Hicks and Gillett released their own statement in response to the club's.
"In April, we confirmed our agreement to sell Liverpool Football Club, and appointed a new chairman and advisers to oversee the process," it said.
"四月份,我们表示了同意出售利物浦足球俱乐部,并任命了新的俱乐部主席以及顾问们来监管这一进程.
"At that time we and Martin Broughton stated our commitment to finding the right buyer for LFC, one that could support and sustain the club in the future. We remain committed to that goal.

"因此,对于现在呈现在俱乐部高层面前的几份报价,我们认为极大的低估了俱乐部的实际价值.
"To be clear, there is no change in our commitment to finding a buyer for Liverpool Football Club at a fair price that reflects the very significant investment we've made.
