May have been posted before but, Mill Financial can't just buy the shares and takeover LFC without passing fit and proper owners test with Prem League if am not mistaken... correct me if am wrong.

My brain literally can't take any more of this. I'm going to get out of it for a while and do some work until some real news starts filtering through at 2 o'clock.

Unless I missed it Hicks Dallas lawyer made me laugh: "Anyone ignoring a restraining order in Texas does so at their peril".

They're a delusional lot them Texans aren't they? As if that's the ultimate sanction possible to impose on us and we MUST bow down to it. Idiots.

That's why Mill didn't get in as a bidder, they would only do it with exclusivity.

I think he means the binding agreement NESV are claiming, given that their takeover has been given the go ahead by the court approved board of directors

This agreement must be binding under the terms of the agreement.

This is different to having the exclusive rights to negiotiate a purhcase

Blame the greed of the Premier League/SKY corporate machine

They sold out the long term stability of football clubs for short term success so they could claim to be 'the best league in the world'

he is 100% right. RBS and the directors as individuals have every right to fear a contempt citation from the court.

It'll never get there, but they still have to take the threat seriously

12.58pm: Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks remains in control of his share of the club and has not sold out to Mill Financial, Press Association Sport reports.

Reports this morning suggested the hedge fund, a branch of Washington-based Springfield Financial, had acquired the Texan's 50% share having already taken ownership of his fellow co-owner George Gillett's half.
However, a UK-based spokesman for Tom Hicks told Press Association Sport Mill Financial had not acquired Hicks' shares.

1.17pm: A spokesman for Tom Hicks has confirmed to my colleague Andy Hunter that the stake has NOT been sold to Mill Financial.

If everything goes 100% right for Liverpool, yes, however it may drag on for another couple of weeks.

Hopefully get some good news, would also like a warrant to be issued for the arrest of both of the fuckers (contempt of court, fraud) should they ever have the audacity to step foot on UK soil again.......can but hope.

Well it looked that way 24 hrs ago and look how that turned out. Some say after this step we must take them on in the American courts. So lets see how today goes.

Not if Hicks' barrister isn't there.

That's a home win, almost certain.

No doubt Hicks will then use the fact that he had no representation in Court in his next submission to the Texan court, although by then he may be chasing shadows.

Thanks Marko, after 40 posts saying the same thing I think it still needed reiterating

Well with people writing to Mill to say 'you've bought all the shares' etc. though it was worth pointing out they haven't!

Also, saw nothing but the opposite said.

This is the financial equivalent of Liverpool 4 Newcastle 3.

That's it for now.

Tom will make sure that this runs for months.

In the immediate term, we just have to hope that the high court rules in favour of RBS/Broughton and the jurisdiction of law, and the sale can go ahead before Friday.

Tom will drag the issue's regarding his $1.6bn compensation for his hurt feelings through court after court after court, over the course of months, if not years.
