Koeman: "No injuries to players reporting back from international duty" Koeman: "Another 7 or 8 weeks before JRod will be back to full training" Koeman: "There is no chance to move out of this club. They will have to wait for me" (re: managing the Dutch national side)

Out of idle curiosity, I just had a look at the Companies House website and can see that "Portsmouth Community Football Club" satisfied/cleared 2 of the 5 charges on Nottarf Krap last month (23rd September) but the other 3 charges remain in place. Those 3 are for the PFA. Didn't they recently announce that they had cleared all "legacy debts" and doesn't the retention of these charges suggest otherwise? Might just be a time lag thing of course. Just wondering...
