Also no news of the court date for the appeal as yet. Given that AA wanted it to be before the end of July I am guessing that is a fairly faint hope?

They do not automatically get the FL approval it only allows them to ask and it would be so funny if they deliberately let half decent people go to get below 20 if the FL then said no.

Been to Oz a few times now. Loved Cairns, depending on how seasick you get you can go out on a boat to the great barrier reef, do some resort diving (i.e. minimal instruction as only a few feet down) then stay out on the boat overnight. Also the white water rafting is fun. Camping (of sorts) at Cape Tribulation (think its now this pace http://www.junglelodge.com.au/ as looks like it changed names since we were there). Mind the *****ly tree's an keep an eye on your food as my friend has his ginger nuts nibbled by the wildlife. Ayres rock and the olga's. Depending on your reverence to the local culture an interesting climb. Sydney, All the usual things. Don't know if its still there but one interesting restaurant was a hari krishna BYO restaurant where your meal came with free tickets to the cinema at the top (I think we saw face-off which rather dates when we were there) where you watch the film laying on the floor. When out to the blue montains one day when you can kill your thighs walking down some steps that go on for ages then come back up the worlds steepest funicular railway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katoomba_Scenic_World

Fairly sure they said they accepted his independence at the time but reserved the right to challenge it later, or was that something else?!

Man at the top came from the FA I believe where as the main rules pompey have to try and get round are FL ones.

If you were them and wanted to sign him would you: a) Ask the FA/FL for special dispensation before contacting his club b) Go all the way through to the end and then say to the FA/FL. "Look he's here, its all sorted we just need your rubber stamp"

I assume all the debts that were included in the CVA vote have been published such that HMRC could start going through them and trying to confirm their legitimacy? Maybe the attempt to get an early date is to minimise the chance of HMRC turning something incriminating up?

Im a punctuation rebel (or is that rebel without a pause?)

See Job's tried very hard to try and not admit any design flaws with the iphone 4 but then giving away the cases confirms they agree there is as the effect of the case improved the signal on the iphone by reducing the effect of touching the aerials where as on any other phone adding a case will reduce performance as in those cases its just another layer the signal has to go through.

Can someone explain how they only managed to lose 2-1 in the states given they don't appear to have any goalkeepers?!

I think most people will agree that it is silly that football creditors who are currently guaranteed to get their money back should be included in those who can vote on how much everyone else will get via the CVA. If HMRC can argue that one successfully pompey really are up the spout.

Plus by buying HTC you don't get satirised like this: (Not suitable for anyone adverse to swearing or who think the iphone is the best thing ever).

One assumes AA will be keen for it not to get to court then! If he does withdraw the CVA and sell the club whilst it is in administration does that automatically mean the court case will be cancelled? One part of HMRC's appeal appears to be that they claim AA did not follow the rules and if so surely even if the CVA is withdrawn it should still be investigated?

But luckily he has not put that down in writing ...

Indeed I can't understand why people think that if things happen without a CVA that the debt will disappear. If you ran up credit card debts you could not pay, offered the card company 20p in the pound but they rejected it would you say 'Ya suckers I'm debt free now'? CVA is a organised way to deal with a debt. If it does not happen then it reverts, as far as I am aware, to a more disorganised debt but still a debt. Without the creditors agreement you can't just say "Look here's 5p in the pound, now toddle off will you". If the administrator sells the company to someone else then I assume the debt goes with it and stays with it til its sorted on way or another?

almost as large as his stationary cupboard I believe.

Still got the facile comment section though. Strangely going via their home page and the page displays correctly.

Remembering that they could well get hit by more point deductions as a result of the tax avoidance cases.

and as has been said before coming out of admin without a CVA does not protect you from further legal challenges from your creditors (which is what the CVA is at least partially there to do).

Looks like they are going after them on 3 fronts..

Continuing the 'Many Faces of AA'.... AA tried to raise more money by busking with his harmonica

Depends if you live in the real world or in pompey world. In pompey world they will be bought by BC for a pittance within day and have to accept a 17 point deduction as their only punishment. In the real world any sale of the club without the CVA will still leave them open to legal action from creditors that could lead to liquidation.

according to the news...
