sidthesquid Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Who's this then! LOL 42 AllMouth Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 11:31 AM @38 I couldn't disagree more. We egged on an arms dealer to keep blowing money on players and their wages in a way that even a slow-witted child could have worked out was unsustainable. It won us one FA Cup. And now we're paying the price. Well, I say 'we' - the people who are really paying the price are those that are going to lose their livelihoods and maybe even their homes. I think Birch will find us a buyer and we'll stumble on, but I wish he wouldn't. I think we should take liquidation and pay back every creditor, particularly the ones that need it, and then start again and build a club with ethics and morals at its very core. Even if we spend a decade in the wilderness we would at least have a club to be proud of once more.

And a big LOL to this!! 38 Crookwatcher Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 11:13 AM Interesting that THE GUARDIAN is running a story today reporting that Andrew Andronikou has appealed the decision to appoint Trevor Birch's company as Portsmouth FC administrators and wants the court's decision overturned due to "A conflict of interest" as Birch's company apparently undertook some audit work for PFC. (A Conflict of interest - I know, you couldn't make it up!) Just shows that Andronikou and Chanrai are terrified about what the new administrator may discover - like the £17m which was lent to the Invisible Man was never actually saw by Portsmouth FC, or if it was where did it actually go? I have said this before and I will say it one final time for the benefit of people (mainly from Southampton) who read too much media hype and like to think the FA Cup was won by "cheating" and all that rubbish; YES - Portsmouth FC did overspend irresponsibly during the Redknapp and Gaydamak years, but Gaydamak was the owner and he seemed happy with this so PFC did nothing different to what any other club would have done had they been in the same position. Nobody indicated that Gaydamak was actually "loaning" his own business money and would one day want it all back with interest when the recession hit and he (or his Dad really) run out of money! As for the claim that Pompey won the FA Cup by buying it or "cheating", the Portsmouth FA Cup cheating side of 2008 cost £34 million to assemble. Within 18 months when that side had been dismantled and sold the combined transfer fees came to around £90 million, (not including compensation fro Spurs for Harry Redknapp). Sorry, but signing a player like Diarra for £5.5 million and selling him 12 months later for £22 million is not cheating, it's very good business. Everyone is happy to talk about the expenditure, but WHERE DID ALL OF THE MONEY THAT CAME IN GO? Do the maths, the wages were silly high but not high to the point we were suddenly £200 million in debt! I have no doubt that Chanrai lent "someone" £17 million, but was it really PFC or is PFC the only 'body' available in this sorry mess for him to try and retrieve it? Crooks, Crooks, Crooks....and more Crooks! F'ck me, do they think these players play for free ? Sol Campbell was on around £100k a week at Arsenal. The first "cheating" in there is an edit by me to replace the word "winning", btw. And they may have sold players at a profit, but they DIDN'T EVEN PAY UDINESE FOR SULLEY MUNTARI after they'd sold him on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd forfeit, get fined and points deductions, if Middlesbrough's 1997 experience in the Prem is anything to go by - can't field a team due to illness ? We don't care, you have a big enough squad including the youth players, so give them squad numbers or pay the consequences. In Boro's case as has been mentioned before, they lost 3 points for unilaterally not turning up at Blackburn, and got relegated as a result of that points deduction. Saints stayed up as a result, but that's what we did back then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony13579 Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 So Mr Birch is deferring January's pay and probably pay up to Feb 20th. Will he pay them in full for 10 days in Feb and pay tax and NI? If he defers pay to the staff & players in excess of 4k per month till the parachute payment is due he could eek out the cash a long way as the tax would not be due until the wages were paid. If he makes people redundant that is quite a lot of redundancy pay to come out of his £2m.

Winchester Red Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 It is strange that there is money in a UHY account. If PFC had already gone into administration and UHY were administrators then they would provide them with an account, but UHY had nothing to do with the day to day running of PFC (I know, ha ha). So they may have been accepting money on PFC's behalf, like the cash payments for tickets. I'm not sure that's strictly ethical, but as TB says, compliance is not really their thing.

saint si Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Presumably January's pay (and the associated tax then due) will go in to the bucket marked "debt" and so they are protected from paying it until a CVA is agreed.

