Earlier this week, The Guardian claimed that the investment group controlled by Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum rekindled their interest in the Anfield giants with a massive £500million takeover bid, but the American billionaire has branded the report a "complete fabrication"."I have not received any offer to purchase the club from the DIC or anyone else, much less accepted any such offer. Nor do I have any intention of doing so," Hicks insisted.
"Whoever is behind this false report, the facts are that I and my family have always been, and remain, fully committed to co-owning the club; that no-one in my family has ever indicated any intention or desire to sell our stake in the club; and that we expect and intend to be co-owners of the club, and to actively and enthusiastically support the club's manager, players and fans for many years to come."
Hicks' latest statement, released through financial and corporate communications consultancy FD, reinforces one made by him and his partner George Gillett earlier this week stressing that they were not looking to part with the club they invested into less than a year ago.
