The thing is Pompey will never die, it will ALWAYS exist. Thanks to the decent fans on here who recognise the appropriate way to act in such circumstances, to the others, I bare no grudges, I'm sorry you have chosen to mimick the very worst Pompey fans you despise so much, to be honest, personally, I've always wanted to be the exact opposite to what I find disgusting, but it's a free country. Besides you probably, genuinely, don't know any better. :(

I'm loving this.

 

Best thing, you have plenty of suffering to come.

For a club run by fraudsters/conmen//corruption, take your pick and a set of fans that were more than happy to go along with this.

 

Someone posted a picture of Limbless Angolians that have had thier lives ruined by landmines that were sold illegally by the likes of A.Gadymank.

The same A.Gadymank who's money was funding Portsmouth FC.

 

Not to many of their fans seemed to concerned how they were being funded when the FA Cup was being paraded around their sh1tty.

 

Then you call us the brainless ones. For me its been a dissapointing day, I wanted to see them go to the wall and hope they still do.

 

It must be me, they go to the wall and there's no games between us. I guess we Saints fans will get over it. Some one will buy their stadium and the land around it, demolish it and build a housing estate and a Tescos. Of course there are mirky goings on at Pompey, none of the fans could do much about that could they? They enjoyed the good times and now it is the day of reckoning and the club might disappear.

 

 

I would not wish that on anyone's club. I stand by what I say, there are an awful lot on this site driven by hatred, too much time on their hands etc etc....... I am probably wasting my time.

Nice try at gaining the moral high ground but your final sentence suggests you are being disingenuous. No sympathy here. Sorry.

PES. You guys really do need to get on and set up AFC Pompey.

 

Shake free of the w*nkers and make it truly a local club for local people.

 

This is an opprtunity. If the fans make it clear that they aren't interested in the fixed up sale to the next Crook it'll stop it happening anyway

 

(and Chester's demise only makes the opportunity better - a club in the conference that can get 10k every week would make the authorities sit up and listen)

I don't understand this view. Of course they'll be around, they'll reform, Fred Dinenage, TCWTB, etc. will spend the next few years telling everyone how massive they are in the Blue Square and slowly, very slowly climb back up the leagues. We may just have to wait a few years for a local derby.

 

Never worried most of us before.

For many years there were very few games anyway, but you're right. PES, Mero even Corp Ho Ho Ho will be back, and probably all the better for it

Yes I am disappointed that they did not go out of business and that they have been given a lifeline. Leaving aside the fact that they are a football club the way their business has been run has been I quote "dysfunctional" . You and I have to pay taxes.We may not like it but as a decent citizen I pay them.

 

Any business that is based on dubious money (laundered) that has gained competive advantage by stealing that advantage unfairly (borrowing beyond their means).Paying obscene salaries deserves to be liquidated, removed,irradicated.

 

Their contempt towards HMRC is criminal and sends a message that " we are above the law "and when we know we cannot pay we go into Admin.Ha Ha. This stinks

 

Any system that sees small businesses suffer because of another 's flagrant arrogance and contempt by creating such suffering and hardship deserves removal.

 

You see Football is a business and it has disenfranchised itself from fans everywhere and in particular in the Premier League. So now PCFC survive having gone into admin ten years ago. So what did they learn. Nothing.

 

They are corrupt and will still only attract the same sort of corrupt investors that can just repeat the cycle. Admin again in five years anybody ??

 

I for one do not care if we see another Portsmouth irrespective of whether they are our neighbours or not until the way that football is run has changed.

So is there anything HMRC can do now besides veto any CVA? Surely if they were trading whilst insolvent and doing so for long enough that the directors must have known its not really fair if that can't be acted on because of the club going into admin. Is there anyway they can say like:

 

"Looking at the SoA we are now certain that the club was knowingly trading whilst insolvent and we will be starting legal proceedings against the directors to recover tax revenue's not paid during that period".

I suppose everyone on here has already seen the email I got from 3 mates yesterday, but just in case;

 

"Portsmouth denied sponsorship deal with large pet food conglomerate. The £7m contract was due to be signed when it was blocked by the Office of Fair Trading, who insisted that it would be misleading to put WINALOT on the club shirts"

 

Ive just accidently sent that to a company who are trying to find me a job?

The thing is that I do have sympathy for the genuine fans (like your good self) but have absolutely none for the majority of the mongs who have given us so much sh!t over the years (and I'm not talking banter here, I'm talking absolute vitriol). I also have no sympathy with the club (and those that run it) who have lived outside of their means for years. They deserve everything that they get, I'm afraid.

not quite. hes staying on through the admin, then will screw the new owners for pay off

 

If new owners are miraculously found......I forsee the following press release from Mr Storrie.....

