A Texas court has granted a temporary restraining order stopping the sale of Liverpool Football Club, owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have claimed.

It comes hours after the American pair saw their challenge against the club's sale thrown out by the High Court.

Hicks and Gillett issued a statement as the Liverpool board met to ratify the sale to New England Sports Ventures.

The American duo described the proposed £300m sale as "an epic swindle" and are seeking more than £1bn in damages.

Hicks claims the injunction prevents Liverpool executing the sale of the club to NESV, with a hearing date of 25 October set.

The legal action in Texas - signed by Judge Jim Jordan of the 160th District Court in Dallas - is "part of a lawsuit filed against Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Martin Broughton, Christian Purslow, Ian Ayre, NESV and Philip Nash" read a statement.

"The lawsuit also seeks temporary and permanent injunctions, and damages totalling approximately $1.6 billion (more than £1 billion)."

It's only a temporary injunction until a hearing on the 25th but if the Hillbillies have evidence of their allegations that the Chairman hasn't attempted to get the best price for all creditors, including the shareholders, and even more specifically, their allegation that RBS instructed him that they would only a sanction a sale that didn't give any return at all to shareholders then there is a huge can of worms opened that could run for some time.

Bizarre to say the least. We are deep in the corporate law here and it's not exactly my speciality but didn't Premier League prohibit these "consortium own umbrella company who own investment company registered in Cayman Islands who own three companies concentrating on sports who each have shares to company that buys the football club" deals? Any which way sounds dodgy as fuck. And that Kenny Huang feller is nothing but pretender among the billionaires who own top football clubs.
