Yeah crap result tonight, now we are all but down.

 

Well done for getting to Wembley

 

Its all about Saturday now. At least we can show you we are the better football side.

 

You won't be a football club come Saturday.

 

5 Live are saying talks with HMRC have broken down.

 

Wind up Pompey Pompey Wind Up.

 

Bye Bye.

According to SSN Pompey are going to High Court to seek a 28 day extension.

 

Rumour has it Avram and Storrie were seen in Forbuoys spending the petty cash on the Euro lottery rollover...they got 2 tickets each.

 

Gotta love the spin on that. It's as though the court case is pompey's idea, and they're taking HMRC to court!

Storrie comes accross as a wheeler dealer ****ney wide boy. I bet HMRC have seen his type countless times before.

Presumably a 28-day extension plea would involve a minimum sum of £1.8m being paid immediately and the remaining immediate part that can't be agreed on with HMRC (let's estimate £1.2m) now going to the judge.

 

Super high risk strategy of sh!t or bust...

 

It would appear to indicate that BC is not prepared to gamble any more of his own money at this stage. He must be confident that the judge will offer 28 days for them to consider their options.

Another 4 weeks of fun on this thread though.

Seems it is getting to poor old Avram

 

Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Sunderland, Grant intimated he felt the club are fighting on many fronts including the officiating, after he confronted referee Kevin Friend at half-time.

 

He said: "We are fighting not just against the opponent, but many situations - even the referees.

 

"Today there were two clear penalties for us. I must say, I'd had enough. I can only fight against so many things. Sometimes it is too much.

 

"I must say I like this referee and the referees in England. But not in the last 10 days."

 

He continued: "The players and the fans were great today.

 

"It is not easy. Imagine you have problems in your work. Could you go to your work with a clear head.

 

"This club needs to stay alive. This is a traditional English club."

Now they are trying to bribe judges? Desparate times.

 

:rolleyes:

if all goes well tomorrow, not only can they get the open top bus out to celebrate the point against Sunderland but they could afford to put some diesel in it to drive about a bit and look for the missing 200,000.

 

Best fans in the world? I think they're in for a shock on Saturday if they think they are coming to a friendly little place like Wigan or Bolton.

 

We might not have a Premiership side but St Marys will be a new experience for some of their guys, let's wind it up a few notches from tonight's great showing and give them a proper welcome.

cba to scan the thread, someone just answer these:

 

1- how many are on the winding up petition?

2- is admin guarenteed?

3- how likely is it, they will be wound up tomorrow?

 

1. I don't think we know how many because different reports say different things. Portsmouth say they have paid some of them so who knows.

 

2. Admin is guranteed if they can't reach an agreement with the taxman. Which looks certain now.

 

3. This is the million dollar question. It really depends on how bad the finances really are and how likely it is that the money owed can be paid. If the judge looks at the accounts and figures and it looks like a bottomless money pit then they have to pull the plug.

The judge in the case has pulled the plug before at a club so i don't think they will be afraid to make that decision again.

However i think they could go into the case and be granted a couple more weeks. They will only get that if they can proove a takeover is nearly done and the person coming in actually intends to pay the debts. If they don't have that they will have it rejected.

If they say that then i think it is now certain. They have a wide scope of contacts.

 

It is interesting to read also about the league rules that have come into place and ones which are about to come into place, like the league being able to place salary caps on clubs in deep ****.

TBF you should still beat us on the football side.

 

Well done for getting 16K + fans.

 

We had some 500 MK Plastics in among our crowd.

 

How many Mackems came down to your game?

 

More than 500 I'd hazard a guess!
