Hicks is thought to have first refusal on Gillett's shares
|
Tom Hicks says he is prepared to block any attempt by co-owner George Gillett to offload his stake in Liverpool.
Reports suggest Gillett may be ready to sell his shares in the club.
But Hicks told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper: "Not only am I not going to sell, my partner cannot sell without my approval.
"So I kind of have the ability to determine the outcome of what is going to happen, and I am right in the middle of that."
He added: "For a lot of reasons I can't discuss, I haven't been able to fix it yet. But I am preparing to be in a position to fix it."

606: DEBATE

American pair Hicks and Gillett beat off competition from DIC to take over Liverpool in February 2007 and own 50% each.
But since then, they have become increasingly unpopular among Reds fans, drawing criticism for their treatment of manager Rafael Benitez and their financial management of the club.
