    This is pretty much what I expected. I don't think that there was any real likely chance of them being liquidated on the 10th - Birch simply used this date as an opportunity to 'emotionally blackmail' the first team players they wanted to leave and give a deadline to prospective buyers. This date is also very convenient - as it enables them to clear shop and get some players on board before their first game next week.

    TBH has gone. Liam Lawrence is either going to Cardiff or staying with a new, affordable contract. So the club is now effectively safe. Just five days to sign an entire squad for Tuesday's League Cup tie at Plymouth <yikes>

    My god, do you mean the 10th of August DEADline was just a bit of emotional blackmail to put pressure on the players to forego the money they are legally owed!?!?! WELL I NEVER!!! NEVER SAW THAT COMING!!!

    I suggest all the businesses that Pompey owe money take a similar approach.

    They'll be back in the ****e again within a few months. Guarantee it.

    Isn't there still a bit of a kerfuffle to resolve between them, Chainrai and the football league?

    If Chainrai takes over the club, we'll still be liquidated probably. Just not on the 10th.

    Yep. The first time they're 10 minutes late with their tax payments (and they will be) HMRC will be all over them like drool on SB3's chin.

    Any money, Bates has strung them along, knowing full well he would do the dirty on them all the while.

    It looks like Portsmouth will be safe for a little while longer. Do us Saints fans want them to go bust? When Norris equalised I died inside and wanted them to, but then I thought that they can't go out of business with us not beating them in our last encounter! :biggrin:

    This is getting beyond a joke. I've had to put the bunting back in the loft about three times now and street parties don't organise themselves.

    When Norris scored it was horrible, but at the same time I realised that it was an amazing moment for them that they probably deserved. I want them to survive and I want us to play them again.
