I think he will still be too young to be included. Needs to be 16 and he is 15.

He'll have a long wait if he doesn't sell the club. The payments of parachute money goto football creditors until they are paid off.

Impressive he is being called up to play up an age group at international level.

If they have done a deal why have they said today they are "considering their position"? If a deal had been done it would be over today and there would be nothing to consider. Thus no deal.

I think we should petition the club to ban them. Some are bound to find their way in next season.

Tony Husband on BBC South Today just said that someone from HMRC during the meeting asked in front of everyone why their debt was reduced in voting rights AA refused to comment. Very strange not to do so if he has a valid reason that he is comfortable about. Why not just say in front of everyone at the meeting?

Someone could have a lot of fun with that and photoshop. You could have a competition.

I'd rest at most three players for the Bournemouth cup game. Maybe give Bialkowski a game and try a different partner from the first League game (Barnard or Connolly) with Lambert and a different winger on one of the flanks. Important the team get used to playing with each other and winning together so you don't want to disrupt it too much.

Surely they can't sign new players, offer existing players contracts or appoint a manager during the 28 cooling off period? So the transfer embargo can't be lifted on 1st July. Would have to wait until cooling off period has expired without incident on 15th July.

Did you think that with Leeds? HMRC waited until the last possible moment of the 28 day cooling off period and the CVA collapsed even though Leeds got 75.4%. Looks like nickh is coming around to the other side now after HMRC's response in the Guardian...

By no means over! Response from HMRC... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/17/portsmouth-exit-administration-cva

The meeting starts at 11am at Fratton Park according to the CVA document all creditors recieved. As for when we'll hear anything, no one really knows as it depends what happens.

No they don't.

Saints could potentially play Bournemouth 9 times in competitive games next season! Lots of banter to be had if that happened.

Hopefully ticket details released in next couple of weeks.

If they did it would make the taxman's vote against the CVA look pointless and silly. HMRC are too clever to made to look silly in public when they can't help it, which if AA has his way they will. Maybe they have yet to reveal their trump card and are holding it back until the last minute to ensure minimal wriggling.

I think Pompey's situation is quite accurately portrayed on 10.3 with all the available information at the time. As pointed out by FMPR above, he is far from optimistic with the situation. I tried managing them and was hard to do anything unless you had a firesale due to the staggered loan repayments.

It was a genuine question. It wasn't a dig at you or the site.

Have you brought the rights to publish them Steve? It is very costly. You should warn people not to post them if you haven't. As they hunt you down, as shown with other internet sites getting into a lot of trouble. It is a big revenue stream for the Football League selling the fixture rights and they really don't like them anywhere other than on publications/websites that have paid.

Leeds got 75.4% of the CVA vote and they still had their decision contested and Leeds lost leading to -15 points. http://www.accountancyage.com/accountancyage/news/2195698/leeds-enters-league-without-cva Same may apply to Pompey with the "exceptional circumstances" clause used again. I would imagine there would be alot of Football League clubs upset if they are on 0 points and start signing Tottenham and Arsenal players on loan and sign the England keeper in a new deal.

If HMRC are willing to reject in order to get a better deal, they won't let this drop. They will contest AA saying they have under 25%.

Tie of the round! http://www.football-league.co.uk/carlingcup/news/20100616/carling-cup-round-1-draw_2245684_2071780

I've asked an Italian speaker and they have confirmed that the article says it means Fiorentina and Genoa co-own him and Fiorentinta want to buy out Genoa's share so they can sell him to Southampton.

In Italy you can have a situation where a player is co-owed by two clubs although only registered to play for one. Papa Waigo is it "seems" co-owned by Fiorentina AND Genoa. The article in the opening post of this thread I think is suggesting that Fiorentina plan to buy out Genoa's half of Papa Waigo so they fully own him and then sell him to Saints.

The best sign ever!
