Liverpool's co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are in no rush to sell up.
The News of the World says despite announcing the club was up for sale in April, and the recent flurry of Chinese and Syrian takeover interest, the Americans have been plotting to STAY in charge.
But their plans were blocked after a legal challenge from their own board.
The pair have been trying to refinance their massive debts.
During the summer, they asked Barclays Capital and FBR Capital Bank to approach several investment banks to renegotiate £290million of debt.
If successful, this would have freed the co-owners of their arrangement with the Royal Bank of Scotland and Wells Fargo which ends in October.
And most worryingly for fans, it would buy the Americans time to seek a higher price for the club at a later date.
