rallyboy Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 Just heard some mad stuff on Solent. Barker wants to thin out his squad, he says he has 28 players and that is way too many. Get with the programme Richie boy, send out those youngsters, make excuses, then plead for special help from the nasty league. That after Jervis has said that his problems with international clearance might have been ironed out if he had been trying to sign for a big club. He has gone off template!

Torres Posted 18 January, 2014 Share Posted 18 January, 2014 I heard from two sources this week, that Pompey will be going into administration again... Don't be ridiculous. Surely if a football club were on the brink of administration they wouldn't sign a hatful of new players and increase their expenditure! Oh, wait.....

Verbal Kint Posted 19 January, 2014 Share Posted 19 January, 2014 Great post on Pompey Online: "When I renewed my season ticket this year it was with a feeling of hope and excitement about the new "Era" that this club was about to embark. Improvements all round on and off the pitch, a real hope that this was the start of something special. Half the season gone and yesterdays game against Mansfield in my opinion just a complete farce, on and off the pitch. The stadium announcer asking for noise from the South Stand, The Milton End then the North End, OK a simple mistake. Then we had a one minute applause for two of Pompey's legends, one minute between the two and not even a minutes silence, pathetic and an insult. I needed to use the toilet facilities and I can only describe it as absolutely disgusting and was unable to do so. I would have liked a hot drink during the second half because I was freezing but the bar was shut, why? This is 2014. On the pitch was also a joke. "And the Pompey man of the match is " well you know the rest. I did however find it amusing the way all our defenders stood and admired the way that Mansfield goal was scored. So halfway through the season and already decided not to renew next year. Rant over." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's the mouth-watering prospect of their being docked more points for *another* administration if rumours turn out to be true (again). Where's that saints-themed popcorn thingummy?

Dalek2003 Posted 19 January, 2014 Share Posted 19 January, 2014 The point is if they get docked points again for going into admin, they will have to decide if they take them now and then start at zero next season in the Blue Square or if the try and stay in the 4th Division this year and and perhaps take them next year to buy time. On the other hand they might take them next year whilst in the blue square, have to go into admin and then have to take them the year after that. The thing is that it could be another 10 years before they stabilise and by then they will be playing The Red Lion in the pub Friendly League Division 6.

Personally I can't see them surviving another administration - if they do then I would think the FL wouldn't want to see them again for a generation - and don't forget the skrill league isn't the football league - minus ten now and no guarantee of the golden share even if they win the skrill.

Not only is it deadly dull (I defy anybody to get to the bottom whilst still paying attention) and has his own unique paragraph structure but it also contains the immortal phrase "at this moment in time". I appreciate that this phrase is beloved by cliche merchants like football managers (it is one of Hoddle's favourite phrases) but I am amazed that a so called professional journalist , a man who makes his iving by his writing skills, uses this phrase in print. There is a simple three letter word "now" which any wordsmith would use. He and Pompey deserve each other!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will pee my pants with laughter when they start screaming about getting their money back. Hey guys, guess what? You're never getting your money back, administration or not... Its all there in #factless' article: The Shareholders’ Agreement for Portsmouth Community Football Club is a 40-page legal document not on public display, yet has been seen by The News. At present, shares are valued at £1,000 each and will remain so until the April 19 deadline when the scheme transfers to the Trust board to administrate, enabling them to decide the future price. Still, as well as 75 per cent of shareholders required to sanction the sale of shares, that figure is also needed to allow assets of the company to be mortgaged or the changing of the mandate to the bank. In addition, there are issues contained within the Shareholders’ Agreement which necessitate a 90-per-cent vote to be implemented. These consist of the company being listed on the stock exchange, the winding up of the company and the buying and selling of external assets (not including players). Additionally, 90 per cent would be needed to pass any ‘changing nature’ of the business, which could be argued would include a name change to the football club. Particularly relevant considering the Hull City goings on at present. It is written into their cod-ified constitution, not that any of them will ever publically see the document, they are only allowed to see carefully selected quotes from the document published on the local rags website, followed by #factless' take (PDT spin/propaganda) on matters. They will never be allowed to sell their trust shares at a profit, but the board have the power to dilute those shares at any point. Yes, they will need the trusts say so, but the trust is very much disproportionately represented on the board.. and that trust board member gets voted in annually! The developers can invest and dilute the trust shareholding at any moment, whilst trust members can never individually invest/throw away more than £20k. The developers have all the control and power, as Rally boy points out, the next £183k of emergency fatpipes maintenece will swing the balance for real. Just you wait until they have reached their 'limit' of developers cash investment, as a penny more will make the trust the minority, I hope you can see what I am seeing. #factless article trust maintain majority shareholding whilst presidents make emergency maintenence loans to keep the grand old lady in order the presidents have moved to ensure that the trust keeps hold of their majority stake in pompey by loaning the club essential funds in order to continue playing at fratton park which translates to the developers have been successfull in loading secured debt onto pompey, ensuring they are major creditors in the likely event of insolvency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
