LFC SOLD to NESV.

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

okay, so if it was purely the case of illegally changing the board why were other items brought up not specifically related to that?

That video reeks of pazazz.
[/quote]

Of course it does... Its a nice, shiney political campaign add.

And everything they say in it is true.

These people know about taking over a sleeping giant with a glorious history and unbreakable ties within the local community (as well as an enormous global appeal), making promises to a skeptical public and KEEPING them, and restoring the team to it's former and expected place, without selling it's soul to do so.

Again, IF they handle us like they handled my American "us", we'll all be delighted with the results in a couple of years.

I found the video compelling. I've joined the army as well.

Just because it's glitzy and all-American doesn't mean it's lies, Ali. Every word they say in that video is true.

for the record I have no problem with owners that build up the franchise and THEN milk it.

I was only joking.

It's the most favourable representation of the truth, as it should be.

I'll be quite happy if they take over, you don't have to sell me on that. I just want it to happen.

Agreed. This could be ideal for us in a year or two...

The similarities between not just the clubs but also the two cities and their people are many.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

it's worth noting;

john henry - voted 2nd best owner

tom hicks - voted 2nd worst (I'd hate to see who was voted 'THE' worst. YIKES!!)

John Henry has started using his Twitter account a bit more in the last two days. He just tweeted this...

It does at least show that the attempt by H and G's lawyers to persuade the judge that there was no need for a quick outcome has failed. However, I'd be wary of reading more into it than that at this stage.

No need to be, mate. I still reckon the odds are in our favour.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

Well if nothing else, this has been far more engrossing than any of our games this season. Can we put together a legal team with Grabiner as captain and watch them at weekends instead?

Hahaha. That's strangely true - I found todays events fascinating. I'm thinking of getting a few back episodes of LA Law now...
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

Did anyone else see the fist pump Lord Grabiner did at the Liverpool fans when walked out of the court room? What a man!! Legend!

No, heard about it though. Great if we win, a bit foolish if we dont.

True. Still, found it pretty funny though. He must be confident.

Yea, but if we do win I like to think that he will do the old double knee slide right on front of the LFC supporters outside the courts.
 
Re: LFC Sold to NESV (New England Sports Ventures)

It doesn't seem the hardest case to make.

"You were in breach of your contract when you reconstituted the board"
"Yep, sure were... "
"oh. Well then. Do you have anything to say for yourselves?"
"Well... uh, things just got crazy busy here. I mean, we've been swammmped. Then we lost your phone number for a while, and then, um, our internet was down, for a week, so we didn't really know what was going on. And, you know, there's no real reason to rush"

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

Grabiner has been around the courts for a while to say the least. I'm guessing he knows from all his years of experience when a case has gone well or not. Dealing with this on a daily basis and all.
If he's confident, then I'm pretty confident aswell.

I've noted that you're going on the record again, Neil, and I've duly notified 6CM's stenographer.

Might be, but I suspect not.

If he really thought that he'd have probably announced that today.

I hope so anyway.
