A broadcaster for the ITV Meridian liquidated his ailing club to spare it from "terrible pain".

Police are investigating after the Meridian broadcaster said he had a pact with the club to act if its suffering increased. During a documentary on the death of the Premier League, Fred Dinenage, 70, said: "I killed a club once. It'd been my love and it got relegated. I picked up the phone and applied for a winding up order, until it was dead. No regrets." Mr Dinenage said he liquidated his former love while he was in a third rate regional news show - which he did not name - after accountants told him that there was nothing further that could be done for club.

"I said to the accountant: 'Leave me… just for a bit,' and he went away.

"I picked up the phone and persued the winding up order until it was dead.

"The accountant came back and I said: 'It's gone.' Nothing more was ever said.

"When you love a football club, it is difficult to see it suffer. "

 

Very, VERY good.:lol:

Storrie: "Most clubs would be insolvent if you used the criteria of debt."

 

"But we have taken it to another level" is probably what he should have said next.

i think Storrie needs to understand the definition of fiduciary duty

 

" A Directors' legal and moral duty to exercise the powers of their office for the benefit of the employer or the firm. Directors owe the duty of utmost good faith and must not put themselves in a position where their personal interests and their fiduciary duties may conflict."

I defy anyone who reads PES 's post of 11.25pm last night (post no 14515) not to feel a tiny , tiny bit of sympathy for the blue few. What a farce. How on earth can a football club end up in the hands of Middle Eastern mobsters?? And his post doesn't even mention the recently charged Doctor or the tax avoiding trio of Mandaric, Rednapp and Story Teller.

 

The football authorities in this country are an absolute disgrace. Scum like this should not have been allowed anywhere near a football club. I do feel sympathy for any long standing Pompey fans who have supported their club over the years and who have now been deposited in the middle of this farce. They will be better off as AFC Pompey somewhere in the non league hierarchy if it means that their club becomes clean.

 

Mind you .... it is great fun watching them suffer and I am loving every minute of it!!!!

Interesting too that in a lot of the figures that constantly get updated I can't recall seeing that ANOTHER £3 million is owed to agents on top of everything else...perhaps someone can update the overall creditor picture?

Everyone is defering payments to help PFC!!.......

 

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=743592&sec=england&cc=5739

 

But HMRC are not and if you can't get the money to pay them its goodnight vienna even if everyone else agrees to differ. Anyway we all know the others are deferring because they know its the small chance they have of getting money where as for HMRC winding up pompey will scare the bejesus out of other clubs and net them more money in the long term.

MESSAGE FOR MR STORRIE

 

Just stop.... it's absolutely time to stop.

 

Until you rid yourselves of the parasites PFC isn't the club that your supporters love anyway. Let it go and let them start again.

 

If you don't, I (we?) can only believe it's because of what will be turned up when you do.

 

For once in your life, do the right thing :mad:

One or two seemed concerned the 'banter' will disappear when it all goes pop...do you really believe they'll all just go away?

 

Their grubby little town aint going anywhere, the knuckledraggers that inhabit it will still wanna fight. and AFC p*rtsmyth & havant & waterlooville & whoever united rovers athletic will still see us as the local rivals. They'll be more bitter than ever!

 

Yeah but they will have to win bucket loads of games just to be able to play us in the FA Cup, so the bitter hatred will have to be very lucky to stand a chance of facing us again.

Not really. Look at AFC Wimbledon, they have only been going for a relatively short period of time (as a comparison about the same period from the last pompey derby in '05 to now) and they are already back on the conference challenging for promotion to the league and have made the FA Cup 1st round.

If they were a horse they would have been shot and turned into pedigree chum ages ago.....

I'm glad they weren't, I've got a dog. And anyway, I think Katkins would be more appropriate.

Those of us who think that the filthy cheating skates from down the road are about to get their just desserts will be dissappointed, I fear.

 

"Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has...insisted he has put measures in place that will help save the club from extinction."

 

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...ngland&cc=5739

 

So that's it then, Storrie has it all sorted.

