Dubai International Capital have moved to quell
speculation they are still interested in buying Liverpool or
considering a move to buy-out Newcastle’s troubled owner Mike
Ashley.
DIC released a statement claiming they have ended their interest
in acquiring Liverpool and are not looking to invest in any other
football club.
The statement also seems to preclude Dubai ruler Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum from pursuing a bid for The
Reds as a private venture.
The DIC statement reads: "Following inaccurate speculation
regarding DIC and Liverpool FC, DIC can confirm that it is not
involved in any negotiations to buy LFC and can confirm that it is
not planning a fresh bid for LFC or any other football club.
"Nor is DIC or any other Dubai-based party aware of any
consortium or vehicle involved in a bid.
"DIC has not mandated PCP to act for DIC or to act for them in
any matter
whatsoever. DIC would like to wish LFC and its fans a successful
future."
