John Henry has started using his Twitter account a bit more in the last two days. He just tweeted this...

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

Well, it seems pretty definite that there will be a judgment tomorrow (not "verdict" incidentally - that's what juries decide on in criminal trials).

As for Hicks, I remember finding a quote about him once from an American financial journalist saying "Tom Hicks is not a man for deep thought". Says it all really.

I know about two baseball teams the Red Sox and the Yankees.

I know nothing about baseball, apart from Pudge Fisk in 70 (something) hitting the ball and it hit the foul post, I thought that was the biggest game in their history and they won the world series? cos people started rushing the pitch. (all thanks to Good Will Hunting)

The other thing I know is that ManU have some kinda link with the Yankees.

It does at least show that the attempt by H and G's lawyers to persuade the judge that there was no need for a quick outcome has failed. However, I'd be wary of reading more into it than that at this stage.

Of course it does... Its a nice, shiney political campaign add.

And everything they say in it is true.

These people know about taking over a sleeping giant with a glorious history and unbreakable ties within the local community (as well as an enormous global appeal), making promises to a skeptical public and KEEPING them, and restoring the team to it's former and expected place, without selling it's soul to do so.

Again, IF they handle us like they handled my American "us", we'll all be delighted with the results in a couple of years.

Anita, I wouldn't associate either cowboys or hillbillies with a lack of intelligence. And they're totally different things. Cowboys live(d) on the plains, hillbillies in the hills of Kentucky and places like that.

Yes and No. Yes, to change the board, No because it's a Judgement and not a Verdict.

Alright, that's it, get your tracksuit off Spider-Neil's Endless Questions, you're going on. I'm gonna try you at centre half instead of angry creditors because they're clearly angry at H&G rather than the club.

I'm also bringing on Judge Floyd for points deduction because the likelihod of that seems to have receeded today.
