Prabably, sadly

 

[ROSM]

if there is an appeal I believe it will start tomorrow probably hy the QCs ave been given the heads up so that it can be scheduled (but they needed to know who is the appellant).

Do Portsmouth have the right of appeal, isnt this the appeal against the original judgement

Bollox they got away with it!

 

[Don Quixote]

They have.

 

[Ernest]

Got away with it

 

[KneeOn]

f*** SAKE. *****.

They really are a shitty little club that deserve every little bit of failiure that comes to them.
I've never wanted a club to go out of business but pompey are f***ing pushing it.

 

[stu7878]

Portsmouth win court case!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ridiculous. Hopefully the HMRC will appeal.

 

[Giant Seagull]

quelle f***ing surprise!

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Ridiculous. Hopefully the HMRC will appeal.

This was the appeal, wasnt it?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

No surprise there, then.

 

[itszamora]

Joke decision. He's effectively said that tax avoidance and theft from the general public is OK if you're a football club.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

F**ks sake, so more taxpayers money down the f**king drain

HMRC not going to appeal

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Thieves. Utter thieves.

 

[Easy 10]

Mr Justice Mann said: 'I find that none of the five heads of attack by HMRC amount to unfiar prejudice nor have they been materially affected.

'In my view, HMRC will not be worse off by the situation left by the CVA bearing in mind what the alternatives could be for the club.

'Those alternatives are liquidation, or expulsion from the Football League or worse, bearing in mind the loss of a lot of their assets.'

HMRC not going to appeal

Dave Cameron needs to get on the phone right now and tell them to issue a new winding up order against Portsmouth as the cash from the liquidated assets is needed to reduce the national deficit.
