If the financial statement provided to the court on Wednesday suggests that Pompey are insolvent, the Directors of the club will be *advised to place it into administration, immediately. To continue trading will expose them to the risk of being personally liable for any debts incurred and to being banned from being directors in the future. In my opinion, Storey will resign tomorrow, when Vantis produces the statement and tells him to read it and weep... *On second thoughts, only the creditors can place Pompey in administration, but I still expect Storrey to resign as a director if he's advised they are insolvent...

Storrie would do well to remember our visit to Fratton in 2004. The following extract from Wikipedia may jog his memory: "Ninety-three people were arrested for their involvement in riots involving over 300 people before and after a match with South coast rivals Southampton F.C. on 21 March 2004. The police were attacked, shops were looted, and cars were vandalised.Of those arrested, 64 were given banning orders, and some were gaoled. One of the arrests included a ten-year-old boy who became the youngest-ever convicted football hooligan in the United Kingdom, when he was found guilty of violent disorder. In August that year, 54 Portsmouth hooligans were banned for life by club chairman Milan Mandarić for their involvement in the riots at the Southampton game." Total knob jockey and an insult to estate agents, because that all he f*** ing is...

Here's another company that were late filing their accounts: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9698

Accounts that are really bad are filed late, or not at all. That's why Pompey scored zero. It's not an anomally, FFS, it's because Equifax assumes the accounts are bad and they are very rarely wrong, as the last few weeks have demonstrated....

In January, 2009, Equifax provided a league table of solvency, out of a total score of 100. Don't say no one was warned... The Equifax Table 98 Arsenal 93 Man United 71 West Brom 65 Tottenham 43 Blackburn 40 Manchester City 37 Sunderland 37 West Ham 26 Liverpool --------- CLUBS BELOW THIS LINE TECHNICALLY INSOLVENT 18 Everton 17 Stoke City 10 Chelsea 7 Middlesbrough 5 Newcastle 5 Bolton 2 Aston Villa 2 Wigan 2 Fulham 1 Hull 0 Portsmouth

His caravan's on bricks, not wheels...

Has anyone thought that if Saints had been able to spend £11M that was owed to the taxman, during our last season in the Premiership, on players and then when we were forced to pay it back, simply asked for a sub on the next Sky payment from the EPL, we may have stayed up? I guess no one at Saints imagined that's how it worked... If Pompey get their next payment in advance, I will be happy if we never join the Premier League again. How the f*** is it ever going to be considered a fair competition again? Screw them and the pigs at the trough that run their league. I'm happy where we are....

How times have changed:

I think it's likely that was provided by a convicted fraudster. This time it is likely to be from an accountant that gives a sh! t about his reputation...

I think it's more likely I read my copy of the Times more carefully than you did, Len: "The knock on effect would be felt right down the pyramid and an extra club could move up from each division." This appears in the paper edition, but not in the online article, cheapskates like you read....

Should Pompey cease to exist, it will mean that 4 teams will be promoted from our division. Given this fact, we may be closer to the playoffs than people think.

The term statement of affairs is also used to describe a type of balance sheet that shows immediate liquidation amounts, as opposed to acquisition or original costs, and is generally prepared when insolvency or bankruptcy is about to take effect.

Time they were put in their plaice. For too long, they have floundered around at the bottom of the Premiership. Now is the time to dab the tears away and wave goodbye. Seriously, what's the porpoise in carrying on? They're just flogging a dead horse...mackerel.

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12990 I still chuckle...

Were you there? They were facing us and did nothing to protect us or our players, either in the ground or outside...

Remembering the Derby game, at Pride Park, the OB were happy to let their fans invade the pitch and spent most of their overtime preventing the travelling Saints fans from doing the same. After 15 minutes of goading us, their fans were then allowed to dance off the pitch without a banning order in sight, whilst we were applauding both our players and their fans. Pleas God, allow us our 15 minutes of goading and celebrating, should we beat Pompey, preferably by going on the pitch, as nature intended. Markus waving a handful of Swiss francs wouldn't go amiss, either...

Yoda? More like Jabba the Hutt as this photo taken at an industrial unit at Horton Heath will confirm:

Dan Williams, aka HelpMeRhonda: I remember he was buying Blackburn Rovers, before he zeroed in on Saints...

...from the position we are in now, I can't help chuckling at the collection of complete nutters we attracted, when the administrators were called in. Christ, didn't we luck out with Markus? From the vantage point we now occupy, it is hilarious remembering the hall of shame and those that gave them a second of our time. How many can supress a laugh when faced with this lot? I wonder if any of this lot or any of the other characters, will resurface as Pompey go down the toilet? My bets are on Dan Williams followed closely by Marc "Monkey-Chicken" Jackson... I pray Help Me Rhonda is their spokesperson...

This one...

Yeah, I did. Have you ever been torn between the two phrases, "Lighten the mood" and "Rub Salt in the Wounds"?

Fantastic post, pancake. I took the liberty of posting it on the Pompey website. I'm sure they'll see the funny side...
