ouch!
someone at HMRC defo doesn't like them......I thought administration meant the winding-up hearing was suspended?

Must be elsewhere, but the administrator said on Five-5 on Sunday, Pompey were trading at a loss of £2-3 million a month.
They can't get rid of any players as the contracts would cost more than they would save.
Fratton Park is within his job, but the surrounding land is owned by Guydemack (sp).

good. well sort of. i dont want to see a team go, but they have taken the piss and it's looked for the past weekend like the administration is a potential tuck up a la Leeds. The previous hearing already said they were trading insolvent and gave them a little time to see if a buy could be found. they've then gone for administration, clearly an admission that no one will touch them in their current state.
we can only hope football authorities wake up and start by having a better relationship with the revenue.

I am right behind HMRC on this. Football is taking the piss. They know 12 months down the line they might be blowing that on Carlos Kickaball. Pay your taxes. The country is not footballs' bank.

What has made me really angry is all the talk (Grant/the administrator/BBC Match of the Day!!) that the points deduction is unfair in some way - as if trading while insolvent and seeking to gain an advantage thereby is an acceptable way to do business.
TBH if they were wound-up it should be a salutory lesson although I doubt many in football (if the likes of Linekar, Shearer and Hanson are at all representative) would learn from it and I can't honestly see it happening

I couldn't believe Lineker on MoTD Saturday. He said he couldn't understand points were deducted for a club going into administration!!
Er....because they're effectively cheating by obtaining players they can't afford thereby getting a competitive advantage over clubs that do manage their finances responsibly and removing the ability of other clubs that CAN afford the players to buy them instead.
Just shows what a bubble the so-called faces of football live in. How many times have clubs gone into administration and only now, as a Premiership club is affected, does he pay (a very little) attention.

Er, do you mean the LEICESTER fan, Gary Lineker?

Precisely. Most football fans knew the agenda behind that remark. Tosser.
When Leicester went into administration I think he might even have been involved in the consortium behind the club.
