OldNick Posted 13 January, 2011 Share Posted 13 January, 2011 Taken from a Pompey message board. Makes interesting reading. 12 Jan 2011 17:08:06 Portsmouth defender Ricardo Rocha will sign for QPR before the end of January - personal terms being discussed. 12 Jan 2011 12:12:40 Richard Hughes is going back to Bournemouth, best mates with Eddie Howe and has been told he's got no chance of playing for Pompey again. Either a free transfer or nominal fee. Expect any money Pompey recieve to be sucked straight into funding the first CVA payment, which as it stands, Pompey don't have enough for. For this reason, expect Brown (linked with Wolves) and at least one more to leave Fratton Park. It won't be Lawrence - footballing rules dictate a player cannot move twice in one transfer window, and he signed the permanent deal on the opening day of this window, making him ineligable to move again this month. It's looking likely to be Nugent, with a host of clubs looking to get his signature. Cotterill's handed chief exec David Lampitt a list with three permanent players he desperately wants, and two loans, one thought to be an extention to Halford's loan. Lampitt has apparently told Cotts he's not got a hope in hell with two of the three permanents, and is unsure whether or not they can get hold of the second loan signing. {ed's note - didn't Lawrence move on loan first? If so his arrival date could be set on that, rather than the date he signed permanently. Though it depends on the loan contract, if a loan with a view to perm then it will be the original loan date that matter. Mind if he signed on a perm only when the window opens then it is unlikely to be a loan with a view to perm, those on that kind of contract can complete a perm move at any time, even outside the windows.}Im not sure if this info can be correct as there is no way Bournemouth could pay Hughes 15k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 13 January, 2011 Share Posted 13 January, 2011 I know all clubs will push the rules as far as possible and I would want Saints to do that if it were within the spirit of the game BUT I can't remember another club putting in a false appeal against their own admission of guilt, losing it, sending the player back to his own club to serve the extra game where he wasn't wanted, then miraculously re-signing him a week later. he wasn't given an extra game ban.

Chez Posted 13 January, 2011 Share Posted 13 January, 2011 well his contract will still be rolling and it was said to be a lot more than 15k. I heard it was closer to £20k.

rallyboy Posted 13 January, 2011 Share Posted 13 January, 2011 That's their main problem, they overpay everyone - apart from creditors! The players won't get the same money elsewhere, Hughes has to decide on whether he wants to play football or earn money. Most go for the latter - see S.Wright-Phillips etc. No need for Hughes to do anything, he can just sit there and take his money, then get a move in the summer on lesser wages. No point in us looking at anyone there as we couldn't match their spending, not many outside the Prem top three could - or will. Most clubs are astonished at pompey's generosity and their pioneering work in raising ordinary players' wages. There's Blackpool halfway up the Prem with a massive income, bringing in players like Hammill on presumably about £10K a week - they, Wigan, West Brom, Wolves, none can compete with post-admin pompey on wages. Funnily it's only uncle Avram and his mates offering Bridge £90K a week who are just as bonkers. That's your dream player auction - pompey and West Ham trying to get Pulis off us..... Didn't the FA and FL ever wonder how pompey can outbid just about anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 the article confuses it by mentioning sell on clauses - looks more like Harry gave them an interest-free loan as a Begovic deposit tied to the Kaboul deal, and they sold him and trousered it. So by loaning money and through transfer activity, Spurs did more than any other club to help them try to avoid admin, thus reducing the chances of a full investigation into where the money went. And let's remember how Redknapp supported his old mate by claiming Storrie showed him pompey contracts long after he'd left. Odd, but it all makes sense if you can imagine what they might gain.

And the rest I'm surprised for fans who pride themselves on how well informed they are (not to mention how far up their own arses) just how much you get wrong. Granty confidently reported a while back when you were all pontificating (again) about how much our players were paid that Hughes was on £35K a week. It's now come out that he's on £22K a week. Still big money for an average player but demonstrates that you've got no idea how much our players are paid. Bleating on about how much we're paying for loan players when you have no idea what the deal is. I saw someone post that we're paying £16K a week for Halford.

