Alanh Posted 14 May, 2012 Share Posted 14 May, 2012 Chanrai has stated he will not let the club be liquidated... think he will step in at last minute and string this out - get a CVA that starts in 2017 by which time he will have the Parachute 14 mil to pay himself off as a secured creditor.... and sold the club and remaining debt for £1... possible? Yes, that's exactly what is going to happen. BC has said that he will step in if no one else buys the club. His motivation for that is to ensure that the remaining parachute payments are paid out to whatever is left of the club. He should know that there is no chance of getting back to the Prem now without major investment so he'll go into asset stripping mode, getting as many of the big earners off the books as he can without a care for the impact on the playing side of things. Once he's got the PPs he'll sell the club to anyone who will take it off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 14 May, 2012 Share Posted 14 May, 2012 it's really boring when they just sit there going slowly but steadily bankrupt. I miss Avram with his big serious grave-digger face, funny speeches, and his wayward genitals' club-financed outings. And Cotterill was funny too, always saying they were the better side - and charity begins at home Lampitt - the quality over quantity duo! What became of Storrie mush....and AA signing autographs - and all the hilarious claims they used to make about the future - those funny little things that used to spill out of their naughty mouths when they opened them. I also miss the woman on the mobility scooter, I believe she ran over one of the car park owner's finest, and just like Cardiff, she probably lost both legs. They've become a boring nothing club - even the media have moved on. pompey is the club that time forgot, and then everyone else did too. Come on Birchy, we demand to be entertained!

If chinny takes the club on, then he will be unable to move any of the big earners because they will know their wages are safe. He will have no choice but to pay up EVERY week. He is buggered,that's why Trev is trying to move them out now so he can get a buyer,any buyer. I believe they are well and truly heading for the cliff. Chinny isn't going to cough up £10,000,000 next year for some PP's. And it doesn't stop there. Include, trying to agree a CVA when the creditors will think "this chap has got some dough,we can get more of our money back now" I think chinny said what he said to flush out a buyer. He does not want liquidation,but he will probably have to accept that. Will he end up with the ground ? I have no idea but the ground will not dissapear and someone will end up with it/or the land beneath it. The carpark "land" will also be worth loads and we all know who owns that.

Taking place from July 16-26, their stay is expected to include an as-yet unconfirmed second friendly, this time on Spanish soil. For Gibraltar, Pompey’s arrival is something of a coup as they maintain their push towards Uefa recognition. The country remains in the international wilderness, not yet allowed to compete against their peers, instead lining up a series of friendlies against the Faroe Islands, Bury and Rochdale."

And what next years will be.... Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves will all get the same as Birmingham, Blackpool and West Ham. The new TV deal that has been put out to tender recently is for 2013-2016. That said, because one of either Blackpool and West Ham will be going straight back up, the parachute payments that they would have received will be distributed evenly among next season's Championship clubs instead.

edprice1984 Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 £41,349,647 for staying up! QPR did have a couple more live games which meant more cash so that figure is based on the equal share from the Premier League, Overseas TV Money, your Merit payment (ie where you finish) and 10 live games (the minimum). If Saints succeed next year and stay in the league we can expect that as a minimum payment...quite incredible sums of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is, but in reality meaningless as everyone else gets teh same or 20 mil more for winning the darn thing - thos eta the top also have CL moneys (20-30 mil) + usually rich benefactors pumping in 200mil+ to supplement wages/transfers... or if like Manure, multi-millions in commercial revenues and sponsorship, so despite what looks like a fair sum, 80% of which will go on wages - its no advantage really.

dingbattigger Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 Parachute payments are supposed to help bridge the gap between Premier and Championship levels. So how come Portsmouth will still receive them having dropped to League 1 (if they're lucky)? Surely they have had time to sort out their finances, and having dropped another league yet still receiving pp creates an uneven playing field for the rest of the league?

