I agree but AA is only trying to sell the club and are not in admin Lol. therefore the rules are not so easy for him this time. It will be interesting if the schools, St John ambulance and the utilities companies will be happy to hold off this time, they will not want to be out of pocket again.Any supplier will be on a cash only basis and so any limited money coming in will be soon gone. The gate revenue second half of the season is going to be less as they have had 2 of their best paydays in us and WHU and so the gate revenue stream will be lower. I do believe that the FL will pass some money to them, WHU wil putting as much pressure on them as possible as they have self interest. All in all they will stagger from 1 crisis to another, but whether they will come through this time it is very hard to say. Listening to Adam Blackmore on solent last night he felf they would be fine, and said that Pompey could not be compared to saints as they are not linked to their parent company!!

Well you say if Chanrai sold players HMRC would get the money first, in Pompeys case if he keeps the club running and sells the players they wouldnt see the money before it was gone. They don't have a charge over the assets at present, otherwise they would be paid before the staff etc. I find it amusing that money owed to CSI would be seen as peppercorn payment , the CSI debts include money due to Chanrai that he loaned/interest so i doubt he will walk away accepting a £1 to leave you debt free. Chanrai may take £5m but his record so far is to squeeze as much as possible before he can drop you. AA it appears to me answers to him first and so there is always a plan. Your plan/hope is that Chanrai gets to the panic stage where he will accept a massive loss, Im not sure he would do that, or will need to. You seem to have a habit of seeing people who you owe as only having to pay back a peppercorn amount but if it is ever the other way around,the world is against you. I expect you have some major allies talking to the FL, WHU for one who did all they could to help save you when you were in the PL.i expect a £5m offer will come in for one of your players, to keep you going as they desperately need the 6 points they got against you to stay in their total. As for Nugent i recall that he celebrated a lot when he scored against you, not reserved like i would have expected a former player who loved the club Lol

The folly of not getting players in at the start of Jan will haunt us. Surely it is not beyond the whit of our club to get things worked out in november/december. It is not wristslitting but a case of planning ahead. it is obvious that there is a weakness in our squad. Relying on Dc to be a backup for our forwards is a nonsense. As for the game last night, the best team won, they pressed our back four who crumbled ad lost possession. We had no forward who could hold the ball up and so we had to keep playing to the back, and so Leicesters plan and pressing them kept working. The midfield is so slow and predictable that we couldnt get any pressure on them. Teams up their game when they come to SMS and Leicesters team of B celebrity footballers loved the exposure the TV brought them nad gave it all. Matt Oakley must be one of the dullest match summarizers I have seen on TV, no wonder Redknapp said our dressing room was quiet when he first took over, if he is anything to go by. The whole programme was biased to Leicester.

So the club owes 1.8m to HMRC who is paying AA? all debt to be to be found by any numpty stupid enough to buy Pompey. So Chanrai may cut his losses and take 5m, add all the other toxic debt and the CVA, somebody will then have to still pay £20m + for the club. As for the player registrations, we all suspect that Chanrai is pulling AA's strings, therefore if he is going to take a massive dive, he may as well instruct AA etc to sell the players. Afterall, Lampitt stated last night that the current squad is worth more than it was when you last went into admin!!!!!!! (where does that come from?) If so Chanrai is still quids in by selling the players. The FL will without a doubt do anything to keep the club alive (parachute payments upfront again) and so no point deduction and turn a blind eye to you trading whilst insolvent. It is a scandalous state of affairs, but why should we be surprised. Nugent loved scoring against your lot as much he did us, by the way

It is quite amusing to think that you spend the day unpacking dolls and then going home in the evening going home and blowing one up Lol. At this moment in time I think liquidation, but I believe that AA has animal cunning and may well pull something out of the hat. HMRC will be the biggest threat but they may wait and see if funds are found. i doubt they wish to be seen to finish off a football club

I look forward to the day when I can at last say they have not got away with it. Tonight I think we are as close to waving them goodbye as they were when that female judge gave them a reprieve. I have tempted fate and now the worlds richest man will by chance read about their plight and bale them out! The HMRC must act again, I would have thought some of them would have a score to settle after last time, dont rely on the FL thye will do whatever to keep the integrity of their league Lol.