Azougy did a deal with Spurs for Kaboul and Begovic to join them at a combined fee. Begovic wanted first team football and refused to go so we sold him to Stoke. Spurs say that the fee agreed was a joint one for the two players and are claiming £1m as only one player joined - but they still signed Kaboul and that's why PFC are disputing we owe them anything for a player they didn't sign.

dubai_phil Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 11k a week in the NPC... even after a pay cut... Let's see what we did in similar situation. Oh yeah, we didn't play them so they couldn't be due win or appearnce money we did not have. 22k basic, 13k a week bonuses no doubt. We made do with Loyd James on 4k a week Hohoho seems to think even at 11k a week he's getting a value for money player. Let's face it, both of them didn't do the job needed either. I wonder what the maximum salary is at that massive club Doncaster (who sit proudly above the Skates at the moment) How about the masive wages paid to the superstars of Watford who sit in what Ho believes is his rightful place in the league? Stop making us laugh Corpy. Your club chose a route of High salaries AGAIN at the start of the season and look where it has got you. Why don't you send Storrie on another scouting trip to Africa searching for money again. Heard there are a whole load of African Witch Doctors around who can make money fall out of the sky. Should fit in well with your Business Strategy.

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 I think a bit of mythology has developed but here are a few Crop Ho gems to lol at: Not going to heppen, certainly not signing Eto'o/ Villa etc but wouldn't be surprised to see Maradona acting as some sort of "ambassador" (call it what you want) for PFC lol But I thought no-one would buy Pompey Nick. You told me so repeatedly and so did the Romsey Retard. You kept saying you were a much more attractive proposition. Don't worry, I've read he's only 10 times as wealthy as Abramovich lol Yeah, it's way too high although our turnover for last year was £70m (!) and with the players that are out of contract in the summer such as Campbell, Lauren and Kanu who are big earners we'll shave around £15m off the wage bill. Even allowing for some replacements to come in that will take us down to around 60% of our income which is the Prem's guideline. like that ever happened. Keep up doofus, it's not Riquelme, it's Saviola. Players Out: Hreidarsson - Celtic/ Reading Sol Campbell - Newcastle/ Villareal Utaka - Rangers/ Lens/ Rennes Kanu - Fiorentina/ Ajax (£2m!!!) Lauren - AEK Athens/ Bolton/ Wigan Kranjcar - Arsenal Players In: Saviola/ Drenthe - Real Madrid (Loan) Joey Barton (£3m)/ Benjani/ Michael Johnson (£6m combined) (Man City) Edu - Valencia (Loan) Manuel Fernandes - Valencia (£6m) Gary O'Neil - Boro (£4.5m) Edin Dzeko - Wolfsburg (£7m) Mirel Radio - Steaua Bucharest (£4.5m) Ronald Zubar - Marseille (£6m) Aruna Dindane - Lens (£6m) Blaise Matuidi - St Etienne (£8m) Well you got Dindane in the end, lolz all round Was told late last night that the SA group looking to buy us had a hitch in their plans but that they now have the finance to buy the club pretty much in place. They have around £60m and Gaydamak wants £65m. Have been told that the deal should (unless something else crops up) happen some time in January. Have also been told that this group don't want Adams and that he's likely to be moved out before the deal is announced. So keep watching. think you should sack your source. I've been told that Pompey's financial situation is nowhere near as bad has been suggested by the media. Gaydamak sold his stake in one of his other companies for £35m recently (Antanta Pioglobal if anyone wants to look it up) so while he won't want to use all of that cash on PFC it gives him some breathing space if it's needed in an emergency. bless PMSL. So when Storrie says this he's the man to listen to but when he says we have no financial problems and that we won't be selling players in January you tell me he's a liar and that we're going bust. I love the way you lot change your tune when it suits you. mega lolz Unfortunately for me it looks as though the Chinese group (whose bid isapparently still on the table) are going to be outbid by the South African offer (see story below from the South African newspaper). Would rather the Chinese lot won as they seem prepared to put more into the club but Gaydamak will make more from the African one, not just initially but also an involvement in any stadium that's built. There's also a group from the UAE sniffing around who met with Gaydamak last week. Looks like I've ended up with egg foo yung on my face over the date on this one but I'm still willing to bet that we get new owners before you do. words fail me There were several groups/ individuals who have been looking at buying Pompey. The German group were one of them, as dear old Nick Nack confirmed he'd heard. The Arab group that were going to buy Charlton were also interested but dropped out when Gaydamak wanted a company he has interests in to be given the building contract for the new stadium. There was also a group backed by money from the Rausing family (owners of the Tetrapak, richest family in Britain I believe) and a couple of others. However, I've been told that a deal ha now been done and will be announced within a couple of weeks. it keeps on coming If the buyers are from the four groups I was told about I don't think spending £130m on a stadium will make much of a dent in their finances. keep dreaming Nick, nice to get into a decent & sensible conversation with you for once. The £130m you quote is not just for the stadium. The plans also include a 10,000 seat arena for concerts and also other commercial developments (I assume retail, bars etc). Finding a buyer doesn't seem to be a problem, we have at least four groups sniffing around and like I said earlier, I'm told a deal will be done before Xmas. Haven't heard about Germans but if you move a little further North in Europe you wouldn't be too far wrong from the group leading the pack at the moment. so which non-existent group were leading the non-existent pack? The scandinavian Al-Faraj? I've been told that there are three bids on the table for Pompey. One is a Thai group, one is a Russian guy whose name I've been told but won't repeat on here (he's very, very wealthy though - we're talking multiple billions) and the third is in all likelihood not arabs but Hong Kong Chinese - again mega Billions. go on, you may as well spill the beans now? Good to see what Stuey said - that mega rich investors wouldn't be lining up to buy Pompey - coming true isn't it? He's a genius that Stuey Maybe Stuey was right in the end eh?

