Liverpool fans have responded with mixed emotions to news of takeover talks with one of the wealthiest families in Kuwait.
Some supporters are concerned that Tom Hicks' decision to open discussions with representatives of the Al-Kharafi family could lead to further off the field strife.
While the obvious appeal of having vast amounts of cash in the bank is welcomed, with one fan excitingly commenting "let's buy Kaka" on one of the club's unofficial messageboards, the fear of 'doing a Manchester City' is a concern for other supporters.
"I really hope something good comes of this," redfishman7 says on the redandwhitekop.com forum. "I don't want us to be in the stupid situation that City have found themselves in."
Gazzam1963 does not share his fellow supporters' concerns. He says: "The problem with City is they have all this cash to spend but no prospects for a couple of years.
"Liverpool are one of the top European sides with fantastic history, top of the league, Champions League every year so we are a different prospect to City."
Other Reds supporters see it as a chance to finally get rid of American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, whose rocky relationship has caused no end of problems for manager Rafa Benitez.
"Hope some good comes of this, but I doubt it will," Virginia Plain says. "Hicks is too much of a greedy b-----d and he doesn't know when to quit."
