Pay Up Pompey,Pompey Pay Up!

I'd imagine AA sees our present fans and thinks "yep,did a good job in saving that club"

Am I right in thinking he still technically has unfinished business with us having not signed off our CVA?

Yes. Much to Mr Fitton's annoyance as it still impacts our creditworthiness. But to be fair, it's only getting on for 2 years since Fitton paid it all off, and you can't expect such a high-profile chap as he to lower himself to the minutiae of actually doing the job he's so handsomely paid for when there's no SKY cameras around to record the moment. Face it, he's moved on to more glamorous disasters than us.

Indeed, only a busybody. On a sidenote has anyone seen or heard anything from Mr Wilkes...don't think he got the credit he deserved.

Yes, he's still around, though flat-out busy (body) every time I've seen him this season, which hasn't been often admittedly (I guess in part cos he's so busy). Which is good - always nice to hear of businesses doing well in these uncertain times. I'd certainly hope he got credit from people - Mike put in a hell of a lot of work and played a crucial part in everything that went on back then.

Would any national media be interested in covering this debacle? Surely an exclusive, on "why Andronikou will never save Pompey" would shift a few papers, especially if it featured a respectable and successful businessman (ie Fitton) being held back in his running of a football club by the incompetance of said arsehole.

So what is the hold up. There must be more to it than the paperwork slipping down the back of Andronikou fridge. Not even he is that incompetent.

So what's the technicality?

No idea.

<Shrugs> As best I can see (and I'm basing this on what Fitton/Watkins said at the last AGM), it's all done and dusted, there should be no hold-up, all Mr Andronikou has to do is get out his big red "Sorted" stamp and shuffle it off to Companies House. But he hasn't. There may well be more to it than that, but if it's a choice between believing Fitton/Watkins have done everything in their power to resolve this or the possibility that Mr Andronikou may be a bit of an arse, I'm afraid I know where my money would be.

It apparently wouldn't be the first time that Andronikou

did fail to meet the standard to be expected of a reasonably competent insolvency practitioner.

In that case the question remains, as professional as they are, why they haven't made a few phonecalls to David Conn and the like to mention that...

I think I'll go for the safe option of AA being a useless cunt.

Well, it may be that there is a pukka reason it's not been closed out which they've found out since the remarks made at the AGM. Fitton did sound pretty pissed off then though. Or it may be that they reckon they're better off not getting into a public slanging match with him. No idea. Ask them.

That's pretty much what the judge said

[chalkies_shorts]

Christ, I'm a lot cleverer than I thuoght. I can't be a judge though as they like rough bum sex and thats not for me. I'll just stick to being wise and clever. 

[pauld]

Well, there's a surprise. Despite all the bullshit about fresh starts, investigations, dozen potential owners etc, Andronikou's now saying that Chainrai is the only potential owner who "ticks all the boxes"

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/25/balram-chainrai-portsmouth?

Can anyone else think of an example where the administrator allowed the Administration/CVA process to be used as a device to flip a football club back to the original owners, shorn of some inconvenient debt? Let's hope Portsmouth are better at paying their CVA payments when they fall due. Their recent track record doesn't inspire confidence.

[herthab]

Due to worries over libel laws I wouldn't say Andrew Androniku is a total cunt who is fucking useless at his job and is in the pocket of anyone who bungs him a wedge.

I also wouldn't say he comes across as a smug prick who needs a kicking.

I wouldn't, I really wouldn't.

[Nemo]

And I think we'd all agree with you there

(That it would be unwise to say, obviously)

[BANGKOK RED]

I don't have to worry about libel laws and so I will say all of the above repeatedly.
