Hicks this week insisted he had no intention of parting with his own 50% stake at Anfield, despite renewed interest from Dubai International Capital.

DIC are now considering making a bid for Gillett's stake but Hicks told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Not only am I not going to sell, my partner cannot sell without my approval."

He added: "So, I kind of have the ability to determine the outcome of what is going to happen, and I am right in the middle of that."

DIC are only interested in buying Gillett's shares if they can gain control of Liverpool, which would involve Hicks selling at least part of his stake.

"For a lot of reasons I can't discuss, I haven't been able to fix it yet," Hicks said of the club's ownership.

"But I am preparing to be in a position to fix it."
