This is now getting silly:

A Texas court has granted a temporary restraining order stopping the sale of Liverpool Football Club, owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have claimed.
It comes hours after the American pair saw their challenge against the club’s sale thrown out by the High Court.
Hicks and Gillett issued a statement as the Liverpool board met to ratify the sale to New England Sports Ventures.
The American duo described the proposed £300m sale as “an epic swindle” and are seeking more than £1bn in damages.
Hicks claims the injunction prevents Liverpool executing the sale of the club to NESV, with a hearing date of 25 October set.
The legal action in Texas – signed by Judge Jim Jordan of the 160th District Court in Dallas – is “part of a lawsuit filed against Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow, Ian Ayre, NESV and Philip Nash” read a statement.
“The lawsuit also seeks temporary and permanent injunctions, and damages totalling approximately $1.6 billion (more than £1 billion).”
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

-9 POINTS will be coming the scousers way :D .Not a chance, I’m afraid
Totally puzzled as to why BBC are treating it like a natural disaster and why Liverpool fans think they’ve been given such a bad deal when it appears that the Fat waiter was given many millions to spend on salaries and transfer fees every year. What more will another owner do ?
Send em down.
Now Friday.
The RBS wanted it’s money back TODAY!
If it was “Lickle Wigan” the fookers would of been knocking on the door at 00:01am, but OH NO THIS IS LIVERPOOL & all that rubbish :? !Got till 4pm, I’m informed.
Probably because its Liverpool and they don’t want to alienate the RBS customers. Same thing is happening with Rangers, their debt is approximately £100m and the bank want to foreclose, but fear the backlash from customers if they do.
