Pepe Reina calls for Liverpool FC co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett to sell club quickly
PEPE REINA has urged Tom Hicks and George Gillett to pursue a swift sale of the club to help improve Liverpool's prospects of staging a recovery next season.[LNB]The Reds' parlous financial state was illustrated in last week's publication of the accounts for Kop Football (Holdings) and the club's increasing debt - coupled with a lack of Champions League football - will make it hard for Liverpool to compete for top signings this summer.[LNB]Clearly, though, Liverpool are desperate for reinforcements and Reina believes it is vital that quick, decisive action is taken to enable everyone to regroup to leave the traumas of the campaign that ended with a lifeless 0-0 draw at Hull City behind.[LNB]If that is not the case, there is a genuine fear that irreparable damage will be suffered and, listening to Reina speak, it is clear the worries supporters harbour for Liverpool are also shared within the dressing room.[LNB]With that in mind, then, Reina is hoping that new chairman Martin Broughton's declaration that he will find 'the right owners' to buy out Hicks and Gillett comes true sooner rather than later, so the Reds' efforts to reclaim their Champions League status is not hindered.[LNB]'A quick sale would be simple as it would mean we could start planning for next season earlier,' said Reina. 'All that I would ask is that if it is going to happen, then it happens as soon as possible to help the club itself.[LNB]'Of course we worry. It (the drama around the club) is a little bit of a concern and we need to sort out these kind of things, like the sale of the club and the issues with the owners.
