ohwhenthesaints Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 The skates seem happy about the choice of administrator too. Do they not realise than Chanrai may not want to fund it as he didn't get his way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 From the snooze Somone connected to the community pmsl buy out 85 oldredeye Friday, February 17, 2012 at 01:15 PM 76 - Sheffield - Once we have spoken to the appointed Administrator and have discussed the numbers we are up against we will publish our plans. I'm pleased our friend from across the water keeps panning us and calling us potless, it means we are a real threat to his friend BC and his debenture. I promise you, once the plans are published and put infront of fans you will see a roadmap to get this club back on its feet. I also promise you it will be a hard job, with many ups and downs but it can and will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Lay off half the 500+ staff they don't need? But they can't even afford those staff (and probably 10 percent of the staff earn 90 percent of the wages.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Red Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Sorry but what does the appointment of this administrator mean? Thanks What it means is that if they are going to survive, then they are going to have to get out of admin legitimately No dodgy deals.

The Kraken Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 The skates seem happy about the choice of administrator too. Do they not realise than Chanrai may not want to fund it as he didn't get his way? He wasn't going to fund it anyway, even if it had been UHY appointed, he was only going to loan the money (and probably as a secured loan so that he'd get it back in full plus interest). The Skates will of course be happy about this outcome; but then it does raise the possibility of any previous dirty dealing being identified and presented to the FL, which could have very serious consequences if Luton are anything to go by. Plenty of mileage left in this one yet, I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooh it's a corner Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Sorry but what does the appointment of this administrator mean? Thanks It means that chinny loses his puppet on the inside. The administrator will now do what an administrator is supposed to do, reduce the outgoings to see if the business can be saved in the long run, as a going concern, rather than do what the owner wants him to do. This should mean that he will endeavour to replace existing higher earners with lower earners, if he can. Possibly this will mean that they start to field an 11 representative of their current plight. Good luck to him with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 No more backhanded dodgy deals. No more inflated debts, no more 'we will be taken over in three days.' PFC will no longer be able to run in admin whilst insolvent. If no buyer can be found (and it's going to take the new administrator a while to get acquainted with stuff) then he can (and will) liquidate. Then why are the phew so overjoyed that he has been appointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Note of caution though lads. It's possible now that Chanrai will have his charge downgraded to just a secure creditor. That makes the club a lot more attractive to a buyer and Chanrai loses his power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channon's Sideburns Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Like I said earlier...for our entertainment purposes, Skates should be careful for what they wish for.

The Kraken Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Shame this didn't happen a month ago so the administrators could have sold off their players and left them a bunch of kids and lower league players to choose from. Still could; the administrator will look to cut costs where he can, which could/should mean he'll look to loan out the high earners. Even if they agreed to pay half their wages while out on loan that would save them £10K a week for the likes of Kitson and £18K a week for Ben Haim. Whether they'll find clubs stupid enough to pay even half of those super-inflated salaries is another matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Presumably Chainrai still has the option to close Pompey down by liquidating CSI... He may decide enough is enough and fold his cards now in order to call in his £17m charge. If he does that, it will be very soon as he doesn't want PKF paying out what little money there is in the bank to other non-secured creditors.

Could we not offer to take all their players and pay a combined £1000 per week (we can all chip in together right lads?) thus ensuring they HAVE to play their youth team and get whipped every week 5-0.

Weston Saint Posted 17 February, 2012 Share Posted 17 February, 2012 Trevor Birch is, in my opinion, the best thing that has happened to Portsmouth Football Club for years. They are now entering the end game. They will come out of this stronger and fitter with just the stability they need BUT only if Birch can find them a buyer. Birch understands football. He will cut them to the bone with the minimum damage to their playing prospects. He has the contacts and the respect. For Portsmouth Football fans, this is their Christmas.
