Pompey -20? /merged/

[W10 RANGER]

Seems they are trying to do a deal, which really means the HMRC have won but they are trying to avoid the liquidation of Pompey, or so the reporter is saying.

oh

[QPR Brisbane]

Pompey saved live from Court 52

Portsmouth win case against HMRC, expect appeal by HMRC tomorrow.....

[Kit]

Going to appeal tomorrow apparently Judge won't rule against Pompey ! Farcical

[Gtleighsr3]

You me and every other little Joe would not of won,wed be bust now and prob looking at a prison stretch as well for a simular but smaller case.

Forgive my ignorance here, but since when has it been acceptable to anyone other than football related creditors, that only they get paid in full whilst everybody else has to suffer losses.

What I find incredible, is that the Revenue have allowed the debt to get to the level it has without action being taken before.

Ultimately, Portsmouth, Cardiff and Palace to name just a few from our division are avoiding paying money owed to the public purse, or to you and me if you like. Hopefully, a more satisfactory outcome will emerge from any appeal, with precedents being set for the future.

I sincerely hope that all these teams have miserable seasons now.

I hate Pompey, no justice.

They bought the FA Cup by running up ridiculous debts and dont even get punished (well not punished enough)

[Kit]

This isn't over yet though and if HMRC lose again I fear for any club in arrears because they will be chasing it down straight away from now on, so Pompeys saving grace could mean the demise now of many more clubs.

[maccatwo]

bloody joke. Now I am going to stop paying my taxes and say other thing need to be paid frist

Saw on BBC site that there will be no appeal and can't find any mention of a points deduction.

I wish the system had been in such a generous mood for poor old Chester City.