How can the HMRC stand by and yet again allow the possibility of the taxpayer losing out? At present the club has some assets to pay the money owed. if they leave it too much longer yet again the taxpayer will lose out. PFC have taken the money in (our money) and spent it on new recruits and staff etc, it is scandalous

it still amazes me that they are in this position and can turn down £1m offers. The 2 don't add up, but nothing does with Pompey. We did it the honorable way and sold our assets, somehow they keep getting away with it.

they turned down £1m for 2 players a few days ago. They cannot be that close to folding. It is all a game to get the FL to waive the points penalty. They have them by the short and curlies, they know that if 10 points is deducted the club will be double worthless. The league will argue that it is the 'football family' lol and so we have to stand together etcetc etc

I suspect he will be saying that you waive the points penalty or he pulls out and then the club will go out of business. It is how the club have operated for the last couple of years. They know that the PL and FL will do anything to stop a club going out of business during a season as that causes chaos. Like ESB , and now Steve Wilson I have also banged on about the football authorities not wanting the can of worms opened. The tentacles of corruption and cash payments could go to the most senior people in world football. Too much money went missing.

Perhaps it is better to read about the satellite dish

instead of reading about your friggin satelite I thought the thread is Pakistan v England!! Whats the score?

Fantastic, not mental

He has indicated he would invest £20m before studying plans to float Portsmouth in New York. Lol, anyone got a toprpedo?

So how much money would Brian Howe have? I assume he is the lead singer of Bad Company, not a major name and so i doubt he would have untold millions.Of course he may have made a lot of money in investments

I understand the boring bit but I also get boredof being told they are toast, is 2 or 3 years now? Each and every time (my hero apparently) AA has made rings around all the educated on here. I would love them to be toasted to a frazzle but you are dealing with people who know all the dodges and have been 3 steps ahead of all the predictions I have read on here. They havent even had a points deduction, even after all the conflicting quotes AA puts out! I have been banging on about the FA and other wold football associations IMO desperately not wanting the true facts to come out. When Pompey are toast I will be delighted to buy you a drink to celebrate but until then I expect to be frustrated again by some very clever operators.

thats more caps then Vince Hilaire, Alan Biley and many of your other heroes ever had Lol. of course during the lets 'lets rob the Cancer charity' tour, that lasted 5 years or so you had loads of International stars in your squad lol

I think Chanrai lives in HK, perhaps the new Chinese interest could be put down to him or 1 of his cohorts.It seems the posters on here are shouting into the wind, as time and again AA seems to find a new way of keeping the wolves at bay. The FL as usual do nothing and just let things roll along.

WHU can say the same as us, that if they had not mucked up they could be clear. A real let off and lets hope we push on

Im sure most of us have felt all along that the squad needed strengthening. It has been all so apparent when RL and RC have been out. It would be nioce if the club were positive and signed a couple of players as soon as the window opens, and not wait for the last minutes of the window closing again. i do realise that they do so to get the price down but I believe we are at a crucial stage of the clubs upward climb. Fingers crossed.

Will Forest buy their players and so give them funds, that in turn keep them from getting a minus 10 point deduction? or buy a couple of their players in the hope that the players may get them some points? Difficult call, also I read somewhere that Forest had run out of money anyway

The time slot it is put on is the reason viewing figures are so low. By the time MotD has come on and gone iam too tired to watch the FLS. They have tried to make the show too trendy when really all fans want to see is the action and a little bot of opinion. As for Hansen getting 40k a programme, it shows how bloated and wasteful the BEEB is. Even the radio shows are about personality rather than the music, eg The Chris Moyles show, all about him, the Syeve Wright show ditto etc etc.

Lol, i know it is absurd, but it did come from somebody so close to him, i thought i would put it up. You'll all be licking out of my hands when it comes to fruition......lol

I know it is laughable and don't shoot the messenger. Came from a member of his close family,between us and Brum apparently I am very sceptical but this person should know!!! i wouldn't post this if it had been from mate in the pub. He is in his 30's and whilst did a good job before I dont think he would be up to it now, but strange things do happen. i would have thought we would be aiming higher but!!! He is a free agent.

He has done more for the country than you will do. Ok he has had the trappings of royalty but i doubt if many of us would want to do engagements every day when you are in your 90's and have to shake hands and be pleasant to the likes of you. You should be ashamed but of course you wont be
