# Kuyt part of group hoping to buy lower league club – an intriguing venture

It’s now seven years since Dirk Kuyt left Liverpool, having spent six seasons as a Reds player.

During that time, the Dutchman became a crowd favourite, scoring huge goals and showing an admirable work ethic.

Kuyt is now hoping to return to English football in some capacity, having retired from the game.

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/1273587/2019/10/08/exclusive-bergkamp-larsson-kuyt-bid-to-buy-wycombe/), the 39-year-old is part of a group of ex-players who tried to buy Wycombe Wanderers, although a bid eventually collapsed.

Dennis Bergkamp and Henrik Larsson are also in the group, in what represents an interesting venture.

Kuyt and his colleagues had a vision of “catapulting Wycombe into stardom”, but that ship has now sailed.

The report states “if not Wycombe, it will be someone else”, though.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Kuyt always came across as an intelligent individual during his Liverpool days and it’s intriguing to see him attempting a new career as a football club owner.

He possessed a winning mentality that should stand him in good stead, especially alongside figures of Bergkamp and Larsson’s stature.

Should a takeover go through for another club, many Liverpool supporters may find themselves keeping an eye on their results every week.
