Liverpool in Lim-bo as new bidder steps in

And in another twist....Sky Sports reports that Singapore businessman Peter Lim is preparing a bid for Liverpool.

The Anfield board have already accepted an offer from New England Sports Ventures, but current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have taken the case to court, arguing that acting chairman Mark Broughton accepted the offer without their permission.

NESV originally outbid Lim, but he is now planning an improved offer. With the prospect of administration looming large, one thing is certain - this is one hell of a huge week at Anfield.

Liverpool deal not guaranteed as Hicks holds on

Just what is going on at Liverpool?

A day after it was announced that Liverpool had accepted a £300 million bid from New England Sports Ventures (NESV), due to be approved this Friday, chairman Mark Brougthon has now said he 'can't promise' the takeover will go through.

The issue lies with current owner Tom Hicks, who opposes the board's decision to accept the bid, arguing that he changed members of the board minutes before they discussed the offer on Tuesday.

All very interesting stuff. It seems as if Liverpool are not out of the woods just yet.
