Martin Broughton remains confident the takeover of Liverpool will go through despite Tom Hicks and George Gillett's bid to block the sale.
The proposed £300million deal with New England Sports Ventures (NESV) was delayed on Wednesday after the club's current owners Hicks and Gillett gained an injunction in a Texas court to stop the sale of the Anfield outfit.
Earlier on Wednesday a takeover looked to be on the horizon after the High Court in London ruled Hicks and Gillett could not prevent a change of ownership.
The whole process took another step closer on Wednesday evening when NESV supremo John W Henry, who also controls the Boston Red Sox, then arrived in London for talks with Liverpool's board
However, Hicks and Gillett have challenged the sale by obtaining a temporary restraining order to prevent the deal going through.
The Americans have described the prospective deal with NESV as an 'epic swindle' and are seeking $1.6billion (more than £1billion) damages against The Royal Bank of Scotland, Liverpool board members and NESV.
Despite the latest twist in the saga, Broughton is optimistic that the sale will go through after accusing Hicks and Gillett of 'trying every trick in the book'.
"They are trying every trick in the book, but keep the faith," Broughton told Sky Sports News HD.
"We will keep trying. I haven't heard anything [this morning] I haven't had time."
Asked if he remained confident of doing the deal with NESV, Broughton added: "I always remain confident."
Liverpool are looking to remove the restraining order obtained by Hicks and Gillett and they intend to complete the sale to NESV, with Henry believed to be prepared to wait for the order to be lifted to conclude the takeover.
