Liverpool’s Texas showdown

LIVERPOOL’S complicated ownership issues could finally be concluded several thousand miles away today when a court in Texas reconvenes.

The club moved to the brink of being taken over by New England Sports Ventures (NESV) when a High Court judge in London dismissed an United States-based injunction preventing the sale of the club.

However, lawyers for co-owner Tom Hicks immediately went back to the 160th District Court in Dallas for another hearing with Judge Jim Jordan only for that to be adjourned without resolution.
