Stevie G hails high court verdict

(14-10-2010) Steven Gerrard has hailed a high court ruling that paves the way for a takeover of Liverpool. On Wednesday the club’s unpopular current owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett failed in their bid to block a possible takeover by New England Sports Ventures, the owners of the Boston Red Sox. Gerrard now hopes the whole club can move forward, starting with this weekend's Merseyside derby at Everton. "It's a fantastic result," Gerrard told the club's official website. "It seems things are nearly sorted off the pitch so we need to start getting them right on it by getting three points at Goodison on Sunday.” He added: “I know how frustrated the fans have been and I can understand their feelings. But we've all suffered in this, especially the supporters, and now it's time for us all to pull together and help move the club forward."
