LIVERPOOL OWNERS MOVE TO BLOCK SALE
Posted 13/10/10 22:49
mayonaise sauce!!
Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett claim they have won a temporary restraining order from the Texas State District Court preventing the sale of the club and are now seeking 1.6billion US Dollars in damages.
The American businessmen, whose ownership of the club was thought to be approaching its end on Wednesday night as the Liverpool board met at the offices of a London legal firm with prospective new owner John Henry in attendance, have also claimed they are the victims of an "epic swindle".
Henry travelled to the offices of Slaughter and May and, when asked what it was like to nearly own the Reds, gave reporters a thumbs-up gesture.
But the saga took a further twist when a statement posted on the American duo's behalf by international law firm Fish & Richardson revealed the restraining order and counter-claim.
The day had started well for Liverpool fans - and board members - eager to hasten the departure of Hicks and Gillett when they suffered an overwhelming defeat in the High Court.
The pair had attempted to oust managing director Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre from the Reds' board in a bid to prevent the sale to Henry's New England Sports Ventures, but creditors the Royal Bank of Scotland and Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton argued they did not have the power to do so and won a resounding victory on Wednesday afternoon.
That ruling, passed down by Mr Justice Floyd, appeared to be the end of the road for Hicks and Gillett and the subsequent board meeting was predicted to end with a completed sale.
Instead though, the legal machine was in motion on the other side of the Atlantic, with Fish & Richardson later claiming Judge Jim Jordan of the 160th District Court in Dallas had signed the TRO request.
Their release also read: "The lawsuit also seeks temporary and permanent injunctions, and damages totalling approximately1.6billion (over £1billion)."

Liverpool takeover: Peter Lim may sue club over bidding process
Singaporean billionaire Peter Lim, who on Tuesday submitted an improved, £320 million offer to buy Liverpool, could yet sue the club over the initial sales process which resulted in the Anfield board rejecting his bid in favour of New England Sports Ventures.
His advisers, the Wong Partnership, on Tuesday submitted a letter to the High Court detailing Lim's "surprise" at learning NESV had come to an agreement with Liverpool's three non-shareholder directors less than 12 hours after he was informed his offer was "preferred and superior".
Paul Girolami QC, for Tom Hicks and others, revealed Lim had taken legal advice on the decisions taken by the club's directors between 3pm on Oct 5 when Lim was informed he remained the preferred bidder and when the agreement with NESV was struck.
He has also submitted a request to discover whether the terms of his offer, which sources close to the billionaire believe was financially more attractive until NESV improved its own bid by promising to pay £10 million to the Royal Bank of Scotland in fees, were revealed to his rivals, breaching his confidentiality clause.
Despite that, on Tuesday Lim improved his original bid, believed to be worth the £300 million NESV wishes to pay, to £320 million, plus £40 million for manager Roy Hodgson to spend in the January transfer window.
Lim's offer, through his Meriton vehicle, would wipe Liverpool clear of debt and is funded entirely from the former stockbroker's own $1.6 billion (£1 billion) fortune.
He said in a statement: "My offer pays off the existing owners' bank acquisition debt and also frees the club of its own bank debt. If the board accepts this offer, the monies are available immediately, thereby removing the threat of administration."
Lim accepts he remains an outsider to land the club his bid would be considered only if NESV walk away or Liverpool go into administration but he is determined to push ahead with a deal.
Though his background running Manchester United-themed cafés in the Far East is unlikely to impress Liverpool fans, it is thought, should he land the club, he would pull out of that deal when his contract expires in 2012.

i prefer the NESV, as they seem to have more sexperience in managing a big sporting club as opposed to lim's millions.
being fellow sporean and billionaire cuts no ice. :bsmilie:

I think the directors made a right choice in sticking with NESV.

Come'on. The deal is also not just about money. It about the capabilities to run the club!
Peter sh1t is just a man u fan in disguise. H&G... enough has been said.

KNN, everyone wants a piece of LFC, all think LFC is golden goose, everyone wanna sue for money
H&G wanna sue for damages? USD1.6 billion? KNN, every LFC fan should sue them for damages and health.
This Peter Lim, talk only, agreement reached liao, case at court then come say offer 20million more... should have show hand if seriously sincere in the beginning. I think it is bloody cheap PR stunt.
SHOW US THE MONEY!
Liverpool FC statement
Following the successful conclusion of High Court proceedings today, the Boards of Directors of Kop Football and Kop Holdings met tonight and resolved to complete the sale of Liverpool FC to New England Sports Ventures.
Regretably, Thomas Hicks and George Gillett have tonight obtained a Temporary Restraining Order from a Texas District Court against the independent directors, Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and NESV to prevent the transaction being completed.
The independent directors consider the restraining order to be unwarranted and damaging and will move as swiftly as possible to seek to have it removed.
A further statement will be made in due course.

So now what, the clowns managed to block the sale from an US Court?
