Tom Hicks and George Gillett 300
LIVERPOOL FC’s American co-owners may have just 17 days left in control at Anfield.
The deadline for repaying their £237m debt, the majority of which is held by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), expires next month.
October 6 has long been the deadline day in many fans’ diaries for Tom Hicks and George Gillett to repay their debts. But the Daily Post understands that Friday, October 15, is the earliest date the Americans’ debt will be called in by chief creditor, RBS.
And even that provisional deadline is likely to slip a further seven days as the bank seeks to facilitate an orderly transition of power at the club.
It is understood that the bank would rather that the club is sold to a new owner by October 15.
