Topic: Post board meeting, Hicks injunction thread. (*)

[Hinesy]

Post away for now. Anyone posting death threats, personal information or shite can expect a ban, lasting from a few days til the day when Tom Hicks is welcome in my house.

[benn25]

At last, bk on. Fucking idiots some peoples.

[Cusamano]

Hopefully this nonsense will be thrown out of court.

Can't see how a texas judge has any jurisdiction

[djphal]

what are the chances of this injunction being removed before I go to bed

[Umbarto]

Guys, please ffs keep it sane...

[ACE1]

WHERE MY TOPIC GO?

[cashmere pringle]

Gaurdian website saying nothing will happen till 25th .. the date of texas hearing ..

where does that leave us ?

[DanFromMars]

Just makes the comedy value all the greater when this NESV deal is wrapped up.

[Surprise me.]

If its upheld then the date of hearing is the 25th of October, otherwise we'll know in the next few days. Back to work.

[tinkertailor]

So they're prolonging our misery. Bastards.

It's quite incredible that it's £1 billion of the British taxpayer's money on the line, though. I wonder if there's any chance of the government getting involved.

[Rafa_La]

The price of Freedom is eternal vigilance. 

Never again can this Club allow its ownership to descend to such disarray.

Administration

[Rusty Oysterburger]

If all this stuff in the restraining order is so damming against the board why didn't they mention it in court yesterday? This will surely be thrown out as soon as it begins?

[Vladi Legend]

God I really should be getting to bed but I can't put this thing down!

Are we definately in state of deadlock now until Monday 25th or does anyone think there could be further developments tonight?

[HiroProtagonist]

How can this have jurisdiction in England? I don't get it. This is pissing me off.

[nyctex]

zero unless you don't plan on going to bed for a couple days

[benn25]

ok so here is the order again to mull over

In fucking limbo, that's where!

IM OFFF TO BED

[Dave Skywalker]

Nice tweet from Dan Roan

''This tawdry, desperate saga is why many feel leveraged takeovers of football clubs must now end. LFC & the sport deserves better than this''

Surely everyone knows what a complete tool these two are now.

[jc68]

The premier league could sort this. One of their clubs is subject to a hostile and unreasonable action. If they agreed to suspend the risk of a 9 nine point penalty for 24 hours, RBS could call in the loan, sell straight to NESV and then Hicks could fuck right off.

For America and Americans we'll bend over

[Lord Roger Hunt]

You can bet your bottom dollar that RBS lawyers are at either a Federal or Supreme Court Judge's house right now to get this over-ruled.   The DJ was conned and if Hick's lawyer has been spouting off to Bloomberg about the actions of the Board, well I would say that was actionable....

[electricghost]

Surely they think that the injunction can be removed now or they would have called the meeting over for tonight ?

[JonnyTwoTimes]

I wonder what the premier league will make of all this...

[Brian Blessed]

I'll be at the tx hearing, Hinesy willing

[red4ever]

Guardian reporting hearing in Texas is scheduled for October 25th. Hopefully this can get cancelled? Broughton seems to be pretty clued up over here, I wonder how well he knows the US scene. Hopefully NESV and RBS will help out too since they're involved in the injunction.

Just when you think it's over... I hate Hicks with a passion!

[silver 5 star]

Is it OK to post that I don't like Tom Hicks very much?

At all.

That sort of thing?

I would like to do a poo in his hat.

Ideally while he was still wearing the bloody thing.

[General Alonso]

I think something needs to be done at european level whereby Clubs are not allowed to be owned by foreign-registered entities of any sort.

[ml1n]

Does anybody with a legal mind understand the implications of the judge removing item c on page 5 of the TRO?

[Criztian]

I can only imagine what they are thinking in the board room...

They are probably as stunned as we are.

I hope John Henry doesn't have a case of buyers remorse right now... I mean he just wanted to buy our great club, make some money, bring us back to the top of the Premier League and have a good excuse to visit Ol' England to watch a footy game.

Instead he's got court cases being shoved up his ass, words like "fraud" and "conspiracy" being tossed around.

The poor guy makes a simple and honest attempt to buy a business and instead finds himself accused of being a criminal...

What a disaster this day has turned into for Liverpool fans around the world...

[Vladi Legend]

How can this have jurisdiction in England? I don't get it. This is pissing me off.

Because part of the club's companies, Kop Holdings or whoever, are registered in Texas. The judge is basically "protecting" an American company.

Or at least that's my take on it.

[ABJ]

Fuck it, Let RBS call in the money that they owe them, Where will that leave them? Injunction or not.

[skibaboo]

Surely they're still trying to rectify this tonight? They're still in the meeting right? Until I hear otherwise I live in hope...

[benn25]

So they're prolonging our misery. Bastards.

Thats a good point. Its basically Hicks Vs The United Kingdom almost.

[incredibleL4ever]

The RBS case that their interests will be prejudiced by the RTO will be explained to the good judge or to a higher one and the RTO will be lifted.  RBS will say they are entitled to their money by Friday, there were no other real offers that met the sales agreement with Hicks signed up to, that failure to pay by Friday means that Kop Football is insolvent and therefore will be put into administration and that this will further reduce the value of the asset, that if Hicks is agreeved he can still sue for damages and that Hicks is a lying Fat c*nt.

[WaltonRed]

Im beyond confused.

I dont understand anything any more.

Hicks clearly doesnt want administration as this blocks it.

but then what is he trying to achieve?

my hope is that this only ends up buying him a day but i guess we should now only expect the worst.

[dufus200]

heads fryed. im off to bed, hopefully when i get up it will have been sorted, but i doubt it.

[Breitner]

At least Hicks is not trying to throw the spanner in the works of any sale...joker.

Hopefully it's the last final attempt to rattle our cages by a desperate man.

[YayaP]

You really couldn't write this. It's beyond fiction. I leave for a few hours and come back to this.....unbelievable. I can honestly say I am embarrassed to be an American today. Sorry lads, I truly am.
