Torres Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 8 academy players! They can all play this weekend, no? That'd give them a bigger squad than Bompey had at 1 point, including the schoolboy that needed written permission for the headmaster to play!

Gemmel Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Morning ladies, Turned out nice again :) For those expecting admin to be refused....don't get your hopes up, it won't be. They will get a points deduction today though and I have every confidence it will be more the minus ten.

Wurzel Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 And can I just say that whatever happens, I'd like to put rivalry aside for a second and wish the likes of Mero the best of luck. He's just a normal football fan like most of us, albeit with appaling taste, rather than a frothing, deluded, cheating moron and he deserves a club of some form to support. Seconded. Perhaps once this thread has come to it's logical conclusion we can start a new one giving the likes of Mero all the support we can in getting a Phoenix club up and running. After all it's in our own interests to have a club that we can bicker with, insult, take the ****, even come to blows with occasionally. Without one our wives and girlfriends are going to be the ones to suffer. But joking aside, the town has enough sensible fans to deserve a replacement club to get behind, albeit in a much lower league to start with (only fair on the rest of the league). Apart from that we need someone to gloat over as we continue our march to the CL, B'mouth will never be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Why can't Liam Lawrence pay for his own effing scan? He most probably could, but remember he hasn't been paid wages for January yet, so probably difficult to make him pay himself... If he cared for his own health he'd go and get the scan sorted rightaway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 .Although, of the 12 who took part in the full session, eight were from the club’s academy. The remaining four were Kanu, Adam Webster, Dave Kitson and Aaron Mokoena. well the picture shows a lot of the first team squad in training, so yet another mistruth. As for today, if Pompey were a normal business I would expect that administration would not be permitted. As it is a football club with the MP etc really on the case and getting special meetings with the top brass at the Revenue etc i suspect they will be fine.

Pugwash Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 ‘Everything you can possibly imagine or try to imagine has happened, I can guarantee has happened.

The9 Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Anyone got a twitter link for a reporter (or around) in the court yet ? I don't usually bother, but, y'know. PS I'd just like to point out I used to work with Meringue-govian and he is a frothing moron. Just kidding, though he did attempt a spirited defence of Redknapp's transfer policy circa 2004 (when I noted that only about 20% of his signings played more than 10 first team games [Wapenaar, Mbesuma...]).

The West Brom midfielder impressed for the Blues during a previous spell earlier this campaign and the Baggies are prepared to let him rejoin on loan - and would also continue to pay his wages. Pompey boss Michael Appleton has also lined up another potential recruit as he bids to steer the club through an injury crisis. But he was waiting to discover the outcome of talks held yesterday between chief financial officer John Redgate and the Football League over whether the deals would be allowed. Appleton said: ‘I’ve been trying to speak to a couple of clubs about the possibility of bringing a couple of players in. George Thorne might be one of them. ‘We would take either free agents or loans. But I’ve got a couple of loans ready to come into the building which will not cost the club a penny. ‘I’ve had to use my contacts in the game to do a couple of favours for us. If we don’t get help from the Football League in trying to bring players in, then we have to get on with it. I have no other answers.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StDunko Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 So if the Tory bint Penny and her motley bunch of consipirtors do win their appeal to appoint a different administrator, could that be a way for them to "get away with it"? Lets say Baker Tilley are appointed instead (obviously they lose the 10pts) but might Baker Tilley find that Chainrai didn't lend any money to the club afterall and his floating charge is not valid. That would make the club much more saleable. Question marks might also be raised about whether the separation of the ground from the club by Gaydamak was also legal. Now that would be a worst case scenario (for those that want them dead). But I suppose they would still need to find a sugar daddy to buy/fund them or live within their means in the future, and we all know that they have the support/infrastrucutre of a top 6 League 1 team.

Frank's cousin Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Could the £7m taxes due from previous owners be related to EBTs (made famous by Rangers)? I thihnk the 7mil is the TOTAL HMRC are owed (approx 2mil from the last few months + approx 5mil from the last CVA) - media have simply added the two so Pompeys debts need to be reduced by 5mil otherwise you are counting this debt in the 16mil VCVA twice... would be my reckoning anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
