OldNick Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 (edited) What is it that makes you think they've turned a corner? They have gone into admin, have millions upon millions to settle for, will face massive cuts,will probably be exposed for "irregularities" and face almost certain relegation. A reduced TV cash package is not exactly a ray of sunshine in these circumstances! Greg, if I stood back and looked at it from any other business standpoint I have encountered I would also say they were history....but for weeks on here we have had lots of very well people versed in these things saying that Pompey would not survive. They are still here and seeing how they have got away with so much in the last decade or so that has been obvious to lay men like myself, I feel they will get another large slice of luck. They are only 1 game from wembley semi final and 2 from the final. Just imagine the world coverage and the sypathetic media coverage and you never know some Chinese billionaire may come forward to save this quaint old football club.

Wes Tender Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 I must say what fun its been the past few months, watching the Skates self-destructing. It gives me some comfort when thinking back to them being in the Premiership, winning the FA Cup and knocking us out of the Cup, that everything has been achieved on the back of such incredible financial incompetance that they have now received their come-uppance in the doomsday scenario that they now face. In many ways, I had hoped that they would be liquidated and have to start again from the lowest rung of the football structure in this country. But in hindsight, perhaps it will be preferable to watch them slowly descend to those depths through points deductions, sale of any quality player assets, falling attendances and lack of investment. Many have asked how any sane Saints fan could wish total annihilation onto even our most hated rivals, but personally, I would not miss them that much for one simple reason; we played it by the rules and ended up in the third division. They cheated their way to the Premiership, to the FA Cup and to victory over us recently. It seems eminently reasonable to me under the circumstances that the third division ought to be the minimum depths that they should plumb. It really is quite an admission I make when I say that Lowe acted with some honour and dignity by comparison. Like many, I accept that the Skates do have some sensible, intelligent fans. Some post on here and others I know through business. For them I feel sympathy and understanding. However, they are just a small minority. For all those who came on here giving it large, gloating at our demise less than a year ago and for all those Neanderthals who constitute their more representative fanbase, why should I care a toss whether their poxy little club lived or died? It has been encouraging that during the past few months, the plastics that wore their shirts in our part of Hampshire have diminished in numbers, either through shame, or because they have switched their allegiances to some other team that is not such an embarassment. I look forward to the time that even fewer of them will exist. At long last, it is beginning to penetrate even the thickest of craniums of the blue few, that the price paid for the Premiership status, FA Cup and beating us, might not after all have been worth paying. The pendulum is now very firmly set on its course in our favour. Their crappy little relic of a stadium that they don't own, lack of training facilities, inability to afford decent players and future lack of investment will determine that it will be decades until they get back to the top flight, if ever.

"We remain concerned that fans and communities of football clubs like Portsmouth shouldn’t suffer because of the inability of clubs to manage their finances properly." So the question to be asked is will he lend PFC money or bring them into public ownership like he has done with the banks? By the way mr Broon talks about his concenrns for the communities of football clubs but he doesnt give a toss about the forth comming cuts that will hit the navy dockyard and mothballing of ships and boats(For dell days) Either he was just trying to sound 'down with it' by showing concern for something that millions of people in this country care about (football I mean - not the skates ... obviously!!!!) or he has seriously got his priorities wrong!

hutch Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 That man Storrie really is an ársehole. It's reported on the SSN tickertape that he has told them he will stand down after a new owner is found. Er, no, Pete. What you said you'd do was give notice, in terms of your contract, after a new owner is found. In my experience, director's and senior executive's contracts have anything up to 12 months notice. So you can put yourself in front of all the local businesses that you conned into working for or supplying the Company to get paid, when you, more than anybody else, knew that the Company was bankrupt, and that there was no chance of them getting paid. Nice one, Pete. And you dare to call the fans vile. Any honourable man would have resigned at 10.31 yesterday morning, foregoing any compensation that might be due, and work with the Android to find a buyer pro-bono.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 27 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 27 February, 2010 Just got this from my original informer - juicy stuff. I quote - "The Pompey kit man, Kevin McCormack was on.....£73,000 a year! F**k me, I know junior hospital doctors who don't pull that in. Not sure how much Woggy earned, but I bet it wasn't half that. £73,000 for hanging the players' kit on hooks for them, collecting it up after the game, putting it in a skip and taking it to be washed. Apparently, it was part of Storrie's modus operandus to give everyone huge salaries, which didn't make his look quite so bad. Gary Double, their director of communications (ie, press officer) pulled in £135,000 a year as a freelance consultant, but he hadn't been paid for three months when he jumped ship on Thursday.

Viking Warrior Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 FF I think that "The Pompey kit man, Kevin McCormack salary of £73,000 a year! is probably the norm for the premiership if david Golds revelations about west ham are anything to go by They had a driver on £50k a year just to drive the players back and forth between the training ground and upton park when they couldnt be arsed to drive their DB9's Also he revealed that everybody had state of the art mobile phones paid for by the club including their footballers who were on some obscene weekly salary So Im not suprised about Keevin Cormack would be interested to know how much storries office cleaner was on .

gaz Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 If Storrie jumped after the FA Cup, Skates would be calling him a hero and blaming everything afterwards on someone else.

Fowllyd Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 I may be biased, but still can't believe the other pundits in the studio were all so defensive of Poopy's super duper support. It seems to be a myth that's taking a long time to die - but it's getting there. Maybe it's based on the genuinely impressive attendances they got in the old Fourth Division all those years ago, but great praise is still frequently heaped onto their undeserving fans. The simple fact is that Pompey fans are no different to any other team's fans (give or take the odd extra digit and club foot of course); more of them turn up when times are good, but their numbers diminish when times are bad. If they were as fabulous as the myth would have it they'd have been filling Fratton Park all season, not for just one game - and that against Man Utd! It'll be both interesting and informative to see just how many turn up for their next home league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 27 February, 2010 Share Posted 27 February, 2010 So, Avram Grant is interviewed by Radio Solent and the reporter asks him whether a points deduction is fair. No, says Grant, it's not fair on the players or the fans. We will appeal it. So the reporter then asks what will be the effect on the team if the points deduction is imposed... What sort of excuse for a reporter is this? Is he a professional, or some pimply youth on work experience? The points deduction will be made because it is the rules. The points deduction will not be because of the players or the fans; it will be because the people who ran the club ran up massive debts buying players that they did not have the income to afford, thus giving their club an advantage over those teams who were more circumspect about their expenditure. Even if Grant either does not have the intelligence to understand this, or is just being deliberately disingenuous, does not mean that the reporter cannot try and exercise his brain cells and tell him that the points deduction will be imposed, or if it is not, then it will be a travesty and a cop-out of epic proportions by the FA.