 

'In order to ensure a smooth transition, the new owners have requested I remain at PFC for the short term. I believe I owe it to the fans of this great club to make sure this new phase starts on the most positive footing. I have therefore agreed to continue in my position as Chief Executive until further notice. etc etc '

 

Anybody in his position with half an ounce of decency and/or integrity would have resigned this morning....not be clinging on to extract a few more £££ from the sinking ship.

Agreed. It would be nice to think that a descent to division 1 would shake off the more disreputable elements before they eventually climb back to mid table in the CCC which is almost certainly their more natural level. However past experience indicates this may not happen.

are Chanrai and storrie still perverting the course of justice by any chance

 

Storries statement 'It is my intention to work with the administrator to help sell the business and I hope that will be quick as there is already interest in acquiring the club. I will also work with Avram Grant on the football side.

 

'Once the sale is complete, I will tender my notice to the new owners as set out under the terms of my contract.

 

Would suggest they have done a dodgy deal with the new owners, who have said. go into administration at the end of the week and use it as a tool to wipe a lot of the debt of and then we will takeover next week or the week after. Especially as the administrator has a track record with the skates.

 

Wheres weston and Guided missile when you need them.

 

Oh I watch BBC News this morning and they had a reporter there (probably one of many) and he stated the rays of sunshine are breaking through the clouds on nortarfkrap and perhaps this is the start of a new era for the skates. I could have thrown a brick at the tv when he said that.

PES, as Graffito said, trying for the moral highground, is a big fail IMO. You come across as a well reasoned bluenose, trouble is, you are a minority, not a majority. Just look on your forums, contrite...no!!!, ashamed.....no!!, embarrased ....no!!, instead we see gloating. We see 'now lets win the FA cup, a cup in which you have cheated, by the letter of the law, but the FA have dismissed this, and like the PL, burried their collective heads in the sand, in the hope it will go away. We see the 'all our debts have gone now' postings, we see the 'we will storm the championship next year' postings, we see the 'lets sue the PL league postings. Why PES, even your very own post above, has failed in any way, to indicate shame or sorrow.

 

Instead you have a go at us, so let me tell you friend. I didn't have a go at Leeds, or Luton, nor have I had a pop at Bournmouth Leicester etc, I feel sorrow for Chester, and empathy for Crystal Palace. Your cheating lot however, I wish the worst for, and I believe strongly, that this train crash called Poor smouth, is still coming off the rails.

 

This will run and run IMHO.

1/ The Skates only started playing because their previous club was found guilty of breaking FA rules in 1897.

(It would seem that a hundred years ago the "Amateur Status" was more important than NOT paying the Tax Man today. Perhaps the F.A. had some balls then).

 

2/ The FA have to change the rules of the game "to prohibit the handling of the ball outside the prescribed area", because their gk decided to cheat.

 

3/ They even try and nick a Saint player (C B Fry) and pass him off as one of their "famous players" even though he played 90% of his career for us.

 

What is it with the Skates, they see a rule and try to work out how to break it.

(Don't pay the Tax Man; Welcome an Arms Dealer; etc etc.).

 

I fully expect them to try to break the rules about Admin and exit it next year with no penalty points with somebody like Robert Mugabe in charge.

No, as they went into admin before the deadline, something our wonderful red faced ex seemed not to realise

 

There IS no deadline in the Prem, they've got no reason to have one as no-one yet has tried putting a club into admin at half time on the last day of the season when in the process of getting relegated anyway a la Boston United and Wrexham...

 

The -10 will be a condition of an in-Admin Portsmouth FC joining the FL, of which they are not currently a member.

 

And that's just the start.

oh I don't think its suffering - we are just glad its finally come to a conclusion and with a bit of luck all those current tossers will be no part of any future club

 

Oh, but they will Mero. If, as some suspect, this is a pre-packedged administration, then you may well find that some croney of the gunrunner, will be the lucky new owner, and your ten year cycle of corruption will begin again.

If they go down by 20 points this year I wouldn't put it passed the FL to say at the end of the season.....

 

Your -9 was ineffective in the PL so in the spirit of the game (yes, remember that one?) we are going to reimpose it this season

We play Pompey once every blue moon, so it really wont have that much of an effect on us.

I know a number of really decent Pompey fans, in fact I am taking one with me to the Walsall game. But maybe your right I'm allowing the my unhealthy hatred towards those idiots that are running the club cloud my judgement.

 

Maybe if a few more fans and owners/ex and present stopped trying to blame everyone but themselves, then I might feel a little different towards them.
