Dark Munster Posted 10 May, 2011 Share Posted 10 May, 2011 To highlight the Luton case they got deducted 30 points. 20 of those points were because they failed to exit admin without a CVA, which we know doesn't apply to Pompey (even if they did shaft the creditors) Only 10 of those points were a punishment for 50 separate charges involving irregular payments Whereas AFAIK Storrie is up before the beak because he attempted to conceal 1 irregular payment involving Amdy Faye's transfer. Unless I've missed something with storrie's case I really doubt him being found guilty will result in a points deduction, unless HMRC take him to the cleaners which on recent form seems highly unlikely I agree, it's hard to imagine the slimy Cheats getting a points deduction. Even in the worst case scenario for them they'd probably find a way out of it. But Chinny pulling the plug, asset stripping everything bar the kitchen sink, a complete liquidation of the cesspit of a club, the razing of Krap Nottarf followed by the building of flats on its extremely unhallowed ground, looks very promising indeed.

Dark Munster Posted 11 May, 2011 Share Posted 11 May, 2011 I like this article as well: http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/news/You-ve-Worked-Wonders-Boss-2170.aspx Lawrence: “If the gaffer can bring in the players he wants over the summer then we’ve got every chance next season.” Yes Liam, and if my Auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

Gemmel Posted 11 May, 2011 Share Posted 11 May, 2011 while the still incumbent president of the Blues Balram Chainray has just managed to pay back all the club’s debts and to invest some £17 million in the team. The blue few think that this article suggests the deal is all done.

angelman Posted 11 May, 2011 Share Posted 11 May, 2011 ^ Funny article spent the last two months choosing from several Championship clubs, ..and they choose Pompey!!! Antonov developed a passion for football last summer º!º «It’s hard to start from scratch, while the prices of commercially successful Russian clubs are too high» So it's easier to be commercially successful with a club that is starting way before "scratch" then is it? Still, a Russian coming to the club may well evoke some pleasant memories at Pompey Not sure the blue few have overly pleasant memories of their previous Russian. Even they can see through the gloss of winning the FA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 11 May, 2011 Share Posted 11 May, 2011 Most likely outcome for the summer? - Liquidation investigation discovers no evidence of malpractice though does suggest that irregularities and missing documents have hampered investigation. Former directors warned of their future conduct, AA criticised in strong terms - no action taken. Most tax charges thrown out, Storrie found guilty so club warned of future conduct and fined a tenner - they don't pay, pausing briefly to flick the V's in the taxman's face as they leave court. The few protest vehemently about ward closures at QA due to tax shortfalls, but see no connection. They also deny Storrie's charges have anything to do with the club. New owners come in without investment and add yet more borrowing to the crippled business, becoming the 3rd or 4th party to use Fratton Park as security - it now has a value on paper of £80M. The CVA is further delayed when the Russians discover it exists. Lawrence ironically demands more player recruitment while taking the pay of four. They bring in players other championship teams cannot afford, poaching several from under the noses of Prem teams. The wages v income equation still doesn't stack up. The campaign to bring in the recently sacked Avram Grant fizzles out when it's discovered he wants paying. Lampitt and Cotterill talk up the season, no one believes them. Many continue to feel they have got away with it. A Russian poses for the press wearing a pompey shirt over a bullet-proof vest. The small creditors continue to wait. New washing machines are delivered. Harry is seen at Fratton. It starts to finally dawn on the big creditors that they will never get paid. The club survives the summer and looks to have turned a corner - new owners, new squad, all looks rosy. But those wages days just keep on coming every month and the income can't keep up, especially when the small print shows Chanrai's ludicrous payback terms and the Russians discover the parachute money is already accounted for. And where those Russians go, Interpol follows - and how come the ground was half empty but the attendance was 20,000? Odd. But bestest of all while all this goes on, the few know that there's a 4-1 drubbing out there with their name on it. Tis their destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 11 May, 2011 Share Posted 11 May, 2011 funny thing Mack is that it really wasn't as painful as you think, especially when we discovered that half your team was illegal! It was just nice to make your entire fanbase come to St Marys and face a wall of noise. If that frightened them they are in for a real shock next season, there is a proper atmosphere home and away now. I remember Swindon gave a better showing than the few that season, we were slightly disappointed by the silence of the fish. Anyway Hypo's right, getting stuffed at Fratton, that was bad, but losing to a team two divisions above you that you outplayed for an hour? No. But as a result I do follow your favourite Uncle Avram's career with great interest, he was the dirty old man who went on our pitch to celebrate and discovered it was difficult to run with crusty grey Y-fronts around your ankles - he looked like he was heading for a semi then. I greatly look forward to his next sacking - should be very soon, should have bought in January but that's always been his problem, never knowing when he should splash out or not. You can't take his spirit!! But you can have three points anytime you want, the West Ham buffet is always open, help yourself. But hot on the heels of all the 4-1 talk, I think I'll stick with the reminder - four broke owners v one billionaire though it sounds like you might be making that 5-1 quite soon.

