Liverpool not for sale

Liverpool - Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, whose relationship with the Anfield fans has become increasingly fraught, have denied reports they are planning to sell the club.
Potential investors Dubai International Capital, who tried and failed to buy the club last year, were reported to have been planning a bid for the 50% stake owned by Hicks.
The Liverpool Echo claimed that senior executives at the Dubai-based international investment company were given the go-ahead by Sheikh Mohammed al-Maktoum to launch a second bid to buy into Liverpool in a year and that an offer has been agreed in principle.
But a spokesperson for the two Americans said there was nothing in the reports.
"Any suggestion Hicks and Gillett are contemplating a sale of the club or any portion of it is categorically untrue," a spokesperson told the BBC.
