Pompey Takeover Saga

Surely being wound up was the worst ??

 

Well, could be interesting, if the court appoint a 'proper' admin practitioner, it will be the first set of fresh eyes on the books in a while. Whatever happened to that 'detailed forensic examination' that was supposed to have happened 2 years ago ?

 

It prolongs the comedy at the very least :)

SSN saying the argument is that the last admin was in a different league (PL...FFS) so points deduction should be 10.

 

Madness....

 

Did they get relegated whilst in admin = yes, did they enter the Championship in admin = yes, did they exit admin and agree a CVA whilst in Championship = yes. Quite simple then 2 admins in two years whilst in the Championship, DOCK THE CHEATS 20 PTS NOW !!!

I think HMRC have done it again for the 3rd time and cocked this up with the -20 comment - the FL will now say we won't be dictated to and its -10 because.....or then again Corp Ho may be right and it will be 0 :-)

 

The statement from HMRC was they MIGHT get docked up to 20 points. It was not them dictating to the league what to do just telling the judge the sort of punishment the few might receive.

Since when did rule and common sense apply in this case?

 

Still seeing fans of other championship clubs wishing them well, wider football has absolutely no clue what they've done and continue to do.

 

You would expect a proper administrator to get out the high wage earners out on loan, or terminate contracts asap.

I'm led to believe he's a Saints fan :lol:

 

Corporate Recovery Specialist Trevor Birch joins PKF

Trevor left Ernst & Young in 2002 to become chief executive of Chelsea Football Club, where he brokered Roman Abramovich’s £140 million takeover of the club.

 

After leaving Chelsea, Trevor, a former professional footballer, undertook other quasi-restructuring roles in the football industry, serving as chief executive of Leeds United, Everton, Derby County and, most recently, Sheffield United.

He definitely ticks the boxes in terms of knowing football inside out which would counter some of AA's arguments against him.

Plenty of mileage in this saga!

 

Who will be appointed?

How many points will they lose?

How is it going to work if the parent company (in admin) owns PFC2010 (in admin) - who gets to tell who what to do?

Throw in Baker Tilley who are still trying to recover the money from the last CVA and you have 3 lots of insolvency practitioners all negotiating with each other

Is Chainrai's charge going to be upheld?

Will the administrator go for CVA+sale or liquidation?

Will they even try and field a team tomorrow?!

 

So much fun to be had...
