OldNick Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 I do hope the FL have more balls. PS HR and MM must be celebrating, they know that the HMRC missed on open goal from a foot out, and the judiciary don't care either.

OttawaSaint Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 Maybe HMRC didn't try as hard as they could of because they have other plans and losing this case just plays right into their hands for other avenues that they are persuing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 Sorry your disappointed lads! Seems your "experts" were no better than ours! I think many fell into the trap that they felt they were dealing with a normal business and not football. The law don't want to liquidate a community club, and the owners seem to know it. For many Pompey fans im happy, but in the main I detest that you have had glory times and trophies on the back of all taxpayers.

Micky Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 (edited) I would actually hope that most Pompey fans will also see that this is the wrong decission. If they have any decency within them, they must be able to see that what has happened today is nothing short of an injustice. From one administration (only 10 years ago..?) to over 130 million pounds of debt today, nationally recognised by thier fellow professionals as cheats - really is that anything to stand and applaud?

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 So the message has been sent - football clubs can get away with trading when insolvent. Nice... It does make me question the point of following professional football when it is so morally bankrupt, from the naked greed of players (f'ing Bolotelli wants £185k a week!), schyster agents, clubs ripping off fans with high ticket prices and constantly changing kits (nearly every Prem team now changes their kit once a season, Spurs have got different sponsors for Euro matches and so now have 6 different new kits available), and clubs ripping off local businesses, charities and taxpayers.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 News reporting no appeal. It's wrong but I dunno what else to say You don't need to say anything.

OldNick Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 all we need now is for Chanrai to inject a few million to add to Cotterill's squad and they could make it back up. Just think of the money to be made from that again.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 August, 2010 Share Posted 5 August, 2010 I genuinely can't believe what has happened here. In slightly related news, apologies for the incredibly **** performance of the forum during all of that. It's the first time the new software's had to bear that sort of load and it epically failed. I've found a load of performance enhancements I can implement, so will be working through those this evening along with the minor update to version 4.0.5, with a view to it all being fine for the Plymouth game on Saturday. Thanks Steve, I was genuinely pee'd off with it. Blank pages, VBulletin errors etc. It's highly likely you didn't realise the possible issues.
