Waterside.saint Posted 7 September, 2014 Posted 7 September, 2014 2-0 defeat. They obviously couldn't cope with a proper atmosphere. They can (and no doubt will) blame their 'threadbare' 30-man squad
the colonel Posted 7 September, 2014 Posted 7 September, 2014 Att: 2,980. Obviously it must have been just away fans there.
Pedro Posted 7 September, 2014 Posted 7 September, 2014 Wonder if the ref was overawed by the occasion and made some bad decisions.
lifeintheslowlane Posted 7 September, 2014 Posted 7 September, 2014 Att: 2,980. Obviously it must have been just away fans there. Don't mock...Burton will get bumper crowds when they're home to the division's big boys.
rallyboy Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 I don't see any reason for the few to panic, they've just been to one of the bigger clubs in the division and they did put up a plucky fight. Their time will come, they'll get a glorious giantkilling three points at somewhere like Morecambe or Shrewsbury, and then we'll look silly for mocking how smalltime they've become.
The9 Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 Shame the prancy green-booter was injured for yesterday so none of you got to see the faux-Ronaldo stepovers with no end product. They were completely outclassed yesterday, and are now outside the play-off spots.
rallyboy Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 Am I the only one what think's that Awford should not of bin either our English teacher nor the manager neither? Sort em out Mack, they has gone all feral again and need your grammar input. Is she about?
Danbert Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 Err, I think you mean "fink's" not "think's"
Hatch Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 ''Am I the only Pompey fan'' One day my son, one day..
Danbert Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 I see their mighty academy and future of the club lost to errr... Cheltenham on Saturday. Good thing they're investing all that community money in some actual pitches. To be fair, it must be hard training in the street.
saint1977 Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 Even for the skates, calling for the manager's head in early September is deluded. Especially so after a near-record unbeaten run until two games ago and having lost to the early leaders who were in the play off final in May.

'Awfs' will need a rhino's hide to cope with the flak he's going to get from the bestest once they realise that surviving in L2 is his first and only priority

It ill behoves me to say this but sadly we have a number of arseholes on our main board who do exactly the same thing ! Lose a couple of games and the vitriol doesn't take long to get into full swing ! There are also many who say 'would of ', 'could of ' and 'should of ' especially when we 'loose'

View From The Top Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 It was only when the only Burton fan I know said this morning that they'd beaten the skates that I even knew that they'd played. They've fallen so far they've becoming utterly unimportant to me.

Now I do not care The only thing I wish for is for us to draw them in the cup. very soon

Chap in the Chapel Posted 8 September, 2014 Posted 8 September, 2014 My first post on this thread is a birth-year one. Thanks for some genuinely funny and insightful moments. I've said for years that the best analysis of Pompey's situation has been found here, rather than the local and national media, and I hope that doesn't change.

Once that sale has been completed, it is estimated an extra 0.5p in the pound would be handed to CVA members in the future, bringing total distributions to 4.35p in the pound.That is a significant rise on the 2p in the pound anticipated in original CVA proposals. The report also details how CVA creditors received a first dividend of 2.34p in the pound on August 13, 2013. A second dividend of 1.51p in the pound was paid on March 3, 2014. To date, the aggregate dividend is 3.85p in the pound – equating to a total pay out of £1,274,256.29. We've much maligned them, they're actually doubling what they've paid the creditors, they need some praise for that.......nah **** it..

