Clubs in trouble

[dave.woodhall]

Would make sense for Southampton to progress. They would have a massive case to be re-entered, should there be a winding up of pompey

I think a select Manchester United/Arsenal XI should be allowed in, for one round only.

[The Man With A Stick]

If Southampton have a case to be reinstated then so do every other team that Pompey have played since the third round.  I imagine that Blues would just get a bye, seems the most logical solution.

It's more concerning that a famous old club are likely to go out of business and people will lose their jobs, while those responsible will get away relatively unaffected.

I've got a weird feeling Portsmouth will survive and get to the FA Cup final.

If we can't win it, I hope they do.

I've not paid too much attention to this, but would season ticket holders get any money back?

What I know of these things together with 40 cents would get you a phone call but I'd guess that Season Ticket Holders would be way way down the list of creditors.

That would be a great story, and far more satisfying than the Cup Redknapp bought using the Pompey credit card!!

I have to admit if I could buy one for the Villa using someone elses credit card I would find that satisfying enough.......Obviously not if we went out of business a couple of years down the line though.

From today's Daily Mirror:

We're still not in it, but it is for 2008/09. Accounts soon Risso?

You are getting very emotional about other people's clubs. First Fulham, now the bellringers. Are you going through the change?

I see the HMRC are challenging Portsmouths admin order, I think they will clamp down big style on all football clubs, they must owe billions in unpaid taxes.Which will effect us all in long time.

Why will it?  The majority of clubs will pay the tax they owe on a regular basis just like they're supposed to.

I feel myself possessed by a benevolent force, Damon.

I offered an old person my seat at the weekend. Not at the match, mind.

One for Hawkeye or Risso.

With regard to Portsmouth and the League's insistence that football creditors come first, surely that is the job of the administrator to decide on who gets paid what and when, and is there any legal basis on which the league can stick their members ahead of, say, HMRC in the creditors' pecking order?
