But Liverpool FC isn't Hicks' only business and he funds them all in the same way i.e bank loans so all of his business are affected by the credit crunch. Theres also the plunging value of the dollar which is already having an effect on his wealth.

He can try and wait and hope the financial situation improves but thats a huge gamble to take when he has profit on the table now, the longer he waits the worse the US economy gets and the less and less negotiating power he has.
