landford.saint Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Listening to their new Chief Idiot In Charge McInnes .... In interview, avoided question that they had to pay more for club, and had to pay back over a period of time. Starting in debt already..... Also average crowd of 12,500 not enough to keep Skates FC solvent. Interesting times ahead for us nutjobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm, isn't that after the season finishes???????????????? If they are aiming to complete on 29th April then they could be backing up what I've been banging on about for a couple of months now..... that the FL set a deadline of 30th April (as per their letter to all other FL clubs that I was told about) rather than the date of the last game (27th April).... whether that means they can weasel out of the -10 being applied this season seems doubtful but it seems like they are going to take it as close to the deadline as they can from what Judd says there...for whatever reason that may be....

Tamesaint Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Don't they have pretty strict fair play wage restrictions in League Two?? If so, I guess they will have to wait to buy Messi until they have jumped back up a league or two!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Amazing that this time there is a football fan who is a judge,when they were i court before the judges wouldn't know what football was. Reading the few tweets it seemed to me that Chanrai jumped the gun by arranging a deal.The judge didn't seem to be on Pompeys side at that time.

Joensuu Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Can I congratulate the skates on potentially becoming the 'biggest' (and 'bestest') fan owned (well, partially fan owned) club in the lower leagues (NB, I'd say Swansea hold this mantle in the upper leagues, and the world-wide crown is held by Real). It seems to me that they are now allowed to buy their own ground, for a currently undisclosed price which might be around the £3m mark. All they need to do now to survive is actually complete the sale in the next 19 days. To do this, all they will need to do is collect the pledged cash from their fanbase. Oh, and hope that a certain former owner doesn't appeal against the process, and if he does that this appeal is spead through the legal system and heard within the next 19 days. To add to the excitment over the next three weeks, we will also find out which league, and on how many points, the skates will be allowed to start next season, if at all. Will the get the just penalty they deserve, or will they earn the anger of their peers, and find another loophole to exploit? Today's result might not be what some were hoping to see, but I'm chuffed. 'Hope' is restored, while there are plenty of twists and turns yet. Will the skates fail to fund their purchase? Will Balram hit them with a late appeal? Will the league grow some mawhinney's again and actually punish them? IF the skates survive the next few weeks unscathed, anyone know the odds on another administration within the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
