Liverpool are believed to have given the green light to the investment package from Dubai Holdings in to Liverpool Football Club. A board meeting yesterday was held to study the different options and to decide on one particular investment and begin further discussions.
You may recall a number of interested parties proposals were under discussion - John Miskelly an Irish Construction Tycoon, George Gillette from across the Atlantic and also a group led by the former chairman of Oxford United.
It seems that the reds have decided that the Dubai Investment Capital consortium is their preferred option. It is rumoured that Rick Parry has been in discussion with the group for a period of two years.
The investment group have recently purchased Madame Tussauds group for £800m and the Travelodge chaing for over £600m.
They are said to have recognised the worldwide brand label of Liverpool Football Club and intend to provide, what is believed to be, 'substantial' funds for player investment.
Sameer Al-Ansari, CEO of Dubai Investment Capital
