Clapham Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 I wonder what the excuse will be today? There could be a proper Chemical Ali moment at Eastleigh with some poor spokesman trotting out rubbish whilst Gordon Taylor (? PFA chap ?) stalks around in the background. Although possibly a bit petty on my part I think you mean "Comical Ali". Chemical Ali was a different, much less amusing and thoroughly unpleasant individual.

Daren W Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 We're not quite dead yet you know. It might not be a good idea to start crowing BEFORE we've gone into admin/gone bust/been relegated to the Blue Square south. Sometimes he who shouts loudest ends up with egg on his face. In truth, I have absolutely no idea whats going to happen next, but until we're kaput, I'll stick with PFC......... Funny, we said exactly the same thing last year when we faced administration and Pompey fans were all over us like a rash savouring our humiliation. Turnaround is fair play as they say. We're just savouring the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Could you please explain, exactly, how the word moral can be used in the correct context when talking about PFC and the PL? Whether its moral for the PL to take such a protectionist attitude towards football creditors or not (assuming their reidstribution of the money will happen and is legal).

Clapham Saint Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Whether its moral for the PL to take such a protectionist attitude towards football creditors or not (assuming their reidstribution of the money will happen and is legal). A very valid point IMO. Ensuring that football debts are repaid in full means that there is less available for the other non-secured creditors. Those that lose out are more likely to be smaller businesses which are less able to afford it. Ultimately, if football clubs aren't prepared to take the risk that another club will be unable to pay them then they shouldn't sell on credit. All IMO of course.

PES Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 Daren I have asked this question on here and on Pompey message Board but it gets ignored... "if Pompey are so much bigger than saints (400% it seems) then they should have NO PROBLEM gett a serious owner the moment they are available. As after all. Little old insignificant saints got themselves a billionaire whilst bottom of division 3. ?? Strangely, they won't answer How can anyone answer this question? Pompey will either get bought in some shape or form or they'll cease to exist. We won't know until either outcome comes to pass. It's an illogical question. Like saying, if England are so good, how come they have not won the 2010 World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 The wheels are starting to turn. pompey have lost one of their biggest allies today, as I think we can assume, based on their actions, that they no longer have the support of the Premier League. Not just the fact of paying the money directly to other clubs, but forcing Ohara out, shows they have run out of patience. They want them gone, pompey have embarrassed their brand (Although I suspect a few more clubs will follow them) and the fat ladys dressing room is being prepared. They might well of course come up with another few million, to keep them going and might even pay their players today, but whether it's admin, gadamak revealed as the true owner or the tax man closing them down, the only thing that will save them as a club, is a white knight and i'm not sure how many of those are left. Whilst it has been fun to watch and sneer so far, the end game is nearly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 5 January, 2010 Share Posted 5 January, 2010 it's about time Barclays came out and apologised for the appalling service they've been giving the club - every month there's a mistake, a corrupted file here, further delay there - the bank manager needs to explain exactly why his staff keep making these errors. And as a sponsor of the best league in the world the bank is bringing the Prem into disrepute and making one of it's established and respected clubs look silly.

The monies were last seen entering a branch of Mizrahi Tefahot Bank in the Russian Federation city of Saratov.' How about: "Peter Storrie was in one queue at the bank getting the wages out but the others seemed to be going quicker so he joined one of those queues. Then, would you believe it, the queue he joined slowed down and the one he left got quicker. This has happened a large number of times now, so it seems that (through some rather bad luck) he is now 125th in the queue when he was originally only 4th in line. At this rate, he will get the money sometime in June. Please don't blame us - blame the bank. Thank you, Portsmouth Football and Comedy Club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
