Judge Justice Floyd dismisses attempt by owners to have interim injunction put on the Liverpool board.

NESV request declaratory judgement to prevent Hicks and Gillett from getting involved in sale, with potential trial set for Thurs 23 Oct.

Broughton wants a board meeting by 8pm today to sort out the sale and there is a dispute over whether the owners will be able to communicate via phone. The owners' QC is asking for the meeting to take place at ten o'clock tomorrow. Judge rules that it should be at 8 today.

Guardian live feed:

Mr Justice Floyd has declined to grant an appeal. The judge said it would be inappropriate in the circumstances for him to grant leave. He said that if Hicks and Gillett are determined to appeal, they would have to apply to the appeal court for permission.


Talk about trying to nail that coffin shut! Judge is making any further procedings very difficult.

So it looks like today the Board and Lawyers have earned more points for the club this season than the team on the pitch.

is it still possible they can lose 9 points.

no....

Has Maggie Thatcher died?? Only ask because I turned the tv on and the news was showing miners and scousers celebrating

Ffs. Hicks and Gillete have gone and got an injunction from a Texas court....brakes are back on!

They've also claimed damaged of 1billion pounds. The us judge has closed his facebook page and the court has taken it's phone off the hook.

Id go for chinese bloke. 40million to spend nxt transfer time.

Being an Evertonian i should be jumping for joy at whats going on at Liverpool, but I'm not, i like to look at the bigger picture, whats all this doing for the game and what effects it will have on the area, peoples jobs etc. Not being a financial or legal expert of any description, it seems to me all this malarkey is purely down to saving Liverpool 9 points. If the bank have a deadline day for retrieving their money and in effect becoming the new owners of Liverpool, why not wait until that day and then sell it on, i know it can't be as simple as that and yet they do it with properties all the time, repossess and retrieve their money by selling the property. We as supporters can be fickle at times, Liverpool and their current owners are victims of whats happened globally recently and in my eyes are taking the brunt for whats happening on the field, if things had been going well and the team were winning titles and cups H&G would have been the greatest thing since sliced bread. The problem has been on the field and having a crap manager who wasted millions after millions on bad players, money provided to him by the owners. I have no sympathy for the current owners, thats the chance anyone takes when they make investments, hard luck if it goes belly up, i do think they are getting stitched up and i dare say it will all come out eventually, is all this just to save 9 points, a team like Liverpool even with their current players should be able to make that up.

hahahahahahahaha all this is to save us 9 points lmao!! ye right.
