@ollybirchpfc: RT @CarlSpangled: I've been in a txt conversation with Andronikou - will make his replies public later on today. Just waiting for him to stop ranting!

Anonymous people on computers linked up by bits of wire and stuff. HTH

A human being doing what he wants to do on a Saturday afternoon? That definition of a "loss" is a new one on me.

Plenty of fans from other football clubs on TalkSport "getting it" and slagging off Pompey for not cutting their cloth. Shame it's taken 2 years for the penny (pun intended) to drop. Matt Porter (CEO Leyton Orient) now on, saying pretty much the same thing.

Go for it :-)

A livid Bristol City fan now on TalkSport. Durham now praising how Southampton handled their administration....cut their cloth...got relegated....re-grouped and came back up healthier

Here's a thought.....Could Chainrai technically prevent Portsmouth Football Club (2010) gaining access to "his" football ground from here on in if he so desired....?

What, you mean even Mr Cala or Big Ron's Leatherware could afford to buy them now....?

Adrian Durham tearing into Pompey as we speak. "Portsmouth have cheated yet again". I've always liked Durham.

See re-post above

This is how it was reported by a Pompey fan from the court... "Judge says chainrai was given debenture but no evidence why " http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=1276891#post1276891

So, in other words, far easier to cut to the chase and go for liquidation....?

Lord Sugar@Lord_Sugar Portsmouth FC goes bust 2nd time . Bet they will be playing on Sat, business as usual. Strange insolvency laws for football. JOKE !

Yes thanks. That horse I was on was far too high for my liking.... ;-)

The Judge, in making his decision, has stood up for local and small business' that have been badly affected by successive Administrations. We are pleased that PKF have been appointed as they have a proven track record of successfully working with football clubs in trouble. Penny Mordaunt wrote to HMRC asking them to oppose UHY as Administrators this time round, this is what she had to say and in particular about the PST. "It is vital that the administrator appointed makes use of all the opportunities to provide the maximum return to creditors, including HMRC. This must include engagement with the Pompey Supporters’ Trust and the wider community. PST, ably supported by Supporters Direct, has much to offer: it has built a huge network of support and it has the capacity to rapidly survey its contacts in order to raising funds for a community buy-out. At other clubs supporters’ trust members have volunteered to fulfil roles vacated by staff so that games can proceed and revenue is not lost. I have no confidence that UHY Hacker Young would properly or genuinely work with the Trust. This has been demonstrated by UHY Hacker Young’s refusal to allow the Trust access to the Club’s financial information to enable it to prepare a bid to buy a stake in the Club unless it could demonstrate that it had access to £100m." The PST believe that the time has come for Portsmouth Football Club to be owned by the City and Community, and a new model of ownership should be developed which will make sure the shameful events of the past few years are not repeated. Pompey fans never want to see their club in court in these circumstances again. ENDS

Damn, damn and thrice damn. I've been outwitted on an interweb footie forum. Yet more woe is bestowed upon my very being. How I will ever recover from such abject humiliation is difficult to tell.

According to Lampitt & AA (*chortle*), I thought Pompey had a cashflow problem, not a debt problem per se....?

^This. Plus those James Blunt tickets cost an arm and a leg. Not to mention Spamalot at the Victoria Theatre in Woking last weekend. Woe is me for having a social life that is less dull than going to watch football every other week....

Good call that man. My bank details are below. If you'd be so kind to transfer £100 into there this afternoon I'll book a couple of tickets this evening. Sort Code: 77-56-21 Account Number: 158023369 Bank: Lloyds TSB Thanks.

@pn_neil_allen: Seems there were actually UHY staff at Fratton today when news filtered in of chosen #Pompey administrator. Oh dear, pack up your files.

In other news, another potential suitor for Pompey has been thwarted.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17076378

Emma Judd@pn_Emma_Judd Football League says #Pompey points loss will be discussed at its next disciplinary meeting, date to be arranged. Statement will be issued. This can only mean that it's not a simple case of "-10" then. Of course, that's not to say it won't end up being -10 but this tells me there is a desire for a greater punishment IMO

Any insider information on the religion of the Pope?

How about the £17m that Portsmouth Football Club (2010) Ltd owe CSI.....? You know, the loan from Portpin that the judge thought sounded a bit dubious.....
