Well if you listen to Prescott he says spend, of course the years under labour we did so and look what has happened. You can only spend on a credit card so long before you have to do something. We as a nation did so, and are now having to cut our cloth accordingly. Until we get our export earnings up and earn more than we spend we will be in this position. As the developing world take more of our markets we will suffer even more, we need to take the medicine and get on and lose the debt burden. it will be a disaster if we lose our credit rating as it will cost the treasury more to borrow and so the purse will have less in it to spend. That is why we have to carry on cutting.

the reason for the possible down grade from Moodys is mainly due to the Greek debt and how that is going to effect us due to the amount of business we do with Europe. We have to hold our nerve and keep to the measures we are using to cut our debt. Greece are the Pompey of europe

As I it, BC will now take a cut price deal and sell, Pompey will not go down and just stave off relegation. A group will buy them at a knock down price and the CVA will be pushed back so far into the distance the creditors will eventually accept less than 5p in the £. Saying that, i suspect the quality over quantity will be cast aside and Pompey will become what they were until their golden period when the taxpayer contributed to their success and be around the bottom of the Championship or worse. I still believe they have got away with it, and am amazed that other clubs just turn over and let their tummies get rubbed. The laughable phrase 'the football family' will be yet again paraded and they will be allowed to prosper. They did the dirty deed with their sister, wiped themselves clean on the best pair of their mums curtains and then walked away smiling. The media never mention the victims of their charades ie charities ,st johns ambulance etc, but the poor fans who had all those terrible days going to Wembley on the back of it.

the judge questions that they are running solvent and then allow them the protection of administration!!!

.Although, of the 12 who took part in the full session, eight were from the club’s academy. The remaining four were Kanu, Adam Webster, Dave Kitson and Aaron Mokoena. well the picture shows a lot of the first team squad in training, so yet another mistruth. As for today, if Pompey were a normal business I would expect that administration would not be permitted. As it is a football club with the MP etc really on the case and getting special meetings with the top brass at the Revenue etc i suspect they will be fine.

I do hope we have made sure we get our money upfront. it does seem a long time ahead to sell the tickets and is it yet another way they are getting funds in to use to keep afloat?

wouldnt a few of Brums games be classed as derbies and so a tad harder for them. To be honest we should have been still 5-7 points clear but messed up when we played Donny BC etc.

He has no pride and cares little how they get their money so he can give it the big one. Just watch old Tiny Tears get all upset when they eventually do fold.

AA always is one step ahead of the game. how many months years have we been told they are toast???? What the media need to be told is that the Pompey fans are not hard done by, if they hadn't cheated as a club for the past 6-7 years and racked up massive debt that they hid (even under MM, as the papers at the time were saying that they were in massive debt pre Gaydamek)their fans have had a marvelous time. I suspect most clubs fans would take the memories for the crap and walk away and support other teams , much like the 250k from Southsea common did. I have a little sympathy for those that followed them in Div 4 but the majority who come on here and crowed about how great they were but didnt have the balls to accept they had done it by cheating the taxpayer. Also now that Rangers are doing us as taxpayers out of 75m as well as Pomeys 30m is it about time football got its comeuppence

Harry Redknapp is nothing without Joe Jordan. Jordan is the brains behind HR's coaching staff, we made trhe mistake of not getting him to us when HR brought Bond!!!! I wonder if Jordan would help England ?????

they put the article about admin and then have this about loaning Wood from WBA, it is madnesshttp://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/229730

so the nation will be asked to bail Pompey out again. amazing

The league will make allowances so that the tax man is paid.They will lend the £1.6m-2m against future money due to Pompey. I expect it will happen minutes before or perhaps the day before the petition is heard. of course the courts will also be very busy and the date pushed back again.

it was obvious from the start that HR was playing to the gallery and the general public have a soft spot for him. The prosecution were inept and didnt even take him to task regarding him not able to text etc. That was quite easy to prove his lying. It looks again as Pompey will get away with it is going to be the way yet again. British law is the best in the world Lol

also I suggest that AA and Lampit have spun them the line that if they gave them a points penalty at this stage the club will be unsaleable and that they will go bust, therefore the league will lose its credibility. They have got the league over a barrel and so can play them

i am talking to my MP about it tomorrow,the lady in the office was appalled about it and then mentioned Darlington!!!Sdaly she said that the MP knew little about football. Hw about others talking to their MPs. Also Penny overstepped the mark regarding internal memos

Exactly what I thought, they are playing to the gallery and yet again the prosecution is being made to look toothless.

I cant recall our MP's asking questions of the then Labour PM when we were in trouble. We now have had both Brown and Cameron commenting on Pompey . Has anyone asked the Pompey MP explain how her husband got her those internal e-mails or do we only speak about it on here? I would have thought a journo, probably DM or Guardian should get the answers.Anyone on here send them e-mails about it?

I wonder how the utility companies , Police , outside suppliers are viewing the situation at present. If any of you are council tax payers in the PO postcode areas I would be phoning up the town hall and asking that the council tax is paid to date and if not why are they not taking steps to get it. It still sems to me that they are going to get away with it again, the press seem to love MM and HR the jury were laughing at the banter and so are warming to them. The prosecution seem to be useless and a statement like HR made about not being able to text, that could easily be found to be incorrect has been left to float away unchallenged. Where do they get these prosecution lawyers?? it seems they pull someone of the street who has watched one episode of Crown Court to do the job.

you are not in Phils league. You need to do some namedropping and at least have been shushed away by one of the worlds top golfers aides. I suggest you go a bit higher and say you have slept with Dame Tira Kanawa (Spl ? lol) or helped her with her shopping bags, Hayley Westernra may help you along a bit but it has to be Phillip Schofield or better, Phil has kept a standard. He scoffed at me selling Madonna and Guy Richie some stuff, that was brushed aside by the Top Trump of carrying Tigers ex wife's brolly on a golf course. Sadly you are in the BSL at present come back when you can name drop in the PL quality

am I the only one that feels that there is only a little evidence and there are no major bombshells to come out? HMRC messed up the Pompey liquidation and if all we have got from this case is HR playing ther thicko but walks away with a small fine and the media still in love with him. He then has had little damage. I cant see him going inside on this little bit. I assume that now HR has not declared anything else and then the Revenue get some evidence he would then really be in the s###. Seems anything to do with Pompey and you get away with it

Funny how her other half is a taxman and she saw internal e-mails. I would have thought she has overstepped her position. Add to the fact that if Pompey close down there is the fans club that is ready to be set up, the club wont be gone but just the debt ridden corrupt copse will be gone and they can start again fresh, with much goodwill from fans throughout the world.

As usual Tiny Tears coming from Ho. I do wonder if his computer he uses come from Fisher Price

would there be interest on the loan due to Chanrai, of course the St Johns ambulance people etc dont count in Pompeys accounts. I wonder how much rate arrears they have, anyone wiht a PO postcode is being shortchanged, perhaps they need contact the council and ask.

they still had 3 more trips to Wembley, watched their side have an unfair advantage with better quality players. Im sure Rochdale Darlington fans etc would dearly love to have some of their punishment in return for the lifelong memories. Pompey got away with it. Hopefully that expression will cease to be very soon
