On SSN, Sorry if already posted

 

Tom Hicks and George Gillett have dropped their restraining order, but they are still fighting New England Sports Ventures' proposed takeover of Liverpool.

 

Hicks and Gillett's court order, obtained in Texas, appeared to be the last hurdle preventing NESV from completing their £300million buy-out of the Anfield club.

 

NESV supremo John W Henry, who also owns the Boston Red Sox, confirmed on Friday that they were still pursuing the case in Dallas, but now it has emerged that this action has been dropped, as was instructed by the High Court in London on Thursday.

 

However, it is understood that Hicks has done this in order to sell his share in the club to Mill Financial, who already own Gillett's stake in the club after he defaulted on his debt to the American hedge fund.

 

Should Mill Financial take full control, then they would be then in a position to pay-off the debts of £280million to Royal Bank of Scotland, which are due on Friday.

 

RBS have publicly backed NESV's proposed buy-out, but should Mill take full control then the situation could change as they may be able to halt the sale and seize power.

 

The latest twist comes as the Dallas court case was due to resume at 1pm BST, but that now appears unlikely to proceed.

 

How can they have used their shares as collateral on two loans?

We should have employed the "Pirate Bay" way of dealing with this from the beginning:

 

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States

of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.

Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.

For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

 

Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,

will result in

a) a suit being filed for harassment

b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for

sending frivolous legal threats.

 

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and

that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

 

Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on

Go fuck yourself.

 

Polite as usual,
