I think this is going to be really close and we might get the announcement of LFC going into administration some time today if RBS doesn't show some more patience.. I doubt everything could be wrapped up this fast.. judgement is expected mid-day today.. is that midday in the US or the UK?

Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have removed the restraining order preventing the club's sale to New England Sports Ventures.

However, the move is not designed to help NESV seal its ?300m deal, but to aid Hicks in his attempt to sell his stake to US hedge fund Mill Financial.

The club is hoping to tie up a deal with NESV on Friday, but Hicks believes he can still scupper its plan.

Mill could then pay off the ?237m debt owed to Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

NESV's deal was being held up by the restraining order, which was issued by a court in Texas. The court is set to resume its hearing at 1300 BST on Friday, when it is expected that the order will be officially lifted.

BBC Sport understands the overnight adjournment in proceedings in the US was to enable Hicks to have more time in his attempt to strike a deal with Mill Financial.

BBC Sports editor David Bond said: "The restraining order prevents any other buyer - such as Mill - from paying off the ?237m loan to Royal Bank of Scotland, due on Friday, because it binds RBS as well as the board of Liverpool and its parent companies based in the UK. "

Now it appears as though Mill - who already own co-owner George Gillett's stake in the club - and NESV are vying for control of the Anfield club, with Reds chairman Martin Broughton and managing director Christian Purslow both saying on Friday they are "confident" a deal with NESV will go through.

they give up...for now!

Liverpool's co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett accept defeat in their attempts to block the club's sale, but say they will pursue damages of ?1bn.

They removed the restraining order preventing the club's sale in a Dallas court on Friday, paving the way for the sale to New England Sports Ventures.

NESV, the board's choice as Liverpool's new owners, now look set to complete their ?300m purchase of the club.

It is rather disappointing however that the club's board don't appear to be considering the offer from Mr Lim.

because they probably don't want some dumbass billionaire who doesn't know **** (like hicks and gillette) promising a bunch of **** and never pulling through. Instead they have an experienced corp in terms of sports franchise wanting to take over the team who they probably have a lot more faith in. I don't really think the board memnber's concern at this point is money. RBS for sure, not the board, they need to recover the team and finding stability is the first step. As much as I would love to have chelski/man city money, rappy is right, it's completely ruining the game and just going on a spending binge like all the other top teams in Europe (who are all pretty much broke anyways) obviously isn't something they want to get themselves into.

New England Sports Ventures has completed its takeover of Liverpool Football Club, BBC Sport understands.

The move comes after former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett removed the temporary restraining order blocking any sale on Friday morning.

That allowed NESV, owners of the American baseball side Boston Red Sox, to complete its ?300m purchase.

Hicks and Gillett, however, have vowed to pursue ?1bn in damages from the club, arguing the deal is "illegal".

The American pair say they will "pursue every legal avenue" to claim damages for what they believe is an "extraordinary swindle".

Still, there was an air of relief as news of NESV's completed purchase emerged - a move that will allow major creditors Royal Bank of Scotland to be paid the ?237m they are owed on Friday.

That, in turn, means Liverpool's holding company are unlikely now to be put into administration, a move which could have resulted in a nine-point penalty in the Premier League.

Good news. I'm not a Liverpool fan (if anything I dislike them), but had Hicks etc been able to make a mockery of this, then it would have set a dangerous example for football IMO.

While we are here though, spare a thought for Dundee, who have sacked their manager, assistant manager and quite a lot of players after going into administration owing around £2m. Nothing compared to the figures talked about here.

Football is business nowadays, and if you don't hit your targets you go down the crapper. It's sad, but it's gonna keep happening.

business is an understatement, they are public run companies on the stock market, nothing like that happens over here. The thought of that is crazy.

I guess that just like a lot of small businesses that go bust, very few people bar the local proprietors actually care, sad but again inevitable. It's a shame what money has turned sport into these days.

EPIC SWINDLE :laugh:

I'm quite glad it is all over, although something tells me there will be a few more court dates from desperate Hicks.

It brings a huge sigh of relief that Hicks and Gillett have now gone. Hopefully we can now just concentrate on the footballing aspects - which is what 'football' is all about.

I have never wanted a billionaire owner in the Chelsea of Man City mould. I don't want to spend hundreds of millions of pounds on players in ONE summer. I'd much prefer to belong to a well run club that only spends what it generates - something which Man Utd did before the Glazers took over.

We should all be together in this, we should all be against modern football.

Still... part of me feels like the damage to Liverpool Football Club is too much, I don't feel like I really *belong* to the club anymore. Hopefully this feeling will return...

Is it because England's saviour has been **** since summer?

pretty much, but fergy going out lieing saying it's due to injury isn't helping the situation when clearly he is being sat because he's playing like **** right now.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
