Kenny Huang has cast doubt on his consortium's bid for
Liverpool.
Huang believes his consortium have a 50 per cent chance of
taking over at Liverpool.
The ownership battle for Liverpool has been going on for several weeks with
the club inviting offers for Tom Hicks and George Gillett's
stake.
Huang has broken his silence on his interest in
Liverpool, claiming the Anfield
board had accepted his group's proposals, but that they faced
competition from other consortiums to gain control on
Merseyside.
"I am 50 per cent confident we will acquire the club," Huang
told Chinese website Sohu Sports.
"Our interest in buying LFC has been recognised by the board,"
he said.
"At the same time, we have continued our work - researching and
evaluating, the overall progress is good. However, there are quite
a number of strong competitors. So there are still a lot of
unknowns.
"We have put forward many proposals and we have the answer: the
board has accepted our proposal and wish us to continue the
process. We have a reply in less than 10 days. There is still some
way to go. It was that we asked the board to let us know whether
our proposal would be overall acceptable and the board has said
yes."
Huang added: "There are rivals from North America and the Middle
East. Each bidder wants to consider themselves at an advantage, so
it is difficult to say we are far ahead.
"We will continue to work with the board and the banks of
Liverpool, as well as other
aspects. Our adversaries are stronger and we lack experience, so we
need to do further research."
