'the administration process was as open and transparent as possible, however, he did stress that they were in the very early stages and as such it would be impossible for him to divulge any specific information regarding actual financial findings at this time.' Transparent, but we are not going to tell you anything Lol

I was thinking of bringing you on for a cameo appearance during the injury time of the second half to waste a bit of time to run the clock down, is that ok?

Id be happy for that. We didn't last time but if the team want a get together and meet up fine. Im not sure about the training session as a lot of my team need a stretcher after a walk from their cars to the changing room. PM me with any ideas and we can see the interest but also what players want. We want to keep it in house dont want Phil and his crew to see my revolutionary training techniques.

Lol, nice one. i do hope we will be graced with your presence once again, or has Granty put you as our mobile and speedy centre forward?

that would be good, you could also tell all around you about your injury, Granty did it to you didn't he?

If the JPT semi final I also would agree that devalues the competition. The semi finals originally were played at Wembley as some clubs had massive fan bases and so it was fair when clubs like Man u and Liverpool were in the semis, the excuse for Pompey is??? Surely the semi final should be played at Wigan or Blackburn to house your lot.

After going crossed eyed after trying to read your posts over the years i cant wait to see the colour of your boots

The last time we played he looked so rigid i thought he had mistakenly had botox injections into his legs

thats the stuff. Im getting a feeling that I might have the next generation of our Alehouse team of the 70's.It's going to warm the ****les of my heart. Come on the home team, Let's be avvin you

does every fan have their own policeman then

Yep a great saving but still a lot more than London. Went to see Mary Poppins, it was awful an aussie trying to sing in a ****ney accent. The Yanks lapped it up but we couldnt hack it and left halfway through.Over 200 wasted, i wanted to go and see the Phantom but was outvoted.

Dont worry I expect you will be a star. Granty will have all the fit ones (ooh err misses) and we have the more experienced and less fit.Afterall Granty will want to look good on the night, and so will not risk having too many runners in our team.Thank heavens I have a team full of captains who will win with endeavour and passion

600 staff? How many do other clubs employ i wonder.

Cara glass in salisbury are a good firm and you can talk to him about price. He has a good crew who work for him. he is a massive Salisbury city fan and so talk footy and that will help. Only sad thing is a lot of his mates support Pompey

Thanks hutch, all interesting and no doubt close to hitting the button

whatever you do go to Grand central station

A pleasure to read such confidence.Since saturday and the gloating from even the more reasonalbe fans has made me recall why I need to see them back where they belong.

I hope you are correct Phil.

VFTT, it is easy to say 'It's really not hard to understand.' but frankly nothing in this has been logical for quite some time. The court were issued a SOA before we played Pompey and still the company traded on and played its football with its apparent illegal players. Therefore there are things in play that are hard to comprehend. If I ran my business likewise I would have been shut down or inside. I of course do not have the media and pressure from different sides applied to the judges. Fry himself said he couldnt understand why they were not wound up the first time, so excuse me for being less confident than youi are and it is noticable 'they are toast' type quotes have lessened to quite a degree. IMHO the PL and FA self interest is a very pertinent point and also if those 2 do club together and pay the HRMC the court case does not go ahead. That would make Pompeys life much easier, and they could wriggle on the hook much longer until they can get off. I dont know the legal implications of Chanrai's moves, but if they could be seen as driminal, all of a sudden his objectives could change and so the 17m owed may not be so important as not himself being in court. As i say, there are quite a few on here who seem to know a lot more than myself on the legal stuff etc and i dare say a lot more than you.

So if somehow Pompey pay the HRMC are you saying the WUO is stll relevant

It seems to me that the fans on here are the only ones who 'get it' The PL may want them gone, but are backed into a corner and need Pompey to survive. If they pay the HRMC then they can carry on and see what happens. I have become even more disenchanted with the football world as they all wallow in the pigsty, and bend over just to service their own world. _9 points will be very hard to catch up especially if the admin sends Ohara etc back, but there does seem a reluctance to do so.

I think the first time they all were complacent, and thought it would just get a 28 day adjournment. That woke them all up to what could have happened to their precous league and cup. Now there will be some head scrathcing and a diry deal may be hatched so that they can fufill this seasons games. If they paid the HRMC would they still have to go into admin?

we mere mortals will never find out, unless it becomes a court matter.

exactly. Whether it is me totally missing the point or the fact that only this forum is missing it. The PL and FA are desperate to not let their competitions lose their integrity.Therefore it would be a disaster for the 'football family' if Pompey could not fulfill their commitments on the pitch. The answer to this is to pay the HMRC debt and so the High Court will then not carry on trying to get justice. NONE of the media have picked up on Dave Richards (Chairman of the PL) involvement in finding the Sheik and introducing him to Pompey and PS. IMO him wishing to keep his place on the PL gravy train will make him very keen that they survive, he wouldnt want to be connected to the embarrassment. I maintain that they will bale Pompey out of the next court appearance at the 11th hour as their billions of viewers in China India etc dont give a toss about the irregulrities, they want to watch the PL and FA cup being played not byes. Pompey will get out of it.

+1, him and Adrian heath cost our club a fortune. I dislike them almost to hate.Sad nearly 25 years later
