Saint in Paradise Posted 20 February, 2015 Share Posted 20 February, 2015 Former English football executive Peter Storrie has been charged with turning the Central Coast Mariners into a "break-even club" amid a shake up at the A-League franchise. The ex-West Ham and Portsmouth executive, who had previously been used by the Mariners as a consultant, was on Thursday appointed the club's executive vice chairman in an effort to turn around the cash-strapped side's lagging fortunes. http://www.msn.com/en-nz/sport/football/mariners-appoint-ex-english-football-executive/ar-BBhJWVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues striker has netted six goals in seven matches against the Abbey Stadium outfit – stretching across his spells with Salisbury, Crawley and AFC Wimbledon. Or, to look at it another way, he's scored 1 goal against Cambridge in the last 5 years, and that was in a 2-1 defeat. #pompeyspin #tinpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clapham Saint Posted 20 February, 2015 Share Posted 20 February, 2015 I went on to fol where they are crying about the posting being deleted , now there is another couple up. http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=578016 http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=578019 It's not defamatory if it's factual, as I'm sure Thievin' Mike will attest to. So let's lay down the facts: 1. Three grand was raised specifically to pay for Mike's legal bills, if this money was not required it would go to the PST. 2. Thievin' Mike either requested or was given the money, despite the legal bill not needing to be paid. 3. When asked to return the money, Thievin' Mike was unable to do so as the money had gone, despite it never being his in the first place and him having absolutely no right to spend it. 4. As a wannabe investigative journalist, Thievin' Mike would be impressed at how I've dug the dirt up on him and exposed the truth just as he did with Chainrai. FACT It isn't a rumour. It's been confirmed by a PST board member that Thievin' Mike received the money, it's in the PST accounts and the chairman of the PST has publicly stated that Thievin' Mike has agreed a repayment plan. For something to be re-paid, by definition it has to have been paid in the first place. It's evidently clear to all but the most hopeless spastics what's gone on here, and you well know it.

Torres Posted 20 February, 2015 Share Posted 20 February, 2015 The accounts showed a debt of £2,990 that is owed to the trust from the club’s former engagement manager, Micah Hall. This cash was raised two years ago through donations via Pompey’s 12th Man scheme as Mr Hall was fighting a legal battle. The trust, which was looking after the money, gave it over to Mr Hall, who has now starting paying it back on a repayment program. Chairman Ken Malley stressed this cash was ringfenced and was not part of general funds, but they decided to include it in accounts to be totally transparent. He said: ‘It was his money. It was collected for him to use. A repayment plan has started.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be missing something obvious here but, if it's "his money" (that the Trust were "looking after" for him) then why on Earth would he need to pay it back? Furthermore, did the case ever go to court in the end? I don't recall reading any more about it after the "fighting fund" stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted 21 February, 2015 Share Posted 21 February, 2015 It was money raised towards a "fighting fund" for him on the understanding that any left over would go to the Trust. He never needed it to cover any legal costs (it all went very quiet on that, didn't it? I guess he didn't have to sell his house after all) but he's obviously spunked it on something else and no longer has it. I wonder what percentage he's actually going to pay?
