Souness Wants To Buy Wolves

Last updated : 09 January 2007 By Sam
Souness' claim comes after Wolves Chief executive Jez Moxey had earlier dismissed reports that he had shown an interest in buying Wolves from Sir Jack Hayward.

"I don't know why Jez Moxey is saying these things," Souness told the Express & Star newspaper

"Last week I made an offer, subject to an examination of the club's books and accounts, of £20m.

"I was told 'no' by Jez Moxey but the offer still stands. It is Sir Jack's football club and if he chooses not to sell it at this time, that's his prerogative. He can do what he wants.

"I have a partner and I see the club having vast potential and I would put more money into it - if I got the opportunity.

"This is not a Johnny Foreigner coming along to make a quick buck. But Jez has told me the offer wasn't acceptable. That's the end of the matter but it is there on the table."
