ottery st mary Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 (edited) I believe The9 alluded to it earlier but from what I've heard, Mr Robinson is hoping to shortly complete a lucrative deal in the Birmingham area, selling some land he owns to a developer who wants to build a new conference venue, and so would then comfortably have the cash, and who knows what other deals he has on the go. As much as I laughed when I first heard some of his company figures, I believe he probably has more than enough cash... it's just whether he wants to go through with it or not. Same with the other wise men in their saviour group. Easy to put a few £s to date. What will happen when they are finally expected to show the colour of their money big time. I still have my doubts. Believe... some still hoping for an idiot to arrive with big bunce to save their skin. Or they expected far bigger turn out from the bestest 250,000 fans still camped down on Southsea Common. As someone stated there is still a massive shortfall of monies and the day of reckoning is nigh:) Mind you..Friday may go with a big bang and save us all the worry of xmas...........................

Which would all rather tend to support the point you are making to him... That's how I read it too, with an added caveat that stadium is being purchased by Robinson IF the valuation is what he/they want it to be AND his planned deal to raise funds goes through AND he can't think of an excuse not to go through with it without losing face. The money from the HNWs is available already to buy the club. Then the pledges will only be needed for the day day running of the club. So they are home and dry. It's all over bar the final paperwork. They've got away with it. Course, we've got no idea what will happen in the second week when the pledged money runs out.

Get back on #scumweb and get posting on your massive masturbation thread. Seems a bit funny for Nagoya to get so upset about this; she cared enough about SFC a few weeks back to start throwing a few accusations around about SFC being completely up the spout financially due to our £30M loan we'd just taken out. But then proper maths and football club debt never really went hand in hand with the Pompey "faithful", so its understandable enough I guess. And the notion that we plan to actually pay our debt back must be a confusing idea to them. Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows that those fackin' scummahs never did nuffink when their club went into administration. Apart from the SOS campaign, apart from the bucket rattling before every game that raised thousands, apart from Leon Crouch paying hundreds of thousands to supplement the staff wages, and apart from listening to the administrator who stated that there were numerous offers to take over the club including one from a benevolent Swiss billionaire. Apart from all that, of course, the facking scummahs did fack all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 the 4-1 in that season referred to four fake owners and one billionaire. As for Wiltshire Police stopping pompey taking more that 1,000 to Swindon, that would make sense as they are way too passionate, bestest and noisy for mere mortals to cope with, and some of the home players as well as all officials will be overawed by playing in such a hostile atmosphere, it wouldn't be fair. It sounds like Walsall away will be like a television reconstruction of World Cup 78 too - we just need Kempes and another 120,000 sheets of shredded A4 and the image will be complete. It's all gone a bit sad and deluded - a little club on the slide that refuses to accept that it is now even smaller than the likes of Crawley and Stevenage, and in PR they still pretend to be bigger than Exeter.

Dark Munster Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 So long and thanks for all the fish. That links in nicely with the prize, cleverly done Andy. To be fair, I think that MUST have done before somewhere in the 1600 pages I think the first person to have used that phrase on this thread should get the prize. Somewhere on page 17 I think. Talking about early posts, this is quite amusing from page 3 (08/08/2009 - yes, 3 years ago): Perhaps it's best to rephrase the question as I did to pfc123 (I've added stadium): Suppose someone were to give you the offer for P*mp*y and Saints to switch positions 3 years from now (owner, league position, facilities and debts). (Your decision of course must be made now, not 3 years from now.) Would you take the offer? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/sho...&postcount=260 No, because there's a good chance that we'll still be in a higher league than you... :lol: So where is pfc123 nowadays?

TopGun Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 (edited) I'm reckoning if Dumbeya says that there are a few "disheartened" souls, it will be a mass exodus for those that have a six-month deals elsewhere lined up. He mentioned players with families in Liverpool and Sheffield in the News article. So at the least, that indicates that Lee Williamson is fed up and wants to go back to Sheffield. Remember, Williamson is the man who turned down a contract extension at Sheff Utd in the summer for better wages elsewhere! Thus scotching the publicly avowed Pompey low pay policy at one stroke.

Guided Missile Posted 20 December, 2012 Share Posted 20 December, 2012 I had another chat with my contact at Begbies Traynor who are advising the Pompey Trust, yesterday. Interestingly, he said that there was "pots of money" coming in from the fans, which is being deposited in escrow. Begbies Traynor are disappointed that the Trust did not take advantage of the Councils funding offer they managed to negotiate on their behalf and they said that it was now too late to receive that loan. He agreed with my theory that Stuart Robinson could not raise the funds to buy Fratton. The Trust is just not a good bet for a landlord, particularly to one that is relying heavily on bank financing. The picture painted was very much one of the Trust members all being more interested in being on the board, than facing the business challanges of a football club and they just don't have the knowledge or experience required.

Choose between a club where the academy is well-established and valued as an integral part of that club, or one which is trying to set up an academy almost as a desperate afterthought because it can no longer continue the policy of paying over the odds for senior players?
