derry Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 You can see Clarkes comments from the Parliamnetary committee stream earlier: http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=11262 You also get some funny comments from Mr Lampitt about governance and regulation of clubs to stop the going all quality over quantity! Lampitt says the FCR is wrong (despite registering himself as a FC to the detriment of local creditors)! Later on Lampitt gets mugged off for being the former CEO of disgraced pompey. In fact pompey gets a few mentions... you can see the committee members just want to bang on about pompey but the restrain themselves and talk about 'a club that gets itself in distress'... Clarke was rather scathing about the viability of trust ownership of clubs, saying they had no chance outside of L2/Non-League... and in other news: the trust bid launches! Pledges now have to go from £100 to £1000, it will be interesting to see what happens now, especially after Derry believes they have absolutely no chance. And then there was this in Chinnys local newspaper: The problem that Save Our Saints had was the the same problem PST will have. The money was running out, Pinnacle wasted everybody's time as preferred bidder and the only thing that saved us was a buyer able to write out a cheque immediately. Any group that has to wait until the clock is run down cannot react quickly enough. Chanrai will have to pull out which would leave PST the only show around and Birch will have to fund the club until money is raised. Providing of course the expensive players walk. Liquidation and using the money raised to form a phoenix club seems a more reasonable solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Red Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 (edited) I think there might be some milage in getting Rallyboy onto some more creative writing. The Secret Diary of Trevor Perch, Age 45 3/4 The story of a top notch football administrator who lives with his mum and secretly suffers from fear of the dark and irritable bowel syndrome, driven to the brink of despair by his affair with a local Newspaper Journo and his role of trying to rescue the bestest football club in the world (or that's what his tattoo covered book store owning half-brother told him when he agreed to take the job). Despised by his Partners for continually accepting work that doesn't pay and soon to be struck off HMRC's preferred list when they realise he's kept the club running for 6 months longer than necessary therefore even further diluting their already miniscule return on monies owed. What do you think Rallyboy? Worth a daily entry of between 1 and 1000 words? I'll even do Day 1 for you? Tuesday 17 July Spoke to lovely My Chinny today about the FL statement. He said he'd get back to me later and told me to stop reversing the charges. I think he likes me! Not sure the team Manager Mr Appy does though. He seemed most upset when I told him his budget for team building was 2 packets of plain digestives and a can of 7up. He also seemed a bit put out when I told him that he and his friends have been booked 'open-air' accommodation for their Gib trip under that lovely motorway flyover just south of the spanish border. What does he think I am? Made of money? Never mind, when Mr Chinny comes up trumps and pumps £20m into the club like he promised via his tubby arabian friend who looks like an ice cream salesman the club can go to a level you just won't believe!!!

They played together over here at the NY Red Bulls. I went to see them a few times. Rodgers looked pretty good (albeit at this level), was more of a handful than Thierry and scored on that day.

St Jim Posted 17 July, 2012 Share Posted 17 July, 2012 Just been walking to work after parking my car up in the city this morning (8am), and started following behind two guys. Now these two guys were the type of people many would cross the road to avoid. They were in normal clothes (15 yr old style trackie tops and jeans) that looked like they had just been slept in......for the past few months (you know with that tramp like brown tinge to them), had an aroma that suggests that their water bill will be minimal, were slurring their words, were talking to themselves (yes there were two of them and yes they were chatting but no converstion, they were definately talking to themselves) and one had a tattoo of a spider's web (from what I could make out from beneath the dirt) covering half his face. The only thing that defined them from tramps or pikies was that they exited from a house. Anyway as I approached the tattoed guy I noted he was wearing a beanie with a crest on it............yup you guessed it a blue crest with star & crescent in it. This is my morning walk to work........in Adelaide 10,133.5 miles away. It doesn't matter where you are in the world they are all the same!

And then there was this in Chinnys local newspaper: Ah looks like it could be Leeds who seem to be up for grabs at the moment. A Sheikh with no money. Now where have we heard that story before? – one Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Mubarak Hamad Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahrain ruling dynasty. The sheikh, or at least his money, was a regular at all the big UK meets a few years back, and in 2008 invested in a couple of nags – Dear Maurice and Royal Jazra. But neither his investment nor betting turned out to be profitable. After a fall-out, the horses were returned to their owners and it's come to Dashwood's attention that the sheikh has now run up debts of £375,000 with his former bookie, Spreadex. My man in the betting ring said: "The company has been in contact with the Bahrain Royal Family council for 18 months now on this matter." Spreadex declined to comment. Oh well, on to the sheikh's other passion – the indebted Leeds United. The footie fan led a failed takeover of the then Premier League side in 2003 and reports out of Bahrain name him as a key figure in a Middle East consortium poised to take over Elland Road.

Monkeyboy Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 A quick thought...I wonder what the rest of the squad are doing? Have they left all 8 of their senior players at home twiddling their thumbs? Not exactly ideal preparation for the coming season, even if they do offload a few players, the core of their squad will be at least a couple of weeks behind every other team in the league. Meanwhile Pompey "B" are having a jolly abroad made up of players the FL will hopefully not even allow them to sign.

Chinnys CVA has been agreed/accepted, however Balram himself wont proceed unless the quality over quantity move on shalala... also the FL have made it clear he has to shave off more than half his secured debt to get the golden share... I suspect this was to do with the fact pompey could effectively stay in administration until those parachutes come along, and then Chinny could pocket the lot and head off to the BVI... He could take the hair cut on his secured debt, and pay himself a £2m PA non-exec salary for a few years instead I guess. One thing we do know, he is secured, he will get his money back.

dubai_phil Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 Let us not get too obscured here. THERE IS NO CVA. There is a CONDITIONAL CVA. The Conditional CVA will come into effect IF the Conditions are met within the 28 day period. In THEORY if Chinny decides the conditions are not met then the trust COULD make a new CVA proposal (ie offer) So while they may be ready in theory the PST could make a CVA offer of far LESS than Chinny offered IF they wait and IF they think Chinny will walk. Sooooooo Players are not moved on. TB & team not trying to move the players. That makes Chinny walk, Pompey Fans Trust can make an offer the next day and THEN the players can decide to walk "In the interests of the sport"... In other words. I smell Chinny being stitched up.

hutch Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 There isn't a 28 day deadline any more. This BBC interview with TB straight after the CVA meeting clears that up, from about 4 mins in until the end. Creditors do have 28 days to appeal against the CVA, but he doesn't expect that to happen. He says he expects that moving the players on will take more than 28 days, and doesn't rule out still being in admin at the start of the league season against Bournemouth. However, do bear in mind that the interview was before the FL imposed their conditions on sale. Now that they have, I'm not sure that he will be so keen to hang on in there if there is a distinct possibility that there will not be a buyer at the end of the day. I think the next "deadline" is payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here know the rules on CVAs? Is Clapham Saint around? There is a 28 day period after a CVA vote for creditors to object (either on a procedural issue or claiming that the CVA is manifestly unfair). Anybody pottentiall putting money into the company (Chinny in this case) will want this period to expire before then pay anything over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 There is a 28 day period after a CVA vote for creditors to object (either on a procedural issue or claiming that the CVA is manifestly unfair).

So after the 28 days is up, what happens to the offer that is on the table (assuming it has been withdrawn)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted 18 July, 2012 Share Posted 18 July, 2012 perhaps it is good business. The trialists told to go on their own steam and so costs are kept low, whilst no appearance money etc is paid to the contracted players You're starting to think like them Nick. You need a holiday. p.s. My spy has just sent me this photo, taken after the committee read that the Trust is ready with a bid to buy the club: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
