London Court Again Rules Against Liverpool FC Owners, Potentially Clearing Way for NESV to Purchase Team

LONDON — A British judge has granted an injunction against Liverpool owners that could clear the way for the club's sale to the parent company of the Boston Red Sox.

High Court Judge Christopher Floyd issued an order Thursday against the legal action taken in Dallas by American co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr.

Hicks and Gillett had obtained a temporary restraining order Wednesday blocking the 300 million pound ($476 million) sale to New England Sports Ventures.
