dubai_phil Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 One of my skate mates reckons that the admin bill is going up quicker than the pledges are coming in & that the month at a time signings are from the ring fenced ST money which is being released a game at a time. That's what I said about 5 pages ago. It ain't Rocket Science, which is why it is GOOD NEWS. Dear Patient due to the war we only have enough blood to transfuse you for 12 months if we only give you a quarter of what you need. It means you will feel like sh1t but we may find a miracle cure in this year. Sod that give me the full whack. But you'll be dead in 3 months and we certainly won't find a cure that quick. To hell with that I have a hot date with my twin sisters & her cousin and they promised me they'd show me a threesome like what that Dubai-Phil talked about. I want it NOW I need to look my best........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 So its nonsense that the -10 gets applied when you exit admin. As I thought. Some people have very short memories; Mawhinney and co slapped us with the -10 the second we went into admin. Yet Pompey get special dispensation, and now the next step is that they think they can get away with no points deduction. And as usual, they will probably get their way. This is rapidly taking on farcical proportions. The FL are making themselves look either biased or complete mugs. Rapidly losing faith in the English game. I still burn with anger when I think about how West Ham avoided the proscribed punishment over the Tevez business. -10 is IRRELEVANT. IT means absolutely SOD ALL. Until the last week of the Season. No deduction now allows the FL to see what OTHER rules they break (FCR for example) and ALLOWS THEM the opportunity to make it a Lutonesque -27 WHEN IT MATTERS.

sidthesquid Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 (edited) It really beggars belief, doesn't it? I can accept that the deluded phew are simple island-dwelling inbreds who revere Neil Allen as the village wise-man. But Bircho & Appy must have some understanding of the true nature of their financial plight, as indeed must those players. So unless either Bircho & Appy just don't care anymore, or the swamp-gas has infected their brains, they must see how crass and unsustainable signing all his '£4million budget' players is, even if only for a month. Or are the players so utterly deluded after mixing with the above that they are prepared to play for next to nothing for a month because they still genuinely believe there is a £5k/week contract at the end of the rainbow? As ever, events on the septic isle surpass fiction. Edited 16 August, 2012 by sidthesquid new information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 The second ten points is nothing to do with exiting an admin. it's for failing to pay the last one. Crystal Palace last season never got a further -10 on exiting admin. That's because they had an agreed CVA. The Portsmouth -10 will be enforced on leaving admin because until they are taken over there's no punishment for them not paying the last CVA, because theoretically they still could.

TopGun Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 (edited) Guess the weekly wages time... I am taking into account the standard of living they will require also. Izale MacLeod released from L2 Barnet - £2K (goal scorer) Kieran Djilali released from L2 AFC Wimbledon - £1.5K Mustapha Dumbuya 10 apearances last season for Doncaster - £1.5K Jon Harley released from L2 Rotherham - £2K (seniority) Brian Howard released by Reading ( last played on loan at Millwall 26th December 2011 ) - £2.5K (seniority and captain) Lee Williamson released by Sheff Utd - £2.5K (turned down a new contact at Sheff Utd) Simon Eastwood released by Conference North Halifax - £1K Jack Compton released from Falkirk ( 'tore up his contract' ) - £1K Luke Rodgers released by Lillestrom ( and has had at least 3 arrests for assault or public order ) - £2K (goal scorer) Liam Walker from Gibraltar - £1K Plus Ashley Harris - £1K the other one - £1K So that's £19K per week before any other signings that will follow.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 16 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 16 August, 2012 This is a plaster being administered to a gaping wound. It might stem a bit of beeding for a short while - and give Birch credit for keeping a dying man a short reprieve - but all of this is just throwing good money after bad, a last desperate fling of the dice if you like. A month from now this car crash will hit its final brick wall. It would have been interesting had ML not materialised whether our administrator - whose name temporarily escapes me, was it Fry - would have managed to have kept out life support machine on as long as Birch has managed.

Tight knit group of players with a great team spirit and got promoted not long after the mess was sorted out. Stupidly though they could be back in it very soon.

There's therefore no detail about whether that starts counting from the end of the season, the close season, the start of the next season, etc. But it does mean that they can't start 2013/14 in admin, so even if they develop a new model for signing non-contract players, they're still getting a -10 at some point in the next 12 months and 1 week.

