Redguard

Thanks Virgil, good write up there btw. Some free video links from the club ....... http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/one-dramatic-day-8-videos

I used to play No 5 lock, forward - second row; the powerhouse. One of my mates was captain of rugby for Ireland youth team. Great game, so is Rugby League - fast, hard hitting and virtually no protective gear.

Judge Floyd in British High Court ......... 5.21pm: Judge rules that anti-suit injunction wanted by RBS and other parties (board) against owners action in Texas is granted. "This case has nothing to do with Texas."

That's very apt about Shanks & Everton, in his latter years he was quite at home there. Another great was Dixie Dean who played for Everton. Sadly Dixie died on 1st March 1980 at Goodison, watching Everton V Liverpool. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Dixie_Dean.jpg Bit of a classic old pose, but as some of the Everton lads remark - he looks like he's lost his roll of carpet. Lol.

Hello Virgil. I spoke to Bill Shankly on a few occasions and Billy Liddel, although I was too young to see either of them play. They were both gentlemen and an absolute credit to the game. I was taken somewhat aback when Billy Liddel died as I thought he had a bit more time left - basically I suppose we all do. Albert Stubbins, great player. Was featured in the cover of Sgt Peppers... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Pepper%27s.jpg

Just a quick message for you Red Sox lads. There is a great deal of anticipation but mostly a very warm hope and desire that our LFC can soon be united with the Red Sox Nation. We have a growing faith in John Henry combined with a mutual trust generated through a common purpose. The events of the last week have obviously desended on yourselves quite unexpectantly. We are just common lads from a foreign land - so please bear with us while this unfortunate saga is dealt with. Thanks.

12.36am: Ok, so here's a brief summary of today's events: • This morning a high court ruled against Tom Hicks and George Gillett's attempt to block the sale of Liverpool FC by RBS to NESV. • The judge told Hicks and Gillett it would be inappropriate to appeal against his decision. • Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayres attempted to press home the NESV deal. • At the same time Singapore businessman Peter Lim maintained his interest in purchasing the club. • A board meeting to ratify the sale of Liverpool to NESV was held at Slaughter and May's offices in London at 8pm. Just before the meeting NESV's John W Henry turned up out of the blue at the meeting, supposedly indicating the deal was a mere formality. • Then we waited a bit. • And then a Texas court granted Tom Hicks and George Gillett's appeal for an injunction to be placed on the sale of Liverpool FC to NESV. • The pair also revealed they are claiming damages of $1.6bn against the three Liverpool board members, RBS and NESV. • Liverpool later released a statement calling the TRO "unwarranted" and "damaging", and intend to get it removed as quickly as possible. They still hope to conclude the deal with NESV.

I don't know why NESV was included in the TRO. It just seems like sour grapes from someone who can't accept that there are others in this world who try to do the decent thing and they (G&H) are just abusing the system. Moving on; this is just a temporary set-back, annoying, but justice will prevail.

NESV also named on The Temporary Restraining Order...... http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Clubs/Club_Home/2010/9/17/1284753717927/Tom-Hicks-and-his-son-006.jpg

Yes, looks like J Henry is on the ball.......... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_6443618,00.html

Cheers mate, Just waiting for the dust to settle, they'll be getting blitzed on the town tonight, me too. Big game at the weekend. Loads of lads boycotted everything since G&H came to LFC, but that's all about to change. Just waiting for John Henry to flesh out the details and join the dots. The shackles are off and hopefully we'll get back in the groove - winning trophies.

10.54am: Judge throws out attempt by owners to have interim injunction put on board. 10.50am: The injunction means the board is reconstituted with Purslow and Ayre back in place and Broughton allowed to see through the sale, reports Sachin Nakrani 10.49am: Mr Justice Floyd: "The owners do not have an absolute right to veto a sale." 10.43am: Judge rules against H&G, which means NESV deal can proceed. We will try and flesh out the details and ramifications... 10.42am: JUDGE RULES MANDATORY INJUNCTION WANTED BY RBS AGAINST OWNERS IS GRANTED: SALE CAN GO AHEAD Here's looking to the future with The Red Sox.

Brilliant news lads ........... 10.43am: Judge rules against H&G, which means NESV deal can proceed. We will try and flesh out the details and ramifications... 10.42am: JUDGE RULES MANDATORY INJUNCTION WANTED BY RBS AGAINST OWNERS IS GRANTED: SALE CAN GO AHEAD Come on you Red Sox

Right, court decision soon maybe. Can get the updates here............. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport

3.08pm: In Hicks's letter/witness statement to the court he writes that during telephone meeting the board had at the start of last week (the one which broke down at adjournment), Hicks Jr was involved. Lord Grabiner questions why this happened as "Hicks Minor" is not on the board. I think that at this juncture they should enlighten the learned Judge exactly as to why T Hicks Jnr was removed from the board.

Good write-up there Sunny. Dojji & Virgil - I'd love it if LFC could take on a team at Fenway Park. LfcKev ..... also on here mate ..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/oct/12/liverpool-fc-rbs-hicks-gillett-john-w-henry

Broughton was quite mindful of NESV in relation to the impending Uefa regs. This article may be of interest to you..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/oct/08/martin-broughton-liverpool-takeover-bid

Oh, hello mate, fancy you turning up here.

That's a very good question mate. Not knowing the ins & outs myself, however I'm fairly confident, (going by what Broughton & Purslow said recently). Also by recent interviewing with so called 'financial experts' by SSN - G&H chances look very slim. There again - he did qualify it by saying that no-one really knows how it will transpire when these matters do go to court.

NESV has no intention of losing Liverpool to Lim........... http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=831450&sec=england&cc=5739 ESPNsoccernet can disclose New England Sports Ventures (NESV) has a watertight contract to purchase Liverpool and has no intention of relinquishing that right despite a late attempt from Singapore businessman Peter Lim to launch a rival takeover bid.
