Liverpool to Acquire New Ownership?

Filed in archive Premier League on February 9, 2010

Liverpool have become targets of the richest man in India and eighth richest man in the world, Mukesh Ambani. While investment is just what the club needs to turn fortunes around with Man City threatening to continue to knock on the door to the top four if they fail to beat Liverpool to the Champions League next year, the petrochemicals investor has made a point of denying the rumours in the British media.

In other news, West Ham have been told that the players and manager must take a 25% pay-cut next season to survive. Surely, though, when Mido has just arrived there on loan from Middlesborough and has been willing to take a cut in pay from £50,000 a week to just £1,000 a week so he can be a Premiership footballer again, anyone dedicated to the West Ham cause shouldn't complain.

The revelations come at a time when the team are to play Birmingham FC next in the Premier League, after having acquired ex-blues owner David Sullivan in a takeover last month. His co-owner David Gold has insisted that the Hammers are a bigger club than their next opponents, and with longer spells in the top division and cup successes to their name it is hard not to agree. The flames have been fanned, though, in what could potentially be a damaging way, now that Birmingham are one of the richest clubs (in terms of ownership) in the League.
