Mill are going to be the same as Hicks & Gillett. Fuck this.

So after all the optimism about NESV it seems Mill Financial look to be leading the race.

Right, I'm staying up for this.

12.29pm: "Hicks Dallas lawyer: "Anyone ignoring a restraining order in Texas does so at their peril"," tweets the Telegraph's Paul Kelso.

fuck were dealing with rednecks not red socks

*fist bump*

Mill Financial are just opportunistic douchebags a la Hicks & Gillett. We'll be in exactly the same boat with them.

1.01pm: "Are H&G not in contempt of court by going and getting the injunction in the US? Seems to me that Judge Floyd is going to give them a rocket this afternoon at the very least for not revealing that they were planning on taking action in the US." asks Mark Teuten via email.

GET IN THERE

If this goes through, we'll near end up worse then with Hicks and Gillett.

12.58pm: Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks remains in control of his share of the club and has not sold out to Mill Financial, Press Association Sport reports.

Reports this morning suggested the hedge fund, a branch of Washington-based Springfield Financial, had acquired the Texan's 50% share having already taken ownership of his fellow co-owner George Gillett's half.
However, a UK-based spokesman for Tom Hicks told Press Association Sport Mill Financial had not acquired Hicks' shares.

read into that what you will

To cut it short, the press have no idea if Hicks still has his shares:lol:

1.17pm: A spokesman for Tom Hicks has confirmed to my colleague Andy Hunter that the stake has NOT been sold to Mill Financial.

but would you trust anything Hicks says

i feel sorry for liverpool. the legacy of shankly is being destroyed.

these yanks are destroying it all and it seems like the guys to replace them are no better.

btw, wheres the updates from.

I know that most Man U fans feel our pain - but at least you have dirty, scummy Yanks that have put a few bob into the club.

so everybody's on the same page

theres something wrong with Dan Roan's twitter page so i wouldn't bother checking it for the time being.... ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND WE'RE BACK AT THE HIGH COURT WHERE LIVERPOOL FC PLAYS TEXAS

Should have sold to DIC 3 years ago.

Dan Roan back online:
Here we go again. Back in Court 18 as LFC begin fight against H&G's injunction. Update when a verdict. H&G's lawyers haven't turned up

pretty much

2.09pm: Back to court 18, QC Snowden speaking for RBS: "Proceedings in Texas are inappropriate. It involves an English football club and three English companies. It is intended to frustrate."

Snowden is RBS's QC

some sort of chatter or banter? something to keep me going till 3?

I am trying to keep track of this as well.
But is confuses me so much. :lol:

ask me anything that's confusing... i'm taking Imno's place tonight as mr know it all

2.14pm: QC Snowden speaking for RBS: "Judge made verdict in Texas on basis of no evidence and solely on what was told to him."

It is claimed that H&G tried at the Dallas injunction appeal to make sure that it could be contested in the High Court in London. But the Texas judge did not agree to that, Sachin texts from outside court 18.

isn't by doing this holding the British High Court in contempt

Well basically, I just don't know who is in the better position at the moment for the sale of Liverpool.
Or who are even bidding. What will happen etc etc.

Everything really.

Okay that is somewhat up in the air because i'm sure there are bidders who are still private bidders and aren't in media circles... BUT Lim/Meriton is still holding tight but he seems to be on the outer even though he is offering more cash, then there is Mill who owns half of Gillett's share after he defaulted on a loan who own the Washington Redskins, its really an unknown quantity could be alright but could be just the same as G&H... New England said last night before the injunction that the LFC Board and NESV have a binding agreement, he's 2/3 way through the fit and proper test with the PremierLeague and is expected to finish that soon...

RBS loans are due back tomorrow but will 'probably' hold out while there still involved with court proceedings as the injunction includes RBS... It's unknown what will happen really because you don't know what H&G will do, we thought that we had it done yesterday, this in all likely hood is a stop gap while they get something bigger organised, it could be the last case or the 2nd of a few... NESV look good because we SHOULD win these court cases (it also doesn't help them that H&G lawyers hasn't turned up to court as yet ;) )... stay confident because Broughton is confident, we've got a top QC and RBS is with us on this so i think we'll be okay, but it may take abit longer, but as MB says "Keep the Faith"

just got a reply from the bloke running the live blog on the guardian after i wrote an email thanking him and explaining whats been happening on here the last couple nights

Ok cool, that made things much clearer. Thanks bro. :D

WIN LIM... BIG NEWS, he's pulling out

2.32pm: "Just received statement from Peyer Lim - he is pulling out of bidding!" tweets BBC's Dan Roan.

although this maybe apart of the Hicks plan... he's like a really shit bond villain

Peter Lim "not able to proceed with intention to acquire club after "ignored" by board.

part of G&H plan... trying to make Broughton look negligent that he didn't look at every option, dodgey to the hilt

Lim was a plant by Hicks to attempt to discredit MB, RBS & the LFC board.
