If this is true then we could be fucked, as they will then be outright owners of the club and do not need to sell. Once RBS have their money then they have nothing to do with the club anymore.

 

First of all they can't buy Hicks' shares as that would breach the current injuction.....

 

Second of all the New Englanders will sue the shit out of RBS, Hicks and everyone else involved.....

 

Third, even if they did, they stand to loose all their money, as massive boycotts will surely ensue....

How the fuck can some back street Texan whore house of a court over rule the judgement of the highest court in the land FFS?

 

Wouldn't H&G as well as the shitty little court be in contempt of our high court.

 

Texas has global juristiction as the rulers of the universe, thought you knew that by now..... :whistle:

 

That's why Iraq was invaded.....

It can't. The TRO is based on the word of the two cocks. As soon as they look into the case they'll see the high court ruling. The only problem is that RBS and NESV do extensive business in Texas, so they won't just ignore the ruling.

I think technically there is no jurisdiction (I am happy to be proved wrong), but since the main players have business interests in the States they have to tread very carefully.

 

The judge has granted an TRO based on what Hicks has said, but he will be told the other side of the story today. Does anyone seriously think that a Judge in Texas is even aware that the court case took place?

 

He has probably been told that an English court has ripped off a good old honest Texan, and the Judge needs to do something to help out a fellow American. He probably choked on his Corn Dog when he was told of this!

They will also present evidence that Hicks and Gillett have offered written undertakings in contracts signed with the RBS that ensures the ‘legal forum’ of any dispute will be held in the English courts. That effectively means they can not sue in the US.

The judge who granted the TRO has already expressed his unease with jurisdiction over the case, and after reviewing documents, he made clear that the claims made by Hicks were not backed by any substantial evidence.

Heh! Hicks in 'forgetting what he's agreed to' shocker.

 

This man really isn't very bright.

 

Have faith in Broughton, he's got these morons coming and going.

I don't believe the audacity of that Hick's he is living up to every world that RBS's barristers said he was.

 

How the can a little back street court possibly over rule the highest court in the UK, why doesn't the High Court just put the Texan court in contempt of court along with H&G and issue a warrent for their arrest?

 

Some people have no class then there is H&G there are no words to describe how classless these carpet baggers are.

 

The point is though they lost the case yesterday as they were in fact in breach of contract, and it was made perfectly clear to the pair that their claims were not based on fact.

 

Why would a Texan court now decide that a fair independant and impartial high court judge was in fact guilty of incompetance or was infact biased.

 

This doesn't look very good on H&G and Iam sure the Texan court will spank him, and apologise to the High Court for the rude little man that Hicks is.

 

I don't think they will or would be so disrespctfull to the High Court in London and try to over rule it's judgement.

 

And anyway how the hell does a court in the USA have any jurisdiction over anything that happens in the UK.

 

LFC is registered in the UKand Kop Holdings is registered in the Caymen islands (a uk colony), and I think as a company it is registered in the UK also.

I have faith in Broughton, just not in the American Legal system (As you pointed out earlier).

From Robert Peston's blog on BBC site:

 

Royal Bank of Scotland tells me that if it's true that Mill has taken the Hicks/Gillett shares and if Mill repays the £200m long-term debt owed by Liverpool FC (plus penalty fees) to RBS and Wachovia, then Mill is in the driving seat.

 

Once the debt is repaid, RBS's power ends.

 

At that point, the deal with New England Sports Ventures collapses.

 

Liverpool would have a new owner, Mill. And Mill will do with Liverpool what it pleases.

 

Hardly concrete, just seems like a bit of rumourmongering from Peston.

There is a restraining order on any sale!

 

FFS! Scare the people and stupidity commenses, they cannot sell anything without the say so of the board, that was the whole of the fucking point of yesterday's ruling.

 

Media tactics are awsome...its up to us to ease the people that go into overdrive. Hicks cannot sell by himself to anyone.

 

Its a board decision and thats legally binding.

Man Up gents.

Preposturous poppycock, Popper. As far as I understand it, Hicks can't just sell his shares like that. Not to mention that they've got an injunction stopping the sale.

 

What about old Georgie Porgie defaulting on his loan and mill now taking over his ownership, something not quite right there as the little weaselly faced bastard is noted in the texas writ, however there has also been mention they now own his share.... is he in or out, what the fuck do mill have to do with it, surely to fuck gillett cannot just transfer his part of the acquisition without the approval of the board.... loads of questions, I hope the pair of maggots are in deepest despair of biblical proportions right now, the godless fucks
