i may as well just paste the whole article

Liverpool are set to become the target of a fresh takeover bid, according to media reports.

A Los Angeles-based Liverpool-born Hollywood film executive has revealed he is ready to put together a new consortium to buy the club.

Mike Jefferies said he has been talking to the club for the last six weeks.

This year, Liverpool have been targeted by a Thai media mogul and the Thai Prime Minister, while tycoon Steve Morgan's £73m rival offer was rejected.

Thai bid for Reds may fail

Jefferies is in partnership with Stuart Ford, an entertainment lawyer also based in the USA.

"We would like to be able to contribute to helping Liverpool become the most successful club in the world again," Jefferies told The Financial Times, which reports the bid is worth £100m.

Jefferies told BBC Radio Five Live he has not put a time frame on any potential bid but says that if Liverpool want to capitalise on the transfer market in January then they have to act now.

The duo are said to be keen to buyout the Moores family, who own 51.6% of the club, but they are reported to be keen to retain the involvement of chairman David Moores.

Jefferies is chairman of Milkshake Films, the company making 'Goal!' - a movie about a South American footballer who comes to the English Premiership.

The film is being shot partly on location at Newcastle's St James' Park and is due to be released in August 2005.

Yup jus on my way home from work and heard the same.(BBC radio 5live).

Lets hope we have some good news this time around, something positive.

We all knew Morgan was serious but it seems as though the 'Thai Guys' were using us to raise their profile in their own country.

Sounds more encouraging though,as we have only jus got wind of talks that began six weeks ago-now thats the way it should be done.

Well it sounds all well and good but then the last couple of bids to be thrown around have ended with nothing. So I'm not going to hold my breath on this one, having said that and injection of £100million certainly wouldn't go amiss...
