I wouldn't mind getting them.... as long as it doesn't go to bloody penalties.

OK .... apart from getting relegated twice, going into administration, and almost going out of existence. But yes, we did survive.

But are we this desperate? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=22909

True, but it leaves little room for error (a little bit off, and you'll hit the post or crossbar). MLT's technique ensures that you don't have to accurately get it in to the top or bottom corner: if the goalie moves, all he has to do is put it in the opposite side, and if the goalie doesn't move before the kick, a hard kick in the originally chosen direction will be virtually unsavable. BTW, if England beat Germany on penalties, I'll eat my house. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=22743

I don't normally agree with a skate (no offense ), but I would bet that's exactly what's going on. CHEATING BASTARDS

Not to mention the owner getting paid 100p in the pound for imaginary debts (allegedly), and reaping the spoils of a large part of the parachute money as well as possible promotion, whereas the poor suckers with genuine debts getting 20p in the pound. CHEATING BASTARDS

But the Hong Kong businessman may be left with little choice but to take control once again, with the administrators UHY Hacker Young warning in the official Creditors Voluntary Agreement, published on Friday, that without his support "the club could cease trading". Translation: "I get most of the parachute money, keep control of the club and future TV money, and you accept 20p in the pound, or I pull the plug and you lot get diddly squat." CHEATING BASTARDS

Says he clutching at straws.

I'm sure that Tijuana Tim will willingly start half a dozen new threads, if you ask him nicely. :cool:

Go on then, lock the thread. I dare you.

The thought crossed my mind too. It seems very feasible, provided the owner is dishonest enough. So a club like P***** wouldn't hesitate, whereas an honest owner (ML?) is less likely to try it. The moral is, in football ... ... CHEATS PROSPER

That brings up a good point: if they accept the 20% offer, not only do HMRC get ripped off directly from the 80% loss on the money owed to them, but also they'll lose even more from the reduction of taxes paid by the other ripped-off creditors! Just say no to the CVA, HMRC! CHEATING BASTARDS

I'm sure they will say that. Whether the FL listens to them is a different matter. CHEATING BASTARDS

At a guess, liquidation and starting a new club before the season starts makes it easier for the FL to deny the new club its golden share. So it's safer to do it half way through the season.

So you're saying HMRC have a cunning plan to liquidate PFC, and then bankrupt UHY Hacker Young & AA? I couldn't raise my hopes up that high. But as cunning plans go, that's the best I've ever heard!

Say it's not so! That means I have to give them a warm welcome. I'd better get my Saints shirt out, and start preparing some rotten eggs and tomatoes. CHEATING BASTARDS

Agreed. Thank God they haven't sacked him yet. He's the French version of this clown.

It seems so. Automatic -10 for going into administration, regardless of a CVA. Extra point deductions for those not coming out of administration with a CVA.
