Broughton said nothing is guaranteed ahead of a meeting that will be held on Wednesday night with a reconstituted board. Singapore business tycoon Peter Lim tabled an improved £320million bid on Tuesday and Broughton, who was appointed in April to oversee the sale of the Anfield club, will wait to see what the outcome of Wednesday night's meeting is before endorsing either bid.
He told Sky Sports News: "I am absolutely elated, it's a very important day for our club. This will clear the way for the sale, we will have a board meeting this evening and proceed with the sale. It has been an anxious time but we have been confident. But when you go to court you can never be sure."
Regarding the sale to NESV, Broughton added: "The board has to be reconstituted and I can't prejudge what the board is going to say. It would be inappropriate to prejudge what the board may say.
"I want to thank the fans for their support through a difficult time. We hope to have the board meeting this evening. We will get the right owners for the fans. It was an excellent outcome and I will be very pleased when the process we came in to do is completed."
