Did the interviewer not mention these other teams PAY THEIR BILLS! And not ONE comment about "The Community" Not ONE comment about the small businesses (such as Terry the Builder) to whom they owe money Not ONE simple acknowledgement of the pain they are inflicting Everything is about Survival, nothing about their Corporate Social Responsibility, which is what you would expect from an operation that has been washing things (including it's hands) for years. Oh and first comment The Supermarket would be worth a fortune.. Well guess what that is nothing to do with the club anymore - YOU GAVE THAT AWAY TO CHANRAI AT THE WEEKEND - or was that a fib as well? Oh and the squad is worth millions - all those loanees and free transfers that is That article really says the following. "This charade has almost been played out to the end as it has been in the interests of the owners to liquidate this club as quickly as possible so that the land can be used for a major redevelopment. By showing the council that every possible avenue was explored to save the club they will now understand and accept the buidling of a squash court and gym for the residents of the new development This was required, because under the terms of the Council Mandate, once the club ceases to exist the land the stadium stood on can be used for a Leisure development that earns us money as property developers. With the club gone the property is worth far far more than the prospective paper losses on the value of the shares" So long suckers will be the epitaph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely the new South African owners will now be negotiating with their supporter's trust if they want 100% control of the club. As a minority shareholder I guess it gives the trust little power but can the trust insist on seeing the books, SoA or the details of the hot, hot, hot takeover?

The working committee agreed that the offer had been made in good faith, but due to the circumstances of the Club we required financial and legal advice before we’d be in a position to comment further. No formal offer has yet been made to the trust, but appreciating the need for urgency in the current dire situation, the Trust and it's advisors will deal with any formal offer immediately after it's been recieved. A reccomendation based on financial and legal advice will be put to the Pompey Trusts members, who ultimately approve any decisions of this scale.
