Am I being dumb or isn't it supposed to be the 12th man :?

Well that's a nice little tit bit ahead of next weeks court case. I am not surprised he didn't get much as I am sure to date he hasn't seen a penny, but assuming "Not much" is 30% or there abouts, that's another 1 million on top of the 8 million of other compromised agreements to add to the pot.

Whilst I think that pst will now ultimately take control, I don't think Chinny is in the mood for doing a deal - Unless the pst offer an extra 2 million to deal ahead of the court case. I am also sure there is another twist yet to come. What if pkf win the court case and then chinny appeals? What if Chinny sues pkf? As per where I started, the end game is nigh, but this old girl, has a couple more laughs for us yet.

The times of sand have a way of exaggerating memories when it comes to football, but there is a goal I have never seen since the night it was scored, that looked incredible. Luton Vs Saints midweek league cup game (Or whatever if was called that particular year) Glen Cockerill dying minutes to earn a draw back at The Dell (Which of course we lost) Can't find it anywhere, but it was a cracker from a stupid angle (As I remember it - but will probably turn out to be a tap in) ... Can anyone help

In pure footballing terms, they will serve as both judge and jury. A line-up of eight men convening to rule where Pompey will be playing football the following season – and at what points cost. All eyes will be on the High Court hearing between PKF and Portpin to set the valuation of Fratton Park on April 10 or 11. If the figure is satisfactory to the Portsmouth Supporters’ Trust, the club can come out of administration with new owners at the helm. Then it will be down to the Football League board, headed by chairman Greg Clarke, to pass their own judgement. At the top of the Pompey agenda will be granting membership, that so-called ‘golden share’ which will permit the Blues to remain in League football. If the club are out of administration, that represents a formality. League chiefs satisfied with the Trust and its business plan. What isn’t so straightforward is the issue of a points deduction – a threat which has lay on record since July 12, 2012. Way back then it was anticipated to be enforced during the 2012-13 campaign – yet nobody expected the Blues to still be in administration now. The fear is this could be carried over until next season, particularly if Pompey have already been relegated. The decision will rest entirely with the Football League board – and after that April court hearing. The League have refused to comment when that will be, although usually a scheduled meeting is held once a month. Hopefully it will be long before the Football League AGM on June 6. Those men with the power consist of Clarke, six club directors and independent non-executive director Richard Bowker. The League’s executive will deliver their recommendations – then it is down to the octet to determine when the points deduction will be issued. Bowker is a transport business specialist who made the shortlist to become the Football Association boss in 2005. The six club directors are divisional representatives elected by member clubs, with three from the Championship, two from League One and one from League Two. They include Jeff Mostyn, an ex-Bournemouth chairman and current vice chairman of Pompey’s south coast rivals. A well-respected figure in the game, he was last year elected to the FA Council as a representative of the Football League. Then there is Crystal Palace chief executive Phil Alexander, a former player with Norwich who later turned to American Football, representing the London Monarchs. Tony Kleanthous is the Barnet chief and the youngest chairman to enter the League when he bought the club in 1994. John Nixon is Carlisle’s managing director and former managing director of Pirelli Tyres. Keith Lamb is a former Middlesbrough chief executive who stepped down from the role in 2011 but has remained in the position of non-executive director to Steve Gibson. Finally, Shaun Harvey is the long-serving chief executive of Leeds and a former managing director of Bradford City. Not forgetting Clarke, of course, chairman of the Football League since March 2010 and a Leicester City season-ticket holder. As ever, the Pompey situation is groundbreaking, with no definitive legislation to consult. According to rule 12.3.3 of the Football League handbook, should a club be ‘subject to or suffers an Insolvency Event, or the Board impose a deduction’ before 5pm on the fourth Thursday in March it will come off that season. That would be March 28 – missing that would signal a points deduction the following year. However, that ‘insolvency event’ applies to entering administration and the League have confirmed to The News that does not apply here. Pompey’s punishment actually centres on an unsatisfactory CVA first time around. Therefore, it is entirely at the board’s discretion over the application of that points deduction. They are also under pressure to serve the 71 other Football League clubs, of which few have any sympathy for Pompey and their continued plight. There is little goodwill among their rivals and punishment is demanded. Whether the Blues being deducted points, having already been relegated, qualifies as being disciplined is debatable. Certainly many would disagree and demand them carried over into what is appearing to be League Two football next year. Of course, that Football League board meeting may instead centre on throwing Pompey out. That hinges on whether the club have come out of administration before the season’s end, an ambiguous date the League will not clarify at present. It’s a scenario the Blue Square Bet Conference have already looked at and I understand they would willingly take on Pompey. Before then games in the High Court must be played out in a hearing scheduled for two days. In addition, the judge will be able to take the weekend to come to his conclusion. The ‘longstop’ date of April 19 is set in stone and the case must be decided by then. Should there be a dispute over the judgment, it is down to the judge during his delivery of the verdict to stress whether an appeal can be made. Regardless of the outcome, the Football League will be next in line to dictate Pompey’s future. And it will be in the hands of those eight men on one board.

