    Liverpool set to be bought out by Chinese government

    Liverpool could effectively come under the control of the Chinese government after it emerged last night that the bid for the club from sports entrepreneur Kenneth Huang has the backing of China Investment Corporation, the sovereign wealth fund to the communist state.

    On a day which also saw Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi step up his interest in the club, Huang publicly confirmed that he is interested in assuming control at Anfield.

    If Huang took over, it would mean that China?s government would have a stake in the Premier League, one of the world?s most high-profile commercial arenas.

    Liverpool would become the second foreign state-owned club in the English top flight, following Manchester City?s takeover by Sheikh Mansour of Abu Dhabi.

    So where do we draw the line it looks like it?s the highest bidder takes all and we are not worried about our national heritage.

      Draw the line on heritage..?? You obviously don't know that Liverpool has the longest and oldest established Chinese community in Europe, it is twinned with Shanghai..

      China is the most powerful country in the world by trade..

      I'm more than happy for LFC to be in Chinese hands...

          Most of Chinas buisness seems corrupt at the moment, but then after the 2 yanks stuffed up our club surely it can't be any worse.

              Personally, I don't this will happen, but time will tell.
              He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

                  I think that is just the tip of the iceberg. They are leasing out toll roads and ports here in the US to whoever forks over enough money.

                      i thought a saudi or dubai group would take over and spend a lot of money, i dont think the chinese would spend in the first instance and liverpool need money to intice players surely hodgson couldnt do it on reputation.

                          It didn't.

                          The uncertainty surrounding the future ownership of Liverpool has continued after Hong Kong businessman Kenny Huang and QSL Sports pulled out of the race to buy the Premier League club.

                          Huang was the first party to openly declare an interest in buying the Merseysiders from American duo Tom Hicks and George Gillett, while Syrian Yahya Kirdi has also been in the running.

                          But on Friday evening Huang, who earlier in the summer refused to comment when it was claimed that his bid was backed by the Chinese government, confirmed that he and his group of investors were no longer interested in a takeover at Anfield.

                          The statement, which presented no reason for Huang's decision to pull out of negotiations, read: "Over the past few months we learned first-hand that Liverpool has a very special place in the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
