Liverpool FC announced today that they have agreed to be taken over by American duo George Gillett and Tom Hicks for ÃÂ£174.1m (Ã¢âÂ¬265m).

Cash injection
Gillett and Hicks said they would pay ÃÂ£5,000 (Ã¢âÂ¬7,600) per Liverpool share and the total value of the deal, including debt, was ÃÂ£219m (Ã¢âÂ¬333m). Billionaire Hicks is the owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team and the Dallas Stars ice hockey team, while Gillett owns ice hockey's Montreal Canadiens. Liverpool, the 2005 UEFA Champions League winners, have been seeking an injection of cash for two years to help challenge for top honours and fund a new stadium.

'New era'
Gillett and Hicks intend to build a new 60,000-seat stadium for which the club has already received planning permission. "I believe this is a great step forward for Liverpool, its shareholders and its fans," club chairman David Moores said. Chief executive Rick Parry added: "This is great for Liverpool, our supporters and the shareholders Ã¢â¬â it is the beginning of a new era for the club."

Similar takeovers
The deal follows a string of similar takeovers of English clubs by wealthy individuals, with Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich buying London club Chelsea FC in 2003 and US sports tycoon Malcolm Glazer buying Manchester

Bangkok resident.
