The Al-Kharafi family remain locked in takeover talks with
Liverpool.
The Daily Mail says Kuwaiti representatives saw
Liverpool beat 10-man Chelsea at Anfield and they are continuing
negotiations with warring owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett,
having conducted their due diligence studies of the club’s troubled
finances over the past few weeks.
Hicks’ main allies at Liverpool, commercial director Ian Ayre
and finance boss Phil Nash, have been in Kuwait making
presentations to the Al-Kharafis, whose patriarch Nasser has
delegated nephew Rafed, a Liverpool fan, to be chief
negotiator.
It is understood the Al-Kharafi family want the majority stake,
with Gillett being bought out and Hicks keeping a reduced
percentage.
