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. "

Tosser.

Hicks, you are nothing but a self-centered, two-faced, low-life, liar. 

We don't know how good the new owners are going to be, but they CANNOT be worse than G&H. Hicks was prepared to run the club into the ground to protect his wealth - mortgaging the club against the debts he said would never be placed  upon the club. Right till the end, he cared not one bit about the harm he'd place the club in, if he was going down he wanted to drag the club down with him.
Today, is a good day.

We'll share grounds at least twice a year.  This Sunday being once.

I think (unless the club has commited to it legally through the orignal submitted plans) NSEV will repeat what they did in Boston and choose to redevolpment Anfield, rather than build a new one.

Great news.  Can't find a bad word about John Henry.

Hicks lol - probs the most untruthful interview ever given by an owner.

Now we just have to not get relegated!

[The Baron]

That interview is brilliant actually. Blaming Rafa and quoting Fergie! lol he just lives on another planet. We spent £150m net on players.... Where did he learn to count? Love it. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

How does it feel to lose £75m hahaha!
