Great idea. Send those two fookers down the pit in Chile, and a pile of concrete fast-set on top of them when the last of the miners are out....

Now let's focus on ensuring the new owners understand our requirements of a worthy owner. No intimidation just passion.

What it means that H&G dont get an automatic right of appeal, what they need to do is to apply to the Court of Appeal and request that the CoA allows them to appeal, i.e. its making an appeal more difficult for them (although not still ruling out the possibility of an appeal).

Refusing leave to appeal by the trial judge is where he feels that an appeal would be a waste of the court system's time and pointless.

Thanks that clear explanation mate. Looks good.

@John_W_Henry, You should know the role our former manager Rafa Benitez played in all this. Without him, there wouldn't be much left today.

Aren't the board still in a legally binding agreement to sell the club to NESV?

Martin Broughton has revealed that the Liverpool board will meet to discuss all bids for the club on Wednesday evening.

The Reds chairman was speaking as he left the High Court following a ruling which has paved the way for a takeover of the club to be put in place.

Current co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks had hoped to block a move for control at Anfield, with the offers on the table falling short of their valuation.

However, with the club's creditors, the Royal Bank of Scotland, looking to recoup a £237million loan by a deadline set for 15th October, Mr Justice Floyd has sided in favour of Liverpool and RBS.

Discussions with interested parties can now begin in earnest, with the Reds keen to get new owners in place as soon as possible, allowing them to clear their debts and focus their attention on matters on the field.

It was believed that a £300million bid from John W Henry's New England Sports Ventures was the preferred choice of the Liverpool board, with that offer having already been accepted.

However, a rival bid from Singapore billionaire Peter Lim has left the Reds facing a quandary.

Lim has promised £320m in cash and a £40m transfer kitty for the January transfer window.

Chairman Broughton has confirmed that there is no guarantee that NESV will be successful in their efforts, with the Liverpool board yet to sit down and discuss the latest developments.

I guess MB is obligated to review the bids again...most probably it will still go to NESV. I'll be disappointed if this was not the case.

Its very important that Broughton now demonstrates that the board will carefully study the Lim offer so if/when T&T counter sue stating they undersold the club and ignored the Lim bid they can show that was not the case. I hope they have a top lawyer present at the board meeting tonight to witness their actions, including the discussion of the Lim bid and will record in the minutes of the meeting the reasons for its rejection. It is vital to have a fully evidenced paper trail to show any appeal hearing or libel action that they did give due consideration to Lim and that once again T&T are grasping at straws.
