Brizzie Saints Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 A total of 16,770 supporters packed into the ground to show unity in the face of the Pompey’s grim plight just days after the club’s administrator Trevor Birch admitted it may not reach the end of the season. Pompey fans, however, were determined to see their club survive ahead today’s match. Joe Hamson, 19, of Victoria Avenue, Widley, said: ‘We are going to stick behind them. We are still in the dark about it and hopefully we can find someone to pay it all off and get through it. ‘I will continue to come to games and show support.’ Phil Arnold, 54, travelled from Taunton in Somerset with his son Josh, 15, to watch the game. Phil said: ‘We go to every home game. I’m pretty upset about the thought of what might happen. ‘The main thing is we stay in business. If the worst happens and we get relegated it’s a minor thing, I think most of us would rather see the club survive.’ Josh added: ‘Let’s get behind the team and hopefully we will see it out until the end of the season. ‘We are definitely the best fans in the country and keep packing the park.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 The meeting with Birch earlier. Just to update you all. (I didn't take notes but will put down the main points and ask for a more thorough report from Bill later) - Birch will be asking the Football League to release a sum of money that would keep Pompey going until the end of the season. If the FL say "no" then the club's money will run out in early/mid April unless player deals can be done. - On the topic of player deals, clubs have expressed an interest in the players that Pompey don't want to lose. Birch has tried to offload the other high earners but hasn't been able to. There is a chance that he might try to agree mutual severance packages with players if it comes to it. - There are no serious buyers currently interested in buying the club. Birch was hoping that the statement he released during the week would flush out any potential buyers. - However, Balram Chainrai is interested in buying the club and wants to meet with Birch. - Out of interest, Birch asked the group if Chainrai was the only alternative then would we prefer the club to go forward with Chainrai or risk liquidation? Two tentative hands were raised in favour of Chainrai with the rest saying no. - Birch also suggested that rather than channel funds and energy into trying to keep the club afloat (as it will be going into a black hole), it would be more productive to save up for starting anew. My personal view, reading between the lines is that Birch believes that this will be the end and he wanted to guage fans' opinion on liquidation. Speaking to Ken Malley from FSF after the meeting, he told me that if we were to start a new club then the deadline for registration is 1st of May. Given that there is this three week period to set up the new club, the old one would effectively have to be liquidated at the start of April for a new one to be in place for next season. I think that's the bulk of it. I think Birch said it best when he stated that the club is 100m in debt, stands to make a huge loss over the course of the year, doesn't own a ground, doesn't own the land around it, doesn't own an academy and the playing squad is valued at around £2 million. Anyway, here are the full notes from Bill Gillon of PompeyOnline, so credit to him for taking them. Birch has held meetings with the Football League, and learnt last Tuesday that the club will receive no further funds over and above which is already normally due. Birch had hoped for an advance on subs, but the Football League have said the cannot help any further. Despite media hints to the contrary, Birch knew about the situation regarding Gaydamak's money. The club will only be liquidated once Birch does not see cash in the club to go forward, at which point he would bring the club to an 'orderly close', which is part of his duties. Despite talk and rumour to the contrary, Birch is not working solely for the interests of HMRC, but to achieve the best result for all creditors and the club. He made the statements he did earlier this week to, partly, flush out people who have been hovering about and looking at the club and, also, to help concentrate minds. He is still talking to the Football League and is hopeful that, by Monday, he will have had it confirmed that the club will continue to receive it's scheduled monthly distributions. He hopes the club will receive 500k in April, which will ensure things look better as regards getting the club to the end of the season. He is talking to Michael Appleton as regards the player situation. A final option might be to break player contracts, but this is a last resort and it would be treading a fine line, as the Football League could terminate our membership. The question was asked as to whether Chainrai was preparing a bid, and Birch confirmed that he expected to hear from him. He stated that he felt a bid would only go forward if Chainrai's debenture was deemed valid. Birch, no matter what, wants a successful conclusion come what may. There is other interest in the club, and Birch is meeting other people next week. As things currently stand, there is no concrete 'hot to trot' certain commitment. Club costs equate to £3.5m to see the club to the end of June, with a buyer having to fund a loss of £5-10m next year under current contracts and situation. A lawyer's letter has been sent to Chainrai/Portpin, which was sent on Friday. This is to request that Chainrai give his view and justification for the debenture. Birch is now awaiting a reply. There was an issue with the planned price reductions for the Middlesbrough game. Birch has organised working groups for each part of the club operations, and final arrangements for the price reductions had slipped through the net during a busy and short time frame, which Birch apologises for. A discussion took place as regards Chainrai. Gerald Vernon-Jackson confirmed that Chainrai had been talking to him and planned to speak to the administrators. Birch asked for opinions, and a show of hands, as to whether people would prefer a club under Chainrai or liquidation, only one person was in favour of Chainrai involvement (out of around 15-20 people there). The question was also raised as to whether people would be in favour of Chainrai involvement alongside the Trust and, again, this was dismissed as any fan involvement was felt would be minimal and easily overuled. It is confirmed that, as things stand, Chainrai and CSI are the majority creditors. As regards Gaydamak's land, Birch has tried to make contact and left messages with Bruce Van Den Berg but, as things stand, has had no reply. It is confirmed that David Lampitt is dealing with Genoa about monies owed. As things stand, the club has money to survive until mid-April but, as mentioned earlier, it is hoped that, next week, the situation will mean the club will, at least, be able to see out the season. It was decided that, in order to make an attempt to seek information and intent, that a request is made via Gerald Vernon-Jackson to arrange a meeting with Conference representatives and Chainrai. The representatives would be made up of board members of the Trust plus current Conference chair Tony Goodall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint_in_munich Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 As an avid reader of this thread and someone who does not post i feel compelled to post today. (Stolen from saintcarp or something, can't be rsed to troll back for his name) Loving it all, I have read every single post on this thread and it often takes me hours to catch up but I must congratulate all you regular posters for making every day enjoyable for me. I understand that its not down to you lot but just the train crash they call the sleeping giants. I have been a Saints fan since the age of 6 in 1973/4 season and watched all home games (and a good deal of away) till 1998 since when I have watched from afar (getting home occasionally). The people that say we need the rivalry need to think about the facts, in the 38 odd years I have followed the Saints I have witnessed a dozen derby games (give or take as its a rough estimate), to me that's not enough to say keep them alive. There have been some great games and atmospheres in these past games but the "bubble" has changed even that, added to the fact the recent game was garbage, its over. The day they go I will be popping the bottles of champers I have in the fridge. Thanks everyone for all the enjoyment you have given me so far, I need to say this now as I think the end is near. I have an open invite for any Saints in Texas, I will throw a party when they go pop, free booze for anyone welcome to toast their death. UTS COYR.

