Pompey Takeover Saga

as the net closes I still can't see why Chanrai would finance administration - there isn't enough parachute money to make it worth it.

He would need the lot forwarded.

 

I'm not even sure that administration is still a viable option, but they seem to be taking it for granted.

And once again there are very few journalists with any sort of understanding of the legal situation, so expect more inaccurate reporting.

 

So what is the official stance on a 2nd administration and points penalties?

I thought there was a standard -15 or similar, but is that actually written in to the rules?

 

The problem we are heading for here is that a -10 won't bother them a jot.

It will be no punishment at all for the sporting advantage they have helped themselves to, the unpaid squad is good enough to keep them up.

 

The real crunch might come when the CVA payment is missed, there will be no place to hide then - surely?...

 

I'd like to see some players loaned out to sort the wagebill and a significant penalty imposed - then I might accept that they have been punished.

Giving -9 to the worst Prem team in recent times was ironically pointless, we still await justice.

 

As for money Penny - how about doing your job rather than playing about with one of your hobbies.

She's spending most of her week begging for the likes of Ben Haim to be looked after - misguided, and against the feelings of most voters...

What time is the meeting with hmrc and what is it for?

 

Someone should give Money Penny a call....she has access to internal HMRC memos....

 

Actually, in all seriousness, how come the UK press have seemingly glossed over Penny's access to internal HMRC correspondence? Perhaps it's not illegal after all...?

Maybe I am being a little bit thick, but I am not sure Chainboy has any intentions of financing administration. As the major creditor, his demands can effectively push PCFC2010 v.5 into administration, as well as him not loaning any more money. That is unless he resumes control of the club as de facto owner and then puts them into administration.

MoanyPenny was laying on thick on Solent this morning.

 

I love the way she goes on about Pompey being owned by local businesses and fans. Good old Jugears though 'What about those businesses who were (should have said 'still are') owed money by the club'.

 

She also moans about AA not taking them seriously, but then she admitted (probably carelessly) 'it would be nice for the supporters trust to be involved in the running of the club' - so then, do they have the money to take over or not???

 

Perhaps, that's why AA won't give them the time of day Penny - it ain't rocket science.

Is something of note actually going to happen on a Friday? Surely not?

 

I think I agree with the suggestion that it will be admin for now but if no new owners appear once we get to the next Parachute payments then chinny will pocket those and liquidate.

#FF @pompeytrust . For fighting a hopeless battle, defending a lost cause

One other thing - all this 'oh the city will save the club' b0llox - they didn't try too ******* hard last time around did they??? What makes them think they will now? The fact the Pompey Trust has less than 1000 followers speaks volumes.

 

Give it up MoanyPenny - you're making yourself look a right tit.

Can't see them being lucky enough to get more than -10 points. They'll probably state their last points deduction was in the prem not in the FL. So it's their first admin in the FL.. Hence only -10.

 

Now not only have they more FA cups than us.. They are miles ahead on admins now too! ;-)

Yes but ours was won without any financial cheating or by using the abundance of servicemen in the area because of WW2?

I am not absolutely sure of the years but I did briefly read on a skate forum a summary of the dates when they had gone into admin

 

"Portsmouth - The Administration Years. 1976, 1988, 1998, 2010 and now 2012". Not a bad track record. Certainly Administration Champions League pedigree.

 

This shows that the club has been wrong to the core values for many many years

 

On a seperate point (from Wiki) some facts from last time showing that these things can and do drag on -

 

"HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) filed a winding-up petition against Portsmouth at the High Court in London on 23 December 2009.[16] In March 2010, this winding-up petition was dropped,[17] leaving Portsmouth with a nine-point penalty for entering administration.[18]"

Easy mistake to make - there's been so many to choose from... :lol:

 

I notice in MoanyPenny's whinges she never mentions the choice of 'quality over quantity' - strange that (architects of own downfall again, still we'll blame the FA/FL/Weather/Anything but ourselves *delete as applicable...

Now the fun really begins. Will HMRC oppose the admin, will they find a buyer, will the CVA get paid, will the PL forward the PP, will the FL act now for point deduction, how many points will the FL give them.

 

So many questions, so little time.........for the fishy few anyway!

Do you know what, we may get to 1000 pages. Oh... here's to 2000 then - sweepstake? I'll go for 1359 before they go 'POP' instead of 'PUP'... :lol:

Well for a start the insolvency act that first contained the phrase 'company administration' didnt come into being until 1986 FFs!! And in 1988 the club was merely sold by scummer Deacon to Jim Gregory. No administration at all..

No, they weren't in admin in either 1976 or 1988, but they did have serious financial problems at both times: little excerpt from wiki

 

[h=3]1972–1988: Deacon to Gregory[/h]A cash injection, that accompanied the arrival of John Deacon as chairman in 1972, failed to improve Portsmouth's league position. With Deacon unable to continue bankrolling the club on the same scale, Portsmouth were relegated to the Third Division in 1976.

In November 1976, the club found itself needing to raise £25,000 to pay off debts and so avoid bankruptcy. With players having to be sold to ease the club's financial situation, and no money available for replacements, Portsmouth were forced to rely on an untried manager, Ian St John and inexperienced young players. Consequently, they were relegated to the Fourth Division in 1978.

Portsmouth were promoted back to Division Three in 1980, and in the 1982–83 season they won the Third Division championship, gaining promotion back to the Second Division. Under Alan Ball's management, Portsmouth narrowly missed winning promotion to the First Division twice before finally succeeding in 1986–87. Unfortunately, by the middle of the 1987–88 season the club was again in grave financial trouble, and Portsmouth were relegated straight back to the Second Division. The summer of 1988 saw Deacon sell the club to London based businessman and former Queens Park Rangers Chairman, Jim Gregory.

So at least once in the past they have managed to cut costs to save themselves.

Remove 1976 & 1988 and add 1911 plus of course the cheating in 1898.

In 1898 Royal Artillery FC kicked out of the Southern League after breaching the strict rules on amateurism of the period

In 1911 a severe financial crisis struck and the club was wound up after suffering relegation to the Southern League Second Division. A new limited company was promptly formed ...

During the club's centenary season a financial crisis led to administration in December 1998. At this time there was no points penalty for clubs who took this course and Portsmouth retained their place in the second tier ...

At the end of February 2010, Portsmouth became the first Premier League club to go into administration

 

In the mid 70's they decided against CHEATING for once.

The late Seventies brought serious financial problems and Portsmouth slipped into Division Four in 1978
