If NESV are offering £300m is that £237m to cover loan plus £63m? If so where does the £63m go? G&H?

Whats to stop someone coming in now and saying "ok we offer £237m (which keeps RBS happy) and thats it. The rest we'll pump into the club stadium and players".

It goes to stadium start up costs and to working capital.

There will be some debt left (probably money due on transfers and what not).

H&G get NOTHING. Rumour has it they have lost over 140million of their own money.

My mate just texted me this... MB - He needs legendary 'Liverpool' status. He needs knighting then putting high up on the list of Liverpool Legends, up there with John Lennon, Cilla Black and Stan Boardman :laugh:

The board have the power to pick the right owner. And they believe they have. The right owner is more important than financial costs etc

How are they losing their own money? Didnt they use loans for all their "spending" here? And NESV are paying RBS back.

I dont get all this

11.56am: Lord Grabiner QC, who represented the board, put the costs of the case at between £250,000 and £500,000.

11.55am: There were chaotic scenes outside the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, reports PA, when more than 100 Liverpool fans mobbed club chairman Martin Broughton, singing: "We love you, Martin, we do."

Security guards tried and failed to move the crowd blocking the entrance as they broke into You'll Never Walk Alone.

11.51am: More from the chairman: Broughton described himself as "elated" with the result but stopped short of saying that the club will definitely be sold to John Henry's New England Sports Ventures, reports the Press Association.

He told Sky Sports News:

I am absolutely elated, it's a very important day for our club. This will clear the way for the sale, we will have a board meeting this evening and proceed with the sale. It has been an anxious time but we have been confident. But when you go to court you can never be sure.

Regarding the sale to NESV, Broughton added:

Martin Broughton Photograph: John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images The board has to be reconstituted and I can't prejudge what the board is going to say. It would be inappropriate to prejudge what the board may say. I want to thank the fans for their support through a difficult time. We hope to have the board meeting this evening. We will get the right owners for the fans. It was an excellent outcome and I will be very pleased when the process we came in to do is completed.

This is taken from the live feed on Guardian, my feeling is that MB can't say the selling will be to NESV only due to technical reasons. It WILL be NESV.

12.01pm: An appeal is not being ruled out yet by Hicks and Gillett, says Keith Oliver, a senior partner with solicitors Peters & Peters, who are acting for the Liverpool owners.

Mr Oliver said:

We are obviously disappointed with the judge's decision. Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett will now be considering their next steps, and that will include whether to make an application to the court of appeal.
