Mills Financial owns Gilletts share because of his debt default. My basic understanding is that the Board have to approve the sale of any shares therefore its unlikely that they could assume of Hicks shares unless he was indebted to them and his Liverpool shares were put up as collateral.
I'll wait for Broughton and Co. to get things done and issue a statement before believing anything in the print media.

How dare you take such a pragmatic balanced view of things. It's just not right

Sunny, without a pragmatic view I would have had a massive stroke by now. The plight of our beloved club is quite sickening and its hard to stomach that we fell so far off our perch. We have been shaken to our very foundations by G&H who seem intent on destroying us. Our current on-field shambles almost mirrors the off-field drama. It feels like we're down and still getting kicked in the teeth.
Broughton and the Board have delivered us a significant legal victory which will lead to bigger and better things. However, we have to fight tooth and nail to secure this future.
Mills Financial may be manouvering behind the scenes and may well have bought Hicks' shares in the group/parent company (Kop Football LLP - a US (Delaware) company) which could be a determining factor in the issuance of the TRO in terms of jurisdiction. However, I do believe that the Board have been thorough in their undertakings and covered all angles. Broughton's confidence is keeping me calm. He is business savvy. Henry and NESV seem intent on riding out the storm until resolution and he believes that they have a legally binding agreement with the Board on the sale. Hicks is posturing for a better price. I hope he walks away empty handed.
Ownership Structure:
Liverpool (LAFC), which owes RBS £97m < Kop Holdings Ltd which owes RBS £200m < Kop Football Holdings Ltd, which owns the assets of all of the above < Kop Football Cayman Ltd, presumably registered in the Cayman Islands < Kop Football LLP, a US (Delaware) company owned by Hicks and Gillett.
