''Well his son once had quite a big debt to the taxpayer''

 

Apologies if I'm being thick, but doesn't this intimate that somehow Gary Lineker's son OWES the taxpayer for his treatment? I don't give a toss about Portsmouth and their spectacular collapse but this sort of attitude dissipates rapidly when it's closer to home.

 

It means in terms of gratitude rather than financial.

Whatever way it's meant, it's bollocks.

 

His thanks will be in the taxes he pays and the contribution he makes to society. But for a seriously ill one year old boy to reach his second, third and subsequent birthdays is thanks enough to me.

I've just been reading the true extent of their debt, it's quite unbelievable ...?105 million to be precise

How on earth will they recoup that lot?

?17m Owed to HMRC in unpaid tax

 

One well-placed source told The Independent last night that the administrator, Andrew Andronikou of Hacker Young, is considering offering the unsecured creditors 23p in the pound to settle the debts; Andronikou said he is unable to comment and the amount has not been fixed yet.......

 

If the former owners and HMRC alone accepted the offer, Andronikou and Pompey would be over the line, and it is believed that the taxman will probably be minded, this time, to say "yes".

 

If true, thats the taxman ?13million out-of-pocket.

 

Cheers fellas.

 

And some reckon they shouldnt get punished.

Not to mention that they've used that debt owed to others as a means to stay in the Prem, win the FA Cup and get to another FA Cup final.

Still, better not speak too soon, given our own debts.

:roll:

Pompey are cheeky c?nts

 

this Dindance situation

 

play another game and they owe Lens ?4M

 

fair dos

 

so they go to Lens and say can he play for us as we really want him in the cup final

 

Lens say, go on, just the cup final though, not the league

 

THEN grant turns round, says that's not good enough as he'll need to be match fit

 

at this point I'd have told them to f**k off

 

yet now he gets to play all their games and the cup final

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8628604.stm

 

cheeky bastuds, still, they got away with it

 

would like to think Lens got something out of it

 

oh and the administrator now signs autographs for fans when spotted and asked outside fratton park
