dronskisaint Posted 14 April, 2011 Share Posted 14 April, 2011 mate of mine owns a lifetime ticket and almost never goes so knock one off that huge figure. Lifetime ticket? How does that work? Genuine question and how does it get honoured through the various owners/companies? When was it issued? The club has died twice in recent memory and smells like it's been dead for years.

angelman Posted 14 April, 2011 Share Posted 14 April, 2011 well, it seems the Russians are currently attempting the FaPPT and a deal could be completed by the end of the month... That will be the same deal that would complete a fortnight ago, and then a week ago. Time to find out if the football authorities can spot organised crime when it comes and knocks on their front door dressed in smart suits, carrying AK47s and a horse's head in a bag. I suspect you just have to stuff a handful of notes into Lampitt's thong and he'll make a call to the right people and the paperwork is yours. Time to see if the FL have any cojones or bend over and take it from this group of lovely Russians. Next hurdle is to provide proof of funds, but if you have registered the name of a couple of banks I guess you have your own headed notepaper so that one is sorted. This is the bank that has it's HQ above a music shop in suburbia isn't it? Finally you have to agree a price with Chanrai based on the amount of debt, cva, and complications on land use etc. That might be the toughest of the three, he'll want £25M in some form and the real business just isn't worth a third of that. Unless you already have an agreement with the arms dealer and this is a complete Russian property development stitch up. Or you plan to launder so much filthy cash through it that the purchase price doesn't matter. Football authorities - this time show us you have some bottle rather than rolling over and getting your tummy tickled. Roll up, roll up, there's still mileage left in the old train wreck. Exactly. Given the state of the club, you either have to be a complete fool or a fraudster to buy it. There is no compelling business reason for buying it at all. None. And if you really want to buy a club there are others that make SO much more financial sense. What I find amusing are the clubs they have been linked to. Presuming that these guys are bona fide investors.....! B'mouth apparently was other people (agents) trying to cause trouble. Rangers, now that was something they put a bid in for or tried to. A bit of going from the sublime to the ridiculous isn't it? If you are ambitious enough to try and buy Rangers (with £30m odd of debt) why then settle for Poopey? Who would be better to buy for a similar amount? Far too many to mention.... Reading for one. The Geordies might be too expensive. Bolon, Wolves, WBA, Wigan (although I am sure Whelan wouldn't sell to anyone). Maybe Fulham. Most of the nPC. Complete fools tend not to last too long as they run out of money pretty quickly, so that leaves the alternative. That is unless you are so attached to the club (usually when you are born and bred in the area and supported all your life) that you realise that you are losing money but don't ind it in some sort of altruistic gesture.

BigShadow Posted 14 April, 2011 Share Posted 14 April, 2011 Lifetime ticket? How does that work? Maybe its a new attempt to boost attendances - PFC in conjunction with Southampton Crown Court offer alternative punishment option - either 5 years vacation in Winchester at HMP, or a 'Lifetime ticket' to Krap Nottarf (attendance at every game is mandatory). Presumably the take up on the lifetime ticket offer would be pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 14 April, 2011 Share Posted 14 April, 2011 so does the current business still honour the 'lifetime season ticket' bought before the last two administrations despite several name and numerous ownership changes? Is it in the due diligence that you have to give some people free football forever even though the company their contract is with no longer exists? Not sure I would take on a business with that sort of historical set up, imagine buying a pub where previous owners heading for bankruptcy had arranged for people to have free drinks for life. How about Chanrai sells 10,000 lifetime seats for £500 each as his parting gift to new owners? If only they had that many fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 15 April, 2011 Share Posted 15 April, 2011 If I recall it was £2000, but only about 300 gambled on the club going to the wall taking their money with them. The season ticket price in the last season in the Prem was over £650 quid, so needless to say those 300 have cleaned up and will continue to do so. I actually haven't spoken to the guy I know since they folded the company, but we'd of heard some moans from those 300 if their golden ticket had been taken away from them.

Gemmel Posted 15 April, 2011 Share Posted 15 April, 2011 Published on Friday 15 April 2011 13:57 Pompey chief executice David Lampitt has promised he remains ‘1,000 per cent’ committed to reintroducing credit card payments for Pompey season tickets. Blues fans have have been told they can only renew in the ‘early bird’ period up to April 28 by cash, cheque or through a repayment scheme run by Zebra finance. But unless the club resolves its difference with credit card service providers, the Pompey chief executive has warned he cannot see a solution. Card companies have imposed restrictions on Pompey which mean they will only release cash to the club on a match by match basis rather than up-front. Mr Lampitt said: ‘We are continuing to find a suitable resolution with the credit card service provider which allows us to offer credit card facilities while not harming the financial position of the football club. ‘We have a business plan with the Football League which has been built around season ticket money coming in from March to June. ‘For all football clubs, that is a critical part of the funding through the summer because we are not playing games and there are not those income streams. ‘We cannot put ourselves in a position financially where there is a multi-million pound hole in our business plan with the Football League because the credit card companies are not releasing that money. Errr David, there already is a multi million pound hole in your business plan. You are still 5 million short on CVA money you were due to raise in player sales. Seems like the credit card companies aren't budging. What happens if they fall foul of their promises to the FA. As Rallboy said yesterday, still plenty of life in this little thread. And just think if they hadn't signed lawerence and kitson, whose wages alone relate to over 5,000 season tickets, this wouldn't be a problem.

sidthesquid Posted 15 April, 2011 Share Posted 15 April, 2011 Re the last two posts. The DCFSBs are incapable of change, aren't they? Cheating and blaming others is totally endemic. Cotterill - what a kn0b - blatant, deliberate handball & their 8th sending off this season (v our one for Gobern's freak mistackle) & everyone a bad decision against the wafer-thin heroes. And Clampitt - shock horror, something they have known for at least a year (same scenario last renewal time) is unjustly derailing the carefully considered business plan. Either they are two very stupid people, or they are secretly very sly and only say these idiotic things to appease some other very stupid people - very difficult to know which.

sotonswan Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 The highest Pompey can come is currently 6th. If they lose next weekend to Swansea then it will be mathematically impossible for them to reach the play-offs. Swansea have now lost their last 4 away games (painfully. I've been listening to them.) But now that second place is virtually out of reach for the Swans and play-offs are relatively secure they may play with less nerves next weekend and kill Pompey's season for good. Hope so.

Anyway, as pedg noted, the Cheats can only catch Leeds in the playoff places, and that's provided they win their remaining matches and Leeds only pick up 1 more point (assuming Leeds maintain their massive goal difference advantage). Of course, the Cheats also need the 7 teams between them and Leeds to only pick up at most a handful of points between them. If I were a loan shark owner whose seen my millions squandered in a futile gamble to get back to the Sky money league, I would now be starting to mix the concrete boots for those responsible, and preparing plan B for the club (which I suspect the few aren't going to enjoy).

rallyboy Posted 16 April, 2011 Share Posted 16 April, 2011 To take the highest paid XI in the division and coach them to mid-table mediocrity amid chaotic disciplinary problems sets Cotterill apart from most managers. Miracle worker? Maybe not, but he is certainly special... Though I'm still not convinced about his definition of quality in the whole ongoing and disastrous quality over quantity experiment that he intends to repeat next season. If there is one. I've enjoyed the terrific job he's done as much as I'm enjoying the craggy old prossie-botherer's latest relegation debacle. You can't take his spirit, but if you pop down to Upton Park you can have the three points anytime you fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
