LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks is adamant that he has no plans to sell his stake in the English Premier League club.

Hicks says he remains fully committed to Liverpool Football Club.

He issued a statement denying that he had invited would-be purchasers Dubai International Capital to inspect Liverpool's accounts and insisted that he remained fully committed to carrying on in charge.

"Reports that I am about to sell my stake in the Liverpool Football Club, or to invite DIC to examine the club's books in preparation for such a sale - like other such reports planted in the UK press in recent weeks by parties with their own self-interested agenda - are absolutely and categorically false," he said in his statement.

"The reality is that I am personally, professionally and financially committed to the club and its supporters and that I will continue to honor that commitment to the best of my ability now and in the future."

Hicks' son, Tom Jr., was spat at and abused by Liverpool fans in a pub after Saturday's win against Middlesbrough. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
