****y is back, now that they have got away with it (so far anyway) I truly hope that you one day are screwed by a company who do the same as your club have done TWICE to small businesses. We took the bank, so that is not so bad in my book. The more neutral fans i talk to shake their heads in disbelief in the way you have been treated compared to clubs like Luton and especially Salisbury. A crooked regime that has traded whilst in solvent. Any normal busines would be ashes now, Why is Pompey not? Dark forces you think is a figment, well so it may be but it must be the only real reason. When you get your true desserts then we will not hear from you again, nothing new there of course

I can see the ticket office sitting at their computers awaiting the replies to this Stu. It is a somewhat terse reply from my standpoint, but I suppose they get loads of well meaning fans trying to tell them how to run the business. The tone is not like one you would normally get from David Luker and so I suspect NC has made it plain that ' no debate' will be entered into.

and the local postie is no doubt a pompey fan, so loads of the forms will no doubt be thrown in a hedge somewhere Lol

Perhaps, but what is longterm in this case? We have been going on this road for months if not more than a year

It does seem a nonsense that especially in this case that if the administrator finds unethical work ,the business will have penalties. Therefore it is not in his interest to find anything wrong

I agree but Im right Lol

it doesnt matter how often you are in a playoff position , it is important when you are

you wish

If so the HMRC as others pointed out,have played a blinder

in your opinion he played people in the wrong position/bad tactics/subs etc. The difference between a pro football manger and a fan is that he has to put his head on the chopping block if his decisions go wrong. Fans team selections always play a blinder,never have an off day and aren't sulking because their wag didnt sha# them before the game. There has never been a manager at SFC I didnt agree with all the time. LM played some awful formations/players IMO, WGS likewise. I doubt anybody could run our club with the politics and backbiting going on at that stage, Gb did ok in the circumstances, and still got us the closest to the PL.

perhaps we should make the club a listed company then........ohhhh

How much was it put down as on the creditors report. if it was only projected but was put in a a full debt and this ha[ppened many times over, it would put another doubt in on AA's figures

That would be good news.

DD it was an example where we did look a good team. the play off semi final second leg ,we were superb. There were many games where we played good football. There was a problem where he didnt play some fans favourites and so they went off on one. At this moment in time i wish that Wilde and co spalshed out 10's of millions more to get us up and we could now like our neighbours still be enjoying the fruits of the PL riches.

Did AA say that Udinese were not contactable!!!!!!! I bet had they been the casting vote to save his plan he would have got on a plane and made sure they were. It seems the fans on here are the only ones concerned at the whole wepisode, and next season we will hear about how wonderful it is that Pompey have been saved by those in the media...get the sick bag

sky is very good and I have just renewed to go back on it. I do think though their monopoly is not a good thing, what stops them really whacking up the fees? Also it gives more money to the greedy players longterm.

i think any non votes are seen as an acceptance of his plan. I wonder how many forms could go missing,or are they sent recorded delivery.

Lol, perhaps you see it as that way. It is not my intention but I suppose it may come over like that. More like we are all feeling sore that Pompey at this time are getting away with it and taking things badly. Surprisingly, I still believe that there may be a chance of a sting in the tail and the HRMC may well contest this, but it is the last chance for them to stop a travesty happening. Im sure we will get some sickly posts from Ho crowing on here. The whole chapter smacks of a cover up to me, and as Dubai has also posted I have a feeling there are too many people in important places who have had a slice of the pie and are desperate for it never to be found out. How come Lampitt was parachuted in from a safe job to one that in theory would be gone a few weeks later, and PS left at his post for so many weeks???

Im expect GB does like a drink, so do most of us. Time and again I heard these stories of him out of his brain etc, but not once did anybody have a mobile with a camera to show it. That was at little SFC, he then became Scotlands manager where the tabloids would be looking to set him up.Can anyone show me articles in the NOTW or any other paper with such an expose. i think people should feel ashamed that they peddle this stuff ,mainly by hearsay, like petulant kids just because they didnt like the way he was managing the football team. If the fans had been behind him and not picking away perhaps we could have done better. The fans singing Burley for Scotland etc could hardly be helping the team. This season i an concerned that due to the fans expectations they will be a negative as if things dont go well early on ,some will get on the backs of the manager/ team/players

Viking I dont have any pro Pompey thoughts, I have just looked at it from where iam and felt how it was turning out. I think saying I have a smug told you so attitude, is very unfair. I have not come on and said 'I told you so' . Iam still hoping that Clapham etc who are very clued up will prevail. This mornings news that Cotterill has been appointed may well underline my thoughts that Chanrai will indeed go for promotion and already favours are being pulled in from HR.

Had Theo left when GB arrived? I can't remember, must be the booze

Stu I was surprised that the club did not send out renewal forms and feel sorry for fans who dont have access to a computer/or unable to use one. Every ticket unsold due t this means it is a false economy. I get the impression that the club speak as one voice...................and 1 voice only, i dont think anybody else dares speak up against it. IMO RL was never as singleminded as NC and only in time will we see if that is good or bad. Iam still for the club and he route it is taking, there will be casualties on the way but the big picture is all important

the trouble is Frank Spencer seems to have been given the job to fix it

Tommi, we do have some top insolvency experts on here, but they must be as confused as many others how this has panned out. Im certain any other business would be dogmeat by now. I respect the others views but have felt all along that there are dark forces at play. I look forward to being proved wrong, as that means Pomey will have indeed paid for their transgressions and the memories they have enjoyed.
