One of the two owners, Tomas Hicks, is not going to back down and will seek through courts to prove that the sale of the club to the American company "New England Sports Ventures" (NESV) is invalid.
Liverpool's chairman Martin Broughton initiated the sale to NESV, but Hicks tried to obstruct it by dismissing other board members involved in the deal, Christian Purslow and Ian Ayre.
Broughton prevented this from happening, insisting that he had written evidence that the owners, to whom a Scottish bank extended the deadline for repaying a million-pound loan, promised not to interfere in the composition of the board or the sale operations.
If the deal with NESV goes through, Hicks, along with George Gillett, will lose about 144 million pounds sterling compared to the amount they spent acquiring the club.
According to Hicks' representative, Broughton did not have the right to reject the dismissals of Purslow and Ayre, and allegedly the newly formed board, which included Hicks' son, rejected NESV's offer.
In the near future, the dispute is expected to be resolved in court.
