da stake casino: Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has made another plea to current co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks to sell the club as soon as possible.
da heads bet: The Americans put the club up for sale in April and, although Barclays Capital were appointed to oversee the process, a buyer has yet to be found.
Kenny Huang abandoned his interest in a takeover last month and uncertainty surrounds a consortium fronted by Yahya Kirdi.
Spain international Torres wants a rapid resolution and fears the ongoing uncertainty will have a detrimental impact on matters on the pitch.
“It is fundamental new owners arrive that can make us a competitive side,” he told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.“We’re not that far behind. We had an appalling season last time around, but the year before we were just four points from Manchester United.
“Hopefully we can find a consortium that buys the club and can make Liverpool able to fight financially with Chelsea and United.
“Then let’s see what we’re capable of doing this season. Liverpool kept Steven Gerrard which is fundamental. It’s still a great team.
“It’s a delicate situation because we are not in the Champions League, but it is still the biggest club in England and to play at Anfield every week is a privilege.
“That’s how I see it. I like to have targets, and to be able to help bring Liverpool back where they deserve is a beautiful target.
“It is always complicated when you start with a new manager and new players, but we’ll see what we are capable of.”
