your making me nervous imno, your getting too confident

I didn't even know what was happening till a little while ago :lol:

danroan
seems lfc have until nov 1 to do deal with nesv - if rbs decide not to put club into admin'ion - judge says resolution this week "ambitious"

That's a shame.

I didn't even know what was happening till a little while ago :lol:

G is systematically destroying every argument that H&G made.

Again, not holding breath on a verdict tonight, but it's good to see.

does this mean i can go to bed now and we can all come back tomorrow night?

Not for another halfa I don't think :p

:( COME ON JUST FUCK THEM OFF ALREADY

Dan Roan also said we'd have a verdict three hours ago.

4.04pm: Judge says it would be a "little ambitious" for the case to be settled by Friday. (In reply to Broughton's QC saying board would desperately like a verdict by then).

Dan Roan knows fuck all and doesn't update his twitter account enough... so much for BBC efficiency

saw a great comment on the guardian "can you get replica shirts with the barristers name on"

heart sinks a little deeper

So, looks like this is going to continue into next week!

see you again tomorrow night then... im going to bed now that there won't be anything imminent tonight, and with only 15mins of court time remaining... this is going to kill me if i have to do this for a week, 1 night was emotionally draining enough

Chin up! We're not going into Admin unles we lose the case. And we wont. Keep the faith, words of MB

danroan

true complexity of this case now clear - 5 qc's have now spoken - for rbs, h&g, lfc, Broughton, and nesv

Get In There Lads

new england have people there.... fuck i want a QC too

Allo Allo

4.25pm: QC for RBS says bank has been willing to wave "tens of millions of pounds in fees" to see a sale go through. Also dismisses G&H claim that there is no actual 15 October deadline with the Bank as part of their "game".

4.27pm: RBS QC: "RBS is a lender that deserves to be repaid £200m on Friday. It is wrong of Hicks and Gillett to try and delay that process."

Damn right. Lets force this ******** sale through

I make that to be full-time gentlemen. I think we'll be back tomorrow?

I thought this was interesting.

4.30pm: While we wait for the next update from court, what does it mean if the court doesn't make its decision today, or indeed, this week (as seems distinctly possible given Mr Justice Floyd's recent comment)? Reuters says this:

"If the Oct. 15 deadline for a refinancing of Liverpool's debt is missed, lawyers believe RBS could take control of the club and conduct the sale itself.
That could result in the holding company of the five-times European champions briefly being put into administration, which would result in the points deduction under Premier League rules. "

I'm finding all this speculation tedius and draining. We've been sitting here for five hours and we know nothing more than we did five hours ago.

4.34pm: Our reporter on the spot, Sachin Nakrani summarises from court:

RBS says owners have contradicted rules of sales agreement by trying to oust two members of the board and there should be a mandatory injunction imposed by the court to make sure the board is reinstated.

G&H admit they have breached sales agreement but say they only did it because the board excluded them from the sales agreement and refused to take into account stronger alternative bids to NESV. As a result, they dispute the injunction claim.

The Board disputes the claim that the owners were excluded from the sales agreement and says that instead the owners simply refused to take part. It also insists the NESV bid was the strongest on the table after a thorough process to find a buyer for the club.

Grain of salt.

I'm off to bed. Feeling confident this will be resolved. Administration doesn't help anybody, very doubtful it will happen.

danroan

judgement will be at 10.30am tomorrow.

Suuure it will :P I'll be here anyway!

Doubt it. Don't believe that for a second.

E you should start believing it because news of a 10:30 verdict is gathering weight and that looks to be the go at the moment.

BBC sat verdict tonight.. but judge says next week, i don't think anybody in the press knows whats going on
