Hicks can make £25 m for himself right now by selling to Sheikh Mohammed whose offer is still on the table. If he does hang on he will face either. a) Further borrowing (hardly feasible) a) Selling the club for less than the Sheikh's offer b) Selling Liverpool's best players which be the end of Liverpool as it has been down and could put Hicks' life in danger. You know as much about football (sorry soccer) as I do about baseball. NB Liverpool is not just another sports club. That’s all you know.

He won't sell unless his overall situation is dire. With baseball doing better than ever, there's a good chance that he's well-insulated from whatever losses (paper and real) are generated by LFC. The good news is that, if he is made to wait a few more years for the new ground, he might be bored away from the football operations. You Brits must have too much time on your hands. We never get this riled up over the owners, even for Steinbrenner. Hicks will hang on for as long as it takes to get a windfall from a new stadium. He won’t sell unless his overall situation is dire.
