Gao is reported to still be negotiating with potential buyers to sell the club. Last week, when the 23-year-old Kyril Louis-Dreyfus finally completed his takeover of the club, the loan was paid off. Three more clubs  Southampton, Derby and Sunderland  had taken out multimillion-pound loans from MSD or MSDs senior partners, and their stadiums, somewhat newer than Turf Moor, were also mortgaged. MSD describes itself as a private investment firm, based principally in the Olympic Tower on New Yorks 645 Fifth Avenue, which manages the assets of the tech billionaire Michael Dell, founder of Dell Technologies, and his family. But Gao was widely reported to have put the club up for sale last March; the borrowing from MSD followed three months later.
Michael Liessenauer, the current owner of the club, was named in the Gao group.
