In a statement to the press, the US businessman strenuously denied claims that he plans to sell his 50 per cent holding, saying: "Reports in the UK media that I am about to sell my stake in the Liverpool Football Club, or to invite DIC to examine the Club's books in preparation for such a sale are absolutely and categorically false. The reality is that I am personally, professionally and financially committed to the Club and its supporters and that I will continue to honour that commitment to the best of my ability now and in the future."
BBC Sport, however, reported that the American is believed to have held talks with Dubai International Capital, although the company is not thought to have had access to the club's accounts. It is also believed that DIC may try to buy out George Gillett's 50 per cent stake.
