    The news is saying staff have not been paid as taxman has had bank account frozen.


    Certainly looking bad now.

    Interesting thought/ Do you think Pompey are filling out their Tax Return online at the moment? Maybe that's why they are dragging their heels, as they have some extra expenses that will reduce the bill to £320,000 (20%......)

    I'm shocked to the core, Beddy. Funny though. But does anyone else feel that this one of those news items that is like an old silent film - lots of "oh my god, look what could happen" and then with a single bound the hero is free?

    If you aren't paid, is that a breach of contract so you can go on a free. Not saying Pompey players would do that..just wondered what the legal position is.

    I didn't think winding up orders froze your bank accounts. But if you owe £1.6 million in tax, and a months wages for their squad, then they clearly have no cash, so the directors will be guilty of trading whilst insolvent - which is a criminal offence. Looks like another job for admin andy -10 points ahoy me shipmates.

    It's the tax bill that is either going to do them in or not, and that isn't finally due until February the 23rd, or some such date. I sincerely hope some genuine buyer comes in for them by then.

    I agree it is not the normal me.........I have to admit that this young man is going to have to work hard to get into my good books. It was just meant as a cheap shot at humour!
