Portsmouth FC cash offer rejected by HMRC: Is this the end?

February 10, 2010

The BBC is reporting that Portsmouth have failed to get a deal done with the HMRC today and so face administration. This could be the end for Portsmouth. They have no money and are bumping along the bottom of the Premier League.  Cast your predictions for whether you think Portsmouth will still be with us at the end of the season.

The BBC article…

“Portsmouth still face a winding-up hearing after Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs rejected a cash offer from the club, BBC Sport understands.

Pompey offered a down payment to settle debts of about £7m with HMRC.

But HMRC also wanted a schedule for the repayment of the rest of the debt, which the club could not provide.

So Portsmouth face a High Court winding-up hearing at 1130 GMT which could result in the club’s liquidation, or the club entering administration.

Portsmouth are still keen for a 28-day adjournment and their manager, Avram Grant, said: “I ask the court to think not about the situation they see on the papers, football is not just papers.”

Will Portsmouth still be with us at the end of the season?

Will James Beattie leave Stoke after his manager head butts him butt naked?

December 9, 2009

This is a weird story. After losing to Arsenal, Stoke Manager Tony Pulis apparently has a shower, walks out butt naked and then head butts James Beattie. The big question for me is why was the manager having a shower in the first place?

The dispute was caused by Pulis reversing his decision to give his team a day off. Cast your predictions now for whether James Beattie has played his last game for Stoke.

Tiger Woods to be divorced!

December 2, 2009
Tiger Woods in happier times

Tiger Woods in happier times

The Tiger Woods story continues to be cloaked in mystery and intrigue. How did he crash? What was the cause of his crash? What club did his wife use to smash his car window. Early reports stated that she may have used a driver, but I would have thought a 7 iron would have been much more effective.  A 7 iron has a shorter shaft and a better angle of attack ! If it were me, I would use a 7 iron every time.

But the rumours grow by the day and Tiger’s silence is only adding to the confusion. www.radaronline.com is reporting that Tiger has had a number of affairs over the past few years.

This whole mucky business can’t go on. Tiger’s time is up. We are predicting that Tiger Woods will be served with divorce paper’s in the next 6 months. But what do you think? Cast your predictions now.

Ireland vs France to be replayed?

November 20, 2009

Thierry Henry said today that a replay of the World Cup play-off with the Republic of Ireland would “be the fairest solution”. The Irish have appealed to have the match replayed after the outrageous Henry handball helped France to a 2-1 aggregate victory.

Robbie Keane welcomed Henry’s comments asked for the French Football Association to agree to a rematch.

Keane said: “On behalf of the Republic of Ireland players, I would like to thank Thierry Henry for his statement this afternoon that in his opinion a replay would be the fairest option.
