A big rumour going about now (coming from American sources) that Gillett is buying it in a 50-50 deal with Tom Hicks who owns the Texas Rangers Baseball team and Dallas Stars Hockey team.
Gillett is worth about $1bn, and Hicks is worth over that but cant find an exact figure!

Told ya 
I havent heard anything yet though so it certainly hasnt gone through, although Id expect a letter in the next few days suggesting we sell our shares....they can fuck off until Ive bought my Barca tickets on the 8th though!!
Hicks is also good mates with George W Bush...so if you piss us off we'll bomb you.

You need that share to get tickets? What happens when you give them up?

shareholders get first choice on tickets, hence why we bought some up after Istanbul. Not sure what is going to happen, but Id expect there to be some offer on the table for existing holders. If not were buying some of the 'entertaining' seats for a few years, so you get tickets to every home game, food, etc. all in the price.

Looks like it is going through today.
Still unsure about where the funding is coming from and if it will be a similar deal to Utds. They are funding the ground which should be finished by August 2009. Amounts like £100-150m have been mentioned about a transfer fund but not sure if this will be true, aslong as we can compete with Utd and Chelsea for the best players I'll be happy.
The good thing about these guys buying us is that they know how to own/run sports franchises as own enough between them! I expect they'll promote us properly over in the US and other countries to increase our turnover as wont just be a play thing like Chelsea but run like a proper business and to cover our own costs!

I am really hoping we arent funded like Utd are with loans. I think this was Gillett's plan when he was buying us on his own before Xmas as is worth about the same as Glazer, but going 50-50 with Hicks who is worth billions and billions I expect it wont be this way.

Liverpool FC today announced that the Board have agreed the terms of an offer for the Club from Mr George Gillett and Mr Tom Hicks. The Board are unanimously recommending that the Club’s shareholders accept this offer.
Full details of the offer were announced earlier today to the Stock Exchange.
Commenting on the offer, David Moores, Chairman of Liverpool said:
“I believe this is a great step forward for Liverpool, its shareholders and its fans. This Club is my passion and forms a huge part of my life. After much careful consideration, I have agreed to sell my shares to assist in securing the investment needed for the new stadium and for the playing squad. I urge all my fellow shareholders to do the same and to support the offer. By doing so, I believe you will be backing the successful future of Liverpool Football Club.
"I am also delighted to accept the offer from the Hicks and Gillett families to continue my involvement in the Club by becoming Honorary Life President.”
Rick Parry, Chief Executive of Liverpool, commented: “This is great for Liverpool, our supporters and the shareholders – it is the beginning of a new era for the Club.
“The partnership created by George and Tom is very special. They are bringing to the table tremendous and relevant experience, a passion for sport, real resources and a strong commitment to the traditions of Liverpool. Their approach represents exactly the sort of genuine partnership that Liverpool has been seeking over recent times.
“We know that George and Tom want a long-term relationship with Liverpool and that they also understand the importance of investing in our success both on and off the field. They have made clear their intention to move as quickly as practicable on the financing and construction of our proposed new stadium at Stanley Park and also to support investment in the playing squad.
“This has been an important time for the Club. We now have the right partners for the future. I am absolutely certain we have now ended up in the right place, with owners who will help the Club succeed and prosper.”
Commenting on the offer, George Gillett and Tom Hicks said: “Liverpool is a fantastic club with a remarkable history and a passionate fanbase. We fully acknowledge and appreciate the unique heritage and rich history of Liverpool and intend to respect this heritage in the future. The Hicks family and the Gillett family are extremely excited about continuing the Club’s legacy and tradition.
“We are particularly pleased that David Moores and Rick Parry will have a continuing involvement in the Club. For us continuity and stability are keys to the future.”
