Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

The way it seems to me, Lim lost out in the official tendering process because his bid was lower than NESV's. When the tender is awarded to the best bid, you can't then come back with a higher bid. That would make a mockery of the bidding process.

Lim should have come in with his best price at the appropriate time.

All of them?
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

Portly - either that or, if Lim lost because of other factors (I have in mind Broughton's earlier statement about the highest bidder not necessarily being the best), he should have made sure he at least matched those.

I think Broughton did say that Lim's offer was not the highest in financial terms.

I think I would begin to feel sorry for Hicks if the company were to be sold for a lower amount than could have been achieved. That would have been twisting the knife!! ;D

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

This from the offal


Liverpool FC Chairman Martin Broughton spoke with delight after emerging from Court 18 in the Royal Courts of Justice in London this morning.


Addressing a media scrum alongside fellow Board members Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre, he gave the following interview.

Mr Broughton, your reaction to the outcome today?

We are delighted with the result. We feel justice has been done. That's what we came for and that's what we got. We are delighted.

Will you still have to seek a declaratory judgement as well?

We will take legal advice on that. We will get the board reconstituted by 8pm this evening and we will plan to have a board meeting soon after that.

And your intention is to continue with the sale to NESV?

We will continue with the sale process.

What do you think of the owners' behaviour throughout this process?

I don't wish to comment on the owners' behaviour. I've commented on that enough. I think the court has argued in favour of the sale.

Will NESV own the club by tomorrow?

There's a board meeting this evening, hopefully to determine whether or not that is the case.

Do you have a duty to consider any of the other bids that have come in that may be higher?

We will take legal advice on this.

Do you expect the owners to take part in this?

I would expect they will. They will certainly be invited as they were last time. I have no reason to believe they will not be there.

If there is an appeal next week will that affect the process?

We will take legal advice on that.

Has this been one of the most difficult periods in your business career?

It's been a bit difficult but we got the right result.

Mr Lim's complaint about not being properly considered - is there anything in that?

I think you'll find we considered all bids appropriately.

Has this had any damage to your relationship with New England - will there be any smoothing over to do?

No smoothing over to do. We are delighted they were there.

And have you continued to talk to them throughout this process?

We've continued to talk to New England.

It came out in court, is the declaratory judgement an option rather than a condition of the sale?

It's an option.

On either side?

Yes on either side.

You see all the supporters here, it obviously means a great deal to them - can they look forward to a better future?

Absolutely. We've been here to complete a sale process. We said right from the offset that we would find the right owners for Liverpool and that was our target. I think we've done that. We were very fortunate that we had two bidders, both of whom qualified as far as we were concerned for being the right owners. We had to choose between them and I think Liverpool Football Club can look forward to a great future with its new owners.

And what of your and Christian's futures now? Any thoughts on how long you will be involved with the club?

There hasn't been an item of discussion with New England at all.

What are your hopes for the club now?

The vital thing is that all of the offers have wiped out all of the acquisition debt and that puts the club on a sound financial footing. And that was the single most important thing.

What do you think won it?

Fragrant abuses of undertakings.

Were you always confident that you had a rock solid case?

Yes I was always confident. You can never be 100 per cent confident when it comes to court. That's the only element of doubt.

Now that the cunts are out, this could turn into a bidding war.

NESV were so keen to get this deal done asap because they were buying the club at a super discount.

Now the board are back in control without hindrance, they are obliged to review all the bids again.

The club has already been sold.

I think a few on here hate them too, or did, they seem absent from this thread though, so..
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

What a great day for the club.
I'm delighted. Really, really delighted those two cunts have lost money and will soon have nothing to do with LFC. Well done to the 'Home Team', ye all played a blinder.

I'm looking forward to seeing RAWK's reaction and views on Pursssssslow in the coming days.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

Could I be happier at this moment?

Unlikely.

Fucking brilliant!

Some people on RAWK are having a hard time dealing with the fact that they were wrong about Broughton and Purslow, others are putting their hands up begrudgingly. It is ultimately because of their blind adoration of Rafa.

What a load of cunts. Spouting off their shite, like many fans, with absolutely no proof of evidence of what was actually going on. Presumptious and two faced.

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

From The Guardian website:

Liverpool fans might enjoy knowing that on Margaret Thatcher's 85th birthday she'll be watching nothing but celebrating scousers and miners all day on TV.

Ha!
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED)

Some legal opinions:

Andrew Nixon, Associate at Thomas Eggar LLP, said:

This ruling means that there will be no need for Mr Broughton and the board to bring their own declaratory proceedings seeking an Order that they are entitled to push ahead with the deal.

Hicks and Gillett do have a right to appeal the ruling against them and given the amount of cash they are set to lose on a sale to NESV, they are likely to do so. Should they decide to take that option, then there will be further delay. If an appeal is launched then RBS may extend the loan deadline. Regardless of Justice Floyd's assertion in this morning's judgment that it would be "inappropriate" to appeal it seems likely that there is still considerable mileage in this case.

tom, george, don't bother, you'll only end up wasting more of your money.
