Either way RBS are going to win, sure they might be in the wrong for the way they've gone about selling it. ?But RBS are only doing it to recoup the money. ?Even if the case goes on longer then RBS can still call in the debt if they want to.

Frankly at this moment I believe having Hermann Goering in charge would be a welcome step up from Hicks and Gillett. As long as this situation is resolved with the minimal amount of damage to the club, and we get new ownership, I am not overly fussed who ends up in ownership.

I like the idea but dont like the idea of a team having unlimited resources it ruins football :unsure:

Likewise, but as the saying goes, if you can't beat em join em

Chelsea started it, Man City continued it. And unless the league do something to clamp down on it, it will continue.

Yeah Chelsea did it at first then kinda slowed down when they realised buying players for ?30m didn't always work...and they kept the goodens and bought wisely...but City its working at the moment...until January when Mancini buys more strikers for ?40m :sleep:

Legislation, wage caps, spending caps vs actual income must be enforced, because the Man City & Chelseas of English football totally undermines the competition imo.

Yes I am a bitter Portsmouth supporter, but our troubles started when our owners saw no other option but to overspend in order to achieve anything in that league.

A normal business, if run like some football clubs are right now, would be folded/liquidated in minutes.

I absolutely agree. The problem is, the premier league as it is makes too much money, and that is kind of stifling the charge for reform. In the end I fear we are going to end up with a league similar to Scotland, where if you don't support one or 2 teams, you are in for a pretty boring ride. Like a lot of sports, professional football in this country has had it's soul destroyed by money.

cockblocked again..

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.

It's sad and laughable really that Hicks and Gillett are moaning about their personal investments. Well I have news for them, when you take a risk like that, you have no legal right to expect compensation for that unless it's something you specifically write into your contract with the party that lends you the money. They owe RBS the money, and RBS have every legal right to recover their losses. They aren't really going to win this one, so I don't know why they are fighting it, and it's equally troubling to see American courts poking their noses into things that are outside of their jurisdiction and frankly none of their business. To be blunt, I personally wish they would just GTFO of our sport, the fact that both Liverpool and Man United's fans despise their owners speaks volumes in my opinion.

Liverpool Football Club have tonight issued a statement following today's court hearing in London:

The independent Directors of Liverpool Football Club are delighted with the verdict of Mr Justice Floyd in the High Court this afternoon which now requires Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett to withdraw their Texas restraining order by 4pm tomorrow.

We are glad to have taken another important step towards completing the sale process.

so if you cockblock the cockblock does that mean they are crossing swords?

:laugh: :laugh:

International breaks have rarely been so fun.

this is going to drag on for a while, because right now you have one country's legal system blocking another then that one who is getting blocked is then blocking the original blockers...

make sense?

i say take it up with the UN!

Liverpool and the prospective new owners will have to wait until Friday to see an end to the battle with George Gillett and Tom Hicks after the court in Texas was adjourned on Thursday.

Gillett and Hicks obtained a temporary restraining order against Liverpool's prospective sale to New England Spots Ventures (NESV) on Wednesday in Dallas, just hours after the High Court in London ruled the deal was legal.

On Thursday the High Court again ruled in Liverpool's favour, condemning Hicks and Gillett's attempts to prevent the sale.

Indeed the American owners of Liverpool were given until Friday 4pm to comply with their new orders and to withdraw their action in Texas.

Liverpool are now battling against the restraining order obtained by Hicks and Gillett in Dallas, and have hired lawyers in Texas to combat the restraining order, which appears to be the final hurdle the club need to overcome in order to progress finalise the sale.

Details of Hicks and Gillett's motion were also revealed, which asked the Dallas judge to jail and fine club chairman Martin Broughton and other defendants in the case.

In the motion for contempt filed in Dallas, lawyers for Hicks and Gillett said: "Further showing their unlawful intentions and brazen disregard for their obligations, defendants have undisputedly and according to their statements, quite proudly, violated this court's temporary restraining order."

The motion also requested a daily fine of $50,000 be imposed until the contempt of court

Lawyers for the club and their prospective new owners NESV filed a motion of their own asking for the restraining order to be thrown out on Friday as that is the deadline set by the club's financiers Royal Bank of Scotland for repayment of their ?280million debt.

An official for the 160th Civil District Court in Dallas, which issued a temporary restraining order in the matter on Wednesday, said the hearing had been adjourned after about 90 minutes and would resume at 7am local time (1pm BST).

This is really starting to get horribly stupid now. Hicks and Gillett are clinging on when the chances are they know full well they will lose, and the texan courts seem to be just interfering for the sake of it. Again, I repeat GTFO of our game.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
