Liverpool's three-year search for new investment could finally be settled before the end of the month.

The Guardian says Reds chief executive Rick Parry is hopeful that matters will come to a head in the next fortnight.
The consortiums involved in talks include a group led by the Norwegians Oystein Stray Spetalen and Petter Stordalen; another headed by Samir Ansari of Dubai International Capital; and a Switzerland-based consortium put together by Robin Herd, the former owner of Oxford United.
Parry and his chairman, David Moores, have also visited George Gillett Jr, the owner of the
Montreal ice hockey team and formerly the Harlem Globetrotters, but they are yet to receive the American's proposals in full.
