could be right there

exactly.

we've had three "bids" before. We've read news reports of "official bid for Liverpool football club" a couple of times this year.

reports are currently saying:

"A source close to the negotiations said: "Both would significantly reduce the debt and give the current owners their original investment back"

so reduce the debt - not wipe it.

"But it is thought Hicks and Gillett are against accepting either of the bids as neither would see the American duo walk away with a profit."

too many false dawns

Liverpool's board met on Tuesday after it received two new bids to buy the club, BBC Sport understands.

It is thought one of the bids is from Asia, with the other from America.

A source close to the negotiations said: "Both would significantly reduce the debt and give the current owners their original investment back."

But the club's co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are understood to be opposing the sale of the Reds to either of the two parties.

Three independent members of the board - managing director Christian Purslow, chairman Martin Broughton and commercial director Ian Ayre - will favour a sale and are weighing up whether to accept one of the bids.

But it is thought Hicks and Gillett are against accepting either of the bids as neither would see the American duo walk away with a profit.

Reports say Boston Red Sox owner John Henry is one of the interested parties, but a spokeswoman for his New England Sports Ventures rejected any knowledge of a bid.

Liverpool were put up for sale by Hicks and Gillett in April with debts of £351.4m.

The pair paid £174.1m to buy the club in 2007, while also agreeing to take on the club's debt of £44.8m.

It was said to be a new dawn for the Anfield outfit, with outgoing chairman David Moores describing it as "a great step forward for its shareholders and its fans".

But little has gone right for either the club or its owners since then.

In August there were abortive bids from Hong Kong businessman Kenny Huang and a consortium fronted by Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi.

Earlier on Tuesday, Kirdi was quoted as saying the group he represents were dropping out of contention, saying: "Once everyone is united and there's logic in the price and the overall deal, me and my group will be prepared to return to the table."

Many of the club's fans have become increasingly outraged at the pair's mismanagement of the club, which is said to be currently £237.4m in debt.

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has set a deadline of 15 October for that money to be repaid or a penalty fee of £60m will be due.

If not the bank has the option of extending the deadline once again, or deciding enough is enough and either selling the club to the highest bidder or putting it in administration.

Many fans of the Merseyside club are keen to see RBS call in the debt, even if it means them going into administration and receiving a nine-point penalty from the Premier League as a result.

Whether these bids signal the beginning of the end of a saga that has blighted the club in recent years remains to be seen.

In March 2006, Boston Magazine estimated his net worth at $860 million, but noted that his company had recently experienced difficulties. In May 2007, reports in the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg noted further difficulties with the firm.

Liverpool Football Club tonight issued the following press statement:

The Board of Directors have received two excellent financial offers to buy the Club that would repay all its long-term debt. A Board meeting was called today to review these bids and approve a sale. Shortly prior to the meeting, the owners - Tom Hicks and George Gillett - sought to remove Managing Director Christian Purslow and Commercial Director Ian Ayre from the Board, seeking to replace them with Mack Hicks and Lori Kay McCutheon.

This matter is now subject to legal review and a further announcement will be made in due course.

Meanwhile Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre continue to explore every possible route to achieving a sale of the Club at the earliest opportunity.
