High Court Date and Time

[Wor Horse]

Could NESV set up a company in the UK and then use that holding company to buy Liverpool FC?

 

I've got a feeling that IF they have jurisdiction that it's only over NESV.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

RBS and Broughton would have thought all this through.

[WhiskeyJar]

Please, please please...........let someone walk into that room and shoot Hicks face off.

The fact that NESV are American has nothing to do with it.

"Nice touch. Not only does Tom Hicks not want to sell #LFC, he also wants £1 billion of taxpayers' money."

[Carra_is_legend]

Whatever it is, I will give him one thing. Stubborness.

 

It will be his eventual downfall though.

 

There is a line somewhere always - one should always know when not to cross it. Hicks is blind at those times.

[Red Nick]

Get a grip

[HornsOfJericho]

I literally cannot wait until this old man dies. Really. 300,000 people die a day, so why can't one of them be this stupid old fuck tomorrow?

[Antynwa]

FBR Capital Markets. 3rd Bidder willing to pay £375-400 Million according to Tom Hicks. Shame they only had $275 Million dollars coming in last year.

[WhiskeyJar]

Why its bullshit since when has Texas law applied in England

 

It MIGHT apply since its an American Law based company thats buying us.

[Ponz]

Just die you fucking cockroach.

[TheHowieLama]

The fact that NESV are American has nothing to do with it.

 

This is true.

 

All this hysteria presumes Hicks is brighter than Henry -- which has already been proven false. NESV had counsel at the hearings (American).

[Wor Horse]

that's what the injunction is about isn't it?

 

They wouldn't even have room for an injunction in Texan court if NESV weren't American. It's bullshit anyway, UK company, UK Club, Uk Court.

You can see why Broughton wanted this meeting in Slaughter & Mays offices!

[RedKnight]

Well if it drags until the 25th?

 

It won't. Calm down, you're like a hysterical child.

[redsfan]

Am actually praying that this board meeting finishes to the sounds of Henry new owners, Hicks gillett means frig all!! Is that too much to ask!!

"On or about October 4, 2010, Mr. Hicks received a letter of interest from a third potential purchaser represented by FBR Capital Markets ("FBR"), offering to purchase Liverpool FC for £375 to £400 million ($595 to $635 million). The letter informed Mr. Hicks that the potential purchaser would not need financing, possessed the funds to close the transaction, and intended to build a new stadium for Liverpool FC."

 

"Additionally, the Plaintiffs learned just days ago about another potential investor that made a similar offer in the £350 to £400 million range that was communicated to Defendant Broughton and another unnamed co-conspirator in late August. According to this investor, Mr. Broughton never responded to the offer. Moreover, when the purported sale to NESV was announced, this investor again contacted Mr. Broughton and informed him that the offer, which significantly exceeded the NESV offer, was still on the table. Again, Mr. Broughton brushed this offer aside without further discussion."

 

Why didn't your lawyer say all this in court yesterday then? Because you've just fucking made up.

 

 

...and then the space pixies flew in through my window on an enchanted wildebeest unicorn and sang to me about their £850m bid for Liverpool FC, made on 17 July 2010. Their song was magical and it infused me with powerful enchantments, granting me knowledge and wisdom beyond that of any mortal man. Your honour.

 

 

I know it's not especially helpful, or classy, but I wish he'd just die in a fire or something. He's sucking the fucking blood out of this club and laughing whilst he does it. How did we ever end up here? Loathsome, loathsome cunt.

[TheHowieLama]

Friend, the purchaser is not the one who has legal rights BEFORE a sale.

[Lycan]

Try and stay calm people, i'm sure our solicitors are goin through this statement from the two mongs right now and there will be an official statement from the club soon enough.

[col06]

It MIGHT apply since its an American Law based company thats buying us.

 

as stated UK company, UK Club, Uk Court.

RT @dmnsctt: holding company is based in Delaware... I'd imagine that would have some sway in the US courts?

[Cardie]

I've just issued an injunction preventing texas courts issuing injuctions preventing the sale of Liverpool. No take backs.

 

So suck it texas.

[Salou]

They were granted the injunction because if I recally correctly one of the holding companies involved in this, can't remember which, is registered in Delaware Texas, injunction will stand as LFC is the asset of that company registered in Texas.

[Torvald Utne]

Absolutely fuck all to do with potential purchasers being american, this is just a claim for damages.
