ericofarabia Posted 1 March, 2013 Share Posted 1 March, 2013 Looks like Bin Haim is missing tomorrows game due to a hip injury. Shame we could have given him a heroes welcome for his part in fleecing Skatesmuff for a few years. Pity he backed down in the end on his demands. Has he been paid any of his outstanding money - ha ha silly question really!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Posted 1 March, 2013 Share Posted 1 March, 2013 What is this please? I think he works for Chelsea's community football coaching and the skates have (quite rightly) turfed them out of portsmuff. I believe Chelsea have been trying to poach support and talent in Winchester as well and the world has enough glory hunters as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Lungs Posted 1 March, 2013 Share Posted 1 March, 2013 after what I have endured the last week, this club really is full of scum. For those who have read that **** head Awfords column in The News, they have played some very dirty tactics. In my opinion, they've just bitten off more than they can chew. What did he say? He does come across as a rather unpleasant character. But he's "Pompeeeee fru an' fru, ain't eeee?" Skates getting ahead of themselves on their fans forums - convinced Tesco are going to partner with them and build them a massive new stadium as a result of the Robinson deal. Lol. Yes, that's right. Now's the right time to build the 36,000 pottydrome - just as you're levelling out at the bottom of League One. At least it'll give Puncheon something to sh1t in til 2016.

Dark Munster Posted 1 March, 2013 Share Posted 1 March, 2013 Why has everyone suddenly decided that the Judge will rule in their favour? We learnt that from Injustices Mann and Whats-her-name. Anyway, it looks like my prediction of a February liquidation has been skittled by the mysterious £4 million increase in PPs. Looks like that pact they signed with the devil hasn't expired yet. Well, not until the yes-this-time-it's-really-the very-last PP in August. My 999th nutjob post. I've been keeping my powder dry this month, hoping my 1000th would coincide nicely with their demise, but to no avail. I don't think I can hold off posting for 6 months, so plan B is to do a trousers and post 999 more just before they go pop in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to be 10 points and goal difference above the relegation zone by the end of the season as precedents stand. So that probably means they need to end up on 50 points as L1 history shows.

Poster on POL seemed to think that the club asked the council to get Mountbatten Leisure Centre to tell Chelsea they couldn't use the facility. So typical scummy Pompey strike again. Local kids have their very enjoyable football sessions cancelled cos Pompey are too shambolic to mow their own ****ing lawn. disgrace of a club.

Perhaps.....but realistically?....plus, thats with the assumption the judge will suggest a knock-down price which could very well end up in court again as well as IF the PST take over, now for me there are just too many variables.

I read it as posturing to try and generate a bit more activity. After all, Markus Liebherr and others had expressed interest, but valuable time was wasted with the interference into the process of the Le Tiss tyre-kickers. It really is incredible that we were deemed to be on the verge of liquidation with the relatively low level of debt and the value of our infrastructure and latent support, whilst the Skates have probably been trading insolvently for the past year or more with no really serious buyers apart from Chinny and the Trust.

( try running on empty yourself, and see how far you get ) It is despicable, it is corrupt, and it's about time someone in the know had the B&lls to do a Whistle blower on the situation Whilst what you say is correct .... It's simply down to the PPs. That is ultimately what has kept them alive. Because the creditors agreed to a 500k CVA, and they managed to come to a compromise with players, the 11mil due since last summer allows them to pay all that - which is greater than a liquidation sale - the issue now is that with the 3 mill trust cash + the council loan, they want to pay back some that over time and keep 3 mil or so in cash rather than pay creditors more - in effect doing the same again, only with the creditors being mugs for agreeing to the 500k in the first place....

Frank's cousin Posted 2 March, 2013 Share Posted 2 March, 2013 The truth is probably somewhere in between. No money left approaching insolvent trading and thus liquidation in any normal circumstance - but in reality, Barclays and Aviva would have know they stood a far better chance of getting something if a new buyer came in - and the infrastructure available as a club was a good possibility of this happening - i think if push had come to shove, Aviva and or Barclays may thave swapped debt for equity and taken contrrol whilst awaiting for a sale...
