Fratton is a less attractive area than the area around The Dell. (in every sense!) Won't be worth as much. and I'm not clear how much land the club (sort of ) owns beyond the actual stadium before it reach Gaydamak's land. There was a small car park with the Dell, so the area may be bigger?

So the trust's "all funded and ready to sign at the drop of a hat" bid is not yet actually ready? Gosh! Who'd have thought it!

In all fairness , you have to be fairly skint to get legal aid. Pretty much the worse situation to be is an average or more wage earning home owner. And I think Steve is right , no legal aid for a libel case anyway.

That can't be right. Micah Hall is absoutely correct about everything, and has never even been threatened with legal action -- according to his own blog, and that's always right, so it must be right... I think

Headline says 'set to land for £10m' then article says "Sportsmail can reveal the Blues had a £10million offer for the England Under 21 defender rejected by Southampton in January" Why on earth would we sell for in the summer for the same money we rejected in January ...after he has spent the second half of ths season proving he is one of the most promising young English players in the league? Do these journalists ever bother to read their own stories to check they make sense?

I think their difficulty has been that they do consider it 'not there' money

Lol

Yes. Soon we will all wake up and HR will be back in Dallas, alive and well.

We called Portsmouth 'scummers' right up until the late 90's, at least, I'd say... maybe well into the 2000's.

the possible​ restraint of trade would be restraining Harris, not PFC

There may ​be a case for "restraint of trade", which could overrule the private members club argument.

The difference is Mr Wilson, you chose to sell it and you didn't try and pay off the building society with less than you owed for your mortgage.

if they go out of the FL ,will they stil get the remaining parachute payments?

That is my understanding. In effect PKF are asking the judge, "is it ok to sell Fratton for £3 miilion and force Portpin to take that as 'full' payment of their charge, even though their charge is for much more?" Obviously the judge will hear arguments about the correct value of Fratton Park as part of the case , but it is not his job to arive at a definitive correct valuation as such. If it were, he could have gone ahead with the case weeks ago. The adjournments were necessary because PKF weren't in a position to go ahead with the sale, so a decision forcing it through would have been a bit embarrassing.

Strangely, it does not seem to have been reported on the News site. Allen really is a little **** isn't he?

Not keen on popcorn myself. Can we have an emoticon for eating canapés or hors d'oeuvres, for us posh fans ?

Do we have to choose? Why not both? Harris first, draining a few more £s out for chainrai, and losing them even more of the bestest few over 2 or 3 years until the parachute payments have finally gone, then, after another administration and another points deduction, eventually a sham of a "fans' takeover" based on a few pledges and a lot of debt.

The 'lack of time' line never did make sense. If Harris really does have some cash lined up, his takeover would go through quicker than the trust's, because he apparently has the approval of all the other parties and there'd be no court case.

and a promise to repay the HNWs

Just when you think it's safe to go back into the water!

Admin 1 was years ago. The current admin is about admin 4 or so

This appears to be £1.2 million from Stuart Robinson btw - also short term, same as the council loan. Hence Taylor's comments about the PFA members now being third in line. So they'll have £1 million from the HNWs, presumably in addition to the money they've already put in? £1.2 million loan from Robinson, £1.45 millon loan from PCC and somewhere around a massive £1.3 to £1.5 million of actual fans' cash money

I'm still hoping that West Ham will be the team that gets dragged down into relegation after a reasonably good start to the season. Seems to happen to one team most years,and they're not doing so well now. In which case they (and QPR of course) will be skint and in the championship agai , so definitely not bidding high for any of our players.

They're stuffed .. no they're not ..yes they are ..no they're not .... etc. So, much as before your 2 weeks lapse. I believe the episodes you've missed may be on i-player. Try searching under 'comedy' and 'soap operas'.

He is indeed a decent bloke. I suspect there may even be one or two other decent blokes amongst their fans -- you never know!
