Yeovil Saint Posted 30 December, 2009 Share Posted 30 December, 2009 They can certainly choose to support the petition if they wish but it is complicated as it will depend on what is driving each creditor as to what they will do. That's exactly the thing - in theory every creditor will be paid in full as long as Pompey remain a going concern, they still have money coming into the business and steps are being taken that will mean they start making a profit by offloading the high-wage earners. If Pompey remain in the Premier League next season then they will probably be okay. But if the creditors pull the plug now then they will certainly not get all their money back. HMRC aren't in the same position, they would like all their money for sure, but they are owed billions from businesses all the time and their number one priority is to put the fear of god into any business thinking of not paying what they owe. In the long run that'll get them more income than being seen as a soft touch. Hence they will often be the first creditor to go down the winding up petition route.

Colinjb Posted 30 December, 2009 Share Posted 30 December, 2009 PMSL. Good to see the fans of the "family club" showing their class over the plight of their neighbours. You're such a bunch of girly hypocrites. No doubt Nick Nack will be trying to justify his glee at Pompey's situation by saying we laughed at you going into admin when anyone on here knows that most Pompey supporters were pretty supportive of you. Even me, unbelievably Don't know why Clapham and Nick Nack are so interested in what I'd say. I've said from the start of the season that we'd be relegated due to that clown Fahim's actions in the summer so it's not exactly news, is it. As for whether winning the cup was worth it, it bears no relation really. We're in this situation because Gaydamak didn't pay back loans. If you want to know what I feel, my worry is that the club will cease to exist and will be liquidated so the ****s now in charge can develop the land. But before you laugh too loudly, just think, Liebherr's undoubtedly bought you as an investment to punt on for a profit at some point. You've got no say in who buys you and someone could come in and do the same to you as they've done to PFC. Happy new year girls and if we stay in business maybe we'll spank you 4 - 1 again next year in the chumpionship. Awwwww poor Corpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidthesquid Posted 30 December, 2009 Share Posted 30 December, 2009 I think not going into admin will be a longer, more drawn out & amusing outcome over the next few weeks. It is in none of the creditors' interests to see it happen - ie Chenrai, Gaydamak, the agents, Watford etc, but they are all going to squeeze & squeeze what they can get out of it now the writing is so clearly on the wall. Hopefully a monumental firesale to keep them at bay, then when every last fixture & fitting has been flogged off in the middle of April, admin finally happens, thus guaranteeing -10 for next year in CCC. However, winding up day is a day after my birthday so I could live with that I guess.

You may be correct but why would they issue a winding up order for Decembers tax a week before the end of the month?? I doesn`t make sense.

We're also up to date with payments to Watford - next installments are due in Jan. The point is that on 23rd December, PFC were issued with a winding up petition from HMRC, on 29th December Mark Jacob decided to spin a **** and bull story to the Guardian about how PFC's financial problems were behind them. Either Jacob doesn't know what he's talking about or he's a liar. Either way it doesn't bode well for PFC.

saintds Posted 30 December, 2009 Share Posted 30 December, 2009 Following on from PES's earlier debate with others regarding the relative merits (or otherwise) of SMS and FP, I happened to be leafing through a paper-based fanzine for one of the "big four" Prem teams, who visited FP earlier this season. The following article from that fanzine provides a view of the facilities at FP and also backs up PES's view on SMS. Mods - I'm not sure on the rules with reproducing this so please let me know if not OK and I'll delete straight away. Sh*t Hole Well this season's visit to Portsmouth is over and done with, thank f*ck. While 'traditional' grounds generally have much more going for them than the souless identikit new stadia like 'Boro, Southampton, Derby or Leicester, the one at Pompey really is the pits. For readers who haven't had the delight of going there, the visiting fans' entrance is down a narrow, overcrowded, litter- and graffiti-strewn back alley that had just four turnstiles. The bog is halfway up a flight of steep steps and takes no more than half a dozen people at a time, the single refreshment kiosk is half the size of a hotdog van and access to the seating area is along a narrow passage at the back of the stand which is no more than two persons wide. Apart from putting a roof over the end and converting the turnstiles to bar code readers, nothing looks to have been improved for donkeys years. I've never visited the place, but it sounds horrible! Despite all the money that's flowed through the club in recent seasons, it seems not a penny has been lavished on the stadium itself (Recaro seats excluded, these are obviously important for any self respecting, big club).

Verbal Posted 30 December, 2009 Share Posted 30 December, 2009 "To date the new owner has injected a total of £9.7m of new funds to HMRC - £5.7m paid and security to the value of £4M." Who writes this stuff? It's as though they're making out that PFC is investing in HMRC! And what on earth does 'security' mean? My understanding is that HMRC isn't in the habit of accepting bogus business opportunities in lieu of a big fat cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
