Time for FL to show the same balls they did last week, in blocking any bid other than the trust, and make it perfectly clear that anything but full payment to football creditors will result in loss of the golden share.

1st April, probably

Craig Maskell next.

I hope so. How many more chances to pay their members are the PFA going to give them?

And ties in with: The key principles being using PP money that they have already agreed to pay to ex-players. The "certain obligations or requirements" being that the players give up their security. Scumbags again trying to avoid paying what they owe. I wish nothing but pain for them.

They're as faithful as Casanova.

Pirlo is laughing at this pathetic atmosphere. After all, he's experienced the Fratton Roar.

28 of the bestest though

If you look carefully at the picture of the Pompey flag at Soton Central in the background you'll see the PST Chairman rummaging through a bin for fresh "stationery".

I found a picture showing both columns:

Waving a flag in a train station - that really is all they have to celebrate. Says it all.

Incredible LOL

Expecting ex-players to compromise on their compromise agreements which were made after they had already compromised their wages as agreed in their legally binding contracts. Nice. I expect the players will be on to the PFA right now telling them to get the next PP paid directly into their accounts before the fishy ones steal even more from them.

The administration is handled by the Bankruptcy and Companies Court.

Depends in the scope of the court. If they being strict and dealing ONLY with a case to ascertain a fair value of FP (and possibly giving PKF to green light to sell to the PST, safe from the threat of legal action from Portpin) then whatever the ramifications of that decision are may not be considered by the judge. He could take a look at the mess that is the PFC admin and decide he wants no part of it, he could consider it too complex and time consuming for his court to consider or given that the company is under the protection of another court, it's not for his court to impinge on that process.

Sue(?) Maskell in twitter is claiming that the Orville bid is a non-starter without the surrounding land, which Robinson reasonably close to owning, and that as Robinson is a PST partner, it'll all be OK. What she doesn't seem to realise is that the surrounding land isn't worth much to Robinson without the hulk of rotten wood and rusting iron the rests in the middle of it. Robinson will deal with whoever gives him the best chance to make money, pure and simple. Currently, that doesn't look much like being the PST, no matter how much cowpat they spin to gullible skate-lets.

Can I just say:

Then you'd better start refunding those pledges...

And yet every time the court case is adjourned they say even though the bid is "ready". I'm confused.

BTW - plenty of people now threatening to boycott Fatpipes Park if Orville's 'bid' is successful. The question is, would anyone notice?

The original loan was also dependant on the PL agreeing to pay PPs direct to the council to repay the loan should the PST fail to do so. That wasn't possible yet the loan still appears to be on offer, so the terms have clearly changed. I don't think the new terms have been published.

Lots of questions about whether Orville's bid has any money behind it and they're missing the point - if they have money and they're serious then they'll blow the PST bid out of the water and if they don't, Chinny will still use the bid in court to ensure he sets the price he wants for Fatpipes Park. Either way, the PST are sinking fast.

This from my favourite Skate Spaz on twitter: Probably true Olly. Funny, isn't it?

I have just choked on my own teeth.

You've misspelt liquidation, you silly skate.
