If it was secured against anything it would be the lease. York Bank aren't in the business of managing stadiums so now doubt they would have looked to sell the lease on to recover as much of the debt as they could. Wonder who would be interested in buying that?! I think we can accept that...

It's all SISUs fault ;)

we need to remember that any kind of audit or court action will be based solely around what is or isn't legal (if legal is the right term when referring to state aid). As long as SISU have acted legally, even if they have massively bent the rules, they're fine. What's right morally or ethically...

Not sure why people have a problem with the CT publishing this, it's clear it's from SISU side as it's papers that have lodged. It also says the council were asked to respond to the points raised and didn't. Either SISU seriously think they have a case or it's a tactic to delay things / put...

admin doesn't have to mean you lose all the debt and start again with new owners. Lets say SISU, or a SISU associate, is owed the £60m. They would then have to agree any CVA to prevent further points penalty. Lets say £30m of that debt isn't money SISU have put it (was carried over when they...

that makes more sense than everyone being booted out. isn't that fairly standard under administation as the administrator has to cut costs as low as possible?

are we talking about all the players being released or just being told who is being released? if SISU try and release all the players things could get interesting quickly as that's sure to light a fire under the FL and PFA.

I might have imagined it or made it up but I think there's different rules for performance enhancing and recreational and recreational is a 30 (or maybe 60 day) ban and not officially announced anywhere. I guess if Ferdinand missed a test they assume the worst and ban as if it were performance...

I don't think drugs test failures get officially announced anywhere, is it not just a 30 day suspension which could be passed off as an injury?

That's not how I interpret what he's saying. Bear in mind that as administrator he can't run the company at a loss, to me it looks like he's saying holdings paid before, they are prepared to pay now so take the money off them. Didn't Gregor Rioch say he would pay it himself? Why not accept that...

I can understand the hatred of SISU given what's happened to the club under their charge but it seems strange that people feel the need to find a way to blame them for everything while putting no blame on ACL / Higgs / Council. Appleton has to act impartially as he will have to report to the...

he's on holiday isn't he?

Can someone clarify for me, cwr are reporting that the FL confirmed the location of the golden share, mercia are reporting that they FL have just confirmed where they think it is, which we already knew. Which one is correct? As for moving out of Cov I don't think the plan to move back, as far...

wouldn't they just use the stewards from whatever stadium they end up playing at?

I don't go every week as it is due to living in Pompey these days. I would go as much as I go now, possibly a bit more if it's somewhere closer / easier for me to get to, possibly a bit less if it's somewhere north of the city and increases my jounery. My take is I support the football club...

For those of you not on twitter Les Reid and Cllr Kevin Maton were sending each other yesterday, got a bit heated but a couple of interesting points came out: The money has come from public funds and to date no loan has been taken to cover the payment. Maton said that was a cashflow issue...

I'm not supporting him till I get my phone call and he takes us all out for breakfast and / or coffee. If he can't manage that he's clearly not as good as Dinsar or the crazy canadian who's name escapes me at the moment.

They're released 19th June but obvioulsy they'll be arranged before that as they have to consult with police etc. I seem to recall around this time last year Portsmouth had to give the league assurances they would be able to play the full season so I would guess we will have to do the same...

Well to me it's either a delaying tactic or SISU believe they have a case. As a delaying tactic I don't see the point, how would SISU be in a better place than they are now after the delay? The only thing I can think of is that they hope to put off any potential buyers but I'm still not sure...

not sure how significant this detail may be but reading the article it sounds like the council didn't take a loan, they paid out of public money and will in the future (or maybe already have) cover that with a loan. seems a bit dodgy on the face of it, what happens if it turns out they can't get...
