This is as I understand it as well - could somebody (Weston Saint) perhaps confirm where they currently stand. Have HMRC simply accepted that their is no conflict of interest between the appointed administrator and the club, but will continue look to recoup the outstanding monies owed through the courts? Or has the whole case been dropped? Sorry I'm a little confused as they were 'toast' yesterday but appear to have a 'get out of jail' card today.

Hey congratulations Pancake - will you be doing a 'Big Mod, Little Mod' routine on here anytime soon...?

Happy clappy here - never really expected promotion this year. Enjoying having a stable, forward thinking club on the up, and winning more than we lose. Expect another season of much the same - would like to keep the squad together for next year and see where that takes us. If we aren't there or thereabouts come the end of next season, then perhaps it's time for change. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

But that's exactly the point - we can. You don't get it do you - I suggest you read Phils post of a couple of days ago, which highlights the basics. (Cant be assed to go find it now). HMRC have had enough of trying through fair means to get you to pay your dues - you owe them millions, however you have no money to pay because it has all been spent on players and player wages. You should not have players that you cannot afford. A high court judge has said that she suspects that you have been trading whilst insolvent - you have been living beyond your means - you have been playing players that you cannot afford. That is toutamont to cheating. Therefore, once again you have bought the cup with money that should have gone elsewhere. Had you payed your debts and taxes, you would not have the playing staff that you currently do, ergo you probably would not have achieved the results that you have. Personally I couldn't give a stuff about you knocking us out of the cup - unlikely that we were going to win it anyway. However, the likes of Birmingham who might have a better chance of success could feel very agrieved about the situation. I sincerely hope you go on to win the cup - won by a club that has lied, cheated and decieved it's fans, the FA, HMCR and the Courts. Let's all celebrate the fact that the Premier Leagues Flagship Trophy competition was won by a team cheating their way through both Cup and League games. S P O R T - good init.

But a masterful attempt at bypassing the forum swear filter - which worked I would have you know...!

He's not knocking the Saints. He's knocking the mongs that rose to the mongs - they had just as well of joined forces to be honest - they are not wanted by 99% of football supporters (fans). Now, while I go get my Horlicks why don't you grow a pair of Bolicks, eh?

Couldn't agree more. Don't really know what point GM was trying to make, but if he has any mates on here that knows where he lives then I would ask them to visit him soon - it is he that needs help. As I posted on the Wembley Travel Arrangements thread: Son phoned - Dad I've got you tickets for Wembley, yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh good lad...! Aaaahhh but it clashes with an upcoming working trip to Germany...... doooh...! Google, Google, Google... travel plans; fly Belfast - Amsterdam, drive Amsterdam - Germany - Amsterdam, fly Amsterdam - Gatwick, drive Gatwick - Southampton, train/tube Southampton - Wembley - THE GAME - tube/train Wembly - Gatwick, fly Gatwick - Amsterdam, drive Amsterdam - Germany - no sweat...!!! And some of you are struggling to get from Southampton to Wembley - c'mon guys, keep up...!!! We may not be able to make every game - but we do put the effort in to support the team when we can - I'm not claiming to be in GM's 'UberFanClub', but if I lived in England then it is very likely that I too would go to games as regularly as he. Instead of sniping at fans living abroad, perhaps he should just consider us as ambassadors of the club - spreading the word - either that or just STFU.

Thanks to all of those that went for posting - puts some perspective onto the board. Yorkie - you're old school mate - we need more fans like you to keep it realistic - nice one mate.

Exactly.

Were you there...

Thanks for that - you may have saved a few lives tonight....

Wouldn't disagree - but it still remains a very slim chance. If I had to lay money - I would lay against.

I would agree - it's all AP's fault, too slow by half, no plan b, shyte tactics on shyte pitches - time for him to go methinks.

You wouldn't be the first - many have been saying it for some time, big, big outside chance - but realistically it was never on. Would be interesting to see how many Saints fans put money on us making it.

Well if the wristslitters were going to have a field day before, they are going to be in their element now...! Shyte...

Good post, it highlights many of the points that a lot of people seem not to have grasped. HMRC did not just wake up one morning, look at the books and see that PFC owed a large chunk of money and decided, off the cuff, to collect. As you have detailed - where we (PFC - HMRC) are now is the culmination of meetings, events and agreements that have tried to rectify the outstanding amounts by agreeable means, those means have failed and bought no fruition to the Taxman. HMRC have tried to go about their business reasonable, unfortunately PFC were unresponsive and now the courts are involved - there is no bullying here.

There, see - all of you doubters on here, PFC do have a prayer...!!!

Well you could do rice, but I would then throw a load of curry powder, onions and chillies into the casserole...!

Definately not rice, no way, not with casserole, rice is not a good idea, curry yes, casserole no - no rice, get it. Carrots maybe though - HTH.

Son phoned - Dad I've got you tickets for Wembley, yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh good lad...! Aaaahhh but it clashes with an upcoming working trip to Germany...... doooh...! Google, Google, Google... travel plans; fly Belfast - Amsterdam, drive Amsterdam - Germany - Amsterdam, fly Amsterdam - Gatwick, drive Gatwick - Southampton, train/tube Southampton - Wembley - THE GAME - tube/train Wembly - Gatwick, fly Gatwick - Amsterdam, drive Amsterdam - Germany - no sweat...!!! And some of you are struggling to get from Southampton to Wembley - c'mon guys, keep up...!!!

Have enjoyed both podcasts upto now - am a bit of a virgin in the podcast world, but managed to learn how to get it to play in winamp - and am set for future broadcasts. Would love to hear discussion on things like: Where are they now - former players, managers, etc Forum thread / post(er) of the week - loads to pick from here Blast from the past - we have some great games to look back on (good & bad) Would also love to hear some of the view of posters here as well - I reckon the likes of Benjii, VFTT, TDD et al would make for lively discussion and debate, so long as it didn't decend to fisticuffs! Perhaps you should record it in a boxing ring - see how it goes..! Good job though - keep it coming, look forward to it.

Awful news - condolences to his family, the club and the fans. RIP Keith.

Made me LOL

Decent presenter - appeared to be an all round good guy too, sad news - RIP Kristian.

Nah - we fluked them all - 'uddersfield p issed all over us...!