I am starting to have doubts re the integrity of the FL however, esp as Lampitt is now all of a sudden a creditor. Where have you been FF? Lampitt applied to become a secured, golden ticket, football creditor when they went into admin - or just before? Neil Pompey Pravda Allen missed this little gem at the time as he was far too bust foaming at the mouth and protesting the innocence of the Russian pension stealing mafia owner. It is amusing that they are able to once again circumvent the rules by signing players on a monthly non contract, contract. I expect the FL will be closing this loophole quicker than Avram's trouser come down..... nah, you know the rest, Rallyboy has been telling us for way over a year now! The interesting thing though, is that they can 'technically' continue to trade in administration for the rest of this season, confirming to come out of admin the day after the season ends. During this time, they can continue to sign the non contract contracts every month, thus circumventing the FL's stipulation that they are under a transfer embargo! They will also circumvent the -10 that the league have imposed for when they do come out of admin - thus it will be applied next season! And to top it all off, they can completely ignore the FL's financial prudence measures as these won't become effective until after they come out of admin! NOTE, THIS IS ALL "TECHNICALLY" POSSIBLE! Whether it will actually happen is another thing altogether. Although the best thing, if it did happen, it would ensure that every single last penny of PPs would be paid to Birch and PKF!

In this policy, sporting sanctions may be applied, namely the deduction of up to 10 points automatically upon a club entering administration, along with a maximum time period of 18 months in which a club may be permitted to remain in administration before membership of the league is terminated."

The9 Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Just checking, they went into admin on 13th February 2012, so 18 months is 13th August 2013 ? Which as 2013/14 will be a World Cup year is likely to be after the season starts. Thereby giving them the maximum possible time to remain in admin from the time they announced it until the time they have to come out of admin.

KMondo Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Cant believe the FL is doing this ....could be the way forward for ALL L1 and below clubs , just sign free players on month by month non contracts !!! think of the fiscal advantages. 1) If a player doesn t perform its bye bye at the end onf the month. 2) If a player gets injured you dont have to pay him after one month for sitting medics bench. 3) In the black hole that is the closed season May to early August you have no players wages because you null there contracts every month. Will save lower league clubs a fortune , the PFA wont be happy though. The right thing to have happened IMHO today not only for the credibility of Football but also in the long run for Pompey was Liquidation and expulsion from the League . Really start again its your chance !!!! Never mind the FL, why would any decent player sign under these conditions if they have a prospect of a longer-term contract elsewhere? They should probably get themselves some new agents. Unless of course, there are some clauses inserted guaranteeing automatic extension if some minimal conditions are met.

The question is whether TB is diverting the PPs from creditors as operating capital or whether he is operating PFC on current expected football revenues from expected season ticket sales and match day walk-ups. If he is diverting PP cash allocated by himself to secured and unsecured creditors then he's running a speculative venture based on the PST finding the funds or another buyer turning up. That could put TB right in the doo-doo as the person who is meant to be representing the best interests of the creditors. I'm sure HMRC, Portpin and the ex-players' advisors are watching closely with a view to a challenge. It does seem TB has gone native in an attempt to keep his reputation of saving clubs unblemished.

I have a friend from University that comes from Portsmouth and supports PFC. He was a right lefty, sermonising on everything, playing the guilt card over some historical footnote, etc. etc. I reckon you all know the type. I was shocked when he posted back, in quite a smug manner, that he looked in a mirror and had no problems whatsoever. Really astounded.

Maybe that's what the Phew are banking on... waking up and realising it has all just been a bad trip, they're not going insane - not even a tiny bit - and everything will be normal again soon. And who the hell is this Roger Walters bloke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo78 Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 And posted a cheque to Arriva (Norwich Union) for £4m when we got promoted as reported on here. If the same boot were on a fishy foot I am sure they would have found a reason not to honour that agreement. Which is why we can protest when people try to compare our situation with Pompey's. There's nothing similar except the 'admin' label... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scally Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 If that article is correct then surely as TB's job is to get the best deal for the creditors then he must now liquidate the skates. Spending the PP allocated for other things....

alpine_saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 Just been blocked by that ****c()nt Neil Allen after tweeting him once. What an absolute **** he is. Seems all the skate fans are losing the plot. I am currently engaged in a pitch-battle on Facebook with somebody who I thought was a friend who appears to be getting hysterical.

alpine_saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 What will happen if I tweet Neil Allen that I find his support of a rancid club full of thieving pikeys nauseating ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 This is all I said: @pn_neil_allen @FatBlerk I would be utterly ashamed if my football club acted like yours. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Same old Pompey.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Share Posted 16 August, 2012 I am currently in a religious debate in another forum. These two threads are strikingly similar. Pick a team, stick with them and cover your arse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 just seen this on twitter... Why the buzz? Have they found £1? The Pompey Pages @Pompey_Pages Fantastic to see a buzz amongst #Pompey fans. Don't think many people would begrudge us a day of sunshine after years under clouds. Actually, I could name quite a few.
