Liverpool's Ownership Circus Continues

The rumor mills are certainly churning in England. Conflicting reports have been surfacing in the media today in regards to the talks that George Gillett and Tom Hicks are holding with the Dubai International Capital (DIC) group.

It has been reported that the current Liverpool owners are ready to sell the club. The article suggests that the relationship between George Gillett and Tom Hicks is fractured and that the former may be ready to sell his share of the club.

However, reports from both the BBC and ESPN state that Tom Hicks is vehemently dedicated to Liverpool and has no plans on selling his stake in the club. Hicks is showing impressive conviction, especially in the light of the news that his son Tom Hicks Jr. was confronted and chased out of famed Liverpool watering hole the Sandon Pub last week.

It is still unclear what type of relationship Hicks and the DIC group would share if George Gillett sells his stake in the club, and Hicks remains in Liverpool for the relative long haul (more than 1 year).
