S-Clarke Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 Someone said it before..Portsmouth must have something over one of the higher ups of the Football League because this is special treatment. They continue to take the p*** and cheat. I'm starting to think the same as well. They just don't want to punish them for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 And he's paying for his own travel, food and hotels is he? No, didn't think so - they have just added to their outgoings with a free player, from a club that they owe money to! They are seriously taking the p1ss now - I do hope Southern Electric has noted that pompey seem to have some money after all. The only company in UK insolvency history to take on new staff as part of a drastic cost-cutting exercise. Ridiculous, I didn't think they could sink lower in my estimation but there you go.

Lifelongsaint83 Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 This has gone beyond Saints fans wanting Pompey to suffer (well that is fun of course) For me this is as a fan of football in general completely unfair, even if I wasn a Saints fan I would still have the same views. I feel really sorry for the bottom 3 in the Championship and teams like Bornemouth, Luton etc who never had this kind of treatment..Never had their problem being fought by an MP and brought up in PM Questions. When Saints were going through this we did do it right, got rid of the high earners and played the youth. We paid our dues and learnt our lessons and now much stronger for it. Cant see Pompey ever learning..mind you they dont have to when they have their own personal b***h working for the Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony13579 Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 Am I mistaken, or as there not to be a forensic investigation of PFC's account when Oldco was liquidated? There seems to have been a deafening silence about anything being unveiled there, so why would another administrator turn up anything that had hitherto not been uncovered? The silence might be a lack of action, or it could be because a criminal case is likely ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 As I it, BC will now take a cut price deal and sell, Pompey will not go down and just stave off relegation. A group will buy them at a knock down price and the CVA will be pushed back so far into the distance the creditors will eventually accept less than 5p in the £. Saying that, i suspect the quality over quantity will be cast aside and Pompey will become what they were until their golden period when the taxpayer contributed to their success and be around the bottom of the Championship or worse. I still believe they have got away with it, and am amazed that other clubs just turn over and let their tummies get rubbed. The laughable phrase 'the football family' will be yet again paraded and they will be allowed to prosper. They did the dirty deed with their sister, wiped themselves clean on the best pair of their mums curtains and then walked away smiling. The media never mention the victims of their charades ie charities ,st johns ambulance etc, but the poor fans who had all those terrible days going to Wembley on the back of it.

Smirking_Saint Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 They were never going to go out of business in the middle of a football season were they, can you imagine the mess that the FL would have to deal with ?? For a start there would have been a 5 point shift between us and WHU, in reality, and if the shoe was on the other foot that would be a nightmare to sort out. The sickening thing is the fact that they are continued to be allowed to sign players, if and only if there only excuse is the feeble "they already held the registration" ******** then ok, I can just about swallow it, but NO MORE, let alone the fact that the SFA had enough balls to stop the cousin signing.

Weston Super Saint Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 Football Agent @FootballAgent46 "To anyone listening to @talkSPORT Portsmouth can sign Thorne because his registration was at the club when company went into admin." Really? It's my understanding that they went into admin YESTERDAY! They certainly didn't hold his registration then, otherwise they wouldn't have needed permission to sign him on loan..... Surely Pompey holding his registration when their 'parent' company went into admin would make no difference whatsoever, since the two companies were not in any way shape or form inextricably linked, no siree, no way were they!

"Hopefully the football leage will be sensible for once and allow us to bring a few players in." Unf*ckingbelievable. It really is staggering. They don't seem to have learnt from any previous mistakes. Bringing in players is not the answer, the answer is to get the costs down as much as possible and start trying to live within their means, like the vast majority of lower league clubs do. And make no mistake, with crowds of 14k a lower league club is exactly what they are. Their fans can bleat on about how they're the best in the country (we all know that's a myth), but even if it were true, that doesn't bring money in to run the business. Cut their cloth, regroup and pray for a miracle. That's their ONLY option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 18 February, 2012 Share Posted 18 February, 2012 let's get to the detail here. 1. The penalty for their Premier League administration didn't cost them a single league place. 2. This time their punishment thus far, is to drop three league places. I'm not sure that a one and a half places drop per administration is that harsh - the places to £millions stolen ratio is quite hefty in their favour and would suggest that crime does pay. This time it might be different in that the punishment will come slowly through an administrator trying to drag the business back from the criminality of deliberate and blatant insolvent trading. If he has the intention and acumen to reduce the squad, then we will start to see justice. In the last two days plucky pompey has told us that their injury crisis is so deep that they need emergency loans because they might not be able to fulfill the fixture today. All part of the plea for mercy from the football authorities - and it worked. So I await their team sheet with interest...just 11 fit players was the number quoted the other day, we'll see if they can muster up a sub or two from the yoof. Or perhaps we'll see some miraculous recoveries and a nice away win for their expensively-assembled squad? As an annoyed Lord Sugar Tweeted it, business as usual. I'll consider sympathy when the leopard demonstrates that it has changed it's spots because I reckon they have conned the FL this week. But I'm cynical like that. This needs to be posted to as many FL clubs as possible - especially those who have sadly had to leave the FL and those who have had all sorts of embargos and restarints placed upon them, after TRYING to resolve the situation they have found themselves in. Portsmuff FC is an absolute disgrace to all that is decent within Uk footie - die now ffs just die now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first priority is to decide whether PFC is actually worth saving and then, if it is, to apply the necessary cuts to making it a going concern financially. If that means cutting them back so much that they get relegated - but can survive running as an average League 1 side, then so be it. And as for the skates texting Solent, yet again bleating on about how hard done by they've been, and that they should be able to sign some loan players... well, words fail me.
