Why does he agree that HMRC should meet with them!? If a company doesn't pay its taxes it should be subject to a winding up order! Cameron sending out the wrong message there I'm afraid

Perhaps I'm being vindictive by can anyone who knows better and more than me (most of you) tell me why the Football League have done nothing and why this club have not be docked any ****ing points. They couldn't wait to hammer Luton Town into the ground, Bournemouth and too a lesser extent us so what is different about this? It is PFC that are subject of a winding up order and it is PFC who haven't paid their tax bill.

 

I really don't understand.

Good point. You would think there would be more discussion on this subject.

Re-posted what I placed on the Lounge/takeover thread.

 

Just imagine if Saints supporters did the right thing for Portsmouth and decided to raise money for their Club or its rebirth? Gone at a stroke would be the years of bitter animosity. In one single act the prestige of Saints would also jump up. Because they are down is the time for some Saints samaritans.

 

Are we not big enough to do the right thing?

The right thing? Seriously, you need to have a read of the takeover thread. This isn't a club that has mistakenly fallen on hard times. This is a club that has gone out of its way to cheat & gain an unfair advantage over all the other clubs its competing against. Then, when caught red handed, they've carried on doing the same thing again. The right thing would be to put them out of business, I'd certainly help do that if I can!

OK what have we done to deserve this? I can't stand the pillock. Perhaps Dune can rustle up some support for his idol? Pompey are in a complete mess and should be docked points just like we were. Is there some reference to 'Tax Avoidance' here?

If only there was a thread to discuss PFC and their financial situation...

It's all well and good having the P*mpey takeover thread, I genuinely do see its merits. However, some of us don't have the time to keep up with it (and believe me I tried a few weeks ago) so appreciate the occasional update on the main board. I may not have found out about this otherwise, and in turn not emailed number 10 about what was said. So leave out the clever comments

That prat Cameron,has as much knowledge on football,as he does running this country,which should be his overriding concern. I did not vote for the tories either,never have and never will,not even if they were the only party in the country,hate them.

As much as I think we need the rivalry,what other business with original debts of 140,000000 pounds would or should survive. Our debts of the mortgage of the stadium,pale into insignifance against that vast ammount.

Torys love bankers, bankers love big debts, big debts love Pompey.

Forgetting Political views for a moment.

 

Can anyone ever remember an acting PM actually mentioning US in Parliament before today?

 

Other than that.

 

Wish there was somewhere I could post my opinions about the financial situation down the road though

B*ll*cks. They'd hate us even more for saving them.

 

Look at the nastiness that comes from Bournemouth fans whenever we go near them, and we've propped them up loads of times.

It would make for some great 'We Own You' chants though :)

John Denham sits in front of me at SMS, think i might tell him to get off his seat next time some Tory squeal bleats about 'poor old Pompey' and remind 'The House' what they are there for and what The HMRC are there for!

Why is there so much official sympathy for the cheating, tax-avoiding scumbags? Maybe it's because MPs are of the same ilk?

 

If any of us didn't pay our taxes we'd get short shrift from HMRC and no support from Cameron et al....

Thought it would be good to fire off an email to my local MP as she's a tory and point out a few of the ironies of the blokes speech.

 

That and point out why he felt it necessary to save pomp by left Plymouth slide or the list of non-league teams being hammered for a few grand. (Darlington, Kettering, St Albans City and so on)
