TopGun Posted 21 February, 2013 Share Posted 21 February, 2013 The question is....why do PKF feel they need further clarification from the Football League when the Football League have made it 100% clear (twice) that they won't entertain any other bid. It's almost as if PKF don't want it to go to court.... That was my initial take also. I think they'd love to be able to deal with Harris. Must make for an uncomfortable relationship between PKF and PST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 21 February, 2013 Share Posted 21 February, 2013 Do any of our legal eagles on here know for sure whether Portpin would automatically have the right to appeal if the court agrees with the Trust's valuation? If it's a certainty that they have that legal right then it's "game over", surely? I'd say there's no doubt that they can appeal a High Court decision that goes against them. That's a right available in almost all civil cases. In fact above the High Court, there is the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court. Portpin can play this out for ages. http://www.supremecourt.gov.uk/about/role-of-the-supreme-court.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 21 February, 2013 Share Posted 21 February, 2013 The Football League have said publicly that they will not consider any other bid at this late stage after a late offer from football financier Keith Harris. And PST spokesman Colin Farmery says their own correspondence with the League has made that clear to them. "Ambiguity is probably a good word to use," Farmery told BBC Radio Solent. "Our understanding is that the Football League has been very clear on two occasions that at this late stage they will not consider any other bid in order to transfer the share. "It was an interesting development and at Pompey we always expect the unexpected. "PKF obviously want to clear this matter up and I am not party to correspondence between the Football League and Portpin. "From the Trust perspective our conversations with the Football League have been very clear on this point and we see no reason why that would have changed."
