What was stopping him naming names at the time? What's changed to prompt him to go public with it today? The fact that PSV have formally turned it down maybe? (Sorry, too many dumb questions in one post!)

Can you two keep on topic please?

How do we know they didn't?

Any chance of a journo actually asking who this 'mystery' 3rd party is?

One man's indifference is another man's pragmatism.

Hush my friend....you'll give the game away if you're not careful.... Under no circumstances would I urge you to send that link to the requested email address and copy in the Football League.

Indeed. So, we have one jury that thought he was guilty and another jury that thought he wasn't. So, overall, divided opinion. Just because one verdict happened chronologically before the other doesn't automatically give the first verdict any precident over the second, and of course visa versa. All we're looking at here is different opinions of different human beings, not some kind of cataclysmic breakdown of the legal system

He was tried by his peers. A system that has been in place for centuries. Disagreeing with the opinion of 12 people doesn't make it a "disgraceful" verdict. It simply makes it a different verdict to the one you would have come up with. Just my opinion of course.

Some interesting parallels in this blog about the head-in-sand mentality of Rangers fans.... http://oldpesky.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/tae-see-oursels-as-others-see-us.html?spref=tw

That article is suggesting that we've actually tabled a bid whereas the Sky article was alluding to us just making an enquiry (I think).... This might be more advanced (one way or the other) than we think?

Titter ye not

Both...

Not guilty... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18900484

I think Hutch was on the right lines about this earlier.... So, are they trying to get around it by saying to the Football League...."look, we tried to get the 2010 creditors to agree to 2012, just like you asked, but it's not our fault that only 17% of them bothered to reply...." ?

I like the cut of your jib sir

"Minutes" would have been more appropriate, surely?

The club have a media policy that is specifically designed to annoy less than 1% of the fan base. Fact.

I just watched it. I'm inclinded to use 'stocky' rather than 'chubby'. I think there's more muscle than fat on his frame to be fair...

Thinking about it, aren't we all technically creditors of the 2010 CVA? Us being tax payers and all that....

Any idea what this is all about? Sounds like Birch has been tinkering with the original creditors report? GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @SuppDirect still waiting to hear Lampitt has withdrawn his £250k claim after calling the FC rule unfair ‪#pompey‬‪#lampittout‬ GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @fcryanhttp://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/p … £250k is listed on the report given PKF, and Mr Lumpitt tried to justify it here http://www.supporters-direct.org/news/item/inde …% Ryan McKnight ‏@fcryan @GazzaTowns I've done some digging on this and DL has commented on the issue on the SD website. Also, his claim is not 250k GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @fcryan on the 8th of June when this was released by PKF his claim was £231k, http://www.pkf.co.uk/web/pkf.nsf/9B … this link is now dormant GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @fcryan the 'personal' claim is for £21k, I expect the balance now forms part of the FC amount as this has gone up,also same as John Regate GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @fcryan another director who was claiming £137k on the pdf released 8th June. AGAIN fans are LIED to, LAMPITT ISNT FIT TO BE CEO of SD GazzaTowns ‏@GazzaTowns @colinfarmery Care to shed some light on why on the 8th June DL claim was £231k, and now the same amended doc is showing £21k? ‪#pompey

How will they vet the validity of anyone emailing them if they don't know who the creditors are in the first place? Can't they simply ask Baker Tilly for a list....?

Looks like shiť or bust time has arrived. Risky strategy to take on the FL, so clearly there is no buyer unless the sanctions are lifted. Not just the points, that's the least of their worry. Also interesting to resort to pleading on the OS. They could have just asked Baker Tilley nicely for the information they want. Or maybe they did. I can see vans out all over Portsea with those megaphone loudhailers on the roof, searching desparately for last-minute creditors.
