xerox Posted 2 March, 2012 Share Posted 2 March, 2012 Reading this thread reminds my why I LOVE Markus Liebherr... we really, really got lucky there in a way the Skates can only wish for in their evening prayers... we were very lucky to get markus but at the end of the day it was the stadium, training ground etc that made buying us such a great deal @£14m, that lot down the road don't have a pot to p1ss in. they can pray all they like but it wont do any good..

saint si Posted 2 March, 2012 Share Posted 2 March, 2012 Blues administrator Trevor Birch said: “It’s very tough to lose Liam but the club is in a grave situation and we have to do everything we can to stay afloat. ‘We are receiving a loan fee from Cardiff, who are paying Liam all his wages, so it’s a deal that is going to make a significant difference to us over the coming weeks.’ Interesting as that's not how loan wages work. PFC still pay his wages, and Cardiff will be paying PFC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at this point that we also should say a word or two of thanks to a certain Rupert Lowe who put it all into place before everything went pie shaped.

They would much prefer to keep all the high earners and go out of business much sooner.....I like it So they gave Huseklepp a 17k a week contract at the start of this season.... Nice one Lampitt.

stevegrant Posted 2 March, 2012 Share Posted 2 March, 2012 But is it really £11million? Yes they've got players on over-inflated contracts but its far from impossible to shift them on over the summer one way or another. Then you have to take into consideration they do have some other income apart from the parachute payments. Still a bleak picture, but I'd be surprised if they aren't at least taking a look at the figures to see what they can wrangle. A fair point, you would certainly expect them to be able to move on some of the higher earners in the summer, even if it meant them subsidising the wages to the tune of a few thousand pounds a week. However, there's no guarantee they will be able to do that, and at this stage they have contractual obligations to pay that money so the prudent approach is to take the worst-case scenario. Their matchday income is pretty low (around £6-7m), and their broadcasting revenue's going to be reduced next season regardless of which division they're in as the new Sky deal for the Football League kicks in, which is a 25% reduction on the current deal. In the Championship, they get around £4m for this season's broadcasting rights, but next season that'll be reduced to around £3m, so another £1m that needs covering. If they go down to League One, they'd be getting about £700k, so they'd need to find another £3.3m from somewhere to cover that shortfall. Also, while most of their parachute payments since relegation will have gone to football creditors, not all of it will have done. They were due to receive £16m per year for the first two years and then £8m a year for the next two. We're in the middle of that four-year period now, so the revenue drops by another £8m, and of course we now know that they're not going to see a great deal of the money that's still outstanding there.

Sour Mash Posted 2 March, 2012 Share Posted 2 March, 2012 Why would they care? If they're liquidated and released, they get a signing on fee elsewhere to compensate them. Because they're not getting paid their full whack at the moment, which they probably don't mind waiting for if they've got a CVA coming up, but no good if they're liquidated.

dubai_phil Posted 2 March, 2012 Share Posted 2 March, 2012 Obviously there was an element of luck in what happened but, to coin the old golfing adage, we went a long way to create our own luck in that our infrastructure and relatively low debt made us an attractive proposition to the right buyer. (A small ripple of applause there to a certain ex-chairman....) So, I don't accept a black and white analysis of "lucky" vs "unlucky" when comparing us with Pompey. Been a strange few days. To see what you have sensed would be likely to happen for so long start to appear before your own eyes is a bit of a shock. But not as shocking to discover that not only is a PTS stalwart now stalking celebs, he's also now not only mentioning but actually QUOTING Golf. So. time for a reality check. Dear uber googlers, go find the L1 table Then list the clubs by Stadium Capacity Then list them by %age of capacity filled Then, if you want to be precise then do a quick summary of their Infrastructure and the value of their playing squads. My bet? Someone in the top 10 in L1 will tick a lot of those boxes. Give their Chairman a quick call and ask them what percentage of their club you could buy for Let's start with 11mil shall we? Then, if it's a decent stadium (say Brammal lane or Hillsborough) maybe you could say 11mil for the Chairman and then 10 mil to invest in the team. Actually, why bother with L1? Just give Coventry a quick call It would save you at least 10mil on the cost of saving the phew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 As much as I enjoy the rivalry, in the words of Paul Weller and the Jam: "You've made your bed, you better lie in it". The next line in that song is also quite applicable "You choose your leaders, and place your trust, as the lies put you down and their promises rust". If the worst happens, maybe they ought to ask if they should have turned up to Fratton when they were needed to raise cash, and not just when AC Milan were in town.
