Wes my post was not meant to be aimed at you per say but in general. If they get the CVA and so Chanrai can then get a laundered business with no debt he can then go out as any other club owner and splash the cash. The creditors will have no comeback as they have taken their measly return and watch as Chanrai goes and makes a load more from a zero position. The points deductions may come into play, but I suspect we all expected them to be on -10 + now. Timing is everything and it all keeps falling into place for Pompey. Malwhinney retiring must have been a great bonus for them as i think he would have had much to say, (convieniently Leicesters man took over, and who owns them??? sweeping under carpet time perhaps) I hope Im missing the point and they will get their comeuppance but as time goes by it looks that I may not be.

I do hope your optimism is rewarded. We dont know how far HMRC's will can be pushed. Their resources are thinly spread and with the state of the economy as it is i doubt they have money to throw about on this.Yes they are hoping to make a principle but Chanrai must have some brains to be so wealthy in the first place. I so want to be wrong,but so far nothing seems to have gone as we expect, and Pompey seem to be a different case to any in normal business practice and law.

How our sights have dropped over the months. First toast then no CVA and now last chance that HMRC contest it. Things may change very quickly but at present it looks as though Chanrai is going to own Pompey for nunpence and be able to push them forward to a PL return and get those riches. Chanrai IMO has given AA a roadmap that has so far worked. If points for financial regularities come into play that may well be a factor that Chanrai cant do anything about though, but if at the end of today they have Cotterill installed and those loan players from HR and Wenger they certainly do look chipper.

It seems Oh so long ago now. I assume the extra pictures are being placed in Playgirl magazine for the girls to drool over before being put up on here Lol The DVD may be out soon

it must be in the name MrG as most others think they will be.

Young Chamberlain is a long way from being part of a team that could run away with the league.I doubt AP is thinking on playing him as a regular. Antonio will rejoin us, if the very little I heard is correct.

So it looks more likely that somehow AA has pulled off a coup. Chanrai or another will put in 5-10m and they can get back to the PL riches. A decent gamble, as they have a strong squad still,even though a few have left. So AA's claims come to pass, they have overspent 138m,had 5 years in the PL 4 Wembley visits, watched a team of Internationals at a cost of 25m or less. Then to cap it all start a new season starting on zero points after receiving a penalty that never cost a thing.

they will take at least 5k. They have been waiting for years to play us. A recipe for trouble,sadly it will make our meetings in the league more volatile as they will come down and play 'Billy Big Boots'. The rivalry will become more intense from our side I suspect and perhaps our fans will soft spot for them will not be so evident in future. I still dont count them as rivals, this will give them a chance to try and make it so

Sure do, selfish cows

He never had the courage to come out and show himself . I dont want a long debate about it Geneva, I recall the cowardly attacks by the 'Freedom fighters' to some 'Terrorists'to me. The subject causes passions to rise and so it is best not to get too deep into it. I think I recall a bomb was defused in Southampton that was aimed at my brothers age group when they were targetting the countries nightlife in the 70's. The relatives have had their apology, something the victims from the other atrocities have never had.

I always come second BTF

HMRC reject AA's offer of 20p in £

The people who were killed it has been found were innocent. We can sit in judgement of the troops here and now, but I doubt any of us would not have been trigger happy in the situation they had found themselves. Watching the smug look of McGuissness and Admas who both have been thought to have killed Policemen and soldiers let alone protestant civilians will not help.

thanks for your help. At least you wont know if im intentionally being rude or not now

how about not arranging overseas tours, stop asking for large transfer fees. Not employing a CEO IMO AA is not trying to address the 130m debt as he seems confident that will go away with his low offer. He knows that there will be a lot of fans who are creditors and would rather lose their money than the club folding. All cynical stuff IMO The meeting is at FP, im awaiting the call for Pomepy fans to turn up and make lots of noise that may well intimidate as well

Lol now you know how Cortese feels Steve

god that is galling. A clean slate ,no points deductions a bright new manager and then a push for promotion.Chanrais plan seems to be going swimmingly

He's not very good at it DT , he is not world class at that

How do you put up smileys etc?

I thought this thread would wake you DT. Dont know how to do emotions on this new set up

I thought he was voted in the PFA side as L1 keeper.Could be wrong on that though

Having the best keeper in the league is not good enough for many

Sad that a player who stayed at the club instead of going for a better contract towards the end of his career is so disrespected by so called supporters. Perhaps the opening post was a tad unrealistic but considering that 2 of the keepers who went played for teams who were relegated or in the scrap,shows the keepers are not that good.It is so funny when I hear the expression , 'He's a good shot stopper but' Lol It is like the centre forward 'he's a great goalscorer, but' There is not a keeper in the country who is good at all the criteria fans ask for. No keeper comes and takes the ball like Pat Jennings did in the 60/70's. he was able to command the box then as the balls flew in a slower speed and didnt move, the defences/attacks less wised up how to block the keeper.Keepers in the past could pick the ball up and didnt need to be able to kick well. I recall Shilts being useless at kicking out from the ground and he didnt take the ball at crosses that well either. I for 1 appreciate KD's loyalty and accept he is not great at all facets of keeping ,but he has saved us so many points over the seasons he has graced the side

Unless he really does have a great strategy that makes them stronger longterm

Im not sure imminent is the correct wording
