Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

I can't see how Hicks & Gillett could block the NESV sale.

Even if the agreement with RBS had indeed been breached, and it seems they have adopted this as their main argument, then it is for RBS to enforce any rights accruing to it as a consequence of the breach, and not Hicks and Gillett.

I hope that once the referee has seen and dealt with the incident, it leaves them unable to appeal that decision

Lord Grabiner's now been speaking for an hour. That's another £3k LFC have just spent on legal fees.

This Dan lad is a bit of a bell end.

Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

NOt to sound pretentious since he's a vastly experienced solicitor...but he's doing a very good job; I've been a bit surprised by the tack Hicks has taken.

What kind of fucking comment is it anyway ? It's pointless. Journalist ? Ha.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

Hicks case has been all over the place mainly because he does not have one

Broughton had the right to act as he did.....Check

Broughton took the best deal on the table at the time......Check

Hicks was fully aware of and involved in the meetings or at least had the choice to...........check

taxi for Hicks

I think hicks' last roll of the dice is to argue this big a case can't be settled today and needs the high court.

One would hope that, big case or not, the facts that Vlad has run through above, mean that this case needs no more than a competant judge to be wrapped up sharpish...
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

3.48pm: Back to court: Lord Grabiner on the "home team" claim: He says it was the name of the conference line used by the board to listen to bids via telephone during meetings. Bidders had their own line and it was to make sure thaty they couldn't accidentally hear each other
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

3.43pm: While we wait for another court update, I'm being asked why Lord Grabiner is being allowed to speak for the board of the football club, given that this case is RBS v H&G. The short answer is that I don't know for certain and I will ask my colleagues when they come out of court. The slightly longer answer is that I suspect that the judge has decided that he cannot possibly rule on this without the input of the subject at the heart of the case. Whether this is a good sign for RBS/H&G/Liverpool is another of those million dollar questions...

Also, I am receiving a lot of emails and tweets from America. Thanks for those. There is clearly much interest among Red Sox fans/H&G doubters/Liverpudlians abroad/Scouse supporters etc etc. Thank you for all your messages. I'm sorry I'm having trouble responding to them all. Anyway, enough from me, you want to know what is going on in court....

that's a fair comment and one I'm surprised hicks' legal team haven't brought up yet

Anfield Road has learned that Tom Hicks counter-sued MB, CP, IA and RBS overnight. RBS therefore escalated their action today.
