Pompey Takeover Saga


Fitzhugh Fella

Recommended Posts

One highlight that you missed Sue was that they signed a 'Premier League striker' who hadn't actually played in the Premier League, he got sent off in his first match and attacked the referee resulting in a 7 match ban !

:mcinnes:

 

Lol I missed that news.

Here's hoping for plenty of Jeff Stelling celebrations this afternoon on Gillette Soccer Saturday.

 

Quite so. From Wikipedia:

"He is a well-known supporter of his local club, Hartlepool United F.C., in which during the 2008–09 season, he would use a singing toy figure of the singer James Brown singing "I Feel Good" every time the player of the same name scored" :lol:

Pros: Awford stays in charge

Cons: They got three points

 

That's how I see it. D&R beating York gives them a 5 point gap but a couple of York wins and they are in all sorts of trouble. 1-0 v a side that are practically down at home isn't great but Awful would be very happy with it. Going down the wire, think they'll make it and finish fifth from bottom or so but would much rather be challenging for Europe in the top flight!

Any idea what time the open top bus tour is tomorrow?

I'm due to travel east and I don't want to get caught in the queues off the M27.

 

 

When they won that game before Christmas there was traffic chaos for days.

 

I heard there was a problem with the car park at FP and there wasn't room for the busses. Shame.

The corner has been turned! Surely time for a bumper contract extension for Awful.

 

Of course. Plus a change in the rules of football just for them so they can sign anyone they like outside the transfer window, plus a takeover this week by gazillionaires who will inject 4 billion into the club (all within FFP rules) and of course they can now build a double deck Supermarket with a Carrefour on top of the Tescos.

Is that 'financial fair play' or 'fortress fat pipes' ?

Twitchy and Pompey - sounds like a comedy double act - on the cards if the bestestest are his 'one or two bits and pieces'

"I got some great messages. I got a great one from Stevie Gerrard that I really appreciate because he is one of my all-time favourite footballers."

 

This last time arry made that claim......

 

“I didn’t text Harry Redknapp Gerrard said.

 

“I have never had his (mobile) phone number

I hope he comes out and denies that one as well

but hang on, didn't Redknapp admit in a court of law that he doesn't know how to use a phone for sending messages.

 

There must be some mistake, surely

You just have to remember Harry is great a receiving things like money, gifts, players and texts but not great about sending anything except how good he is at this football malarkey.

Have come across another 'justification' for the SCUMMER insult.

 

Apparently there was an article in the April/May 1996 issue of the Fanzine 'Frattonise' which states that the term actually came out of a local fishing company dispute prior to WW1 which involved two companies with branches in Portsmouth and Soton.

As per usual Pompey myths, the nasty men from Soton broke the strike, hence the Scummer tag.

This has been taken as FACT by many in Pompey as it was included in a published version of a well known and impeccably researched fanzine so who would argue with such an esteemed publication!!!!!!!!.

The fact that no date has been ascribed to the so called dispute, no company name offered, no understanding that Southampton has never been recognised as a fishing port makes it all the more laughable.

Would be interesting to know how many 'excuses' for the so called strike are now in existence

So, a question for the true nutjob memoir recorders.

 

When they had their last CVA they were completely debt free right?

 

There were no staged payments or things left for the future? Nothing that anyone took a charge on?

 

Was in conversation with a Queens Park Raisin fan after our game the other night and he seemed to think there was.

 

I was adamant there couldn't be, otherwise we'd all be running around looking for those Popcorn gifs

The PFA still have 3 charges in place according to Companies House

As Lord T says, they still had massive player debts to clear as part of the last 'debt-free' takeover, a process that is only complete once those agreed debts have been cleared.

 

They now claim to have cleared everything, not that we don't believe them but an indicator of that would be that all charges have been lifted as no one requires security on a debt anymore.

They haven't been lifted.

 

No doubt the belated accounts will clear up any misunderstandings later this week.

 

(a QPR fan worried about pompey's insolvency?? :lol:)

TCWTB has an interview in todays Sun.

 

Apparently they much prefer lower league football.

 

Just read that. It's sad when you try and make out something so bloody awful is actually pretty good.

i wonder if the **** realises the Championship or Div 1 both fill the criteria he is talking about, you don't need to be near the bottom of the 2nd Div.

 

hes gonna have an orgasm if they end up non league then !!!

I always remember them as Scummers, didn't hear Skate until around the 90's .

 

I'm sure there was a game at white hart lane where one of theirs , I think it was Anderton, was abused with "Scummer, scummer" every time he touched the ball and a ridiculous reporter writing that we were shouting " sieg heil" , with it being at spurs , quite a nasty accusation . Is my memory playing tricks with me or did this really happen , the article I mean as I know the abuse did .

NSFW - contains images of Portsmouth

 

Mmmmm, that pitch looks truly amazing! Another three months of the season left to play yet, what will it look like at the end?

 

To think, once upon a time they owned ALL of that land....

Of course they do.

 

And of course when a Sugar Daddy comes along with promises of great (non FFP compliant) investment with celebrity Managers and the like they will all use their "Shares" to refuse to allow a takeover, they'll all stand the moral high ground.

 

They won't throw away their "Fan Owned" history, no sirree, they love it in the lower leagues.

 

Like hell, they'll throw their worthless pieces of paper away faster than they threw away 150 million of debt.
