Liverpool’s managing director Christian Purslow has reassured the club’s fans that there are a number of bids on the table for the Anfield outfit. Purslow did warn though, that a sale would not be rushed because it was essential that Liverpool find the right buyer.
The Reds chief said that he was disappointed that many bidders seemed to prefer to inform newspapers of their interest than the club directly and it was of the utmost importance that the right buyer was found who could then provide stable finance for the long term.
Purslow was speaking to the BBC’s Sports Week programme and stated that now was the "time to sort the wheat from the chaff" and that he could not say that any party was currently "the front runner".
The managing director refused to be drawn on a story in the Sunday Times which suggested that the Royal Bank of Scotland, the club’s principal creditors, were preparing to takeover the Anfield side.
Asked finally when he felt a deal would be completed, Purslow said he "could not put a time limit on it" and while he "would not expect it to be a lifetime" he would "also not expect it to be tomorrow."
