Liverpool's Chief Executive Rick Parry says DIC with complete their takeover of the club "relatively quickly".

"A huge amount of work has been going on from both parts. I imagine we'll have something concrete to say relatively soon on that," Parry told BBC Radio Five Live.

"They are finalising all the legal work. They have been examining the books and satisfying themselves that everything is fine on that score.

"There is lot of legal work to do and investigations going on into the funding of the new stadium, which is a very important project for us.

"It is a case of finalising the due diligence and pulling everything together, which we hope will be completed relatively quickly. It is looking positive and yes, I am confident it will go through."
