Hicks: No plans to sell Reds stars

Sun, 08 Nov 23:37:07 2009

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has insisted no star players will be sold.

The Reds are in the midst of a woeful run and lie seventh in the Barclays Premier League, nine points off leaders Chelsea, while they are also on the brink of an early exit from the Champions League. Failure to reach the knockout stages would be a severe financial blow but Hicks is adamant the likes of Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard will not be forced to leave Anfield because of cash pressures.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "None of our star players will be sold, regardless of results. The club is doing very well due to rapidly growing commercial revenues."

He added: "We have significant investor interest and want to make sure that we pick high-quality partners.

"We are happy with the way things are going financially but we hoped things would be better on the pitch."

  9. That makes me a lot more worried, cause usually when­ the yanks say something they'll do the opposite.­ It's better if they'd never said anything at­ all.

    The fact is Liverpool will be out of the champions­ league next week and will finish out of the top four­ this season thus not qualifying for the champions­ league next season either. Nonce, Ponce & Ratboy­ (Gerrard, Torres & Mascherano) will be off to­ Madrid and Barcelona for next season as they will not­ want to miss two years of champions league football.­ When this happens, which it will, Liverpool will­ struggle to be mid-table at best for years to come! I­ What a carry on at Anfield!! Yak! yak! yak!

  15. who would of belived one of the top guys in liverscum­ has to come out and say we are not selling players,in­ the mag its my boat,he has just spent 42 million on his­ latest yacht,he is ok in his own bank account but if­ the banks want there money he wil have to sell the­ players,i bet he wont bail them out of his own money.

  16. Nowadays, it is hard to believe such comments as­ ''we are not selling'' and ''we­ are doing fine''. They would try to spread the­ positive news as part of their way out of troubles (who­ would put money in a troublesome business?) until the­ sh'it to hit the fan, and then suddenly they would­ sell these players and give you another excuse of the­ sort ''His heart has not been with us­ anymore''.. I am not saying they will go into­ troubles, but I am saying that their statement is a­ standard PR statement that is used like a placibo.
