Hicks spreads net wide for new Liverpool investment

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks had no less than ten parties represented at last week's win over Manchester United in talks about buying into the club.

The News of the World says Hicks evidently was not just in England to watch the football.

He held talks with GE Capital in London as Liverpool pursue the finance to start work on their new stadium.

GE's Europe President Charles Alexander is understood to be a Liverpool fan and has shown tentative interest in the Merseyside club in the past.

Hicks also hosted guests in the Directors' box as the club showcased its assets during the 2-0 win over the Champions.

Among those invited were former Kuwaiti foreign minister Mohammed Jassem Al Saqr, who was pictured with Hicks, plus Hicks' Middle East 'expert' Roy Baker, and Kop legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush. Hicks courted interest from Kuwait last season when Nasser Al Kharafi was in talks to buy a stake in the club.
