Sky reporting that Hicks lawyer is on top and winning. Jeezees they really dislike us don't they.
As for the court case, I can't believe we have become a club that now is on a live newsfeed on the Guardian from a court case about a possible sale/takeover.
It's just unreal.

Looks like Lim and Meriton are the same person/bid. I was wong.
God knows what Mills Financial are doing there? Making the sandwiches for the judge, or directing the traffic cops for Heather?
Mill took over some of Gillet's debt/holding, I thought it was all , but that does not seem to be the case

However, you have to ask won't the twat reporting Hicks is on top look like an idiot if the court rules against H&G?
I'd say it is the reporter's genuine take on things, ill-informed or not.

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)
1.57pm: Paul Girolami QC, who is representing H&G, said his clients "were not trying to throw a spanner in the works" of the proposed sale deal. He argued there had been other offers for the club which potentially were better than the one from NESV. Opposing an immediate injunction, he said all the issues involved needed more time to determine and "should not be rushed into".
Girolami's conclusion: "What has happened is that the English directors have gone forward with the NESV bid without properly considering alternatives when those alternatives at least appear to give better prospects."
1.55pm: Email from Gerald Krasner, Partner at insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor and former Chairman of Leeds United FC (before selling to Ken Bates in 2005), offering his thoughts on Liverpool:
This is uncharted territory as Liverpool is a big club constituted in such an opaque way that it's going to be very hard to unravel. At the moment the situation is precariously poised with everyone looking round the table waiting for someone to blink. However, the devil is in the detail on this one as far as ownership is concerned and, with armies of lawyers on both sides, I think there is still a little way to go before Liverpool fans can concentrate on their team's struggles on the pitch rather than off it.

Naw, he can feign disbelief at an"shocking decision" & then claim the inevitable appeal backs up his original prognosis.

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)
Some quotes from RBS QC, Richard Snowden:
that the American owners now admitted "a calculated breach of contract" by seeking to change the constitution of the companies and the boards involved without the consent of the bank.
He said this was in order "to frustrate the sale necessary to repay the bank £200 million by this Friday".
The bank secured an injunction on Friday to prevent the Americans sacking independent chairman Martin Broughton or any other board members.
Timely
Mr Snowden said Hicks filed evidence that if RBS did not like what he was doing, then it could enforce its security rights.
"This would derail the carefully planned process designed to achieve a sale of the club in a timely manner."
He said that plan would not carry the risk of Liverpool losing the nine points deducted by the Premier League when a team goes into administration.
The judge was asked to impose injunctions on the owners requiring them to restore the original constitutions of the companies and managing directors.
This would remove the final stumbling block to a £300 million takeover by NESV, who own the Boston Red Sox and are fronted by John W Henry, which will see the RBS recoup its original £237million loan to Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett when they bought the club in March 2007.
Mr Snowden said evidence filed to the court showed "breathtaking arrogance on the part of Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett".