Just hilarious Some FACTS you might find of interest Last published accounts for SFC £9m pre tax loss (of which only -£1.1m was down to player trading) hmmm living beyond their means then.....how naughty They owe £7m to creditors to be repaid this year, Additional £6m owed over 5 years A further £8.4m Loan to be repaid within 5 years PLUS £20.4m loan owed in 5 years TOTAL DEBT of £42m+ sound familiar......... This at a club spending £7m more than it is earning Oh well glad to see they are only spending what they earn I mean we don't want clubs who overspend in our league now do we, some would class that as cheating and state that all their trophies won in that time should be taken away, still no problem for them there then..... Exactly the same as Gydamak, Liebherr cleared the initial debt but the rest of the monies has been lent in loans No difference to PFC Also, SFC do not own the ground, or the training facilities Now wonder who that sounds like....... And each year the debt gets larger Makes our £46m seem reasonable, at least much of ours will be cleared whatever happens Thought that would make you all laugh........ ALL this information is available off of their published accounts from companies house, recommend it, a thoroughly good read!!! Sadly, they lap all this up. The delusion is fierce with this one!

Danish Saint Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 The thing about Pompey's apparant transfer success that get's me everytime this "profit" is put forward, is the fact that they needed to sell those players at the time to pay off the debts to Standard Bank and other banks at the time. The banks wanted their money back almost instantly! They already had massive debts at the time. It wasn't a profit, it was only the first (and only) cost cutting action they took.

If he makes people redundant that is quite a lot of redundancy pay to come out of his £2m. Is it 3 months notice? + generally 1 weeks pay per year employed (different ages get different deals) Well yes ,but there is a maximum to the statutory weekly wage used in that calculation. ie employers do not have to pay to more than £430 a week Many do pay actual weekly wage, but they do not have to do so legally. In theory you could have a player on £30k a week, whose been at the club for say a year, getting only £430 redundancy pay! However a) it would probably be considered to be reneging on a football debt by the FL, in not honouring the whole contract, and b) it would be very difficult to argue that any post of footballer at PFC was really redundant, when they are saying they do not have enough players. The 'poor bloody infantry' staff in the back office etc, though, I'm afraid should be feeling very nervous both about losing their jobs and about how much redundancy pay they'll get if they do go.

rallyboy Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 if Hacker owes pompey any money the only way they'll see that is if they can prise it out of Chanrai's cold dead fingers. AA still has a starring role to play here, what with his challenge, and any other mischief he gets up to - and he will. And when they say Feb's wages are to be paid, that'll be ten days of it, and it's going to players instead of tackling debts, thus annoying the taxman a little bit more. Putting the little issue of work-for-free January aside, Birch will do well to eke out the money for one month to cover four. His main aim must be to defer player's salaries - they simply can't get to the summer paying those wages, and they certainly can't bank on massive advance season ticket sales. They really need to Pack the Park - and there is no Chanrai excuse now, the club really needs their cash so I expect to see some 18/19K gates. But such is the insanity down there that those extra 4000 punters a fortnight will barely cover one player's wages. Birch also knows that he has CVA1 looming like a freight train - that'll be crunch time. April could be a big month for them. Or us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Nice comparison on the News site comments....... 35 [h=3]cd74[/h]Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 12:01 PM Thought it would be interesting to compare Coventry's squad as they have been mentioned a bit. They have a squad of 28, seems good to me, but look in a bit more detail and that squad includes 4 keepers, 2 of which are former academy keepers age 23 and 19 who have 2 appearances on the bench between them. There's then Her man who played 2 games and is out for the season, Eastwood who has apparently been unfit all season and is only now on the bench as they have no other options and McDonald who has played 5 times and been injured for most of the season. They have recently signed 2 loanees who are both 20. A further 9 players are under 21 with 5 being academy players. They have an 18 year old who has played 19 games and another who has played 22. Of course that's before you consider all the players they've had to let go as they can't afford the wages and the fact that they have a scout as a manager! When you look at it that squad of 28 looks pretty similar to ours if Appy would put the kids in. I'm sure he wants to protect them but equally I'm sure the other teams do as well! We need to be careful, if we keep on like this I can imagine other clubs asking questions and it could do more harm than good esp when the league still have the option to take more points off.

After the News printed the story that they would delay the unsecured March CVA payment, I went and read it (The CVA doc) and to put it bluntly .... they can. I think they have to pay Gaydamak his 1.2 mill and then the same again in August, but your man of the street has to wait Whether the authorites take action remains to be seen, but the CVA allows for 5 years to repay with only guidelines as to payment dates and no physical hardline debts. The way I read it is that they can wait 4 years, 364 days and make the total payment on the last day.

