Dirk Kuyt and Daniel Agger were both injured on international duty on Tuesday night, giving Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson more to worry about ahead of the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
Kuyt’s injury could be the more serious as he lasted only 29 minutes of Holland’s game against Sweden before leaving with what appeared to be a bad ankle injury.
Agger, making his comeback from a groin problem, lasted only 39 minutes of Denmark’s game against Cyprus.
According to the Liverpool website, both players will be assessed on their return to Melwood before any decision is made about the weekend.
Hicks and Gillett have been granted an injunction by a Texas court and are seeking $1.6bn in damages.
SSN are reading a statement from them and pausing after nearly every sentence to qualify that they’re only reading its contents and that it isn’t the view of Sky. Idiots.
Come Friday RBS can sell to who they want… It will only put the club into administration…The fuckers obviously looking to cripple the club with some form of compensation.
If Royal Bank of Scotland does business dealings in Texas, courts there would certainly have personal jurisdiction over the bank," writes Daniel Stauss.
Elsewhere in the Telegraph Paul Kelso claims that “The jurisdiction of the Texas order in the UK was not immediately clear, but sources said the impact of the action could be to put RBS, which has considerable US interests, Broughton, through his role as BA chairman, and NESV in contempt of a US Court.”
Liverpool FC statement
13th Oct 2010 - Latest News
Following the successful conclusion of High Court proceedings today, the Boards of Directors of Kop Football and Kop Holdings met tonight and resolved to complete the sale of Liverpool FC to New England Sports Ventures.
Regretably, Thomas Hicks and George Gillett have tonight obtained a Temporary Restraining Order from a Texas District Court against the independent directors, Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and NESV to prevent the transaction being completed.
The independent directors consider the restraining order to be unwarranted and damaging and will move as swiftly as possible to seek to have it removed.
So this isn’t looking so great for Liverpool fans now.
Seems that Hicks and Gilette’s ownership may have transferred to Mill (the venture capitalists who originally funded their acquisition).
So the Texas injunction delays the sale to NESV and in the meantime Mill take ownership of the shares owned by Hicks and Gilette. They can then decide to pay £200m to buy off the RBS debt and all of a sudden they’d own the club and control its destiny.
