Pinched from RAWK but brilliant.

 

Our Shankly, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done,

in Anfield as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our club back.

And forgive Moores his foolishness,

as we forgive them that conspire against us.

And lead us not into administration;

but deliver us from Hicks.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory,

for ever and ever.

 

Amen.

RBS STATEMENT

 

RBS in its capacity as lender to the Kop group of companies received the benefit of various contractual undertakings from Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett in relation to the corporate governance arrangements that Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett agreed would apply to the Kop group of companies with effect from April 2010.

 

Those undertakings provided for the appointment of Mr Broughton as chairman of the board and the appointment of the chief executive and commercial director of LFC to the Kop boards.

 

As is well known, Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett purported to make changes to those corporate governance arrangements on 4 October. This was in breach of those contractual undertakings.

In light of that purported breach of contract RBS sought and obtained on Friday 8 October 2010 an interim injunction against Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett until a further hearing scheduled for tomorrow.

 

Among other things, that interim injunction prevents Mr. Hicks or Mr. Gillett taking any steps to remove or replace Mr. Broughton from his position as chairman of the board of the Kop companies or from taking any other steps to appoint or remove any directors from the board of the Kop companies.

 

The proceedings tomorrow represent the continuation of Friday’s proceedings and relates to breach of contract only. These proceedings do not represent steps by RBS to enforce its security or to appoint an administrator.

 

We are unable to provide any visibility on timing for resolution of these proceedings at this stage.

I am baffled, RBS aren't involved in the court case yet are they ?

 

I thought it was the board v the owners

 

What exactly are RBS stopping H&G doing with this injunction ?

 

It was granted on 8th Oct and it basically means Hicks and Gillett can't alter the board until the case has been resolved.
