Breaking News: Montreal Canadiens owner to buy Liverpool


gil.jpgSportsnet is reporting that the owner of the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens hockey team, George Gillett Jr., is poised to buy Liverpool.

The deal comes after word that Dubai International Capital (DIC) has ended its interest in taking over Liverpool.

According to BBC sports editor Mihir Bose,

“DIC saw this as business enterprise but Gillett has told Liverpool that they are a sports franchise and they know how to run sports operations.”

Gillett is based in Colorado. He bought the Habs in 2001 and is a former minority owner of the Miami Dolphins and the Harlem Globetrotters.
