Thai talk is nonsense

National coach Thavatchai Sajakul insists the Thai PM only wants 'access' to the club and assistance to develop the game in Thailand.

"Our intention is not to take over," said Sajakul. "We just want some kind of access to a Premier League club.

"We're looking very closely at Liverpool and aside from the access we need some co-operation. Our intention is just to support Thai football."

A spokesman for Liverpool FC said: "This is nothing more than speculation and we do not comment on such things."
