hutch Posted 9 March, 2012 Share Posted 9 March, 2012 The quote that gets me is "We don't always do it". If that's not admitting to special treatment I don't know what is. Or you could look at it another way. Most Football League clubs going into administration don't also have a pretty big wedge of parachute payments still to come from the Premier League, and the only way their Football Creditors can be settled is from the monthly money due from the FL. If TB explained to him that there's still more than enough to come from the PL parachutes to settle all the Football Creditors, with some left over, I think he would have found it difficult to argue.

Haha. That actually puts liquidation in another positive light for them. Struggle on constrained by the crooks or start afresh low down leasing the stadium from the council. In terms of their growth it could hamper their overall potential. Leasing a ground can take a very high amount out of an operational budget (ask Coventry.....) and will restrict the funds that could be spent on other areas, such as the first team. If they really have a desire to be operationally solvent in the future it may restrict them as a club to something the size of Preston North End or Barnsley. If not slightly lower.

Mmmm, funny how the Tories become in favour of state intervention when there are votes at stake. OK, so they'll only do a deal if Pompey are liquidated but do they really think a Conference South or lower non-league side will be able to pay rent to cover the costs incurred by the Council. Would be a real struggle even if they do get the crowds they hope for. We know that they almost failed to renew safety certificates on some areas of the ground.

Ken Tone Posted 9 March, 2012 Share Posted 9 March, 2012 @TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey Leader of Portsmouth City Council says council is negotiating to buy Fratton Park- but would only do a deal if club liquidated. Can someone please explain that logic to me? After the club ceases to exist, the council may consider buying the ground. Presumably this would be to preserve it as a football ground , rather than Chainrai etc overthrowing the planning constraints and building housing or a Tesco's? But then the council would be tying up a chunk of its capital for no noticeable return. (Does it even have any capital reserves or might it have to borrow to do this?) Any 'phoenix' successor club after liquidation would be in non-league , so could not afford to pay anything like a proper rent to the council. They'd be wasting public money.

The only thing that strikes me, if they go down the CPO route, with no football club there, and the 'sport' planning restriction still in force, maybe it becomes next to worthless and they pick it up for a song, thereby not needing to charge an arm and a leg to recoup a decent return on capital from any phoenix club?

If plan B is the best we can expect it certainly won't be from gate receipts" What a miserable defeatest f**king attitude. Do you really have so little faith in the fans of Pompey, When Wimbledon started at the bottom of the pyramid they were getting gates of 3 to 6k. That' not much less than they were getting before they went under. We are a bigger club then they ever were and have a good 8 - 12k hardcore supporters - Also Luton are comfortably running their ground in the non league - how much maintanence do you think FP will require. We can easily afford to keep FP going if we become a non league club. So according to this guy they will still be getting 15k in non league and would easily afford the rent and upkeep of the ground.

I have survived the initial attacks and now have my feet under the table. I have positioned myself as a technology dinosaur old boy fratton regular, my dumbed down posts fit right in over there. Over the coming weeks I will become more provocative with my postings and eventually I plan to become an ITKer! Quite a nice forum layout IMO. @TonyHusbandBBC: #pompey Leader of Portsmouth City Council says council is negotiating to buy Fratton Park- but would only do a deal if club liquidated. That will be funny, pompey CC handing over £17m of council tax payers to loan shark Chinny and another £3m to Gaddy gun runner. The skates will be paying a mortgage on fratton park to the council for a whole generation. Plus the maintenence costs and urgent repairs to obtain basic health and safety certificates (like last years improvements to the arena... fat in the pipes, hot water, installing a toilet) Renting a ground from the council for 20 years will give them a home, the problem is they are handing over money for a property that will be worthless by the time they get round to owning it. By 2032 I struggle to think of the state fratton park will be in! £17m mortgage for this: # Hardly value for money for vendor and leaseholder surely? The council need to demonstrate value for money when using the tax payers cash, not sure how paying 6-7 time over the odds for a liability would do that. Moneyfields would be a far better option.

If it's to counter the various arguments and opinions put forward by us 'scummers', also understandable to a degree, you'd think he would actually check his facts and deal with the specifics of the questions. But he doesn't, he replies in his scattergun 'you're all so sad' way. So we'll all laugh at him. If it's 'for a laugh' then he's been successful... we all laugh at him!

trousers Posted 9 March, 2012 Share Posted 9 March, 2012 Can I ask what is potentially one of my daftest question yet? (yes, I know, there's a shed load of candidates for that particular accolade...) IF PFC were to be liquidated, is there anything in the Football League rules that would prevent a deal being done whereby the 'phoenix' club that is then formed inherits the 'golden share' from the liquidated club via some kind of murky deal with the Football League? In other words, are there actually any written rules that stipulate a club that is liquidated can't reform and be given the golden share again in the football league? The more I write this the more I realise it's a dumb question but, if the Football League, Portsmouth politicians and Trevor Birch get to the point where they are all convincing each other that Pompey have been hard done by (in terms of their 'unfair' share of dodgy owners) then could they be trying to hatch a plan whereby they go into liquidation as a way of shaking off the likes of Chainrai and Gaydamark's hold over the club but come to a compromise arrangement whereby the 'punishment' is curtailed by ensuring that PFC2010 get relegated (via more points penalties if necessary) and the golden share is then handed over to the phoenix club. The reason for this hair-brained notion is I get the feeling that the people trying to save the club (FL, the council, Birch, etc) are starting to see liquidation as the solution rather than a barrier to a solution but want to cushion the effect of taking that route.

IF PFC were to be liquidated, is there anything in the Football League rules that would prevent a deal being done whereby the 'phoenix' club that is then formed inherits the 'golden share' from the liquidated club via some kind of murky deal with the Football League? In other words, are there actually any written rules that stipulate a club that is liquidated can't reform and be given the golden share again in the football league? The more I write this the more I realise it's a dumb question but, if the Football League, Portsmouth politicians and Trevor Birch get to the point where they are all convincing each other that Pompey have been hard done by (in terms of their 'unfair' share of dodgy owners) then could they be trying to hatch a plan whereby they go into liquidation as a way of shaking off the likes of Chainrai and Gaydamark's hold over the club but come to a compromise arrangement whereby the 'punishment' is curtailed by ensuring that PFC2010 get relegated (via more points penalties if necessary) and the golden share is then handed over to the phoenix club. The reason for this hair-brained notion is I get the feeling that the people trying to save the club (FL, the council, Birch, etc) are starting to see liquidation as the solution rather than a barrier to a solution but want to cushion the effect of taking that route. I believe that Middlesbrough effectively did this in the late 80's. The rules may well be different now though. Indeed they did, in 1986. The club went into liquidation, Steve Gibson managed to get a consortium together at the last minute and they purchased the lot and carried on.

dronskisaint Posted 9 March, 2012 Share Posted 9 March, 2012 Does Portsmouth Football Club exist anymore, are they not called Portsmouth Football Club 2010 Ltd? Would this have any affect on restrictions/covenants in the former name? I think the words ...(in administration) .... are all that's missing from your title question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
