Hah, brave front from Hicks. If he has plans to sue, he had better hope they have good legal aid in Dallas. Not sure if his attorneys are going to act pro bono for him, cos my understanding from the papers is that he's a bankrupt.
[/quote]
Isn't he likely to have a personal bankroll stashed away somewhere, not vulnerable to business creditors?
[/quote]
true that, i got carried away with glee at the prospect of Hicks having to slum it out. Damn.

I can see some hillbilly incestuous court finding in Hicks' favour.
What a fair offer is was always going to be subjective, so if Hicks is leaning on a judge saying that he didn't think that 300m was enough, and that he could pay the debt off by the 15th, he will win damages.
[/quote]
The burden of proof on him in that respect will be considerable, not least in the light of those comments about gamesmanship etc.from the Texas court today.

Does anyone have a full transcript of what HIcks has said since losing?

Hicks and Gillett withdraw TRO blocking sale of Liverpool Football Club. Action prevents RBS from needlessly putting Club into administration. RBS rejected owners' pledge to pay off all debts by October 15. Attorneys say ludicrous, self-serving and illegal behavior from directors and outsiders to hinder Club for years.
"It's an extraordinary swindle and it will result in exactly the wrong thing for the Club and the fans."
Those were the words used by attorneys representing Liverpool Football Club owners this morning when they announced they would apply all of their legal energies toward securing at least $1.6 billion in damages they expect will result from the proposed illegal sale of the Liverpool Football Club.
Attorneys also stated that protracted litigation concerning the Liverpool transaction will now cause even more uncertainty for the LFC.
"This outcome not only devalues the Club but it also will result in long-term uncertainty for the fans, players and everyone who loves this sport because all legal recourses will be pursued," said Steve Stodghill, the Texas attorney representing the Liverpool owners. "Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett pledged to pay the debt to RBS so that the Club could avoid administration that was threatened by RBS. That offer was rejected. It is a tragic development that others will claim as a victory. This means it won't be resolved the way it should be resolved. My clients worked tirelessly to resolve these issues but RBS would not listen to any reasonable solution and the Directors acted selfishly and illegally."
Stodghill said the owners have no choice but to pursue every legal avenue possible, and they will.
"Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett wanted to position this club for the future, but others have a different agenda," said Stodghill. "In truth, there is nothing positive from these events for Liverpool Football. That is exactly the opposite of what my clients wanted to achieve. "
[/quote]
There's nothing positive for LFC ? Really ? Oh no ? I'd worried if it hadn't come from a team of such unbelievable and duplicitous FUCKING LIARS.
You lost Tom, now FUCK OFF.
BTW - can they legally pursue this in the US after Justice Floyds comments about this having "nothing to do with Texas" ??

Re: LFC SOLD to NESV! (We know this as the fat man's been stung)
What a pair of cunts. Seriously, if it's been proven court that they've acted underhanded in blocking the sale and the judge has seen no reason for them to have a case, how can they pursue any damages based on us acting illegally if it's already been proven otherwise???

Update 7:58 a.m.: The judge has ordered: the TRO has been dissolved, per both parties wishes, and the motion for contempt has been withdrawn. The judge summed up the proceedings thusly: "It's been an interesting two days." To say the least. I'll have more quotes forthcoming, but essentially, says George Bramlet, "Hicks and Gillett have demonstrated record of gamesmanship in these proceedings and those in England." Hicks's attorney has reiterated that there has been no sale to Mills Financial.

They can sue for whatever they like. The real question is what chance of success they'd have, which IMO is open to considerable doubt.

Noted, but the argument he puts forward has already been successful once (with a judge who owes his position to Hicks, no less).

Ah sorry crump - didnt read it properly - its getting messy out there - apparently NESV want the deal with RBS to now include warranties to the effect that the liabilities will not be on their (nesv's) head should hicks successfully sue.

Hicks has *a* case, but he still has the job of proving that case and I think the odds are as much against him as they were over here.

I'm only messing - but I do believe Hick's has a case
The sale hinged on the subjective issue of the value of the club.

Yeah, yeah whatever.
What do you think Vlad?

Well I hope it becomes RBS' problem, with all due respect to them, because we don't need another big black cloud of uncertainty hanging over us, preventing us from being able to spend anything significant.
