Liverpool's soccer club Chairman Martin Broughton arrives at the High Court in London, Tuesday, Oct.12, 2010. The battle for control of Liverpool went to court with a bank trying to force through the sale of the club to the owners of the Boston Red Sox over the objection of the current American owners. Royal Bank of Scotland, which holds the bulk of Liverpool's debt, is seeking a court order preventing co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr. from removing two of the three rival board members supporting a 300 million-pound ($476 million) sale to the Boston group.(AP Photo/Alastair Grant)
The gates of Liverpool Football Club's Anfield Stadium is seen on the day that the club's possible sale has been announced, Liverpool, England, Wednesday Oct. 6, 2010. Liverpool's board agreed to sell the debt-riddled Premier League soccer club to the owners of the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, although legal action may be needed to force the existing American owners out. Current co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr. said Tuesday they would resist the bid from New England Sports Ventures, which owns the Red Sox, and a separate bid from Asia because both "dramatically undervalue" the 18-time English champions.