They didn't make the short list - This selectionwas between one of two companies and they weren't invloved.

I don't know why it would pain people and absolutely he has been pivitol to this journey. I have heard the horror stories and despair at some of his actions, but ultimately he will be judged on the clubs success and todate, he has delivered on everything he claimed he would. Cortese at Southampton Football Club, is a stunning success story. From a business perspective, the total outlay from buying the club, to where we are now is 37 million (Might be 34 or 38, but it is around that number) plus howver much this loan is. I wouldnt even try and hazard a guess as to what the asset is worth now, but I think it is fair to say, it is quite considerably more. You don't have to like the bloke to recognise, how far he has bought this club.

Actually Mark Dennis broke the news first on "The Saint", two days before it was publically announced. It was posted on here and dismissed out of hand :)

The parent company of Saints was put in administration (Saw that snippet on twitter, so am assuming it is correct - And definately around this time) What a four year rollocoaster ride!! Personally speaking the painful times have made the good times even better. ..............And to think the ride has only just started.

Pompey Trust ‏@pompeytrust36m The 2 day court case will start on either 10th or 11th April. If you have any questions about that or anything else about PST use #askthepst

Yeah and we won it - although the ball ended up back with chelsea. I wasn't aware that you can pick the ball up if you fall over, BUt seems you can if your name is terry or torres.

Thought he (Ref) had a good game today. Terry is a little ****, but the ref stayed strong.

Well I make that relegation now. The sha la la at fratton park was the lowest point of my footballing life. 5 years later, we own the song, the South Coast is Ours and arsehole of hampshire is one step away from non league football. It's a beautiful thing.

We lost again.

That would worry the **** out of me if I were a pompey fan, but as I am not and neither is allen, I guess we can orget about it.

Le Tiss was the higest ever fantasy point scorer as a midfielder at one point. Don't know if he still holds that record. Another useless fact

Afraid not Patred. The minus ten is for failing to service (As in pay a single penny) towards the orginal CVA. There are no rules or dates associated to this with in the FA or FL's rulebook. The points will be deducted at the point in which they exit adminstration as this will formally ratify CVA 1 as failed.

Your'e never going to believe this Rallyboy, but seems old appy is no longer a hero in portsea anymore....... They always knew he was ****e :? http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=489083

If you get a group saver train ticket, it works out 19 pound an adult and 2 quid a kid, including tube (MIght have gone up a bit in January) and is the easiest trip possible. Direct to Waterloo and four stops of the tube without changing. Not sure what petrol and parking would cost, but I would take the train every time. Stick the kids in the concert and then you gave have a beer as well, while you wait.

I wish him all the best and fully expect him to take the reading job. There is of course the "new manager syndrome" but that can work both ways and NA's style of football, isn't something you pick up from one or two training sessions. It evolves over time and I am not sure how many of the current reading squad are suited to it (That's because I genuinely don't know as opposed to questioning their ability). When I was hoping for an immeadiate impact from Adkins, when he joined us, I was served up the dross that was MK Dons away. We are stronger and better than reading, regardless who their manager is, we should have enough about us to, at worse, not lose the match.

Pochettino talking away with Rodgers before the match (I assume Rodgers doesn't speak spainish)
