American billionaire Robert Kraft has ruled out bidding for Liverpool.
The Daily Mail says the paper and packaging tycoon was prepared to lend his expertise to Liverpool's new stadium plans, prior to George Gillett and Tom Hicks assuming control, but has never expressed a wish to buy into the club.
Though linked yesterday with a move for Gillett's holding, he has always maintained he has enough to contend with, as owner of American football team New England Patriots and Major League Soccer's New England Revolution.
