70's Mike Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 Damn....I'd geared myself up for another couple of fun filled years with Chainrai at the helm. Looks like I'll have to be content with the comedy value offered by the Trust ownership instead... And there will be lots of Comedy moments, now lets get the cash in from people who pledged being the first and then does anyone think Chainrai is going to just disappear. Lots of laughs left yet i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 (edited) @pn_neil_allen: Hancock calls on Football League to look into @blueballoo2000 Portpin dossier. Seems like they already have. http://t.co/EOsOey4A #Pompey Mr Hall, from Gosport, said: ‘‘It took me six to seven months to try and work out what was going on and taken me the rest of the time to talk to sources and gain information from around the world. ‘There’s a lot of people who have put the picture together over the years.’ It's been our pleasure to have been of assistance Mr Hall Hmmm... "The News has been aware of the claims made in Mr Hall’s blog for some time but is unable to publish them on legal advice." And, another Pompey fan confirms they've had their head in the sand the last 3 years, this time a local MP... Mr Hancock said: "‘I am shocked and surprised by what I read (in the Hall blog)" Edited 13 October, 2012 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint si Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 Seems like a whole lot of spin going on. Saying that the FL "failed to agree" and implying that this means they have rejected Chainrai/Portpin as owners. The FL's statement is entirely neutral on this. "It is for the Administrator to select his preferred bidder for the club. The Administrator is aware that any such bidder must meet The Football League’s requirements including the terms of the Owners’ and Directors’ Test,' said a league spokesperson. 'Once the preferred bidder has been selected the matter will be considered formally by the League Board." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 13 October, 2012 Share Posted 13 October, 2012 Now would be the time to scrutinise the exact wording of the council's conditions of providing the loan. And also the wording of the FA following their meeting - sadly I can't find anything now, but I'm certain I read a statement that said the FA / FL had made NO DECISION on Chinny's bid and had referred it back to the administrator to choose..... I read that as PKF - Birch??? - had put forward a tentative document to garner the FL's opinion on it, rather than actually submitting his bid for approval. Only PKF truly knows what is going on down there, but their lips have been tighter than Avram's pants outside a car dealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanrai isn't just going to shrug his shoulders and walk away. Exactly, this is going to run and run and is getting murkier by the day. Birch has been caught between a rock and a hard place and there is no even half-decent solution for him. This is going to get really heavy and for one I can see liquidation as being Birch's best option - anything else is going to end up in a long drawn out legal battle which the club or the trust can ill-afford.