They are two well oiled teams, with and established core of players who have played together for a period of time, they are on a high from being promoted and will be looking to take there new premier league infrastructure into a top 6 challenge. We still havn't got a training ground. We havn't got a youth system, we have a bunch of players who seem to generally turn up only when they want to put themselves into the shop window, a owner who couldn't care less, a top goalscorer who as profligate as he is, is still our main source of goals and is on his way out. Variable players pickin up wages on the sidelines, a manager who is clearly having big trouble with discipline, and major off field instability. We have worked a miracle by doing ok with all this crap going on behind the scenes this season, with 7 players approx left for next year and bugger all happening to rectify that I would be very surprised to see us achieve even close to what we have this season, I know a lot of people will say Im being very negative but thats how I see it. Clubs like saints and brighton have got the infrastructure and stability to have a go, we are complete dissaray again ! and i stress AGAIN! until we can find the off field stability and backing we are in big trouble.

Spyker's purchase of Saab was helped by a 400m euro ($570m; £350m) European Investment Bank (EIB) loan facility So the EIB using funds from the EU loans them 400m Euro. And where does the EU get it's money from (especially with all these bails outs) - Yep from the good old taxpayer. Now that other article said that old Antonov was worth what about 300m And Spyker paid out 74mil to buy Saab and probably spent some to keep it running... Oh look it's almost the same figure. So (and I love this bit) The DSB's scammed the UK Taxman for around 100 mil of YOUR money And the guys about to use them to wash their money through (could in a weird and strangely circular conspiracy theory with no basis in fact) be about to do it using - Yep Your Tax Money.

Channon's Sideburns Posted 12 May, 2011 Share Posted 12 May, 2011 From the Guardian last week - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/06/fa-faw-cardiff-swansea The taxman cometh The football creditors' rule could be overturned as soon as November after a high court hearing on Thursday into the Plymouth Argyle insolvency led to HM Revenue & Customs challenging it again. The controversial rule, which protects footballers and other clubs at the expense of other unsecured creditors, has long been a bugbear for the taxman. HMRC has lost tens of millions of pounds in football insolvencies since losing its preferential-creditor status in 2003. But, whereas Sir George Anthony Mann announced as the judge in the Portsmouth insolvency case last August that he was not equipped to rule on the football creditors' rule without a separate case to examine it, Sir Guy Newey decided he would. In the meantime there has been a football-governance inquiry by a parliamentary select committee at which even senior football figures such as Manchester United's chief executive, David Gill, have declared the rule indefensible. The new case is scheduled for 28 November – the privileged protections for millionaire footballers over insolvent clubs' local-community suppliers are not likely to survive.

If it gets overturned, would this be applicable to Pompey's administration or have they got away with it and it only applicable to Plymouth and future cases?
