Shouldn't this be in The Muppet Show?

I don't think it is. No one is going to go to prison because PFC are insolvent. Financial liability, maybe. Prison, no.

No, not gaol - just civil liability. Gaol would only come into the equation of their has been fraudulent stuf going on (like as is alleged in his other court case).

Never heard of that before!

Wildly unrealistic IMO.

John W******d's on 5Live now. He just said...... wait for it.......... ahem..... "We've got the best fans in the Premier League". AAAggggHhhhhhhhhhhhHHH1!!!!!!!!!!

My mates used to live in that cul-de-sac. Which house is it?

That was an awesome run. What I don't understand is his positioning. Always seems to end up loitering in the middle where he's pretty useless as a target, even when he's notionally a winger. Dunno if that's what Wenger wants or not?

Maybe they do have to file an acknowledgement and state their intention to continue then. I think the point stands though that they won't be doing anything substantive before 1 March; simply a "yes" or "no" as to proceeding.

Or about 20 miles east.

I don't think that's right. They can withdraw the petition at any time if they wish. If they do nothing then we just rumble on to 1 March (although there might be some sort of submission of skeleton arguments required in advance of the hearing). They certainly aren't going to drop it now (unless the SoA shows that someone has pumped a load of cash in, no strings attached).

Why do you think HMRC need to go to court on Friday? Unless HMRC decide to make some sort of interim application then the next time they will be at court will be 1 March. (I think).

They will see it; one of them will have to sign an affidavit that it is true etc... this is why they are stuck between a rock and a hard place as it ramps up the responsibility stakes somewhat on the directors if they sign an affidavit swearing that a statement of affairs which shows them to be insolvent is accurate.

In principle, you are probably right. In practice, I'm sure it will be easy enough to use your Area Final ticket to obtain additional ones (albeit, not together).

What utter, utter garbage.

FFS. Go to the best uni you can get into. Wherever you go you will have a great time (with maybe one or two very rare exceptions). Go to the best, in academic terms, university that you can get into.

We were incompetent and rubbish but we didn't try to run and hide. We didn't have numerous former officers and employees facing criminal charges. We didn't have close connections to convicted international criminals and money launderers.

But this is just not true.

I vote we get reinstated just for the comedy value of the Pompey fans having to swallow that. (But they won't get wound-up on Friday, although they might go into admin tommorrow).

I find that Margaret Thatcher summed up my position quite well in 1990: ‘Many of the precautionary actions that we need to take would be sensible in any event. It is sensible to improve energy efficiency and use energy prudently; it's sensible to develop alternative and sustainable energy sources; it's sensible to replant the forests which we consume; it's sensible to re-examine industrial processes; it's sensible to tackle the problem of waste."

I was interested to see that the highest paid officer of Miland Developments 2004 took home £1.9m (as salary) in the last published year. An 81% increase. Not bad on losses of £17m. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/resources/files/8275

Well, bascially.... I just can't see how they can continue the fudge any longer. This changes the ball-game. This is a sworn statement to the court. Porky-pies will be a big no-no. I predict mass resignations tomorrow or Wednesday at PFC, assuming that Vantis are doing the job properly and there is no takeover.

Great!

Just done a bit of digging around into Statements of Affairs. They're shafted.
