rallyboy Posted 9 March, 2015 Share Posted 9 March, 2015 Initially £0, but the revised figure after two more administrations will be much nearer £0. But however many donations went straight to DC he can't compete with Niemi when it comes to draining the finances down east. He was paid £450,000 and got less pitch time than overexcited Villa fans.

Chez Posted 10 March, 2015 Share Posted 10 March, 2015 David Connelly cost £405 per minute played, which is based on 2397 minutes played, a £5k a week wage, receiving payment for the full 2.5 years, but Oxford paying all his wages during his six month loan.

andysstuff Posted 12 March, 2015 Share Posted 12 March, 2015 Depends who wants what I guess. The HNWs are businessmen first and foremost and will want a return on their investment, so it's in their interest to sell. I would guess most of the mugs, sorry supporters, who invested a grand are still deluded enough to expect some sort of return if the club is sold. Wonder how they will react when it finally sinks in that it was a one off DONATION. Maybe the promise of investment and promotion will be enough to satisfy? End of the day they ain't going anywhere with the current setup. How long the phew are happy with League 2 and 'fan ownership' is anyone's guess. Interesting times. Still.

Gruffalo Posted 14 March, 2015 Share Posted 14 March, 2015 Mick Williams has resigned as a board member of the Pompey Supporters’ Trust and consequently will no longer be eligible to serve as a Director on the board of Portsmouth Community Football Club. He stands down from both roles with immediate effect. Mick said “The PST has evolved tremendously since its inception and this year has been no different with a lot happening at PST board level. Decisions are made by the PST board on a regular basis and board members don’t always agree on everything. I opted to resign on a matter of principle over a recent decision of the PST board”. Given Mick’s resignation and in pursuant of clause 9.6 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the PST board has elected a new PST representative to serve on the Club board (pending them passing the Football Associations Owners’ and Directors’ Test) and details of this appointment will be made in due course. Following the news of Mick’s resignation, PST Chairman Ken Malley had the following to say:- “Everyone that knows Mick, knows that his passion and enthusiasm is matched only by the effort that he puts in to anything that he is connected with. He has given so much to ensure the growth of the Trust and the acquisition of the club and I am sure all of our members will join me and our board in thanking him for his contribution - his continued input will always be welcome”. Mick himself reflects fondly on the time he spent on both the PST and Club board:- “Looking back to 2011 when CSI went into administration closely followed by our football club, it is almost unbelievable that we have come so far. The Pompey Supporters’ Trust, along with many other Pompey heroes, led the fight to save our club and ‘We did it’! “I am very proud to have played my part in that fight and to have been an active Pompey director for the last two years” Mick added “My family and I remain shareholders and staunch supporters of both the Trust and the club and we wish everybody connected with them the very best of luck in the future”. Would be a pity if it was merely about shady 'loans' for the boys and not a PST decision to allow their shareholding to be further diluted through the acceptance of more external investment..

TopGun Posted 14 March, 2015 Share Posted 14 March, 2015 Unfortunately I think we have to accept that Pompey have thrown enough money at players to survive this year and possibly still hold a candle for the play-offs. However it only takes a couple of losses and they have no chance of that. On the plus side the resignation of die hard Pompey fan Mick Williams does show that there is plenty of disagreement in the background about how the club is run. I think that was inevitable given the number of chiefs at the Trust and amongst the 11 HNW presidents. Long may that continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
