RedAndWhite91 Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 They also denied the Al Faraj interview never happened and threatened to sue the media Then they apologised AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA :D I am loving all this
hypochondriac Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 For once I heard it myself, no texts from a mate this time, no siree. I remember that you homo!
Micky Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 They also denied the Al Faraj interview never happened and threatened to sue the media Then they apologised AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Please God, you've f**ked my life, so please let Radio 2 be true But who one R2 said it? Was it a casual comment from a guest or was it part of a news bulletin?
Master Bates Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 I remember that you homo! Many people would do, just looked at one of the threads I started many moons ago.
Made in Southampton Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Do you think them going into admin will be like when we kept getting told about our potential takeovers on a Friday? Wonder how many Fridays we'll have to wait.... Hopefully not as many as we went through.
Master Bates Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 But who one R2 said it? Was it a casual comment from a guest or was it part of a news bulletin? I didn't hear them mention any guests.

Micky Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Sounds to me it was more a speculative comment rather than fact, it would have been splashed all over SSN by now if there was firm substance behind it, surely.
Colinjb Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Surely bates can't be the only one of us that listens to radio 2 Incidentally, the guy from the Telegraph who wrote the article on their debt was on Talksport earlier, he was very certain in his findings that they need fresh capital NOW!

PES Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 And one more point to remember, we've been there before mate, I've walked behind a coffin down Goldsmiths Avenue collecting money for a club in administration, so we're not new to what you saints fans have gone through, it really was not that long ago We know you've been done this road before, problem is now there are points penalties that can perpetuate the downward spiral......... No cash, -10, -27 if there are financial irregularities, smaller crowds (hard to imagine I know based on your sell outs!), best players in ANOTHER firesale......... Could you be in league 2 in a few years, back in oblivion. I don't doubt you know Pompey's been in admin before, many on here seem to think Saints have a monopoly on 'The downward spiral', Pompey's been run dreadfully all my supporting life, we will get over it and I promise it won't be as big a blow to us as fans as it has been to the Saints fans who saw their team stumble out the top flight for (In many cases if not most) the first time in their saints supporting lives.

Thedelldays Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 (edited) PES...I know full well that pompey were in admin before..thing is, apart from the odd chuckle..no one was REALLY too bothered...just had the old "who is up for a whip round" comments at The Dell.. the hatred, gloating and pish taking from you lot (not you personally) this summer when we very nearly went bust was awful...and now the tides are turning and you are surprised we are not giving out what we got..? wait till we play you again mate (if we ever), you will see how funny we all find your fall from your (brief) spell in the top flight...

Funny how we all see things differently, I worked in a large factory in Hamble during our last encounter with Administration and I can assure you with no word of a lie the hatred and gloating from saints fans was horrendous, I'll also be honest enough to say it was not the majority, just like it's a minority of Pompey fans that wish 'Extreme' hardship on Saints (Though a bit of embaressment is always good!) Your right about something else, I don't dish it out, cos I can't take it. I can't stand feckers who dish it out and can't take it back (I know we all know people that do), Glass houses and all that......
jawillwill Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Pompey fans seemed quite sympathetic towards me when Saints went into admin and I'll be nice to them. Everyone's different I guess. Doesn't mean to say I can enjoy whats happening to them at the moment when they're not around.
benjii Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 I suspect Radio 5 will talk about this at some point tonight for those who are interested. They are also doing a feature on Stewart Hall which should be quite entertaining if they haven't got anything funny to report on the Blue Few.
Verbal Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/blogs/laptop-martin-lipton/Portsmouth-s-messiahs-are-very-naughty-boys-article251795.html These bits are especially good: "Sacha Gaydamak's sale to Sulaiman Al Fahim, more front than Harrods but as much substance as an empty can of Coke, was the catalyst of the looming disaster, especially as the Russian still owns all the land around Fratton Park - and is owed more than half the total £60m debt. That Al Fahim was, in effect, a fraud - his claims simply not backed up and not a single bill paid during his short-lived spell at the helm - is now abundantly clear, although successor Ali Al Faraj does not have the cash required either." It's like they're living through our nightmare - the only difference being that whereas our flakes - like tommac, lifelongnit and HMR - never actually got their hands on the club, theirs did! History is repeated, first time as tragedy (because it really mattered), second time as farce.
Dark Munster Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Yes, that's true but I'd rather be relegated than have the whole club relocated somewhere anonymous, like Milton Keynes. Ah, but Wimbledon relocated after suffering relegation. I suspect the two events were not unconnected. Relegation can lead to something worse than relocation: administration and winding up. I wouldn't wish that on any team..... with one notable exception.

Jimmy_D Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 Just said on South Today that they've paid the £2m tax bill. Maybe they're not so close to administration after all.
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 There's a bit on the bbc website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8405591.stm I love the quote from Grant: "Of the players we are thinking about, not one of them has said they wouldn't come to Portsmouth." Not yet they haven't.
Saints foreva Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 So does that mean their transfer ban will be lifted in time for next month? You just know they will somehow get out of this mess!
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 December, 2009 Posted 10 December, 2009 So does that mean their transfer ban will be lifted in time for next month? You just know they will somehow get out of this mess! If it is lifted it will be because they have paid their debts to the other clubs involved and if they did that they would not have any money left for new players. Unless someone gives/lends them gazillions.

hutch Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Reporting on SSN this morning that Avram Grant has been told that he will have money for new players in January. He could start with Saints Player. It's still on special for £19.99

BTW Saint Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Portsmouth seek delay to exodus of African players http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/dec/10/portsmouth-africa-cup-of-nations More news in todays Guardian on Pompey seeking to delay release of players to Africa Cup of Nations, as National teams can call players up two weeks before tournament starts on the 10th Jan. Also where has this £2million come from to pay the inland revenue.
OldNick Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 It amazes me that most people including many of the Pompey fans accept that it looks like major dodgy dealings at FP, but the authorities seem totally blind to it! As for Pes I can feel his hurt and wish him the best, but I do want to see proper justice being served. You never know it might be for the best as it has worked out for us.
OldNick Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 For once I heard it myself, no texts from a mate this time, no siree. I suspect you have run out of them to blame for your bad info. I suspect Evans was reading out a request from somebody who works in administration in an office in Pompey. Lol.....you need some Lugs to listen properly
eelpie Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 The intelligent and honourable thing (yes, pigs can't fly either) for Portsmouth to do would be to borrow one last time to pay their footballing debts to clubs like Watford, and the HMRC, then go into administration this season. That way the crooks will lose out. Skates will be relegated, but escape 10 points deduction next season from the Football League. (That only leaves them with deductions for possible financial irregularities). They won't be able to afford players and will have to rely on their Acedemy, but perhaps one day they will eventually be able to restart their career in League 1 or the Conference with a clean sheet.

Yep, to me it is only the lure of the PL that is keeping them afloat, the thought of future tv money is only keeping them alive. When it sinks in that the big 5 or 6 will negotiate their own tv rights will the foreign investors then run away.

rooney Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 Today's DT claims that they have parted Company with their Bankers, Barclays. I expect Barclays have told them to find alternative bankers, but who would take them on? Seems only a question of time to me before Cork Gully are knocking on the door.