Chez Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 (edited) Err, no Granty, Richard Hughes did. All over the papers that he's offered to take a 50% wage cut from £22K a week to £11K a week to get a new contract. So he wasn't on £35K a week. Surprised you guys didn't see it, given how closely you seem to search our local paper and post on any online pieces posing as Pompey fans nice try, but actually that £22k figure (which I don't neccesarly disagree on seeing as I said £20k) has just been bandied about in the `fans responses at the bottom of a Portsmouth News item on their website' - see post 28 on: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/frattonlatest/Familiar-faces-could-provide-an.6659835.jp?CommentPage=3&CommentPageLength=10 Richard Hughes has at no point revealed to the papers his wage.

Surprised you guys didn't see it, given how closely you seem to search our local paper and post on any online pieces posing as Pompey fans As I always say when any of you 'tards post this, post me a link to me saying Maradona was going to be our manager or that we would sign Riquelme, Eto'o etc. In fact, just last week Crabtard posted some quotes from Pompey fans on here one of which was me saying I had no idea if the stadium at the Hard would be built. If that's now me saying it was definitely going to happen your grasp of English is very odd. The article says what I posted. Fee agreed for two players, Begovic refused to go there and Spurs are claiming there was compensation of £1m agreed. before or after bonuses? LOL anothersaintinsouthsea has reminded us perfectly you have 0 credibility on what's gone on down at Fratton Park in the last couple of years. You are a laughing stock.

JackFrost Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 Massive LOL at these pictures: http://www.thedigitalsouth.com/search/results.ehtml?searchtype=advanced&search=1&searchkeywords=Portsmouth+stadium+featured Happy friday, everyone!!! LOL a 36,000 capacity stadium when they couldn't even fill a 20,000 capacity stadium in the PL. In a way it's a shame that didn't go ahead, the amount of empty seats right now would be thoroughly entertained every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeletiss Posted 14 January, 2011 Share Posted 14 January, 2011 I think a bit of mythology has developed but here are a few Crop Ho gems to lol at: Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Not going to heppen, certainly not signing Eto'o/ Villa etc but wouldn't be surprised to see Maradona acting as some sort of "ambassador" (call it what you want) for PFC lol Originally Posted by Corporate Ho But I thought no-one would buy Pompey Nick. You told me so repeatedly and so did the Romsey Retard. You kept saying you were a much more attractive proposition.
