LIVERPOOL co-owner George Gillett today admitted his partnership with Tom Hicks has completely broken down and was beyond repair.
And he told of the death threats he and his family had been receiving from fans amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Anfield.
Gillett revealed he had also recently offered Hicks the chance to buy out his half share in the Reds but that he had run out of time.
He also declared that Hicks had tried to veto him selling to Dubai International Capital - whom he said would make ‘very responsible owners’ of the trouble-torn club.
The Dubai company has already had a recent £400m bid for Anfield turned down by Hicks, who insists he is not interested in selling his stake.
Gillett spoke at length for the first time of the crisis at Anfield in an interview with radio station Fan590 in Canada, where he admitted he may now pursue an interest in establishing a soccer club in Montreal which would play in America’s MLS.
The owner of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team did not reveal what he planned to do with his half share of Liverpool now, but said there were ‘pieces on the chess board moving’.
