Liverpool ownership battle returns to London high court

The Liverpool takeover case will return to London's high court on Thursday following the restraining order against the club's sale obtained by the owners in a Texas district court.

Royal Bank of Scotland won a high court ruling on Wednesday allowing them to go ahead with the 300 million pounds ($477.2 million) sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV) only for current owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks to gain a temporary restraining order on the sale. 

A high court spokesperson in London said the case was listed to be heard on Thursday but it might not happen until late in the day.
