The Chairman of the Board Martin Broughton, in an interview with "Sky Sports," provided more details about the club's sale announced on Wednesday, which is expected to take about a week.
In the midst of a crisis, the 'Reds' will be saved by the United States company "New England Sports Ventures" (NESV), which owns the baseball club Boston "Red Sox" and is willing to pay £300 million for the English team.
This amount is significantly lower than what the current owners, also Americans Tom Hicks and George Gillett, would like. They tried at the last minute to remove Broughton from his position and stop the deal, now threatening legal action if their plan fails.
However, Broughton is confident that the Americans, in their last-ditch attempt to interfere with the sale, will not be able to prevent the deal from happening: "They had their last chance to leave with their heads held high. Unfortunately, a different path was chosen.
"When I took on this role, I received a written obligation from the owners to personally oversee the board's composition - only I can change it, and Hicks and Gillett cannot interfere with the sale."
Broughton promised that the squad, currently sitting in 18th place in the English championship, will be strengthened with the opening of the transfer window in January: "The new owners want to be judged by their actions, not their words.
"Boston 'Red Sox' is a great example - by taking over this historic, very successful club in not the best years, the owners brought back its glory.
Americans only think about victory. They invested a lot of money in players in the 'Red Sox' team, so they are ready to do the same in Liverpool."
