HMRC drops Portsmouth administrator challenge

Portsmouth’s administrator has been cleared to push on with his efforts to
sell the club.

UHY Hacker Young’s Andrew Andronikou provided the taxman with more details of
the club’s financial situation, which persuaded HM Revenue & Customs to drop
its challenge to the administration appointment, reported the
BBC.

Andronikou also suggested that he would challenge the automatic nine-point
deduction the Premier League would make against an insolvent club.
