Doctoroncall Posted 14 July, 2012 Share Posted 14 July, 2012 out if interest who'd challenge it? The PST, unless Brian Howe comes riding in! If they can get the value reduced, it may help them long term. It's a huge ask and if they are depending on that to make a buy-out possible they're screwed. I would think the only option is for the PST to rent first, only if BC can see more gain in that than liquidation (especially in light of the surrounding land available to buy).

dronskisaint Posted 14 July, 2012 Share Posted 14 July, 2012 I seem to recall PKF gave nottarfkrap a £13m value in the recent administration report. Would have thought League would accept that sum. Perhaps they ought to get an independent valuation? What would be funny and also a timely lesson for administrators would be to get them to pay the difference...too much false accounting and dodgy, variable valuations of the sort Andronikou should be struck off for...or better still be forced to do the above.

carljack Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 while some of you are feeling smug, let's dish out some blame...the nominations for who did the most damage to plucky old pompey - Mandaric - started the ball rolling with over-inflated contracts followed by legging it when the writing was on the wall, and he sold to lunatics. Promised a stadium, knocked down a shed. Skate hero rating, Storrie - Pete me old mucker, was at the helm of the train crash when it really jumped the rails - dished out more ridiculous contracts than Avram used johnnies. Didn't kill anyone but was found next to the body with a knife in his hand so many times it got silly. Skate hero rating, was once 10, now about 2. Mush. Arry - bled the club dry, imposed crazy transfer policy that seemed to benefit him more than the club, legged it at first sound of sirens. Skate hero rating, was 10, now 0. Gaydamak - maimed children for a living, never spoke, his ownership was illegal from day one. Skate hero rating - see Arry. Al Fahim - sold many cornettos and mini milks, refused to wear an XXXL, may well be the only person who ever actually put some money in, even though he was a potless fantasist, did pop up again when he saw the recent selling price. Skate hero rating 3. Al Faraj - didn't rip the fans off, didn't sign anyone on ludicrous contracts, didn't steal from charities, didn't exist. Not on the pitch long enough to judge - in fact was never on the pitch. CSI - were revealed as criminals on here within one minute of appearing, to everyone's surprise down east, they later turned out to be criminals. Skate hero rating - see Arry. Chanrai - loaned money at crazy rate for personal gain all dressed up as a friendly businessman helping out, covered himself by securing anything not nailed down, never quite fell in love with the club, seems to have come a cropper. Skate hero rating - never that popular, anything between 0 and 6. AA - Chinny paid cash, AA danced like a little puppet. Pulled some cracking stunts along the way, signed some nice photos. Skate hero rating - 10 when signing autographs, about 1 when representing CSI. Birch - has told them what they want to hear at every turn, Skate hero rating - about 1 after today. Lampitt - truly woeful performance in every department, worryingly inept, Skate hero rating, was 9, currently 0. Grant - set a new record for consecutive defeats, made an awful speech, poked little Avram in some crack addicts and asked his wife to say it was okay. We couldn't take his spirit but we also could watch him relegate two clubs quicker than he could drop his baggy Y-fronts behind an oil tank, an appalling record as coach and husband, Skate hero rating 10. Cotterill - the coaching genius who kept them up against the plucky odds, thought his side should have won every game, really odd interviews, terrible record, suicidal transfer policy, Skate hero rating, 10 the day before he left, 1 the following morning. UnAppy - poor record as a manager, talked sense early doors but has bought in to the spin and delusion of late, has a holiday in Gibraltar to look forward to, Skate hero rating 10. The Players - were offered crazy deals, couldn't resist and why should they, Skate hero rating, was 10 during loyal plucky January non-transfer window, about 1 now. The fans - if we put aside the laughable claims and bear in mind there are several levels of delusion/sense, they have stood around in numbers and applauded every raping, and they still distance themselves from all woes, yet they give themselves a 10... The football authorities - dished out nasty penalties, didn't stop them getting into bed with criminals, told refs to give decisions against them, etc, yawn. Skate hero rating 0. The PTS thread - nutjobs claiming to be experts, have called a lot of things right, and some things wrong, have annoyed many Skates, and the league got so fed up they took action - best moments, too many Ho ones to list, and when one of their own said they were all nutjobs and the thread was over bang in the middle of a pompey crisis - he knows who he is, and so do we! No rating on the Skate hero-meter. Did I miss anyone? -there were other supporting roles but I think that's the ones that did the main damage, up to this point. So as a personal choice, I would suggest that few pompey staff escape criticism but if I was looking at who has damaged the club the most, I would go for Storrie and Arry as a team, but the club might have been in much better shape had Lampitt not chucked it over a second cliff. In fact, the man who gave out contracts that could never be honoured, oversaw the theft from charities and welcomed organised crime with open arms must be up for the top award. I would love to give thanks to all of the above as they have all damaged pfc, but for me, Lampitt is the man who found a seriously injured dog in the street and instead of calling a vet, he held it so Avram could have a go, then he shot it in the face, using stolen firearms. Step up Mr Integrity, and don't forget to register your wages above the charity cash en route - we can't have those pesky wheelchair kids keeping your snout out of the trough. Hindsight is a great thing. Who could have realised that having outgoings that dwarf your income, trading insolvently, pursuing a suicidal transfer policy, taking money from loan sharks, doing business with arms dealers, or getting in bed with the mafia could end in tears. If only there had been some clues. You have to feel sorry for them, especially after they've been so nice to us. God bless the FL. Rallyboy with respect I think we need to add a name to the very top of your list,in this man bought PFC for a paltry quid in 1997,he made it a priority to build the "New" Fratton stand and put a roof on the North stand the fans loved him,little did they know that the whole lot could not be financed and would eventually bankrupt PFC and see them enter Administration for the First time,soon after this man through his company Vencorp paid himself a 300k "Bonus", within weeks the players were not being paid and the PFA had to step in (history repeating ?).With the club in financial ruin he sold control to Gregory junior for another 300K (asking 500K) who by then were in Admin and talking to Milan Mandorovich,as you have probably guessed by now Terry Venables is the name that must Top your list,just as an afterthought Venables appeared in court and was banned from holding any Directorship for 7 years for his involvement in PFC and "other" Companies. Terry Venables a true Sporting Hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouldy Coat Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 Part of me thinks someone like Milan Mandaric will come in and save them - but then you realise he is already at another club so that is unlikely and also they have the small misfortune of a 5 year restriction, -10 , no players, contracts to fulfil, + other debt. There is surely only one outcome. Even the PST must be thinking they would be best off start again than service all that sh1t. On one hand if they survive, we will probably see them struggle for many years to come, but I think I still prefer liquidation They will fold 1 week before bompey.