Dimond Geezer Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 (edited) With regards to the Skates bringing in loanees, surely it is in our best interests for them to do this, they have yet to play Leeds, Boro, Reading, Brighton, Brum & Hull, all of which are within 11 points of us. We could do with our fishy friends taking points off them. Just a thought. Edited 21 February, 2012 by Dimond Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 (edited) (Pompey) has suffered at the hands of the chancers who have owned it Pompey has also suffered at the hands of those who turned a blind eye to said "chancers" when it suited. Fans and CEO(s) alike. You're all accessories to the 'crime'. Ignorance is no defence. Sigh. Anyway, enjoy your pancakes this evening. The one night a year that Saints fans can join Pompey fans in being expert tossers. Edited 21 February, 2012 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Petworth Blue Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 01:55 PM Just had a look at this web site http://www.pfccommunityclub.com This would seem the best way for us as fans to buy the club. Have a look and register your interest. Pass this onto every Pompey fan. If 20,000 people invested £100 that makes £2 million, if 50,000 invested £100 that would be £5 million. Many of us would invest more, me included. **** me!!!! Where are they going to find 200 people to invest 100 pounds, let alone 20,000!!! 50,000 people??? What planet is this guy on?????:lol: He's spent too much time ****ing his sister/mother/brother/father!!! To be fair, Darlington fans have (so far) raised more than £200k in £100 shares in their new "community club" buyout since the scheme was launched last week. Pompey are a bigger club than Darlington, so there's no reason why they couldn't raise significant sums of money to fund a similar scheme, although I guess it would be much more suited to the phoenix club option rather than the current debt-saddled rabble.

suewhistle Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Glad you're coming around to the idea that the club has suffered at the hands of the chancers who have owned it. It's taken you long enough to agree with what I've been saying but well done for finally coming out in agreement. Good grief, it's been us that have told you each time as a new chancer has come along. Why do you think we find it so amusing; everything that's happened has been so predictable. To many denials each time it's been said, and many denials of the fact that you were trading insolvently. You've spectacularly missed the whole point of this thread.

OldNick Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Glad you're coming around to the idea that the club has suffered at the hands of the chancers who have owned it. It's taken you long enough to agree with what I've been saying but well done for finally coming out in agreement. Ref your line about Portsmouth being one of the most deprived areas in the country, you seem ill informed. According to the lastest government stats Portsmouth is listed as being number 23 on the list of deprived areas, one spot above Southampton. having said that, if you sort the data to show the rank of % of each city's population living in deprived circumstances Southampton is 86th compared to Portsmouth's 93rd. Funny how wrong you constantly are on this board for such self proclaimed geniuses http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/mar/29/indices-multiple-deprivation-poverty-england IMO Chanrai of all the people ever involved in your club, is the one you morons should be worshiping. If it was not for his money Pompey would have been gone forever. He fell for a bad business deal and got the runt of the litter. Yes he has since run the club to try and squeeze some money back but i would say without doubt that if he could put the clock back he would never have got involved in the first place.

Guided Missile Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 PMSL. Are all these posts (on this and other threads) yet more evidence about how little you all care about Pompey? (as you always tell me is the case). Your desperation for this proposed takeover to fall through is so patently full of jealousy that no Pompey fan could fail to laugh at the lot of you. Let's get this straight. The Sun say that the deal may (it's always "may" or "could" or "unnamned sources say" isn't it) fall through because Shinawatra "may" be involved. Then, when Shinawatra and Al Fahim both issue statements saying he's not involved they change tack to say the new "fear" is that someone at Man City's brother (his brother for God's sake) is involved in a company that Al Fahim runs called Hydra Properties, a company which he's said from the start of the process has absolutely nothing to do with the takeover. But you lot clutch at those straws, saying how much you'd love it if it fell through. You poor little mites. Is watching us rake in the cash in the top flight while you struggle on minus 10 points in Div 3 really hurting you that much? I guess it must be. By the way, if it's OK for you to say it, can I just drop into the mix that as your takeover is by no means done and dusted I hope it all falls through and that you either go out of business or get dumped into the Blue Square league. That only seems fair for me to hope given your hopes for Pompey, surely? Who the f*** is laughing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
