"I believe the prime minister already had his aides checking Liverpool's financial position in the past four to five months," said the Thailand National team boss Thawatchai Satchakul. "He is now in the process of deciding whether to bid for Liverpool.
"His feeling now is similar to that five or six months ago when Fulham was in the picture. If you visualised him doing shopping in a store, I would say the prime minister's eyes are now fixed on Liverpool."
