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

[blink184]

Fuck those fat american c*nts. fuck them up their stupid asses.

[conman]

All those bashing Lim, take it easy eh lads ? I'm no fan and don't know the ins and outs of his bid, but I do remember the same was said about DIC being "DIC'ed out" and other remarks on here while G&H had stayed the course apparently.

Not in any way equating NESV with G&H, but Lim's has pulled out, thanked the club and staff and said the club deserves better than its current state, it's best to leave it there and move on.

wise words Tip

My F5 key has actually stopped working!

Ctrl + R is the way to go

[benn25]

Has Lim pulled out?

pisstaker 

[muchtyred]

Lim is making noises like he was in the running to have his bid accepted.  Even now he thinks he should be considered, does he understand "Binding Agreement".  F**king Twat!! Piss off up the east lancs rd!!  Knobhead

[eddymunster]

It's irrelevant.  NESV had a legally binding contract with our board made last week.  Why should they go back on that word just because some manc-cafe owner twat decides to chance his arm by throwing in another poxy £20m?

I am not agreeing with it, just find the wording suspicious given the circumstances.

[Mr Dilkington]

Lim pulls out off the bidding, sort off irrelevant given the circumstances, yet Sky paint it as " A massive twist in the Liverpool ownership saga, big big breaking news ". Fuck off.

[Aristotle]

you put your lim bid in
your lim bid out
in out in out
shake it all about

you take it up the ass from tommy hicks
and thats what your bids about

Pure kwality

[mulfella]

I must say, not read the Guardian on a regular basis since at Uni (it was free in the Union)

The way they have kept us up to date has been VERY impressive. Accurate and not scaremongering.

True to a degree.

Whats really interesting about it is that its being written and edited by us to a large degree.

Steve Busfield is now merely an aggregator of content with multiple sources from tweets, actual journalists and user genereated content.

Over the last few days, I, like many others, have been posting him content and corrections. To be fair to him as well hes responded to each one and where a corrections been needed he's implemented it.

Probably more for the media thread though

In other news the Titanic has just hit an iceberg.

Fuck me, next you will be saying a man has walked on the moon ;P

[mercurial]

it is a pity tom hick's father didn't

   

[toomanysteves]

for anyone who knows;

will the ruling today supersede the american injunction?

no

But having read the petition and subsequent order from the US court it seems that the judge was unsurprisingly given a quarter of the story. I can't imagine there would be serious problems with getting the matter before him again before the adjourned date of the 25th and getting it lifted.

[Hinesy]

Clearly Lim was an ally of Hicks to help gain him time.

[RaveDave]

why is everyone pissed of with Lim, im guttd he is out, new stadium debt paid off 40m in januay and not american sounds like best offer to me, i dont see how these new yankd differ from hicks and gillete they even have similar business history.

I would rather have NESV own us than some Manc lover, who timed his increased bid yesterday at the same time as the court case more than likely to try and damage our case, it has also been reported that he doesn't care what Premier League club he buys, that if Liverpool doesn't work he will go elsewhere.

[TipTopKop]

wise words Tip

Just seen all things before mate, not taking anything for granted anymore.

[Alan B'Stard]

He went out on a Lim(b) to make that bid too 

[Brooks]

This is brilliant drama :-) The Texas district court was 'bound' to hear the complaint and for whatever reason, issued the TRO "solely" on the limited information presented by the plaintiff, hence the amended text - it was only an act to frustrate. I wonder if there's going to be any legal retribution against H&G for perverting legal process here in the UK?

[J-Mc-]

Hicks really stuck a lim out there along with the injunction eh?

[fatherjack]

Why don't you do a bit of research on NESV before typing absolute tosh? NESV are nothing like Hicks and Gillett.

@paul_tomkins NESV are certainly not the only bidder in town. Not by a long shot

[xavidub]

No one has the slightest idea which of our suitors will prove to be the right one so perhaps we will give Lim a break eh?

[walshys_mullet]

What a crap-weasel!

I love that word!

correct.  Home team still needs to appear/petition the court in Dallas to have TRO lifted regardless of what happens at the High Court in London

[kopforever]

Lim jokes wearing thin now.

[firing squad]

Why does Lim always wait until the case is happening to release a statement.

probably watched Everton in the transfer market a lot.

[shockwave_dave]

So, if Lim has pulled out, then that is not great news for us, since the fact he is offering a similar amount lends more credibility that the NESV offer is reasonable

It means there's only one real, credible bid out there. That's good

[Big Red Richie]

I would rather have NESV own us than some Manc lover, who timed his increased bid yesterday at the same time as the court case more than likely to try and damage our case, it has also been reported that he doesn't care what Premier League club he buys, that if Liverpool doesn't work he will go elsewhere.

So in essence, he's just achancer, out to make money.


Shit. I think we dodged another bullet, there.

Reached their natural Limit?

2.35pm: For those who think that this is a bit like a bad episode of a long-running US soap opera about the rich and powerful in a certain US state....

"Does that mean I'll go into the shower and find that David Moores is still in charge with Graeme Souness as manager?" asks Stephen Cottrell.


Kwaality as well

[General Alonso]

Update the fucking blog, Steve.

[payback]

if the courts disagree over who has juridiction does that mean that a court can take another court to court?

[shockwave_dave]

Fuck me, next you will be saying a man has walked on the moon ;P

We've landed on the moon!!!

[JP!]

Seems Heather Mills isnt the only one missing a Lim

[♠Dirty Harry♠]

What a crap-weasel!

I love that word!

Scurrilous hyphenation, clearly two words

[killerH]

SSN are a joke, making out Lim's pullout is 'big news'. He was at the back of the queue anyway.

Exactly, I was off work yesterday, so was watching SSN a fair bit. They are clueless, banging the Lim agenda all day despite all of us knowing that NESV has a legally binding agreement with LFC's board. 

Clueless, even during yesterday's board meeting, they were still banging on about Lim. Idiots.

David Buik I have to say was superb, put them in their place, saying NESV is a done deal, SSN were aghast, so they ignored it, and proceeded to hype up Lim's offer. Bloody idiots.

That goes for Radio 5 Live and Robert Peston (who I have a alot of time for, but purely on business/economic matters - not sport, he's just as clueless as the rest of them), spreading baseless rumours.

[Carly]

correct.  Home team still needs to appear/petition the court in Dallas to have TRO lifted regardless of what happens at the High Court in London

Which shouldnt take long when the judge see's the contracts Hicks signed with RBS.

[blink184]

2.45pm: Back to Sachin outside court 18: QC Snowden speaking for RBS: Only one par in H&G injunction appeal refers high court case and even that is incorrect as it says Martin Broughton was restored to the board. In fact only Purslow and Ayre were. "This is a grossly inappropriate summary."

Witness statement from Martin Broughton reveals the board were close to agreeing deal with NESV at last night's meeting. Appears the Texas injunction stalled the process.
