Winter's inspiration for the LFC came about in 2005, when he spent a summer in Tanzania assessing wheelchair technology for a group of wheelchair organizations.
In other words, the Dallas court has castrated both Royal Bank of Scotland, as creditors of LFC, and New England Sports Ventures, deemed by the British courts to be the new contractual owners of LFC.
"Whilst, in light of IFA's recent correspondence, LFC has been left with no option but to refer this matter to its lawyers, the club confirms that it is willing and ready to explore and find a negotiated solution to the satisfaction of all parties, " they said.
In a statement Linfield said that they regard "much of IFA's publicly expressed concerns about Windsor Park as being motivated less by a genuine concern over the state of repair of the ground and more as the basis upon which IFA now seeks to avoid its contractual commitment to LFC (Linfield Football Club)".
It looks to me as though stalemate still characterises the current state of play - which is why so much hinges on whether the Texas court at 0700 local time (1300 UK time) lifts the restraining order and would therefore allow either the sale of LFC to NESV to be completed or RBS to put the business into administration.
