Gorgiesaint Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 With Utaka leaving the score isn't 0-0 Sorry sods can't even keep track of the one transfer they did in January. Ah but players going out don't really count, it's all about what they get in. But glad they haven't got rid of Ben Haim (is he now back from West Ham?), Brown, Hughes & Herman who will still be drawing their wages!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 Not bothered by any of it. Chainrai will put Pompey in admin again sometime in the future, but whatever, there will still be a Pompey in some shape or form. Nothing to do with the fans of Pompey. Nobody gives a feck about cheating or whatever, history will just show another trophy win to add to our tally. I laugh at scummer statements of "They just don't get it do they?"...... Maybe we don't get it? or maybe we just don't give a f*ck! The only ones who gives a f*ck is you guys, to everyone else it's tomorrows Fish 'n Chip paper. The other more 'noble' clubs on the south coast will never overtake our trophy haul (even if we disappear into oblivion, you'll still never match our Major trophy wins), so again, who gives a f*ck? Not Portsmouth 'By any means necessary' Football Club. Actually PES I've got quite a few Pompey-supporting mates who do have a major problem with having cheated on £17m of their taxes. Just ask all of the staff at Portsmouth City Council probably at risk of redundancy if that money is going to missed, or the local PCT. In fact, why don't you ask the local construction companies etc in the private sector who will have to lay off staff due to loss of contracts. There are decent Pompey fans around, the ones that replenished the charitable funds that your cesspit of a football club reneged on and I take my hat off to them. Unfortunately you seem to be in the latter category, not realising that the footballing public at large well beyond think the activities were disgusting and that real people, including local small firms, have suffered. The way Cortese runs us, we'll win things and frankly, those league wins are almost as absurd as us claiming we are better than you based on us getting to the FA Cup Final v Bury in 1898 or something. Face facts - you have a swamp of a decaying stadium, no money for the foreseeable future, an asset stripper as an owner and 13000 gates. Us? No debt, run properly, a youth system that takes all of your best talent (Chamberlain, Ward-Prowse) and a modern stadium. Oh, and 23000 average in the League below. Still, its only for a season as it looks like we'll be swapping leagues come May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Lindford Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 Truely are revolting. Following the end of the court case with HMRC last summer and despite describing himself as a reluctant owner, Balram Chainrai once again took ownership of Portsmouth Football Club. Mr. Chainrai and business partner Levi Kushnir have constantly repeated their mantra of only protecting their investment, yet they must realise that they have a duty of care to the club and supporters. A lack of investment and the sale of players have left manager Steve Cotterill with a threadbare squad heading into a crucial part of the season, and an uphill battle to stay in the Championship. David Lampitt approached SOS Pompey in an attempt at appeasement following the announcement of our intended protest prior to the match against Leeds United. In the spirit of togetherness we decided to postpone that protest and sit down and talk. It is now very clear that those talks were merely lip service, and we call upon him to resign with immediate effect. SOS Pompey call upon all supporters to voice their concern about the direction that our club is taking. It is now clear that the owners are content to allow our club to drift rudderless without investment or care. We ask you to fully support the manager and team who need us now more than ever, but we must leave the owners in no doubt we hold them in the same contempt that they hold us. We ask you to join us in a noisy yet otherwise peaceful demonstration of our anger. Bring your Pompey colours, banners and above all your voices to the gates of Fratton Park in Frogmore Road 2pm prior to this Saturday’s game. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FANS, PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB IS IN THE WRONG HANDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 Is no-one else amazed that their fans want all these big signings and moan when they don't come? I know most football clubs have fairly thick fans who can't see beyond a big signing, but given their state and the way they've financially operated, wouldn't you have thought they'd show a little more intelligence? They can't all be that naive can they? They'd want SWP to arrive, not ask any questions, just assume it's all perfectly normal for a championship club with no money? I wouldn't want it. If we'd thrown money around while broke I'd have felt very uncomfortable about the club's future. More to the point, with various collections, donations etc to keep the club going, does it not leave a sour taste seeing footballers who don't give a toss take big wages? Put aside the creditors who lost most the money they were owed, what about the employees losing their jobs to save costs? It's become a horrible little microcosm of all that's wrong with football. Whilst your points are all well made, valid and probably obvious to most, you need to read PES, above. Apparrently the blue few don't give a toss about what they do or how they achieve 'success'. Cup wins are where its all at, no matter how you achieve those wins, the record will show that they are the most superior team on