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.
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.
Without reading the whole thread, isn't tomorrow the date Liverpool have to pay off the debts to RBS? Where does the whole 9 point deduction stand now?
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.
