I suspect the floating charge or the like will be still in place. he will be there to catch the fall-out if it fails again.

interesting that one of their posts stated that some of the new men were in the 657,which ones ? if they are not careful £657 will be the full worth of the High Net Worth bank accounts shortly.

he will soon be found out as is very left footed.next season he will not be as effective IMO

I wonder what Chanrais legal costs will be and what fees exactly they will cover.

Pompey must be bigger than those lot of losers

Daren I suspect and hope that the penalty will not be given until the league know if it is valid this season or not. I recall that the penalty has to be awarded if it has a bearing on their position eg if they go down anyway they get the points next season but if they manage to get enough points to stay up this they will get them for this season.If you get my drift

I can see the first board meeting . 'Can you please put all the drums and bugles in the corner' Item 1, 'Yes Mr Westwood we will arrange for new hat pegs in the boardroom but until then The big floppy tall hat will have to be put on the ground' Item2. ' yes we will vote on who has the most tattoos but can we get onto more pressing matters?' Item 3. ' all in favour that the price of beer should be halved in the Fratton End to anyone not wearing a shirt'

My understanding is that Chanrai cannot appeal

hey Phil I hope your preparations for the big day are going well. Chanrai must have been prepared to what offer he would accept,his brother must have had the terms with him

i can't believe that is all Chanrai will be getting , like all things it will be the small print that shows the real price. I thought they had already upped their offer to more than that

Amazing that this time there is a football fan who is a judge,when they were i court before the judges wouldn't know what football was. Reading the few tweets it seemed to me that Chanrai jumped the gun by arranging a deal.The judge didn't seem to be on Pompeys side at that time. I hope that Pompey twist Hull City in the future that'll teach him

It would have been justice if they had lost their ground forever. They still have the rallying point, something if lost would have meant their death-knell. Seems to me they have got away with it. I saw them skulking around the lower leagues before and they came up, it would be nice that they wouldnt again.

You didnt need to ask that question to show you are in the politics of envy. I started out on my path under the government of Callaghan and since then have worked under many different political parties and PM's. As you would be aware by my posts I never went on to further education or Uni, but went out and have worked to get a decent standard of living, and through taking high risks have done ok. I could have of course sat on my backside and held my hand out and let others provide me with a house etc whilst at the same time look in envy at others. (this is not how i expect you to be by the way) i do not own shares, but do intend to do one day so that i can supplement a pension. Even in old age i do not expect the nation to keep me, but will have to use my whits to get by. None of the gilt lined index linked pensions for me that some lucky people get,

Nothing wrong with a bit of humanity, perhaps he could tell some of his mates to show some respect.

bought by kids who have no idea, who were not around at the time.

Look at the 1970's and those British companies were on the floor. Rolls Royce were close to liquidation in about 1975

It is not worth the turmoil it would bring. Sadly kids who were not around at the time have strong views fed to them by the likes of Billy Bragg and Ben Elton. Maggie causes division in her death as well in her lifetime. I myself think she did more good than bad for the nation as a whole. Gormly and Scargill did more damage to the miners than any politician ever could.

The train service is far better now than it was in the 70's -80's it is clean safe and not the unpleasant experience it was then. I am surprised that private companies pay 5 more to run the railways, there has to be a reason to be so, as it was a shambles when the state ran it.

yep they buy their own goods, much like the French. I don't know the ins and outs of Polish coal to our own, but I cannot believe that the power companies were happy to use the Polish coal if it worked out more expensive than our own. Ok you believe Maggie wanted to destroy the coal industry at all costs but the power industry and industry as a whole were all not in the conspiracy. When you go out shopping please just buy UK produced items only, as you will be costing your British co workers jobs by not doing so, it would be hypocritical not to of course. We're you around in the 70' s ? It was not Britains finest hour, where the major industries were constantly striking for the minutest reason.we had the Union barons playing politics, they weren't looking after their comrades as much as trying to bring governments down.

The main reason the coal mines were closed was not to get rid of the unions but as the product they produced was more expensive than the foreign imports. It must have been a convenient excuse to take on the (especially as she had seen previous governments paralysed by the miners in previous years) but If the the industry was profitable it would still be thriving and there would not have been reason to take them on. Before people get on their high horses, I suspect everyday we make decisions that may cost jobs at home as we chose the cheaper foreign import. I do my best to buy British made products above the foreign item but in the main the price differential is normally to far adrift.if it is close I try to buy the British made item but.......

If you were around in the early to mid 70's Iam sure you would understand how the citizens of the UK were starting to get sick and tired of the strife caused by the Unions power. The electorate wanted something to be done to stem that power that held the nation to ransom. Nobody wanted the strife that the conflict caused but sadly it needed to be done to stop the ridiculous way the governments were left at the mercy of the far left unions. The balance now is about right, the working people need to be protected but not at the cost of the rest of us.

Free taxi rides LOL yep the club and council would pay for that

the sad thing about all the decent miners they let themselves be led by Gormly and Scargills who threatened the normal person in the street who could see they were trying to bring governments down. They were a threat to our democratic society at the time. I have the greatest respect to miners and am saddened we import coal. I was talking to an engineer last week who did a load of work in the Middle East in the 70,s . He said how the British Steel that was sent is still in the desert even now as it was so poor quality and the Germans came and took the business. All down to bad management and bad practices of the 1970's
