Ken Tone Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 How many are left on POL now? Must be close to single figures on-line at once by now surely? I'm surprised that frattoniser has anyone left to argue with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 Andronikou's legacy at Swindon? Didn't it take him seven years to 'complete' that job last time? Brace yourself for the Football League hitting Swindon with a minus 40 for 'regular insolvency events' while presenting pompey with an award for work with local charities and their assistance with advanced training courses for plumbers. I presume their fine manager will blame immigration or asylum seekers, and then head off to invade eastern Europe. It could be an opportunity for Birch to make a few more quid in his specialist area, so he might want to clear his current workload a bit sharpish.....

trousers Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21058754 Stop me if you have heard this one before but Portsmouth were supposed to go to the High Court on Tuesday. In administration (and the relegation zone), millions in debt, senior players up for grabs… oh, you have heard this one before.Fair enough. In the context of their recent history, this adjourned visit to the Royal Courts of Justice was always going to be the equivalent of a tie in the early stages of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. But Pompey's next court hearing, on 31 January, could set the date for the biggest fixture in their 114-year history, which is saying something for a club that has contested five FA Cup finals. The dispute is between PKF, the insolvency firm that has been running the club for almost a year, and Portpin, one of Pompey's five different owners since 2009, and the issue they are arguing about is a fair valuation of the club's Fratton Park home. If PKF win, they will sell the club and all its assets to the Pompey Supporters Trust, giving the fans an opportunity to run the club themselves. If Portpin win, the Trust's plan unravels and it becomes difficult to see Portsmouth FC lasting much beyond its 115th birthday party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 Why on earth is going into administration to 'reduce debt' an acceptable option for a football club but not any other buisness. It is getting a bit silly. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21047858 I know we are guilty of it too but it does seem a strange contradiction.

I pushed him on it as to wthether they just forced our hand and he insisted they put us in admin. May be it is just symantics and we actually chose that route, but from my understanding it was thier choice, but I guess we will never know one way or the other.

Appointed by the board of SLH apparently, according to the statement issued by the Stock Exchange: LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - Southampton Leisure Holdings , the parent company of Southampton soccer club, on Thursday said it had appointed Begbies Traynor as its administrator and that three of its directors had resigned. "The board has appointed Mark Fry and David Hudson of Begbies Traynor as joint administrators to the company. Rupert Lowe, Andrew Cowen and Michael Wilde have resigned as directors of the company with immediate effect," Southampton Leisure Holdings said in a statement. It added that Southampton Football Club Ltd, a subsidiary of the company, would be unaffected by the insolvency proceedings. Not that it really matters.

pedg Posted 18 January, 2013 Share Posted 18 January, 2013 Not to get side tracked again but if going into admin was the only real sensible response to what Barclays did then I think you could get away with saying they put us into admin. If you push someone off a cliff the fall may be what killed them but that does not mean its not your fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