Doctoroncall Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 (edited) Sounds like toast! Sounds like they were at two different meetings! Also if Chainrai did take over again, how many fans would turn up and support? If they wanted to hurt him, then a boycott is the only way... Starve him of money especially if they go down as that would then be the largest source of income. Edited 4 March, 2012 by Doctoroncall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why would the admin ask the fans if they wanted chainrai as owner?

I don't think TB could, but is expect a much more thorough FPPT by the FL and possibly see them blocking it due to the history of his previous tenures. Especially as he has publicly confessed he'd be "reluctant" to do it in "the interim". If they don't block him, it'll just degenerate into further farce.

Ric Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 All the signs are that the toaster has been brought out of the cupboard, dusted off, and plugged in... but I won't believe it will happen (however much Birch insinuates that it's very, very close) until it really does happen. In the meantime, the mere suggestion that the one person who might save them from liquidation is Balram Chainrai - no doubt to string out this slow motion car crash for another few months/years - is too funny for words.

Gorgiesaint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 The advance season ticket sales would be very interesting to watch that's for sure. Also why would the admin ask the fans if they wanted chainrai as owner? Surely his job is just to get the best deal for the creditors and if chainrai is the only interested party with any money could he legally refuse a sensible offer? This is going to get interesting. Firstly, IMO there is no way that the FL could bar Chainrai under their owners & directors test, it is objective in that Chainrai would have needed to be the owner for 2 unconnected insolvency events - which he hasn't. http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20110629/appendix-4_2293633_2128219 So if he is the only one who will step forward and save the phew, then this really is an acid test of the phew and how much they've really learnt over the last few years. The fans themselves will have the power to get rid of Chainrai once and for all by boycotting the club and driving the final nail in the financial coffin - Chinny will have no option but to liquidate himself as he won't keep throwing money into the pit. However if they continue to get gates consummate to the league they are in (i.e. circa 8k in league one) then the phew will shown themselves to be what they really are. No doubt, they will just say that they're true fans supporting the club through thick & thin - but the reality is that they are happy to support one of the characters that has caused so much damage to 'their' club. I feel sorry for TB here, he can see what's coming, and he know's that the phew are going to blame him for selling the club back to Chainrai, but he has no choice - his job is to get the best result for the creditors. It'll be over to the phew, have the fans learnt the lessons of the last 5 or so years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 All our esteemed heros should be invited to say a word or two, raise a toast etc Chinny, Azougy, Storrie, Hart, Jacobs, Gadaffi Jnr, Antonov, Ben Haim, Clotteril, AA, Ahmed Mirage, Cala, Avram... it would be a cracking guest list Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la - WTFILN Pack the Park Fat in the Pipes One guy who I think deserves to be on there that I haven't seen mentioned is Ben Sahar, the former Chelsea youngster. He went on loan to Pompey for 6 months in 2008 and didn't make a single appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 I reckon it's bubbling up nicely. Squad weakening, Chanrai getting desperate, judgement day is coming. The genuine progress this time is a proper administrator reducing the wagebill. The sporting advantage they've helped themselves to for a decade is being stripped back and that has to be good for the league. When Lord Lucan Lampitt refused to reduce costs during January I thought they were going to flick the Vs all the way to oblivion. So I'm happy that justice is slowly being dealt out on the pitch, we just need to expose this ridiculous myth about the park being packed by the bestest, and 'thousands' demonstrating at the end against nothing in particular. How long before the penny drops andthe few start to spot the potential of a farewell hammering at SMS? Will we see desperate last minute calls for liquidation in the build-up? Chanrai will be the good excuse for that one. I 4-1 look forward to their visit and would be most disappointed if they dodge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as the next contributor pointed out; that's been written down now as a threat, perhaps someone should forward it to the proper authorities at St. Mary's.

miserableoldgit Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 16770 there yesterday for another "Park the Pork". How many were Phew fans? Oh well, it is "Quality Over Quantity" at FP nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey_saint Posted 4 March, 2012 Share Posted 4 March, 2012 Ah, but they were the bestest 16770 of the best fans in the world so that equates to 50,000 apparently! Personally, if they don't get liquidated soon, I think being done up the crapper by Chinny again is as equally funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
