Pompey Takeover Saga

Recommended Posts

You know, I suddenly feel some sympathy.

 

We haven't taken a moment to stop and spare a thought for people who's lives will be ruined by the events so far today.

 

Let us just wish all those reading the days' events when they get in from work tonight great strength and fortitude and may we hope that they have not sprayed too much tea/coffee/beer over their keyboards/screens.

 

I also think that we should get some T-Shorts made. I was there when the skates went to court.

 

you wear some funky sh!t in Dubai!

I have no idea, i am in no way any sort of financial expert or anything like that.

 

Perhaps it has to do with the ground ?? Without a football club he will not get his 1m a year and anyone who wishes to buy the club will have to negotiate with him for that ground.

 

TBH the whole thing stinks, i see your point, why would he put extra money in ?? He has said he doesn't want the club.

 

There is more to come out of the woodwork yet i believe, lets just hope there is a full and unbiased review.

 

I see what you mean... but the ground's value has already been removed from the £13.5m still owed; and the ground will be rental arrangement is for £1m x 15 years...

 

Meaning Portpin would be paying £15m to pompey to receive £15m back over 15 years, and would get the additional 'benefit' of having to wait 15 years before they can call in the bulldosers and make some real money...

 

Either Chainrai has grown a heart, or something fishy is going on...

"Matthew: Mr Barker said if the appointment by Portpin of the administrators is invalid there will be a contingent application for a court appointed administration."

 

If that's really the best that they have to offer in reply, then it looks pretty bad for them.

 

50/50 that they actually succeed with the contingent application, and 50/50 that the independent administrator will wind them up immediately. A 1 in 4 chance of just surviving, never mind the future points deductions.

 

Does anyone have a source for the comments about Fugler's bank accounts and payments to Baloo?

Mr Barker said that since November 11 the club has paid more than £4m to the HMRC.

That is probably just what has been due in those months.As in vat on players sales, tickets and merchandising

 

 

Indeed, with the PL managing their transfer dealings, it might well be that they paid Kaboul and the other players VAT money direct to HMRC

For me it just doesn't make sense for him to do that, and he has already said he is not after the club.

 

People like him do not just chuck 15mil for a 'worthy cause'

 

Something stinks, and this time its not TCWTB

Mr Barker - It's far too hasty to have meeting next Thursday to assess validity of Admin..... er, why?

 

Unbelievable. This lawyer is talking cra*p. They either have, or have not, been validly appointed. No amount of time can change that. If its not valid then it needs to be ruled upon immediately - otherwise the Administrator can carry out acts that he has no power to!

Given the questions over their administrator, can somebody remind me - who paid Mark Fry ?

 

He was paid out of the assets - i.e. the funds he raised from selling SFC, and any other assets owned by SLH Plc. He would have had agreement of the amount with the creditors though before taking it, or if they said no, the court.

Michell back on the attack

 

Mr Mitchell for HMRC says the evidence of money available for administration is not good enough.

He said: 'It doesn't really go very far. It's only a promise, it isn't the provision of funding. Whether or not funding will be provided remains to be seen.'

Hmmm... and why cough up £15m after administration... and not before? He could have prevented any point deductions and perhaps even relegation had he invested 2 weeks ago.

 

And here's my answer... Portpin AREN'T going to pay £15m

So is this statement wrong - Statutory requirement that incumbent owner or Directors that file for admin have to pay the bill

I always thought it was Markus?! Probably wrong though.

 

They keep the club going through the clubs funds and basically build up a payment that comes directly from the sale of the club (or sale of assets) i believe. So Fry would get X amount an hour for X hours and that overall amount is payable on completion.

 

Difference here is that Portsmouth are unable to fund themselves through the admin process and i believe thats part of what is causing this court case as it questions the validity of the administration process.

 

I think

Yes, its wrong. Fees are usually paid out of assets and that is the case no matter who appoints the Admin.

 

Its quite possible to have costs covered another way, particularly if there is a concern that assets may not be enough / may not be realised for a long time - this is usually something the Admin will insist on to protect himself.

is it just me or have the News sent a young kid to go and report. There seems to be massive pauses in his info and surely there are a lot of other info coming out that he is not telling us. You need a shrewd mind to take it on board but this guy is just giving very little snippets.

If you read his posts alongside the BBC Twitter feed through @BBC_Matt - there's a distinction.

 

Which is, the BBC are reporting the facts - The News are reporting what suits their target market - mushrooms.

Nice to see their taking a rational equally balanced view on this.

 

(That's because it's all lies you f*ckwit!!!)
