If this deal is as good as it looks then the club will be in good hands so what will SOS do then ? I'm sorry but I don't think the fans will ever own the club or ever have representation on the board . I got that bit of statement from a another forum , a lot of people on that forum were praising SOS for their work and were thinking of joining then as soon as the statement was posted people just turned away . We don't want to scare people away .

I posted my doubts in the SOS thread at the time. But now, its looking more likely that the work, regarding H & G is done, however it doesn't have to be the end for the SOS. Issues like Hillsborough can now be the focus for justice for the 96. Like you say a good deal of work has been done, I think its the thought of disbanding or suspending the union that is isolating people who have put so much effort into it.

That's what I mean that they should look to join other groups to see what sort of work for the fans they can do - joining with the justice campaign would be great

come on a bit of respect to SOS. If it was never formed we would be f.ucked by now. Just goes to show what people can do when they unite. And in general if people done this more people like hicks and Gillet would,nt get away with things they do. Ie politicans bankers etc. SOS i salute you. As for hicks and co. You think you are JR in Dallas.HELLO WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. Hope you lose everything YOU GREEDY T.WATS

:laugh:  its been that sort of day hasn't it? I have had 4 hours sleep and got laid halfway through that ! (however I had to point out that she chose the time when I WAS ASLEEP rather than that lazy tw@t)

I have just had a bounce in my step since I heard the news.

The court hearing is on Friday from what I gather.

The sale of England’s most successful soccer team to John W. Henry’s Boston Red Sox holding company is unlawful because the board wasn’t authorized to approve the sale of Liverpool Football Club, according to co-owner Tom Hicks.

Hicks and partner George Gillett are trying to block the 300 million-pound ($476.4 million) sale, arguing that they should’ve been able to institute boardroom changes that would’ve allowed the offer to be rejected. Both feel the club is worth more, with the current deal leaving them with a loss of 140 million pounds, Liverpool Chairman Martin Broughton said.

Broughton said in an interview with Bloomberg today he had a written agreement with the owners prior to joining the team in April that only he would be allowed to change the composition of the board. Broughton blocked the Liverpool owners’ attempts yesterday to fire Commercial Director Ian Ayre and Managing Director Christian Purslow.

“There were no such undertakings given to Broughton, the board has been legally reconstituted, and the new board does not approve of this proposed transaction,” Hicks’s New York-based spokesman Mark Semer said in a statement to Bloomberg News.

The matter is now heading for the courts with Hicks and Gillett arguing that Purslow and Ayre shouldn’t have voted on the deal because they had been replaced by Mack Hicks and Lori Kay McCutcheon, who is vice president at Hicks Holdings LLC.

“They agreed to give me a written undertaking that I was the only person who could change the board,” Broughton said. “They gave me a written undertaking that the sale would take place at the U.K. holding company, of which the board would be five. It would be the board that could sell and I had the casting vote.”

With a deadline for Hicks and Gillett to repay a 237 million-pound debt with Royal Bank of Scotland Plc days away, Broughton called a board meeting to discuss two “excellent bids,” before Henry’s group was chosen ahead of a Singaporean billionaire.
