Hicks/Mill deal has failed - although he will now sue for $1.6bn in damages.

yep and in american court they will win that.

but on the good side we will be sold in the next 30min, RBS set to take payment right now to pay off the loan......no 9 points

Not in a million years if they are suing because it was an illigal sale!

GET IN! :buttrock

Great news! Cant wait for the NESV announcent. I don't believe Hicks will get anything close to 1.6 billion in damages.

EVERYTHING the liverpool board has done as being proven legal in courts.

They will win that? What you mean the damages claim?

They won't get 1.6b, never, RBS and the board has the higher court to back up their defence.

1.45pm: Has Tom Hicks thrown in the towel? This statement from Hicks (in full):

LFC owners to pursue $1.6 billion from "epic swindle"

Hicks and Gillett withdraw TRO blocking sale of Liverpool Football Club. Action prevents RBS from needlessly putting Club into administration. RBS rejected owners' pledge to pay off all debts by October 15. Attorneys say ludicrous, self-serving and illegal behavior from directors and outsiders to hinder Club for years.

"It's an extraordinary swindle and it will result in exactly the wrong thing for the Club and the fans."

Those were the words used by attorneys representing Liverpool Football Club owners this morning when they announced they would apply all of their legal energies toward securing at least $1.6 billion in damages they expect will result from the proposed illegal sale of the Liverpool Football Club.

Attorneys also stated that protracted litigation concerning the Liverpool transaction will now cause even more uncertainty for the LFC.

"This outcome not only devalues the Club but it also will result in long-term uncertainty for the fans, players and everyone who loves this sport because all legal recourses will be pursued," said Steve Stodghill, the Texas attorney representing the Liverpool owners. "Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett pledged to pay the debt to RBS so that the Club could avoid administration that was threatened by RBS. That offer was rejected. It is a tragic development that others will claim as a victory. This means it won't be resolved the way it should be resolved. My clients worked tirelessly to resolve these issues but RBS would not listen to any reasonable solution and the Directors acted selfishly and illegally."

Stodghill said the owners have no choice but to pursue every legal avenue possible, and they will.

"Mr. Hicks and Mr. Gillett wanted to position this club for the future, but others have a different agenda," said Stodghill. "In truth, there is nothing positive from these events for Liverpool Football. That is exactly the opposite of what my clients wanted to achieve. "

have you seen that bullsh!t statement these just come out with?

The damages claim is a fight for another day that I no doubt we will also win.. Right now.. Lets frickin go MENTAL!!! :buttrock

Broughton needs to prepare the legal defence for this law case along with RBS as soon as possible and before (if) he leaves.

We need to bring this to a head as urgently as possible so we can get on restructuring the club and building the new stadium.

CANT let this drag on for years.

Hicks: "We tried to buy the club through Mill Financial but it didn't work. #LFC board have acted illegally."

I can see Hicks being sued by many fans for emotional distress. That goes down well in the US

No they wont, if H&G want to sue they'll have to do it in England. And if it goes to trial, they will lose.

Hicks will maintain this bravado for a few months before accepting a minor settlement from RBS/insurance companies to p.iss off.
