Now, I would never say this in the context of British Business Practices, but in a Mediteraneanish Middle Easternish Orientish environment I would expect the conversation over dinner to go possibly along the lines of. How much are your fees going to be? Only that much? Ah so if I was to win how much would they be? Never happens outside this region though

HMRC said they want admin but they "I paraphrase" think the set up and characters may be a little fishy" They would view a Court Appointment as a victory

no sh1t Sherlock! Well done chaps score another win to the The Thread's legal team.

http://twitter.com/bbc_matt OMG Shock News Just in Poopey owner in Proof of Funds shocker!

You know, I suddenly feel some sympathy. We haven't taken a moment to stop and spare a thought for people who's lives will be ruined by the events so far today. Let us just wish all those reading the days' events when they get in from work tonight great strength and fortitude and may we hope that they have not sprayed too much tea/coffee/beer over their keyboards/screens. I also think that we should get some T-Shirts made. I was there when the skates went to court.

You don't know what you're doing.....

Anyone else lost the feed from the News? I had a web blink out but that hasnn't come back up

Well it will probably come in handy to bribe the prison guards with (allegedly)

Well, that sends us into another week and onwards to the magical 25,000 mark. I love the way that at no point in that address to the court have they made any allegations, they simply painted a picture. That Brief would make a hell of a salesman. So, the next step on here must be a review of all the evidence to date, a re-assessment to ensure that we believe HMRC have asked all the valid questions and back here again on Monday. I cannnot see anyway that they can answer all that now and so they have to accept coming back and then they are in 50:50 land. Someone send Android Leon's email address, he's gonna need some real professional Churchillian Speeches after this little day out

Bad - It's Fatal The FD says the club never had the money from Chanrai. he used the word Her EVIDENCE The money went to Falcondome. ie Chanrai is a creditor of Falcondrone NOT PCFC So he cannnot put them into admin so the WUO hearing should have happened yesterday But the Brief is playing it much smarter than that

Ooops. And that choice of words again "Mysterious" Poor old Pompey will now have to read through the transcript and refute every single Curioser, Mysterious, "Set of circumstances" Rather than allegations. Oh and Chanrai isn't owed 17mil? how strange THAT is. I wonder how much the cost of admin was going to be? Let me see 17 - 13.8 looks like about yep

And facing him across the Court Room is Mr Android with a nice Parker Pen. But I was sure we were only coming here today to cross the I's and dot the t's. If anyone had any doubts as to who is pulling his strings, that very press comment could ONLY have been written by one man... Pieces of paper by the looks of things.

Interpretation so far. HMRC believe that this is a fix. They believe the admin is a con. They believe like many on here tried to theorise that there were too many fishy pieces in the jigsaw puzzle. They believe that the Administrator "May have his hands tied due to the financial nature of the agreement to pay his fees" So far in their Lawyer speak they have been polite but incredibly caustic in their comments. They believe that the whole shebang is a crock of lastminute.com firt year law student dreamt up Karp. You can almost feel Mitchell grinning inside as he makes his speech and waits for the perfect moment to deliver the coup de grace. Not how I expected it to go at all really did not expect the theatre and drama. Mitchell didn't write this speech in 18 hours! Ouch

PMSL - surely the News Feed Comments section has been hacked by Saints Fans I find myself cheering HMRC on I am begining to Like Mr Mitchell And the comment about the appointment "There may be issues that they have not put their minds to..." Which is Lawyer speak for FAIL

48 minutes gone but on the News feed only a few sentences. Must be using Saintsplayer feed with all the pauses! Has the reporter died of shoc? or is he having a cup of tea? Anything on any other live feeds to fill in the gaps

That is now taken as confirmed, hence why Admin, who by law has to dispose of anything of any value to pay off the debts. He needs to ask the PL how that can be be done. 38mil - Don't you love Storrie teller. Hope he did not put that in the SoA

And finally a Fewer posts a call that it is time the Fraud Squad were called in. So, this is going to take time. That sounds like an injunction or adjournment. HMRC have challenged the Admin Credentials. What on earth can they Propose? Who is going to run the club while the investigation is carried out? Can they appoint a Court Officer? Hmmm

the actions taken and the statements made at the end of last week will now come under very close scrutiny. How was Android chosen? What deal did Chanrai do to fund the adminsitrators cost? Why did Storrie hang around? It seems that almost every question that we raised on here (and some of the few & the media) is now being asked IN COURT and under Oath. Ouch

Kerching

Which strangely doesn't sound at all as if they are there to ask about a few pieces of paper. Hmmm

Yep bit of an uh oh there

Just a moment. The case is expected to take two hours. Yet HMRC only gave them around 18 hours notice to prepare for the hearing. That sounds like it would need more than a few photocopies as evidence.

It's all too difficult isn't it

hmmm
