Re: LFC not yet sold to NESV (but we're getting there, maybe...)
From someone who was in Dallas;
"Was there in Dallas. J. Jordan made it clear that he wanted "this matter resolved" so parties could close on 15th."
Guess we'll know tomorrow then...

Re: LFC not yet sold to NESV (but we're getting there, maybe...)
From the Dallas Morning News:
A Dallas judge scheduled a 7 a.m. hearing Friday to hear arguments about whether he should lift his restraining order halting the sale of Liverpool Football Club to the owner of the Boston Red Sox for $476 million.
“I want this issue to be resolved for the parties,†said state district judge Jim Jordan in a Thursday court hearing.
Jordan’s decision followed an hour-long hearing Thursday afternoon in which lawyers for New England Sports Ventures described an attempt by Dallas businessman Tom Hicks to block the team’s sale in a U.S. courtroom as "legal foul play."
Hicks and Colorado businessman George Gillett bought Liverpool FC in 2007.
“As the court will learn, this lawsuit is the product of an attempted coup by Hicks and Gillett to circumvent the recent ruling of the High Court of Justice in London that prevent Hicks and Gillett from hijacking the proposed sale of Liverpool FC to new ownership," NESV's lawyers said in filings supporting their position.
Earlier Thursday, a British judge granted an injunction against Hicks and Gillett that could clear the way for the club's sale. High Court Judge Christopher Floyd issued an order against the legal action taken in Dallas.
"This case has no real connection to Texas," Floyd said.
NESV wants Jordan to throw out a temporary restraining order he granted Thursday that halted the sale. They contend Hicks and Gillett are trying to "hijack" the sale.
"Hicks and Gillett, through their desperate and transparent maneuvers, have thumbed their noses at the British court after their arguments there fell flat," NESV argued.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, lawyers for Hicks and Gillett called the sale of Liverpool FC to NESV “an epic swindle,†saying that the price was well below the team’s value.

I will no doubt be sat in some car park or some layby off some main road screaming at the radio and asking why the frick they are not telling me about LFC and instead listening to some boring drivel about some stupid shit like Quangos or some old lady who got the flu. While occasionally laughing myself silly cos of some post on this thread as I frantically try to keep up to date with whats going on as I try reading from my phone.
Until I get to the office, then its reading this thread trying not to laugh out loud but keeping up with whats going on.

It would be nice if there were a few people around the court in Liverpool shirts, just to show how far our support network extends.

Re: LFC not yet sold to NESV (but we're getting there, maybe...)
i was scared their tenure was going to be a horrible stain on the club's history. cos they fucked us up and could easily have walked away like other owners at other clubs.
seeing them get fucked right back makes it even though. as if everything is well with the world again.

More from the Texas court room;
Retweeted by JimBoardman .@imhoffjosh Cheers. Did he give any reasons for why he was going to wait until morning to come up with his decision?
imhoffjosh @lfcl4 @JimBoardman Under court rules, Hicks' side has 48 hours to respond on merits to motion to dissolve tro. Court shortented that.

Hick's lawyer would point to the presence of Liverpool shirts as more proof that Texas has jurisdiction. Coupled with the fact that the Red Sox play a few games a year in Texas, this might make their case airtight.

I have several LFC jerseys, a few Red Sox shirts and a hockey mask. Decisions, decisions...
Oh, and Foxy: I'm not averse to colourful language when it's warrented, mate. Might let a few choice words fly if we get the right reesult tomorrow...
