Chinese consortium claim to be in best interests of Liverpool

A key member of the Chinese consortium bidding to buy Liverpool says their offer is in the best interests of the club. Marc Ganis, whose Chicago-based company Sportscorp Ltd, has helped form the investment group, said that any takeover would not enrich American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

Instead, he has implied that a significant amount of cash would be given to construct the long-delayed new stadium which will replace Anfield.

He has also suggested that a large sum would be available to invest in new signings which would make a debt-free Liverpool major challengers in the upcoming campaign.

Ganis said: "We haven't submitted a formal proposal but we submitted the broad parameters of what a proposal would look like to see if it would be welcomed, and it was.

"What is not one of our goals is the enrichment of the existing owners.

"If we submit a proposal and it is accepted, it would be focused on the future and not the past."