 

Move along nothing to see here....

I'm just listening to Quay radio and it's the football hour.

 

I have never heard such ill informed bollix in my life.

We did get a bit of praise of how we played on Saturday and it seems to them we have a good owner.

However i could not believe my ears when thay started mocking our ticketing policy and attendances.

We got a record for the JPT," but remember everyone got in for £2"

And everyone got another ticket for another match if they bought one for the FA cup tie against them.Yes that's right, but we had to pay for it you numptys.

 

God,it is a dismal,yet somewhat humerous,listen.

So another £3m owed to agents on top of the rest.

 

Storrie says they are being nice. They have no option. The court case is in. What an absolute c()nt that man is. Still spinning.

If anyone is interested, Radio 5 live are doing an hour long special on PFC tonight between 1900 and 2000 hrs.

This includes a fans forum with guests.

Might make interesting listening.

 

 

Just a reminder or for anyone that missed the original post.

you can imagine the conversations down there, trying to convince each other that the skates support is "best in the world"....... but wait, what is going on, southampton have just had 30k for a JPT game which if they were in would be lucky to get double figures.... oh it must be because they are giving tickets away.

 

As things stand our average this year will be higher than their capacity.

I did realise that but wished to use your post to comment from. Nobody else had made an issue of that and Ied be interested if Clapham or Bucks saint (as i beleive both are in the administration business)can put light on if adding more bits on after the deadline is allowed.

Nick, I don't specialise in insolvency, but do spend an unhealthy portion of my time dealing with commercial litigation. I have NEVER, in litigation, arbitration or adjudication, had a situation where additional information, which could have a bearing on the outcome of a case, has been refused. A lot of "huffing & puffing", yes, but eventually it is accepted, as long as the other side gets a fair chance to answer/refute the new information.

 

This is still, after all, commercial litigation between HMRC (& others) and PCFC. Pay us or else. It's not a criminal trial. That comes later no doubt, and then the rules are different.

just sent them an email, putting a few facts to the muppets.. you would think they had more to worry about than our ticketing policy.... wonder how far they can bury their heads in the sand

Just got back in & was listening to Talksport playing an interview with Tony Pulis. I'm sure he said at the start that if you lose a football club, then you lose the community and lose a couple of hundred thousand people.....

 

Crikey, I thought liquidation was bad, didn't realise that it involved ethnic cleansing!!

For some reason, just imagined an old scene from Red Dwarf.....

 

HMRC = Cat....

 

 

I'm gonna eat you little fishy...

On the same subject I hear Storrie tellers next idea is to hire Ace Rimmer to save the day

who have they got to sell that others would want..?

if they sell, then another club has to be allowed to buy and gain an advatage

 

what is worse..they are requesting this after bringing in Tosic, Rocha, O'Hara and Awusu-beye(sp)

 

the latter two starred in the win over us...

 

I hate that club

 

That's what really gets me. I don't particularly want them to go under, yet they bought in players on loan knowing full well they couldn't afford to pay them and they changed the game against us.

They were just talking figures on 5Live.....absolutely shocking, car-crash style numbers. Wages were 91% turnover in 2008. Pretty much all the FA Cup win money went on player bonuses.

Why oh why do they keep trying to blame the PL.

 

How many times do they have to be told that the FAPT is not to find out whether the person has any money, just whether they are allowed to be a company director.

 

It is not the PLs fault. It is your boards.

The BBC Journo says you could write a 300 page book on the story....

 

Nah - we beat you to it mate we're up to 297 already!

 

The story of the builder called in to make emergency changes before the season was sad until he evoked the class war that Skatemuff is a working class city

 

You don't see no other club shirts down here (you'd get kicked!)

 

Jacob offered to go on air but the club said no

Pay up Pompey Pompey Pay Up

 

All pretty genteel but all pretty realistic.

 

My one thought, our fans were ripped in two by the mess before we went bust, but where were their protests? Yeah sure a few are coming out now but not 2 years ago
