I think we can all agree, that if last Oct 1, you would have been told we'd have Kenny in charge with money to spend, and new honorable owners a year later, we'd have been very happy!

[size=10pt]Tom Hicks and George Gillett continue to seek Liverpool damages
[/size]

• Former owners claiming hundreds of millions in damages
• Almost one year since Hicks and Gillett were ousted from club

Liverpool's former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are still seeking damages from the club's present owners, former directors and the Royal Bank of Scotland, almost one year after New England Sports Ventures gained control of the Anfield club in the high court.

Hicks and Gillett lost control of Liverpool last October when NESV, now Fenway Sports Group, repaid a £237m loan the American businessmen had taken out with RBS and the US bank Wells Fargo. Hicks claimed he was the victim of an "epic swindle" but his appeal to have a $1bn damages claim heard in the US was dismissed at the high court in February.

Mr Justice Floyd's ruling, however, permitted Hicks to sue for damages in this country and Liverpool's former owners have served notice of their intention to proceed by filing papers to that effect. Hicks and Gillett are claiming hundreds of millions in damages from the RBS, NESV and former directors, believed to be Martin Broughton and Christian Purslow.

Hicks tried and failed to remove Purslow and Ian Ayre, who has since succeeded Purslow as the managing director at Liverpool, from the club's board during his desperate attempts to retain control but was ultimately thwarted in the high court. The Americans' latest legal challenge could take several months to come to court.
 
I don't think we can, since the club itself isn't named as a defendant. If Statler and Waldorf follow through on their threat, though, we should give every assistance to those who are sued. With a bit of luck the action will fail and the consequent costs order will bankrupt the two cowboys.
 
Look JJ, I'm been bevvying in the sunshine. Ergo we should either sue the motherfuckers or hit them with a major, and I mean major leaflet campaign. I demand pain is inflicted upon them. DEMAND it. Fulfill my demands. Immediately.

I've actually bought the book on these two yesterday (The Epic Swindle). Don't often buy sports books but I figured it might be interesting.
