Tom Hicks says he is prepared to block any attempt by co-owner George Gillett to offload his stake in Liverpool.
Reports suggest Gillett may be ready to sell his shares in the club.

But Hicks told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper: "Not only am I not going to sell, my partner cannot sell without my approval.

"So I kind of have the ability to determine the outcome of what is going to happen, and I am right in the middle of that."

He added: "For a lot of reasons I can't discuss, I haven't been able to fix it yet. But I am preparing to be in a position to fix it."


American pair Hicks and Gillett beat off competition from DIC to take over Liverpool in February 2007 and own 50% each.

But since then, they have become increasingly unpopular among Reds fans, drawing criticism for their treatment of manager Rafael Benitez and their financial management of the club.

Dubai International Capital has recently revived its interest in the club but to take control, it must buy all of one man's shares along with at least some of the other's.

well, when it concerns money people will change their minds at the blink of an eye and so i would not give hick's statement too much weight. if DIC can make a tempting enough offer, i am sure hicks won't think twice about selling - especially if liverpool fail to do anything of note this season - which is very likely

I'm sure your right about Hicks being tempted by a offer from DIC its a matter of how much he really wants.
Can not see Liverpool winning the Champions League or even being capable enough to hold on to 4th place in the Premiership, not the way they are playing and the fact that confidence is draining out of the Squad week by week.

right, things are not looking too good for liverpool which under normal circumstances could have been overlooked especially as they recently did win european honors as well as the fa cup. a season like this should not be too disheartening though not making fourth spot will be nothing short of a nightmare for everyone associated with this great club.
