pedg Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 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. Previously they were allegedly applying for a validation order to unfreeze their accounts completely. What they claim they were going to apply for today was a very much more limited version just to pay some pressing bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_John Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 It appears that this has moved to being heard by Justice Norris, or am I mis-reading? It WAS Mrs Proudman earlier this afternoon in Court 10, they appear to have changed it in the last couple of hours to a new Judge with NO cases before it.

Winchester Red Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 (edited) The whinging and whining about the FPPT is winding me up. If a buyer comes forward in the next 10 minutes and the FL say no you're unsuitable the phew will be doing their nut claiming the FL are killing the club. They should have gone under 2 years ago. End of. The FL need to release a statement making it clear that the FPPT is nothing more than a power of veto that they may or may not wish to use. It is the clubs responsibility who they choose to sell to. If a prospective owner is put forward to the FL by the Club for FPPT then they are deemed to be acceptable to the club already and any future dissatisfaction is the problem of the club.

Chez Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 this is the fella we need I was thinking more along the lines of Darling: Sir, my case is very simple. I call my first witness, General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmaney Melchett. Darling: General, did you own a lovely, plump, speckily pigeon called Speckled Jim, which you hand reared from a chick and which was your only childhood friend? Melchett: (hysterical) Yes! (calmer) Yes, I did. Darling: And did Portsmouth Football Club shoot the aforementioned pigeon? Melchett: Yes, it did! Darling: (shouts) Can you see Portsmouth Football Club anywhere in this courtroom? Melchett: (overwrought, pointing his finger at Andriod) YES, THAT'S THEM!!! THAT'S THE FOOTBALL CLUB!!!!! AAHHHHH AAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Darling: No more questions, sir. Melchett: Very good, excellent, first class. Carry on. I therefore have absolutely no hesitation in announcing that the sentence of this court is: that you Portsmouth Football Club be taken from this place and shot to death by shooting tomorrow at dawn. Do you have anything to say? Lumpitt: Yes, can I have an alarm call, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 In a way the FL do need to be held responsible, the FPPT is a joke. Yes, but when you know something is ineffectual (which everyone with an ounce of intelligence has known about the FPPT since the beginning of time) then you can't turn around and blame it for your woes when it bites you on the arse. That's a bit like going to a zoo when you know that there's a problem with snakes escaping from their snake emporium but then start moaning and groaning at the zoo when you get bitten by a snake on your 3rd visit.
