  1. Abramovic has converted his loan to liquidity in the club, probably to make sure Chelsea can comply with UEFA regs for entry into the CL but that says a lot to write off so much money. The only issue they have now is meeting the running costs. Also they have been submitting accounts on time. Something Gaydamak didn't do on both counts or 'gift' the club money like Lerner has to Villa. Why wait for rival fans to start asking questions about Gaydamak? Surely, it would be in your own interest to do so from the start.
  2. So AA wrong again, I wonder why Matt Slater also said the 1st was likely. Rob Lloyd is still sniffing around... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/23/portsmouth-meeting-potential-buyers although it states Tal Ben Haim is likely to join West Ham.
  3. He seems to be a reasonable manager for league one. I'm not sure what state the pilgrims are in as a club - will they be able to back him in the player market? What is their current squad like?
  4. Do you really expect them to know what it means?
  5. I would believe you if: we'd racked up £50m plus in debt, lied to the FL about the amount of debt, played our first team instead of the youth and reserve players didn't cut costs at the club employed 500 people which were later shown to be a lie employed a manager on more money than your chauffeur traded while insolvent gone to court facing a winding up order transfered players in when trading insolvent owed monies to charities owed HMRC tax revenue then yes we would be no different.
  6. one for the Sinatra fans.
  7. The second vote is for non-associated creditors and the pass mark is 50%. (the invisible one and the big one are associated being owners).
  8. Passed with 74%, see MLG post above for details (I didn't see Gaydamaks details in there).
  9. Alpine can be Wat Tyler.
  10. Much will depend on: 1) what information has been passed on by the PL 2) what information has been given by the skates 3) what detail are in the new regulations regarding financial status of clubs and any permissible sanctions As we found out, Saints may have be legally correct in pursuing the loophole regarding which company was in admin but the Football League has to keep the interests of all its members satisfied especially if an advantage over all others is being exploited.
  11. But is not really a concern without knowing what's going on - why do we need to know the details before it happens? The club has a list of potential targets. Why get stressed out about player signings when we don't know: who the targets are whether they want to join the terms are agreeable or, any contingency plans If anything the signing of Dickson shows Saints are active in the transfer market. It seems unless we have a daily bulletin of what is going on some are not satisfied.
  12. Yes they can. Of course it depends on what analysis and game plan HMRC are working to, i.e. do they need the skates to be out of admin or not to proceed with plans? Do they need to use all the time to force the skates into a corner and gather information regarding the CVA and other avenues they are pursuing. I doubt HMRC will be influenced by the fact the club will be out of admin so techically* can buy players. * The FL would have to agree terms of lifting the embargo and restrictions to contracting players to the club may still apply, especially this season as new regulations have been added to the FL rulebook.
  13. The matt slater blog on the BBC. Question was asked as I would have thought the same as you (especially given AA has said the first of July), all depending on an appeal before the first.
  14. embargo likely to be lifted on the 1st July (14days) when club comes out of admin.
  15. They have been around in South African football since the late 1990's.
  16. Keep them at the World Cup. The Hear the World Foundation has declared the vuvuzela as the loudest of all fan instruments and that it can cause personal hearing loss. Tests conducted in a sound-proof studio found the vuvuzela emitted 127 decibels, more than the air horn - 123.5 - and Brazil's samba drums. A referee's whistle was fourth while the cowbell trailed at 114.9. "To put it in perspective, when a sound is increased by 10 decibels our ears perceive it as being twice as loud, so we would consider the vuvuzela to be more than double the volume of the cowbell."
  17. BSkyB suggested as much last year. Didn't the Times also threaten to become subscription for some of their internet site?
  18. I was told by my brother (works at the course) that for the big fields on the straight course you may as well pick the nearest prominent racer to the far rail and you would be in with a chance.
  19. Portsmouth FC may need three weeks for new CVA proposal
  20. Are you sure, there were a few Leeds players who voted in the club's CVA. One actually voted against.
  21. I'm sure Chile will still play a part in this!
  22. When it comes to world cups, Spain are the nearly men. Come on Switzerland, nearly there!
  23. It'll be a blueprint for those clubs willing to spend to enjoy the highlife normally beyond reach and if it then gets too much a season of struggle to clear their debts sounds great as you're stated. Hopefully there will be a few surprises yet, so I'll wait for the fat lady as the stage hasn't disappear.
  24. Last place... ****ing **** **** ********! I'm no longer playing on this fred and keeping bets to myself.
  25. expected better from this game but it's been dire.
