Indian group ponder Liverpool investment

The GMR group is also the owners of Indian IPL cricket club Delhi Daredevils.

The group were in Liverpool this week and sat alongside club co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett and watched the 4-4 draw with Arsenal.

Hicks and Gillett are desperate to bring in a new investor as they must soon refinance theri £350million loan.

A Kop source told News of the World: “The GMR group were invited by Hicks and their representative watched the Arsenal match in the directors’ box with Hicks’ son Tommy. It was quite clear the representative was a fan.

“When you look at the company’s commitment to sport they’re exactly the type of partner Tom would be looking for.”
