There are contradictory reports in the British press this morning with regard to the future of one of Liverpool's American co-owners, George Gillett.
According to The Daily Mail, the 70-year-old businessman is looking to sell his 50 per cent stake in the Reds and has already started looking for potential buyers.
Gillett has already taken the decision to sell his stake in NHL (National Hockey League) team the Montreal Canadiens, a process that president of that franchise, Pierre Boivin, has confirmed to have started. This has sparked speculation that Gillett may be looking to cash in on his shares in Liverpool.
Conversely, The Sun claims that Gillett's decision to offload his interest in the ice hockey team means he is ready to further invest in Liverpool.
It is alleged that his decision to sell his 80.1 per cent stake in the Montreal Canadiens could raise as much as £185 million, which would then be used to refinance the loan the Reds' American owners used to buy the Merseyside outfit.
It is also suggested that Liverpool's brilliant results recently have contributed to Gillett's decision to stay at the club, along with the prospect of raising huge funds should a new stadium be built.
