Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Lol. Birch says he cannot work with AA as they have a very different attitude to compliance. Glad to see that it has been widely recorded now to the open public what scum AA really is. Not just our opinion but seemingly the opinion of those in the same profession. He is effectively calling AA a cowboy with that comment, which he is! I feel for the true fans of Pompey and want nothing more than them to be the annoying little sibling of ours we had all those years so dont really want them wound up but everything they have done over the last few years just points to cheating in every way shape and form. Even the administrator appointed to look out for the creditors (AA) are bent FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Appointment of Birch could be a win/win for all. Option 1 - he liquidates them. Option 2 - he finds a buyer whilst making the necessary cuts that result in relegation - cue much crying (and laughter) We could not be disappointed in that scenario....

derry Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 (edited) Nope. Don't believe we would have been. Leon Crouch and Mary Corbett stated at a meeting I was at, that we couldn't go into administration, as soon as the club ran out of money it was only liquidation that could be considered. And that was very close. We had run out of time, it was either ML or liquidation. Edited 17 February, 2012 by derry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was very close. We had run out of time, it was either ML or liquidation. As I said, I don't believe it would have happened. As we saw with Portsmouth, the judges don't have the guts to liquidate and certainly when you consider how much smaller our debt was in comparison to theirs. We would have survived somehow.

hutch Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 You have to laugh, don't you: ‘In my conversations with HMRC I’ve always asked them to look at our club and its situation and not bring into it the other sins of football. ‘There’s a lot of bad practice in football and a lot of tax that hasn’t been paid, but this is about our club. Absolutely, Pen. As we know, "your" club does, after all, have such an exemplary record of keeping up to date with it's tax payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Bob Beech saying that the Premiership and football league washed their hands of them. How about you ensured your club was self sufficient Bob before you complain, then it wouldn't have mattered if your club was dodgy. If they had gone down the route of someone like Milwall and had a sensible wage cap they could afford, then they would have a right to feel aggrieved. Fool.

rshephard3 Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Portsmouth fans are putting me off football completely. How can people have such a blatant disregard for even the lightest, diet version of the truth? Not to mention disregard for payments to charity, HMRC, local small businesses and Portsmouth city council. It's truly disgusting. I can't see how 'administration' can be the answer. I'm not a corporate tax lawyer but I find it unreal to think this is a business that's not being wound up. Once is forgivable, twice should be goodbye and good riddance.
