Indeed, but that will take a while to be resolved, and almost certainly won't be a retrospective judgement. In any case, the report on the DCMS enquiry into the governance of football has committed to the removal of FCR, by legislation if necessary. But agin that takes time. Hence me saying...

Depends on the timing - there might be a vacancy in the Championship to fill when they go bust, so everyone at Conf South or above would move up one place t fill that - but that needs the relegation and phoenix club to happen at the same time. In practice they'd either hope someone in Conf...

Don't forget that payment for tickets is a "football debt" so under the Football Creditors rules Albion will be entitled to 100% of this money under any CVA. So they won't just be any other creditor. Actually getting it could quite well be a different thing, though - which is presumably...

The clarify some of the above comments, a "phoenix" Portsmouth wouldn't start at the very bottom of the pyramid. If the Leagues Committee of the FA assesses them to be a "continuation of a previous club" (very likely) then they would be assigned the most appropriate league level to start in...

Pompey play at Reading next week, and Reading have refused to send them out tickets to sell on their behalf - presumably because they're worried they won't ever get reimbursed for them. Instead, Pompey fans are having to buy away tickets direct from the Reading ticket office.

I went to the Carling Cup Final on Sunday, and no-one could complain about the atmosphere there. Ditto last year, where Birmingham (unexpectedly) made more noise than I've ever heard before at a football match. So I suspect it's the match and its significance rather than the stadium itself.

As stated, first thing to do is find out in whose name the judgement has been made. If not your name, then the bailiffs legally cannot touch any of your property. It's likely that you will have to pay the Council Tax unless you have something in writing stating that this isn't your...

Incidentally, this scam (which is happening more and more often), is a great argument for not having addresses saved within a webmail account address book.

You seem to be completely failing to understand that socialism =/= communism.

For me it's all about the #hashtags - I follow #hashtags as much as I do people, as then Twitter lets you have conversations with strangers by subject, rather than having conversations with a limited number of friends like Facebook does. Tweetdeck is an application that's perfect for that -...

Coming to it fresh this morning I got 142,500. Now I give up - I've wasted enough of my life on this!

After wasting half an hour of my life on this, got up to 140,143 and don't think I'll ever get any better.

128,068 on the first go - but I'm convinced the London grounds are mapped as too far West on this.

The smart money in the industry is on the PL switching to a single, pan-Europe broadcasting deal rather than the current per-territory deals - that might slightly reduce prices but not massively. But the real threat to them is from internet streaming rather than overseas satellite packages.

People who make generalisations about other people and how they behave.....

There is also some speculation that the whole business of talking to McDermott& Gus is Wolves trying to talk down Bruce's contract demands by demonstrating to him that there are other candidates. Football's a murky, duplicitous game.....

Yes, but he also has to have a view to a sale "as a going concern" and so maximising revenue for the creditors - and the prospects of a sale of a Tier 2 club is likely to bring in a higher potential value than a Tier 3 one.

All the smart money is that McDermott went and talked to Wolves precisely so he could then go and negotiate a new and improved contract with Reading on the strength of it. Is GP switched on/cynical (* delete as appropriate) enough to be doing the same?

Not sure if it's been said already, but I think the other clubs have Saints sussed out now. They did well for the first third of the season because they were new to this level and largely an unknown quantity, but clubs now know that if you play a very high line to deny them space to pass it...
