Why is it no matter how many times you "win" a court case, even in the highest court in the land, there's always another option for those with money and connections. Just goes to show how just the justice system really is.8.16pm: Breaking News ... Sky Sports News has reported that the Texas court has adjourned until 7am tomorrow morning Dallas time (4pm BST) - which is just three hours before the deadline set in the High Court today - and so there will be no decision on Hicks and Gillett's case until then. I guess this means the rumoured NESV hearing in Texas, which was said to be taking place over the next few hours, will now not go ahead.
Who the hell knows? There appears to be no rules any more. RBS have to put the club into administration and weather they do that tomorrow is anyone’s guess. One thing's for sure though, H&G will still probably find a way to hold on and we'll get a 9 point deduction to boot.
What I want to know is if the court in Texas refuses to overturn the injunction or fails to do it by 4pm are the board free to sell the club? If so I can see little point in having the hearing apart from to delay a bit more.
The judge at the high court said the court in Texas had no authority in this case. I can't see what everyone is waiting for?
I have a horrible feeling there's one more twist in this tale, and it's going to go the way of H&G.

That's what I meant by warrant.
My point was he couldn't just run the club in abstentia, like they pretty much were trying to do anyway.
Didn't they bring in the rules after him though, to stop it happening again?

At this rate chipping in wont be required. The biggest problem is Hick's son is an even bigger ****.
I must admit I feel worried for Liverpool now (and I don't even support them).
Clearly there is something not quite right about the Judge in Dallas, theres all sorts of rumours on the internet linking him and Hicks and it seems to me he should have immediately recinded his TRO.
I suspect that giving them an 'extension' was the best he could do in the face of High Court ruling, and they are using the time to try and work out a way to keep control. Although it does seem like a refinance is unlikely since they wouldn't have waited until now to do it.
What I don't think I will ever understand is how G&H thought that merely by buying the club and holding on to it for a bit they would double its value.

Forgive my question, but I don't really understand what H&G are trying to achieve.
a) The club is sold to NESV, H&G lose out and walk away with a massive loss.
b) They hold on until RBS puts the club into administration and hence take control of it, H&G walk away with a massive loss.
Are they really doing this just so that Liverpool will get a 9pt deduction? Because I can't see how they can keep control so surely all they can do is delay until RBS lose their patience?

They're trying to delay the deal for as long as possible and/or muddy the water.
By doing this it gives them more time to try to come up with the money to repay RBS, pursuade any bidder to up their bid and possibly create a situation where they could claim damages.

the only people who are going to win are the lawyers.
they are the true scum, who want all these cases to go on for as long as possible, even years so they can line their pockets.
its the same as builders, why do a job in a day when you can drag it out for weeks and earn 10 times as much for the same job.
im hoping liverpool get new owners with some money, so you can see money being invested into the club rather than being drained out of it.

You can always represent yourself in court thus saving yourself the legal fees. No lawyers forced their way into court, the clients went to them.
Can't blame a shop charging £0.99 for a coke when you can get free tab water.
Hell, go get a junior barrister for £300 a day instead of a QC for £20,000. The client make that choice.
