Pillay has constantly been voicing his support for the Sahara Group to take over controversy-laden Indian hockey in their own private capacity. He even urged the Indian government to hand over the reins to the Lucknow-based company who, he feels, will do a great job in promoting the national game given their sheer love for sport.
There were reports of disagreements over mounting debts between Liverpool's current owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who acquired the club in 2007, that led to rumours that a number of foreign buyers were all set to bid for the English Premier League club.
Roy has reportedly
tendered a bid to pay off Liverpool's 237 million pounds (approximately Rs 1707.1 crore) debt in return for a stake in the club.