the south coast - having won loads of cups irrespective of the consequences. THEY DONT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT **** ALL ELSE. Do I care that the record shows them to be much better than us - not a ****in' jot. Like you, I can look at our troubled times, strangely with some pleasure now, knowing that we at least tried to do it the right way. So, yeah you can keep your cups and all that, forget the gun running, money laundering, charity cheating and general lies and deciept, and go and win yet more trophies - I care not a jot. Rivalry is one thing and long should it remain in the game - but lets not forget about decency as well, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted 1 February, 2011 Share Posted 1 February, 2011 PES, whenever I think of your club I am always reminded of that (almost certainly entirely fictional) speech Cloughie made to the Leeds players during his brief reign there. "Well, I might as well tell you now. You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest fecking dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating." Sums it all up really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to date with payments Some very strange ones as well; All payments of the CVA are up to date - Well they ******* would be, they dont start until next year. The owners have provided £1Million GBP in shareholder funds and underwrite a further facility, which at present we have not needed to utilise - Oh really? Later in his answers Lampitt admits Chanerai had to provide these undertakings to the football league in order to get their golden share. Yet the last report from UHY hacker says that they unable to pay out and admin and legal fess and were waiting for boteang and muntari money in January to pay them. Surely they could have used this facility then or doesnt chanerai want them anywhere near it? (Funny that they havent even agreed an interest rate) Note to Football league............SUCKERS. When will the revised total of unsecured debt be known? DL: This is likely to go on for some time yet. There are of course a couple of large amounts that are of particular interest, for example HMRC. HMRC recently made a general announcement that they may be willing to write off certain taxes prior to a certain date and we are hopeful this may have a positive impact on their unsecured debt - Yes Lampitt, we all genuinely and honestly believe that after you took them to the tune of 30 million, the fact that they our currently suing 3 associates and dragged the whole club through the courts, that they have had a change of heart and are about to write off a massive portion of the debt. Hmmmmmm, whilst i think the total debt total will come down, it will be for debt that didnt exist, but was perhaps needed to for percentage reasons for the CVA. Secured creditors – have the Sacha Gaydamak and Portpin claims been confirmed? DL: Not completely, although this work is ongoing And as this little one line question and answers falls gently under the radar........................ this is massive. Not sorted out yet???????????????????????? The very first time that Gaydamak came up on the secured creditors list, he listed the same charges against the same assetts as chanerai...... They are still fighting over who actually owns what (IMHO) lol....gaydamak is still out there fighting. Beautiful. Can you confirm the terms by which Mr Chainrai bought the club back out of administration? DL: I do not believe this is presently in the public domain and will not be made public. It is a private commercial deal. Surely the other creditors are informed????? What if it raised millions of pounds that could go towards their debts. If they are not informed, it could have all been a con...... oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 To be fair to the blue few, the BBC report suggests they at least had as many chances as QPR, although the quality of the chances may not have been the same of course. Next weekend looks a big one - lots of 6 pointers, although I would actually put my money on Pompey getting a result to claw their way out of the s**t. Crystal Palace v Middlesbrough Ipswich v Sheffield Utd P*mpey v Derby Preston v Bristol City A win would certainly get them clear of the bottom 3 (for a while at least) but anything else would be a bit of a disaster. They are currently 4 points clear but could easily end up only 1 point clear. By Saturday afternoon. A game for the bravehearts, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 Wouldn't it be nice if Radio Solent gave a little more coverage to the reality of Pompey's situation rather than playing along with the PR line at the club? Mr Blackmore was quick enough off the mark to report (just before a home game) that 'rumours' were circulating about Markus not being happy with Pards wasn't he? I like Adam, he's honest as the day is long but the continual playing along with the 'hard luck Pompey' routine by Solent as a whole is really quite tiresome. They haven't even seemed to question Cotterill over his claims for more players when Lembit Opik has stated they'd decided to go for 'quality over quantity'... Come on guys...let's see you investigate how they can afford their wage bill on 13k gates eh???? Basic economics dictate that there are some big porky pies out there.

They got in the financial cack, but, to be fair, have gone about the whole thing in the right way, using a bright young manager and picking up bargains from non-league and moulding them into good players, selling them on and finding more good young players. Compare that to the Skates 'quality over quantity, rip off every one and complain about being hard done by all the time' routine, ad it is hard not to wish them well.
