CONFUSION continues to reign in the quest of Liverpool co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks to attract new investment.
Gillett has now dismissed claims Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah is close to buying a significant stake at Anfield.
The American has been in Riyadh this week, a visit he has stated is only to discuss the agreement with Prince Faisal’s F6 investment company to set up a number of academies in the Middle East.
“We – and the Prince supports this – categorically deny we had any conversation along those lines,” said Gillett. “The purpose of my trip is to talk about Liverpool football academies and stock car racing.
“We may discuss (buying into Liverpool) at some point in the future. But I say again that is not on our agenda. There have been no discussions.”
