So, for a validation order to stand any chance of succeeding they have to give tangible evidence that the creditor's debt (who raised the WUP - I.e. HMRC) is going to be paid up in the immediate future....

"What fears - the players have shown their loyalty to this club this week by switching off mobile phones and being "unavaiable" to their agents and AA......With Appy the lads are united as Pompey players. We should all be very happy about that and grateful for their loyalty. It makes me feel proud to be a Pompey fan!! PUP!!"

Tumbleweed from the CSI Creditors meeting today then?

Interesting because I came to the opposite conclusion! I thought Lambert was definitely blocked from reaching the ball whereas i felt that Lallana 'made the most' of the challenge on him. Granted, Lallana's LOOKED worse...

@pn_neil_allen: #Pompey staff and players told they will have to wait longer for January wages with club yet to complete validation order.

Cheers. So, in summary, my work colleagues (and thousands like them) are talking b*****ks when they compare PFC's administration(s) to ours?

Rob Harris @RobHarrisUK 2012/13 Premier League Season to start on 18 August - 6 days after London Olympics end

^The inconvenient truth

Business or pleasure?

Not sure I agree with that.....the article says: "Milan Mandarić, Peter Storrie and Harry Redknapp kept the club in the Premier League long enough for Milan to be able to sell it on as going concern to the young Sacha Gaydamak in 2006. Milan walked away with a reputed £10m profit and Harry and Peter got access to what they seemed to believe were the unlimited funds of an Abramovich-style sugar-daddy owner. A happy spending spree on players way beyond the club’s means followed and Pompey ran out as FA Cup winners in 2008."

James Pearce @Pearcesport Breaking - Redknapp/Mandaric jury told that they will retire to consider their verdicts on Tuesday David Brown @DavidhBrown #Redknapp defence case finishes. Jury to return at 11.30am tomorrow to a different court - court 1

James Pearce @Pearcesport Bob Wilson's evidence very short. Told jury Redknapp is "amazing guy" who's always helped with Wilson's charity whenever requested David Brown @DavidhBrown#Redknapp supports Willow Foundation in memory of Bob Wilson's daughter by fundraising/meeting unwell young people

Good stuff....an absolutely superb summary of the last 1,000 pages or so on here....

David Brown @DavidhBrown #Redknapp on shares adviser: "I think he was trying to ruin me but I am a bit of a gambler so I kept trying." #Redknapp: "You think I put my hand on the bible, Mr Black, and told lies. That is an insult." #Redknapp: "I'm afraid I did invest in shares. I got my son over there (Jamie) almost wiped out." #Redknapp: "($45,000) is not peanuts to most people. No one has had it harder than me as a kid." #Redknapp (sarcastically): "Harry it's not going to benefit you but it will help poor Mr #Mandaric who is down to his last billion." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ James Pearce @Pearcesport Redknapp talking about his poor form with share dealing "I got my son wiped out nearly once" Redknapp "I'd never heard of shares until playing golf. Was recommended Firecrest. It was more firework. Went out like damp squib. Lost all" Prosecution : " I suggest you're telling pack of lies Mr Redknapp...You've come to this Court + twisted your account to get you off hook" Redknapp "You think that I put my hand on the bible and told lies? That's an insult. I've told you no lies.... I don't do that" Redknapp "I might tell Mr Beasley (NOTW) lies but I don't tell this Court lies" Redknapp "I'm the most ungreedy person you ever met - ever, ever. Give me bible back and I'll put my hand back on it" More laughter as Redknapp talks about Rosie again. "I don't ever like calling her a dog. She was better than that" Voices raised as prosecution finish cross exam. Redknapp asks why Mandaric needed help on tax when he was "only down to his last billion" Prosecution have finished questions for Redknapp. Judge now asking questions to R. Judge asking more about what R said to News of World Redknapp: "Everything I've told you has been the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me God" Redknapp has finished evidence. Now his defence team has just called Arsenal's Bob Wilson to give evidence

Ok, yep...so a company that goes into administration only needs a CVA if all the debts can't be cleared at the time of takeover? Got it. Cheers. Just off to 'own' my colleagues :-)
