According to the Knosuj Place Times, Liverpool Manager Roy Hodgson may have struck gold by selling a youngster from Liverpool for top-geld to his Chelsea rivals.
The £52 million offer shatters the previous British record.
Although relatively unknown, Frank Towers apparantly made admirers at Melwood, still the move came as a shock to him, as did the £150,000 per week deal.
Roy is being hailed a hero for the surprise sale; although he denies credit for the sale.
"All I did was call Mr. Abwamovich and said I have a nice young stwika named F. Towwes would he like to buy him? Wohman offad me £52mill on the spot without me having to haggle. I would have let him have him for 50 gwand."
Roy explained he was surprised by Roman's enthusiasm, Roman wanted to fly straight away to South Africa to meet his new player. Mr. Hodgson didn't have the heart to tell him he was at home in Liverpool.
If reports are to be believed another young acadamy player Stephen Gewwad of Kensington, may be off to Real Madrid this summer for an estimated £30million.
Hicks and Gillett are known to be very pleased with their new manager and the way he has sold some unknown acadamy players for huge sums of money. They've even offered to buy Melwood a few new practice footballs to replace the ones purchased in 2007.