TopGun Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 A good few of them whining that the club should have received some of the money...
rallyboy Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 That's not fair, it was pompey who sold him and a contract is a contract - they deserve the cash to pay dividends to their many shareholders. It's as if the authorities have got it in for them, making them pay off a tiny percentage of debt from one of their many administrations, instead of letting them splash out on Lidl bubbly. It's a blow, half a million quid goes a long way in League Two, even though they are debt-free. Never mind.
Clapham Saint Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 We've much maligned them, they're actually doubling what they've paid the creditors, they need some praise for that.......nah **** it..[/font] However, Pompey have been told they will not receive a penny of it. No they aren't. The Football league/arbitrator is.
hutch Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 It was interesting to note in the article that the Football Creditors are still only getting 100p in the £, and not a penny more.
Big Bad Bob Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 No they aren't. The Football league/arbitrator is. How dare you, they would have voluntarily given the money to BDO if the arbitrary ruling had ruled in their favour....less any expenses of course
andysstuff Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 So, an arbitrator's rules this is a new company and not entitled to past financial agreements - does this mean they're not entitled to claim past cup glories? Evil laugh.
Hatch Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/09/queens-park-rangers-football-league-ffp?CMP=twt_gu QPR ''could be relegated'' due to breaching financial fair play rules. Purely a coincidence that both clubs had the same manager of course.
Colinjb Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/09/queens-park-rangers-football-league-ffp?CMP=twt_gu QPR ''could be relegated'' due to breaching financial fair play rules. Purely a coincidence that both clubs had the same manager of course. From the sound of that they would simply be refused re-admittance to the football league should they go down unless they pay a fine for breaching FFP during their promotion season. No question being kicked out of the Premier League.
Saint 76er Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 I still think 'non - league Portsmouth' has a nice ring to it Surely you mean ... 'non-league Portsmouth and Havant and Waterlooville' ? Or possibly ... 'non-league Moneyfields and Portsmouth (2015 PL)', which I think sounds more likely.
Weston Super Saint Posted 9 September, 2014 Posted 9 September, 2014 Is that an arbitrary ruling or an ARBITRATION ruling? Makes one hell of a difference. Bloody journos. You say potato, I say potato! Either way it sounds expensive What do we think, another £100k or so gone to Pompey's lawyers? Has that reduced the [non] fan owned holding even more?

Gingeletiss Posted 10 September, 2014 Posted 10 September, 2014 So a £500,000 payout as part of the Johnson transfer because Liverpool finished second: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/johnson-windfall-to-benefit-pompey-creditors-1-6286300 The money grubbing begging bastards tried to claim the money was theirs, but it isn't. Pompey have effectively reformed during two periods in administration since the Johnson deal was brokered with Portsmouth City Football Club. It has since switched to Portsmouth Football Club (2010), Portsmouth Football Club (2012) and is currently Portsmouth Community Football Club. That prompted BDO – formerly PKF – to lay claim to the total as the most recent administrator. In turn, the club launched a technical argument in a bid to obtain a share. That issue was settled last week when an arbitrator ruled in favour of BDO. While awaiting an outcome, the Football League have held the monies – now BDO will distribute it. However, as Pompey bear the sole responsibility to pay football creditors, no former players still owed money will receive a cut. According to the July 2014 BDO progress report lodged with Companies House, the administrators are also awaiting the outcome of the sale of land in Bedhampton. This is believed to be a club-owned strip between two farms. Once that sale has been completed, it is estimated an extra 0.5p in the pound would be handed to CVA members in the future, bringing total distributions to 4.35p in the pound. That is a significant rise on the 2p in the pound anticipated in original CVA proposals. Two items of chortle there.....proof, if proof is needed, that they have no claim to their 'history', as they are not the same club, FACT! They also banged on about this land they owed...Ooops!
trousers Posted 10 September, 2014 Posted 10 September, 2014 People still talking about the ongoing Pompey takeover saga on the Pompey Takeover Saga thread? Well I never....

trousers Posted 10 September, 2014 Posted 10 September, 2014 By the way, will Southampton Football Club see any of this cash? I seem to recall we were creditors to the tune of £35,000 once upon a time (unpaid match tickets?) Would be worth a small chuckle if we do
rallyboy Posted 10 September, 2014 Posted 10 September, 2014 Gingeletiss is right to be amused, the current business has no legal claim prior to 2013. The trust claimed connections to previous businesses, legally challenged, and lost. It's now official, their glorious history goes all the way back to spring last year. So they are doing pretty well for newbie minnows thrown in the with the big boys like Fleetwood and Morecambe.

They still are PFC , the only way to them to really lose their history is for them to lose Fratton Park, that is the heart of the club not a trophy here and there
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 10 September, 2014 Posted 10 September, 2014 So if Johnson moves in January (as rumoured) and there is a sell on fee, that will go to the creditors as well
