Chester players have refused to turn up for their game tonight. The fans have already boycotted the club. Not good.

I predict they will be the latest team to be 're-invented' lower down the leagues.

Portsmouth haven't been able to reach a deal with HMRC and are still on the list for winding up tomorrow.

A deal is still possible but is looking increasingly unlikely.

I don't see anywhere they could get any kind of serious money to pay them off and prove after relegation they could pay the rest

Re: West Ham - is anybody else heartily sick of Pornodwarf and Captain Hogseye banging on about fiscal ridiculousness they keep uncovering at the club? We're meant to think that they're being honest, true and proper businessmen but to me it all smacks of being sold a pig in a poke and whining about it.

"Worse still the club could even face liquidation and go out of business completely."

The Telegraph - Clicky

If they did go out of business and the results annulled it would help Liverpool to the detriment of the other contenders. It's bound to happen isn't it?

I think they knew exactly what they were buying. This stuff is their way of undermining the supplier and employee contracts that are in place. They are absolutely fucking shameless.

they would go into adminstration before the hearing

However this should have happened before but what is going on at Pomepy will make a good book because the truth could well be far murkier than simple bad mismangement.

Liverpool have been the luckiest team on the planet for pretty much my entire life, and I'm in my 40s, so that really wouldn't surprise me at all.

they would have to move very quickly if they havent allready filed the application into court, if the winding up petition gets heard before the Admin hearing they are toast, , also an Admin (2-2)application has to have proof of funding, it is very unusual to get to the day of a winding up petition being heard and get an Admin order through

i saw the Zola interview he was rightly pissed off that they made the statement before the game, you can tell Zola is a decent bloke, he wont last with those scumbags

However, you look at it Portsmouth are fucked.  I remember in the summer a reporter saying they would rather be in Pompey's position than Arsenal's with all the limitless funds coming their way via their new arab owners.  Twat!

I agree.

He seems a decent type, and Sullivan and Gold have made themselves look like the half witted shysters they are over this.

thanks, so they have no plan, not surprising because the reason I believe they have not gone into admin before is that they did not want to see independent people see the (crooked) books

they are playing poker with the fans that they care nothing for and on the surface a game of revenge between crooks.
