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

Word on the street is that if the injunction fails to prevent the sale, Hicks is going to invoke a special plea to his Mum.
'AWWwwwwww Muuuuuuuum, theyre trying to take my toy off me. Ive tried everything, can youuuuu speak to their mums for me?'

I blame the parents, his mum is partly responsible for raising such a horrible greedy little boy.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

I wonder if Hicks has greesed any palms or called in old favours from his fellow hairy Texans, in an attempt to get corrupt a result here?

Id like to see him investigated and jailed if found guilty of any white collar crimes.

So we have to wait until the 25th?

This is a fucking farce.

Go and drown and rot in a bucket of your own bile and vomit, you fucking cunting fuck, Mr Hicks.

If we win this one, where next? Ohio? Maine? Beirut? Twatt (its a real place)? As long as it's not Rhyl, we'll be fine.

i had to visit a cemetery there once - it was sad looking at all the names on the graves, but it was at least nice knowing that they were buried in Twatt when they died.

He'll probably just drink some spinal fluid and head back in time to change history, that's what I'd do. Let's just hope that he decides to buy a different club this time around.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

Maybe he will have a moment of clarity and realise destroying something millions of people love, for his own greedish ways, is wrong.

Hicks Lawyer

"innundated with angry e-mails from Liverpool fans." I asked him: How does a Dallas court have jurisdiction over proceedings initiated in the U.K. He says: Royal Bank of Scotland is registered to do business in the state of Texas; and, of course, New England Sports Ventures is U.S. based. Also being sued is Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton. And, says Stodghill, "We allege in the lawsuit he committed some of his tortuous acts in Texas in meetings with Mr. Hicks, so we're suing him in part based on conduct here that did harm to Texas residents."

Hicks and Gillett's £237 million debt to RBS is due Friday. So, then, what happens between now and then, as the TRO hearing is set for October 25? Says Stodghill, what happens in the next two days "remains to be seen." As in: "There could be an additional fight at the courthouse over the TRO -- that could potentially happen. There could be discussions with the board to evaluate the higher offers. The one offer they're refusing to evaluate is £100 million over NESV's. And there could be discussions with RBS."

This is all very pathetic.. but couldnt the fans use the stupid American system to counter, harm to the residents of the world.... Maybe Rafa and the squad could take him to court for damages.

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

I think the best was is for RBS to call in the loan and sell off LFC to anyone of its choice?

If Hicks have the cash to repay RBS, he would have done so some time ago, why wait till now? Just call his bluff.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

The TRO granted by the Judge is simply a form of injunctive relief where, among other criteria, he perceives there is a real danger that irreversible damage will be suffered if the TRO is not granted with haste. As I gather the application for the TRO was brought ex parte (in the absence of the other party, or parties in this case), so he’s had no opportunity to consider the collective merits of our case, and I doubt Hicks was honest enough to inform the Judge of the High Court decision.

Once our case is presented, I’m confident he’ll see that Hicks’ arguments won’t get off the ground. Even if there was any merit in Hicks case, there’s no reason why an award if monetary damages wouldn’t be sufficient restitution, especially as he has already conceded that a sale is inevitable.

I also very much doubt he’d risk offending the principle of comity, as it would be extremely discourteous of the Judge to extend the injunction once evidence of the High Court judgment is presented to him.

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

Quiffing, but this from the BBC....

In reply, the board vowed to "move as swiftly as possible to seek to have it [the restraining order] removed".
The club's statement continued: "Following the successful conclusion of High Court proceedings, the board of directors of Kop Football and Kop Holdings met and resolved to complete the sale of Liverpool FC to New England Sports Ventures.
"Regrettably, Thomas Hicks and George Gillett obtained a Temporary Restraining Order from a Texas District Court against the independent directors, Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and NESV, to prevent the transaction being completed.
"The independent directors consider the restraining order to be unwarranted and damaging and will move as swiftly as possible to seek to have it removed."
BBC Business Editor Robert Peston reported: "Although the Texas court has no direct jurisdiction in the UK, both New England Sports Ventures and Liverpool's bankers, Royal Bank of Scotland, would not wish to be seen to be wilfully defying that court, because that could cause harm to their substantial US operations.

DAVID BOND'S BLOG
Mr Justice Floyd's judgement is as emphatic as Broughton and the club's bankers Royal Bank of Scotland could have hoped for
BBC sports editor David Bond
"That is why RBS and New England Sports Ventures will attempt to have the restraining order lifted on Thursday. If that's achieved, Liverpool could then be sold from under Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett within a matter of hours."
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

I think the judge signs these things almost without reading them, and when he gets a chance to do so, unless he decides to be a hero, he's going to throw it out, especially when lawyers from RBS show up.

All that said, I wish it was all over.

I agree with Oncy that this is just a fat fuck in his death throws, but it's been so long now that I wonder whether Broughton is going to seem to seem to win "none shall pass", and emerge as Broughton the white a year from now after being locked into some fucking existential crisis while falling into the centre of the earth.

It's certain to be an e-parte order; but this has probably been calculated to be another delaying tactic.

The fact that Hicks hasnt given full and frank disclosure willdoom his application at the inter partes stage; but it is fixed for Oct 25 after administration.

My biggest fear is that I'm not sure if we can place reliable faith in a Texan court, where as I said, they're best known for executing people.

I've never really wish harm on anyone, aside from peodo's, rapists, murderers, etc, but I'm getting fucking close to it with this prick, what a horrible, spiteful twat of the highest order.

My understanding is it can be thrown out before then. The defendants can decide to have the case heard earlier, and it's subject to immediate review, given that the other parties weren't there.

12 minutes in. Very interesting.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

So basically Hicks is trying to put pressure on RBS by threatening their assets in Texas AND capitalising on the fact that Liverpool's potential buyers are American. Though they've only put $15,000 down in court to secure their case, against £237m.

CUNT.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

I congratulate Mr.Hicks on becoming only the second person in my entire life that I've truly hated. Fuck reasonable judgement I hope somebody gets to meet him. And to think I occasionally got brow-beaten into not spouting off about that vermin. I hope somebody gets to him I really do.

Is Hicks, by trying to block the sale of the club, actually breaking UK law given todays judgement ?
[/quote]

Depending on the order in court was structured, possibly.

But I don't think so though.

Had he tried this stunt after NESV got the declaratory judgment then quite likely.

There is one element of good news though; by doing this stunt he's guaranteed that he'll never be able to go to an Appellate court in the UK on this.

Bad news is well, it's Texas.

Countersue H&G for $1.6B and then build a big f-off stadium with the proceeds
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (RBS WIN COURT RULING - CONFIRMED.........TBC

Frivolous lawsuits are usually filed by people without a pot to piss in, like Tom Hicks.

A counter-suit would get 1.6 billion of fuckall.
