Pompey Takeover Saga

Good thinking, they could meet their new owner there too! :lol:

 

Surely, they could borrow a few spare bedrooms for the night, should they put out an appeal. Having said that, if they get up early they can always get there on time. If they look on google they can find some roads to park on were they don't need to pay for a ticket and walk the last bit.

will they actually go bust this time...?

will they get more than a 10 point penalty...?

will they get away with it for the 3rd time..?

 

No, no and depends on your definition of "get away with it".

 

They'll be granted admin and they ain't going to be liquidated on Monday

You would think they will go bust, but it would really shake the football league. There has to be someone who genuinely does go bust, just unfortunate for them that they will be the first.

Put it this way, without Marcus I am sure we would have gone and I can't remember many words of comfort from them.

 

I personally, feel sorry for the few decent ones, and there are one or two.

I see Appleton's fallen into the "it's not fair on everyone else if we've got a depleted squad, so we should be allowed to sign loads more loan players" trap.

 

We’re getting to the stage where we’re not going to be competitive to the detriment of the division.

I wouldn't say that's to the detriment of the division, I'd imagine the likes of Coventry, Doncaster, Nottingham Forest and Millwall will be quite happy to see a limbs-nearly-falling-off starting lineup for the rest of the season.

so will just get a 10 point penalty....how come they won't get further points deductions ala, bompey?

 

There's no reason under the current rules for them to do so under current FL rules. Its happened in other leagues (like Dundee I think?) but the FL would have to rewrite their rulebook for multiple admins in so many years. They have history for doing so but under the current people I really can't see it happening.

Coventry aren't looking that useless anymore, especially at home, and of their 7 remaining home games, only one is against a top-half side (Birmingham). The rest are all very winnable (Barnsley, Palace, Pompey, Peterborough, Millwall, Doncaster)

I did not, I watched Sherlock Holmes....another excellent BBC series.

 

S'alright, the perp who was asked to quote that got it wrong anyhow. I agree about Sherlock Holmes however...not such a fan of Conan-Doyle though for obvious reasons (I bet all the pompey fans are wishing they had world-renowned support like Dickens and Conan-Doyle now :p

Sir, with respect, you're about 3 pages and 5 hours off the pace :-)

 

Haha It's hard to keep up. I do some work for an hour or so and when I come back they have been locked out of their training ground, are in A & E waiting on a scan on Lawrence's leg, hiring a mini bus using luncheon vouchers to get to the game and being taken over by Dell boy. All of this on top of the usual moaning about having a small squad, being plucky and having the best fans in the world ™.

So I can't find any news on their bank account being unfrozen. Did they even bother to try? Gregory is just another tyre kicker & has given Comical Andy the smoke screen he needs to show the Courts that he has an investor waiting in the wings, even if its carp! Hope i'm wrong but feels like deja vu, although logically there seems no way out, but whenever has logic & poorsmouth gone hand in hand. I'm going to miss all the fun tomorrow busy until about 4pm.

@TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey fans speaks of "stunning" revelation by Football League after he posed questions about League's takeover procedures.South Today 6.30

 

That will be the 'football league reveal they were misled about Antonov' rubbish... can see the FL desperately trying to finf a way of 'helping them out as tehy crumble in panic that public opinion is against them on this...because 'plicky pompey' dont deserve it.... nothing would surprize me now... and the fL granting loans and no points deductions would seem normal given how they seem to have bent over and taken the pompey cock for quite some time....

Thats a fair summary. Don't blink or you'll miss their application to the Lottery for interim funding or to the Arts Council for their contribution to popular culture

They were talking about applying for a validation order again today weren't they to unfreeze their account?

 

Ahh you'd have to refer that one to my learned friends the insolvency experts here. As far as I've been able to grasp Pompey's bank accounts are blocked because of the winding up order which comes before the courts next Monday.The only way of disposing of whatever cash they actually have before then is to enter administration which will be decided by a different court tomorrow.

It was referenced in one of the news articles that they were going to try for a very specific validation order so they can withdraw a limited amount of money for some pressing bills or something like that.

Here is the list for tomorrow in Court 10 (of the Rolls Building) before MRS JUSTICE PROUDMAN. There are a number of cases (10 ?) before the Cheats FC so could it be delayed until the afternoon (?).

http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/courts-and-tribunals/courts/hearing-lists/list-cause-rolls.htm

 

It appears that this has moved to being heard by Justice Norris, or am I mis-reading?

Not quite. It was reported earlier in the week that they were going to apply for a 'restricted validation order' to release specific funds to pay specific bills this week. That can be applied for before the administration hearing in 'special circumstances'

Sorry but I read that court list as below :

COURT 26

Before MR JUSTICE NORRIS

Friday, 17 February 2012

At half past 10

INTERIM HEARINGS LIST

1403 of 2012 Portsmouth Football Club (2010) Limited

1403 of 2012 Same

 

So it's Mr Norris not Mrs Proudman.

 

And Norris has previous with Andronikou...http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8544183.stm and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1254880/Portsmouth-set-lose-Fratton-Park-owner-Balram-Chanrai-reveals-taxman.html

 

That could be really bad news for them - he knows the background.

PUP 1

 

enquiries@football-league.co.uk send your complaints to this email address and any other complaints email address that they give, Dont be rude just let them know that we feel they didn't do there jobs properly to ensure we are not in this position now. lets see if complaints can help and if the governing bodie of the championship will actually listen to us! please pass it to your friends and urge them to do the same, it may be too little too late but its worth a go surely, lets try and stop the 10 points deduction

 

Why so thick....

Is that good or bad? Show of hands...

 

Bad news for the Skates as he knows the case background and could therefore be receptive to either rejecting the administration application entirely or any HMRC challenge to Andronikou's appointment. Technically of course they are different companies from the last time he came into contact with PFC but Justice Norris is unlikely to be so naive as to know that to all intents and purposes they are the same.

But apparently they've been applying for one of those doodahs for a couple of weeks now,apparently without success because it was supposed to be about paying their players and it's said that they haven't done that yet.