holepuncture Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 It seems every time this thread goes quiet something BIG is just around the corner. Hopefully not long to wait for more excitement!. Its the calm before (the next) storm... I thought today was the skate trusts deadline to raise another 1000 pledges so that they can formalise the share proceedings... they raised well under half of those required pledges, which included skates reneging on their mortgages, so im not sure where they can go from here. Perhaps the quiet is the realisation that it really is all over, those nutjobs on scummerzweb called it right all along... time to hitch the caravan and head for moneyfields. Remember the posts made by somebody in the corporate area of the arena with sponsors, and Lampitt was drunkenly saying how its all over, we will fight to the very death... its funny how these signals normally get ignored until the inevitable hindsight kicks in... I can only assume Cardiff are still thinking about squads as I have not heard anything. ‘I would like to think they might be interested in him, but as it stands there has been no feedback. I’m still regularly speaking to his agent and just seeing how it goes. ‘Liam is still contracted to Cardiff until the end of May. Poor old Trev, nobodies talking to him! Terrible news that Liam is being paid by Cardiff for the next two weeks though, that would have been a nice present for the month of May. Clubs are taking a little post season break at present, hence Trevors firesale currently resembling a tealight... So far he has shaken off promising young defender Pearce for half a million, with young skate Ward looking to go today or tomorrow. Two of the lowest wage earners in the squad, attracting the only interest so far! As we have done in the past, the only players you pick up in this situation is the best young talent before somebody else nicks them. Eg, Surman and Dyer from us, Stephens from Plymouth etc. Clubs will not be bothering to take anything other than lower earning talent off their hands before the FL AGM on June 2nd. After which point they will know whether they can mop up the players post liquidation, or they will offer Chinny some loan deals for a % of the wages. Tal Ben Haim is not going anywhere! The big earners are in it for the long haul, like chinny, my position is secured, I will get my money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be Mr Birch, you should have sold him to Ipswich when you had the chance, instead of gambling on staying up. Seems like they all fall under some strange spelll down there It is noticeable that their two best young players are on the lowest salaries and are the only two to attract any interest. They are worth paying for to secure, but the rest of them quite literally can't even be given away. Every day that goes by without anything happening really does make liquidation seem the only outcome. We've all seen enough westerns - It's quiet, too damned quiet out there.........

Under Weststand Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 (edited) So the supposed firesale has so far failed to materialise, the players seem reluctant to go as they know their wages are covered by parachute payments. Liquidation brings them free transfers & add on's in signing on fee's! The trust buyout is just pure fantasy, surely they should be getting the money in place now, for the FL meeting at the end of the month, as they will have to guarantee & show they have the finances in place to back up the guarantee's. Not still trying to get pledges in. It's hard cash the FL will need to see, not bravado, pipe dream's & pledges. Feels as though we are sat in the eye of the storm at the moment.

Gruffalo Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 Clearly someone on the skates OS thinks there's at least some possibility they might still be trading come June 3rd - Season tickets for Pompey’s 2012/13 season are scheduled to go on sale by early June. Members of the Supporters Conference will be consulted by the club before the new prices are set. While the future of the club remains uncertain, income from season ticket sales will be ring-fenced in a trust bank account controlled by the administrators, ensuring supporters’ monies are protected.

Where is the spare ground where it can be accommodated at Gunwharf? There isn't any. And what of the ferries, Brittany, Isle of Wight and Gosport that have to be allowed for? Proximity of decent large hotels? Southampton has two, right opposite the venue. Gunwharf? Just the small Holiday Inn. Road access to bring the boats and the general public to the venue? Excellent for Southampton, a bit of a nightmare for Portsmouth. Proximity of the City Centre? Again, Southampton wins, with plenty of Bars, Restaurants and shops within walking distance. And any member of the family who doesn't wish to look at the boats, can visit Ikea instead. Historical precedence giving good know-how of how these events are organised? Well, that's Southampton too.
