Speaking on BBC Radio, club managing director Christian Purslow stressed that the club would not be rushed into making a decision: "We have had a number of bids (and) will take time to examine those extremely carefully."
Purslow was reacting to a newspaper story which suggested that the failure to find a buyer could result in Royal Bank of Scotland, a creditor, taking control of the club. However RBS has said in a statement that it continued to have confidence in the sale process and that it was not poised to take control of the club.
Most of the noise concerning prospective bidders has focused on Chinese entrepreneur Kenny Huang and Syrian-Canadian businessman Yahya Kirdi. However there are believed to be six serious parties looking at buying the famous Merseyside club for around £400 million.
