aintforever Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 ML was ready to write out a cheque at that time. If he had walked away we were done for. But he didn't so Fry made a correct call.
Pancake Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Olly Birch @ollybirchpfc HMRC say mr birch doesn't want to work with AA Olly Birch? mr Birch? What?
aintforever Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Making AA administrator would be a bonkers decision.
stevegrant Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 AA has been well and truly burned by Birch there

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 ^This. They are comparing apples with oranges. Really who give a flying **** what they think of us....desperate ****e

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 17 February, 2012 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!
Ampersound Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Outside the building now, thought there would be skates to laugh at, but none at all. They are all here in tesco Havant. I've just read the last couple of pages whilst waiting in the queue. I'm a smug g1t today for some reason
Channon's Sideburns Posted 17 February, 2012 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 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
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Cant believe two of our own have been trolled into discussing ML on today of all days. Eye on the ball guys.

pedg Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Olly Birch@ollybirchpfc HMRC saying concerned portpin would be too influential Think the term is "no sh*t sherlock" on that one.
derry Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 But we did go into administration The football club was still trading out of administration. It was the club they were talking about and the only bit that mattered.
Trader Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 But we did go into administration That was SLH, not the club.

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.... As long as some justice is upheld, option 2 wouldn't be too bad IMHO. As long as it's not the "walk away scot-free on some absurd technicality and/or misleading of the court" that we're all dreading...

Winchester Red Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Thought this thread was the Portsmouth Takeover Saga.... have I gone to the wrong place?

pedg Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Olly Birch @ollybirchpfc Judge says chainrai was given debenture but no evidence why
hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 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. 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.
hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Cant believe two of our own have been trolled into discussing ML on today of all days. Eye on the ball guys. Apologies. Back on topic.
hutch Posted 17 February, 2012 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.
trousers Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Judge says AA gave advice to pompey on what they should do in last few months
Ohio Saint Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Judge says AA gave advice to pompey on what they should do in last few months He advised them to be a bunch of cheating fish fiddlers?
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 Damn this thread. I am working from home today meant to be making calls but this is enthralling and I cannot stop reading! I compare this to how my Mrs must feel when a really good episode of one of her tosh soaps is on TV and she is dead to the world in concentration to the TV!
SaintRichmond Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 That was SLH, not the club. Picky Picky Saints Football Team got docked 10 points NOT SLH

toofarnorth Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 What does that mean? Conflict of interest maybe? Was acting for them before so now cant be appointed.

hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 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.
LGTL Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 The interviews outside Fratton Park are fantastic. Comical stuff, I've never seen a bunch like that before.

St Jim Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 As mentioned before, today of all days is not the day to be discussing SFC of SLH on this thread. FOCUS GUYS!

Window Cleaner Posted 17 February, 2012 Posted 17 February, 2012 As mentioned before, today of all days is not the day to be discussing SFC of SLH on this thread. FOCUS GUYS! FOCUS GUYS, sounds like something PFC would have said to UHY. (as in "he's going to foacus", "what all of us")
rshephard3 Posted 17 February, 2012 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.