rallyboy Posted 15 July, 2012 Share Posted 15 July, 2012 sorry to be controversial but I've never really wanted them liquidated, I just wanted to see a decent punishment imposed for the blatant criminality and cheating. If you'd asked me a while back when it looked like they could hang onto their Championship status, I'd have said I wanted to see them starting in League One with about -15. Let's not forget that it wouldn't have required too much for us to be facing the nightmare scenario of starting in the same divison as them in a few weeks - that would've been grossly unfair. So on that basis, we are not far off the punishment that I hoped to see. If you add in the financial restrictions then perhaps we are there. If anyone still thinks they've got away with it - they've plummeted through two divisions and are potless, plus our change in fortunes has just compounded the dwindling few's misery. So for me justice has almost been done - all we need now is some sort of apology or admission of guilt and I'm happy, and from the way their fans were throwing coins and abuse out of the South Stand on our final visit to fortress fatpipes, I can see we are nearly there... I have no wish to see them saved, I certainly won't shed tears if HMS Liquidation cruises quietly past the Round Tower, the damage has all been self-harm with full fan support. But I see their current state as a pretty decent punishment, and the restrictions should halt any thoughts of a repeat. Put me down for August 2nd.

For Penny to blame footballing authorities for all this really wound me up. In all honesty what else could they have done? If the Russians hadn't taken over they would have went to the wall anyway. If the authorities had stopped the Russians and they did go pop, there would have been a uproar especially as the Russians had proof of funds. It's unfortunate for them but when are they going to admit that if the club was run correctly they wouldn't have had a run in the prem and 2 FA cup finals. Now they are PAYING THE PRICE for that.
