Resplendent in green coat. #Pompey 'Green' I can see - the colour of springtime renewal. But 'resplendent'? Some mistake surely?

Jimmy_D Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Sweepstake time! There might be much wailing and gnashing of teeth about Harris being a Chanrai puppet, but unless they can prove that, I don't think the judge will ignore his offer, so I reckon the court case will go against the PST.

tony13579 Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Well good morning judge, how are you today? You are supposed to be reading the legal papers Have you gone astray? They don't own it, so I let it be They are potless skates, so I let it be I will get my money, belongs to me Baloo has a charge, plain to see They can't do it, not a hope They shouldn't get, PST are just a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 I reckon Chinny has a bit of paperwork to confuse them, but I suspect the judge will be lenient towards the Trust. Most likely? Trust given go ahead with conditions, and spiteful, defeated, and robbed loan shark shrugs and just laughs it off.... Or appeals, and delays them all the way to oblivion. Either way I will predict that the outcome whether good or bad will be sold to the fanbase as a glorious victory for the plucky underdog. Probably in short paragraphs. That don't flow. At all. And Penny will pop out of Greggs for a photo. When she sees that votes are at stake. So get the sick bucket ready, and make it a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will win the case but I don't mind that. It will be amusing. This court case isn't anything to do with the creditors or the club per se though, it's all about whether the administrator is allowed to sell the ground for what the PST are offering. That's the reason the offer for just the ground could be so damaging to the PST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Its about 1) can BDO sell the 'asset" in the first place, and then 2) if so, for how much? The fact expert witnesses are on hand and a higher offer has come in from left field makes me think BC thinks BDO will win 1 so he is putting all his effort on the valuation limb. High risk, as if he loses that, then his appeal options are far less as points of law unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 @pn_neil_allen: Now adjourned again. Told not on again before 2pm. #Pompey Sigh... It's very unlikely now that the case will finish until tomorrow, and then there is a fair chance the judge will take a few days to 'reflect' and write up his decision. Maybe the dream (but unlikely) scenario for the FL is that he decides in favour of chainrai , but only makes his decision public just after their final league fixture, so they go out of business but all their results this season can stand. Personally my dream is still that they start next season in L2 on -10 and skint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
