Liverpool sale still hangs in the balance

Anfield resolves to sell to NESV; Judge says owners cannot veto deal

LONDON - The Liverpool board's attempts to sell the club hit more obstacles on Wednesday when the American owners launched a last-ditch bid to stop a sale despite a High Court judge having ruled they could not block it.

The board remained determined to sell the club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV), owners of baseball's Boston Red Sox, but while it met to discuss the details a Texas court granted the owners a temporary injuction on the sale.
