Plymouth into Admin?

[donkey]

The chances of Plymouth being liquidated between now and May have to be pretty slim don't they?? There's normally a good few months of messing around, and the odd appearance from Mr Andronikou before it gets to that sort of stage

Also, it is wrong to discuss this, fucking out of order.  Don't care what it means to us, it would be terrible if they went into liquidation.  Whether we move up a place or not hardly matters compared to a football club going under.  Franchise on the other hand - fuck 'em.

Please tell me they are not about to appoint Mr Andronikou as their administrator - he does have experience of football administrations - more than 1 as well

According to today's Guardian there is quite a real chance of liquidation. Ridsdale reckons they need 2-3 million to see out the season. Need a buyer or someone to stump up the cash in the next two to four weeks.

Hopefully, and most likely probably, they'll be saved but if not it's too big a place for them not to make a reasonably rapid return to league football.

Plymuff's directors last year seperated their ground into it's own 'holding company' (sounds familiar?), and the only shareholders are the directors. This is an article from last summer, and even then Plymuff's future didn't look good :

No, they've already indicated if they do go into administration it will be under the auspices of Brendan Guilfoyle

Why is it out of order?  The whole footballing creditors getting paid in full scam is just that so only going to be a matter of time until HMRC get their way in court and make an example of a football club to scare the shit out of the PL and FL.  Why not Plymouth?  After all they are treating their PAYE payments as an overdraft facility.

Why does that name ring a bell?  Has he been involved with some other clubs?

Discussing it is fine. Wanting it to happen is certainly morally wrong.

I think he did Palace's administration last season.

Leeds and Luton i believe.

Misunderstanding I think.  I meant that it was wrong to discuss how we could benefit if Plymouth went bust.

I guess the pigfarmer summed it up quite well.

morally wrong, my fucking jizz stained goat porn says it's not

Well then why on earth did you quote what I said and highlight the bit about the CHANCES of them going bust, rather than what pigfarmer said about the benefits?! My post was nothing more than a pragmatic response. I hadn't even thought about Plymouth going bust before May, let alone wished for it to happen or eyed up the potential benefit to STFC.

What a donkey!

Maybe Fitton and co could go all loan shark on Rovers and Dagenham and Walsall, offer them some nice loans, and then boom them on the small print and force them into administration?

Easy safety.
