on the club have to be renewed on 6th October and there are increasing indications that the state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is losing patience with the failure to make progress.   They may simply step in, boot the unpopular American owners off the board and sell the club themselves.


At one time it looked as if Hong Kong-based Kenny Huang was the front runner to take over the club.   He offered the prospect of developing its fan base in the growing Asian market and above all in China.   However, there was always a lack of clarity about where his backing came from, as he did not seem to have sufficient funds to close the deal himself.
