Tom Hicks and George Gillett have backed down over the sale of Liverpool and withdrawn their restraining order in a Dallas court. This will permit the sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures to go ahead.
They are, however, going to pursue a claim for $1 billion in damages. It is not clear how this figure is arrived at given that their personal losses amount to £140m.
But it does look as if the long nightmare for Liverpool fans is over.
