Friday. Portsmouth - "We have gone into administration" Monday. HMRC and Judge Judy - "oh no you haven't - FAIL"

my skate mate seems to think they have another few millions coming in from season ticket sales in march i seem to remember when we were in admin that we didnt sell any season tickets during that time is that just something mark fry thought was sensible, or is there some legal restriction to doing it

you know what, im certain we haven't heard the last from HMRC on this. i cant believe they are going to just roll over and let pompey go into admin, without sticking their oar in surely, the admin order has to be approved by the court. im sure the hmrc might just have a lawyer or two accidently passing by the court tomorrow, and might just pop in and have a little chat

lol, someone took this from a clever angle

i think the phew that are left have started to turn on peter pan http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=241388

as soon as i saw the pitch i thought we were in trouble. but you have to earn the right to play, and we didnt do that

i would take it from his statements then that chainrai will be paying this weeks wages, and those until May. so he's in for another £12m-£15m

thought it was time this had a bump

not sure how its all classified, but i do know she earns a lot more or less depending on her roster, which is from the allowances, depending on which trip she is on

i meant hearing the winding up petition, sorry

yep, its 27 hours a week. that isn't flying time, it starts when they check in every now and then she will only have 1 flight a month for a two or three months, if she is right up to her 900 hours.

gordon brown will probably promise to send 7, then only send 3 to save money ps. how the **** did we get from trolley dollys to the falklands. LOL!

lol@ the sainsburys and tesco adds next to it. thats what FP will be by 2015:D

thats clarified that then. thank you. or maybe it didnt

could do with her again right now tbh, to sort out the cesspit this country has become under labour which leads me onto another thing. we are going to need a general election thread soon. heaven forbid :smt100

apologies, i meant to say "average". they are of course many, many cabin crew who earn less than that. still not bad for a 27 hour week

This

thats exactly why he didnt do it before, as any other ceo would have done. why is why its now taken out of his hands, and he is shi tting himself

tbf, no one is entirely certain what happens to the soa being presented to the court if they go into admin before hand. it has been mentioned that it can take 7 days for a court to formally appoint an administrator, so quite what happens to monday, in the event that they do, nobody is really sure atm, unless they happen to be working directly in that field, and have seen this scenario before there is a contrary point of view in that the soa and the wuo take precedent, but as i said, no body is completely sure atm

heres the latest from storrie mouthpiece harry harris on espn http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=745982&sec=england&cc=5739 the really intersting bit it this "According to sources close to Chainrai, who took control of the club at the start of the month when previous owner Ali Al-Faraj defaulted on loan repayments, he "feels he is a victim of circumstances because the loan was only for six weeks. Now if the club goes into administration, he faces problems getting his money back. He and fellow investor Levi Kushnir put in £17 million"." so, basically, he was done up like a kipper

i do agree with that, but tbf, just about every other airline manages to do this with people on 50% of the money, trained in the same facilities to the same standards

*i believe* it was only the heathrow crew who were balloted. *not certain of that outside of that, there are not many cabin crew left at Gatwick with BA now, most of the BA flights were transferred from gatwick to heathrow a few years back, and the rest given to flybe etc, so there is not the volume of cabin crew left at gatwick now, virtually all of them are at heathrow

not true BTF. my wife is a CSD at BA, has been there 29 years including her time with bcal. therefore I do know exactly the background to all of this, and what is being asked of them all other sections of BA have agreed to the changes. the pilots,the ground crew, even the cabin crew at gatwick. it is only the cabin crew at heathrow that are holding out, trying to hold onto the perks and privileges that have built up over many years, but which are simply not sustainable any more let me tell you how the allowances work. she goes to miami, or new york, or shanghai, or wherever, on a trip. she stays at a 4 or 5 star hotel, gratis, and doesnt come back for 4 days, during which time she is free to do as she pleases her allowance is calculated by totalling up the full price of breakfast at said 5 star hotel, the full cost of a a two course lunch, and the full cost of a 3 course dinner, taking the most expensive starter, most expensive main course, and most expensive dessert, plus drinks. for 4 days. so she pockets around £500 allowances on some trips, never less than £250 meanwhile, her, and all the cabin crew, are at the local diner round the corner, eating for $7, which they are entitled to do even basic cabin crew are earning around £35k a year. for a 27 hour week sure, she is going to lose about £10,000 a year when these changes are fully implemented, and most of her colleagues will lose about half that. but she knows this is a throwback to a bygone era, and thinks most of the overpaid glorified waitresses need to lose the attitude and stop being so precious, and realise that they are just that most of them wouldnt last 5 minutes in a job back in the real world, and that is what this is about
