Quote from: garyshawsknee on June 20, 2018, 07:39:28 PMWe also nearly got relegated twice in the 90s, I remember it as a period of if onlys.As well as winning the League, European Cup and Super Cup and getting relegated and promoted in the eighties we also nearly got relegated on two other occasions in that decade. In the eighties we had only three mid table seasons. Other than that it was feast or famine.
Gareth, yes any sale or investment negotiations would be kept secret, although I think investment leaving Tony in control is extremely unlikely.Portsmouth had built up a huge HMRC debt and one of the reasons why HMRC are less lenient with Football Clubs.Yes all non Secured and non Football Creditors can get wiped.The sale of the club will take time, probably several weeks.If there is a genuine sale process in place it is often the case that HMRC will hold off.
It's interesting in that when we last finished in the top four, only the top three teams could qualify for the Champs League (they extended it to four the following year, I think). Likewise, when we were consistently finishing top six under O'Neill, the only thing the press talked about was the "Top Four"...and now, when we are nowhere near the top six of the Premier League, the "Top Six" has become the place to be for an "elite" club.
We have paid the tax bill in full and have enough working capital to last until Christmas. Doesn't mean our position financially is still not perilous mind
