Syrian Yahya Kirdi Planning To Takeover liverpool

LIVERPOOL FC were last night tight-lipped amid reports a Syrian footballing unknown is set to launch an astonishing bid to buy the debt-laden club.
Yahya Kirdi, who claims to front a consortium of Arab businessmen, is said to be at the heart of detailed talks aimed at sweeping aside the club’s American owners.
Co-owner George Gillett is understood to have introduced Mr Kirdi, a Unicef representative, to senior Anfield staff and the Royal Bank of Scotland, to which the club owes £300m.
It is the second time Mr Kirdi – a former international – has eyed up a takeover of the club, which analysts value at about £400m.
A source last night confirmed the group’s “serious interest” in investing in Liverpool.

It is also understood it has the backing of one of the United Arab Emirates’ ruling families. Mr Gillett and co-owner Tom Hicks put the club up for sale in May.
