martyg1950 Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooh it's a corner Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 What do we reckon then? Baker Tilly for administrator? Nobody stepping forward to fund the adminsitration process? Baker Tilly will very quickly do the maths, realise that the risk lies with them, and pull the plug, voluntary liquidation during the early part of next week? Or am I wetting the bed?

sfc1971 Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 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 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katalinic Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 (edited) I'm led to believe he's a Saints fan Corporate Recovery Specialist Trevor Birch joins PKF 25 August 2011: PKF, the leading firm of accountants and business advisers, has appointed Trevor Birch to head up its London Corporate Recovery and Insolvency team. An insolvency and restructuring specialist, Trevor began his career at Arthur Young in Liverpool in 1983 and was promoted to partner in the firm, by then known as Ernst & Young, in 1993. He subsequently led the firm’s Northern corporate recovery practice. 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. http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/trevor-birch/3a/131/8b8 Edited 17 February, 2012 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint si Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
