The Liverpool saga may have yet another day in court early next year. Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr were aggrieved about the way in which the sale of the club, which left them out of pocket, was handled. Hicks complained that he was the victim of an ‘epic swindle’ and they felt that the British establishment had lined up against them. An alliance between the British establishment and the red half of Liverpool would certainly be a new page in history.

Hicks and Gillett are seeking to set aside an anti-suit injunction as their first step in testing the legal waters. Mr Justice Floyd ruled that the deal could proceed and he will preside over the new hearing, expected in Febuary. The respondents are expected to be Fenway Sports Group (formerly New England Sports Ventures), Royal Bank of Scotland and Martin Broughton.
