DIC make bid for Reds

DIC have given George Gillett and Tom Hicks until midnight to accept their offer or they will walk away from the negotiating table the Liverpool Echo has revealed today.

Gillett is reportedly keen on accepting the offer, which will allow him and Hicks to walk away from the club with £25m profit each. However, Hicks has been the stubborn one and has valued the club at £1bn, causing DIC chief executive and Liverpool fan Sameer Al Ansari to accuse him of "living in dreamland."

Al Ansari says one of the owners "have come out of dreamland" which suggests Gillett is ready to deal.
