Two Indian tycoons were reported last night to stand in procession trying to gain control of Liverpool. Mukesh Ambani and Subrata Roy said to be willing to repay the club’s £ 237m debt in exchange for a 51% stake in the club.
Ambani is India’s richest person with a chance predictable at about $ 20 billion. He is chairman of India’s Reliance Industries and owner of Mumbai Indians cricket team. Roy, chairman of Sahara Group, which sponsors the Indian cricket team is also a billionaire.
Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, have been penetrating for new investment for some time, but they are not going to sell more than 50% of the club’s shares.
“There is no truth in the report. We deny them completely,” Reliance spokesperson Sudeep Purkayastha stated.
However refused Subrata Roy’s Sahara Group to deny the same report, which called it as the other party to make a bid for the club. “We are at present not comment,” explained Sahara spokesman Abhijit Sarkar.
Liverpool seeks new investment in the club to decrease the debt brought into the club after an attainment by Hicks and Gillett in 2007.
The negative economic type of weather has also seen the development of a new stadium in Stanley Park balanced by the club’s owners, who are still unpopular in the Liverpool fans.
Christian Purslow, managing director of Liverpool club have deprived of any bid from Ambani and Roy, but the media says that the progress of investigation from both the top shot was begun in November with a series of preliminary meeting have already been made.
