da bet nacional: Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton remains concerned that the Reds may move into administration next week.
da winzada777: At a High Court on Tuesday it will be decided whether Broughton wins his battle against the club's owners, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, over the proposed sale of the club to New England Sports Ventures (NESV).
Broughton was hired by Hicks and Gillett earlier this year as club chairman, with his main job being to find a new owner.
He has now set up a £300million sale to NESV, but Hicks and Gillett are unhappy with the arrangement and, if the High Court rules in their favour, the Reds could go into administration as the club's main financial backers, Royal Bank of Scotland, are due to call in their debt of £280million on 15 October.
"It (administration) could happen, yes," Broughton told the Daily Telegraph."This is all part of why it's important that we made the decision on Tuesday to accept one or the other of the two very acceptable bids. Heading for administration was a very likely outcome if we didn't.
"Even now with the court case looming, administration cannot be ruled out. It isn't inevitable, and I'm not going to start giving percentages of how much it's possible. That's why we're going to court to clarify our position on the sale of the club, and we have to win in court, and we will win in court.
"Going into administration needs to be avoided at all costs, as the negative impact would be catastrophic. Setting aside the nine-point deduction, it would have an impact on Liverpool's value and be wide open to predators, whereas we have what we believe are the right new owners to take the club forward."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
