DID YOU KNOW THAT LIVERPOOL HAVE WON 19 ENGLISH TITLES?




We the Reds have won one more championship than is officially accepted.
When Everton left Anfiled they could only do so by setting up a fresh company with a new board, directors and officials, plus the issue of 5, 000 shares. The Football League allowed this entity to take the name and retain League membership.

John Houlding, wanted his new club to inherit all those privileges, but once this was denied he changed the club`s name.

He registered Everton FC and Athletic Grounds LTD on 15 March 1892 while the soon-to-be old tenants remained in residence, Once that plan was thwarted the new name- intended to be Liverpool Football Club Towards the end of March, just two weeks after the board split, Houlding`s committee passed a resolution giving effect to the suggestion.

During the summer the Board of Trade, a government department, accepted the change of name from Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company LTD.

The Record books reflect that Everton FC hold that title and no Liverpool fan will want to clam the accolade but strictly speaking the REDS have won 19 English titles

Offically
Liverpool 18 and 5 EU cups

Un-offically

Liverpool 19  5 EU cups

11.22am: Mr Justice Floyd has declined to grant an appeal. The judge said it would be inappropriate in the circumstances for him to grant leave. He said that if Hicks and Gillett are determined to appeal, they would have to apply to the appeal court for permission.


11.11am: Judge tells Hicks and Gillett it would be "inappropriate" to appeal. But that route does still remain open, although it is unclear what it could achieve with a board meeting by 8pm tonight.
Sachin says that the Liverpool/RBS barristers are now being cheered by the crowd outside.
11.07am: We will be fleshing out more detail of the court ruling over the next few hours. The judge seems to be allowing a breakneck speed to the sale process, which is what RBS and the board wanted. Will H&G appeal? Have they time to? Even if they do, can it halt the sale? Will NESV wish to proceed if new litigation is hanging? Lots of questions, hopefully some answers in the coming hours....
11.05am: The board also want court costs paid by H&G.
11.04am: Judge rules that owners should pay RBS costs.
11.02am: Broughton wants a board meeting by 8pm today to sort out the sale and there is a dispute over whether the owners will be able to communicate via phone. The owners' QC is asking for the meeting to take place at ten o'clock tomorrow. Judge rules that it should be at 8 today.
11.01am: RBS want the owners to cover their court costs. Wonder how much they are?
10.59am: More detail:
The high court today granted injunctions that could open the way for the prompt sale of Liverpool.
The club's owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett asked a judge to delay the hearing of an application by creditors Royal Bank of Scotland for mandatory orders paving the way for a possible sale this week. But the plea was rejected by Mr Justice
At RBS's request, the judge imposed injunctions on the two men requiring them to restore the original constitutions of the companies and managing directors.
This removes the final stumbling block to a £300m takeover by New England Sports Ventures which will see the RBS recoup its original £237m loan to Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett when they bought the club in March 2007.
10.54am: Judge throws out attempt by owners to have interim injunction put on board.
10.50am: The injunction means the board is reconstituted with Purslow and Ayre back in place and Broughton allowed to see through the sale, reports Sachin Nakrani
10.49am: Mr Justice Floyd: "The owners do not have an absolute right to veto a sale."
10.43am: Judge rules against H&G, which means NESV deal can proceed.
10.42am: JUDGE RULES MANDATORY INJUNCTION WANTED BY RBS AGAINST OWNERS IS GRANTED: SALE CAN GO AHEAD
10.35am: Anthony O Connell emails to say: "Is it just me or is their no future for courtroom MBM, they are seriously long and boring a bit like a cricket match. On a more serious note as a Liverpool fan this could be a big day for football in general as Liverpool are the first truly big club to go through this process and it shows exactly what could happen at various other clubs particularly Man Utd should debt default raise its head in other clubs."
10.28am: While we continue to wait for Mr Justice Floyd's judgment,
10.16am: While we await word from court, here's yesterday's recap of the basic positions argued by the main parties:
RBS says owners have contradicted rules of sales agreement by trying to oust two members of the board and there should be a mandatory injunction imposed by the court to make sure the board is reinstated.
G&H admit they have breached sales agreement but say they only did it because the board excluded them from the sales agreement and refused to take into account stronger alternative bids to NESV. As a result, they dispute the injunction claim.
The Board disputes the claim that the owners were excluded from the sales agreement and says that instead the owners simply refused to take part. It also insists the NESV bid was the strongest on the table after a thorough process to find a buyer for the club. Swearing-In of Mr Justice Floyd Mr Justice Floyd:   10.05am: Mr Justice Floyd has arrived...

Americans In ...Out?













Scroll down to the interview Americans In... Americans Out

Note: The time difference,mainland Europe is one hour ahead of the UK.




Quoting a source inside the club, the paper claims that Broughton has a "Plan B and Plan C" that he could use to push through the sale in the event that current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett manage to block it in court. And considering the sale would leave them with losses of £144 million for their time at Anfield, they will be trying to do everything they can to block it.



Yes, you read that right: £144 million losses. Clearly the American duo have been no good for the club, but when you think of it like that it's easy enough to see where they're coming from.


Imagine it all in something closer to 'normal person' terms: say you bought a house for £219,000, and then you get into a bit of financial trouble after borrowing a load of cash to do it up. You call in a new builder to help you sort it out sell it on, but he then goes and sells it - without your permission - for £75,000 plus whatever you still owe of your loan.



Would you not try to block the sale? Obviously it's not quite that simple at a publicly traded football club, but add a few £'000s and that's more or less why Hicks and Gillett are not happy.

Is the courts obligation to look at just the facts and agreements whereby the American owners could be right in their argument or do a morale duty in face of public and fans opinion?

Liverpool would be at risk of a nine-point deduction if the owners' holding company is put into administration, it has emerged.

West Ham has been used as an example of why the Reds might escape a deduction if administration goes ahead when it was owned by Icelandic bank Straumur.
However, the Hammers were a solvent part of a whole portfolio of different companies while Kop Holdings is solely concerned with Liverpool. Hicks and Gillett's legal action against the proposed takeover will begin in the High Court next week.
