Nice one, Banbury ;-)
Sad cunt that I am, I had a quick read online about Andronikou's very humiliating exit as Administrator of Pompey today. Do you have a link for that? |

The appointment of PKF comes after Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs challenged the appointment of UHY Hacker Young on the grounds that it would be a conflict of interests and would not result in the best deal for Portsmouth taxpayers.
...
Portsmouth North MP Penny Mordaunt has been working with some of the club’s creditors to oppose the appointment of UHY Hacker Young and had written to HMRC in a bid to secure support.
Portsmouth City Council sent a letter to the High Court calling for new administrators to be appointed.
UHY Hacker Young was in charge when Pompey last entered administration two years ago and are dealing with the current administration of Pompey’s parent company Convers Sports Initiatives.
Mr Andronikou was the preferred administrator - which sparked alarm among Pompey fans.

So Chainrai offered £500k if Andronikou or other of his choice was appointed - there is obviously certain things he thought that only his man could prevent coming out!

They interviewed a guy who claimed to be an expert on footy finances on BBC news this morning. When the name of Portsmouth was raised he stated that there is a different administrator this time "because quite frankly the previous one was not very good"! Wonder what Sir Seton and co make of that and the influence of the big fat greek on our own problems of a few years ago.

Chainrai - Andronikou - Diamandis - Holt = The same thing ? .......Busybodies done well  We were so lucky !! Still makes me shudder to think how close we got to what is now going on at Pompey. Bad days supporting Town then but like anything bad in life you often get some good coming out of it. Lots of Swindon fans done their bit to help oust the evil from our Club. Made some good friends during that time..............It became a personal battle and glad to have helped Mr Diamandis in many ways, one being from losing him business. |

Great fans but a bit mental in the 70's and 80's. My old Man was from Pompey and really I should have followed them as a boy but it was Swindon since 1975 and remember the 3-1 win against Pompey with Kamara scoring a diving header (1977/8 I believe.........Looking forward to Hereford later. |

Last link is sickening. Even if the worst should happen on the pitch this season, we can all feel glad we dont have the likes of Bob fucking Holt behind the scenes. |

First game my old man ever took me to was Portsmouth v Huddersfield in 1964. 2-1 to Pompey.

How are Portsmouth taxpayers affected by the decision?

I'd have thought it would reflect all taxpayers in the same way, unless they mean council rates and taxes owed by the club. The the yocals would presumably need to make up the shortfall. |

I must admit I have a soft spot for Portsmouth. Ever since I used to go to the our away games there, & join some Pompey fans on their pre match pubcrawl. Luckily, we were able to wear our colours in safety, as these guys worked with my brother in the dockyard.
My message to them re AA was & is simple ............ "Cunt"

I've been in touch with a Pompey fan in the last week wanting some dirt on AA before th court appearance yesterday, and I had delight in posting her some links to some of the Adver stories, which Delta just posted, and some other stories about him Reading the article below : http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=17350it's spookily like the Swindon situation, where he FC doesn't own the ground butthe ground has to be used as sporting facilities. The difference is that we had SSW, who is a Swindon fan, whilst Chainrai is not...and just wants his money back...and that is what's holding up any takeover, and that is why Pompey fans are preparing for a 'Plan B' as they cannot see how anyone will pay Chainrai his £17m back !!! |
