Saint_John Posted 28 May, 2011 Share Posted 28 May, 2011 But not saggy chops? There are 2 Court Case :- 1/ Storrieteller and Milan next week. 2/ Henry and Milan in middle/late July. HMRC believe there are 2 issues that require Court action. The first relates to the termination of Eyal Berkovic's contract where money was paid overseas without deduction of Tax & NI (? I don't think Henry was at the Club then). The second relates to the signing on of midfielder Amdy Faye when he moved from Auxerre to Portsmouth.

The only way they could be lining up someone like Norris is with a mega-wage, outbidding the rest, or McAuley who opted for the Prem, but had evidently been tempted by a big wedge at the Portsea Tip, because frankly the facilities or prospects ain't that great. Either it is 1) more drivel to draw in another season-ticket or two, 2) They seriously believe CSI Miami, or is it Soligorsk?, have some big dosh, 3) More public washing of the dirty linen to force Chinny's hand, or 4) They are going to sign some more £20k/week players anyway because they are the Skates and normal rules don't apply.

rallyboy Posted 30 May, 2011 Share Posted 30 May, 2011 who'd have thought that outbidding allcomers and offering vastly inflated deals could come back to bite you like this? That must be the most expensive FA Cup ever bought - how many millions did that cup run alone lose? There were the bonuses for players, and Redknapp and Storrie, that put it in the red, image rights still unpaid, and the wages are still going on as well. If you sell your soul for a 1-0 win over a bankrupt midtable championship club and give it large, don't moan about the small print when a horned bloke with a burning fork appears on the doorstep.

Considering Luton were only deducted 10 points for around 50 separate charges relating to tax misdemeanors (the other 20 were for failing to agree a CVA), and Storrie only has to answer for what 2? a points deduction like that will never happen as a result of Storrie's court case.

rallyboy Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 looks like they are hoping to triumphantly march into Fratton on June 1st - right in the middle of contract wrangles and with a couple of wages to pay before any income. Odd timing. I hope their due diligence has been better than most money-laundering concerns, if not they could catch the odd cold - I'm sure Chanrai mentioned the possibility of a points penalty and the £700K owed in back wages. The backing they give to Cotterill in the next couple of weeks should tell us how serious they are about football. Do I see the end of this thread on the horizon?....

hutch Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 Hardly surprising that there's a lot of frantic "pass the parcel" going on on payday at the end of a month with no income, when the out-of-contract squad still have to be paid. They can't afford a hiccup in paying wages when the FL is watching their "trading within our means" story so closely. So somebody has to stump up another £2m. The only facts in the News story are that nobody from the club was available for comment yesterday, and that Dubov won't comment until after the wages have been paid. I guess the purchase price has just gone up by another £2m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 31 May, 2011 Share Posted 31 May, 2011 while the ownership becomes crystal clear, the pre-season is less so... The US tour that was promised as a free trip is once again looking anything but - so why do they keep misleading the fans? Cotterill has already enjoyed a Far East holiday and a US holiday researching this 'free tour', according to him he is also spending most of his time on the phone trying to arrange this holiday - perhaps some time looking at players or being nice to Russians would be time better spent? Commenting on the problems in the News today, honest Steve says - People have to trust me, it is nothing to do with our club, nothing at all. The man looking after this from this side of the fence is trying to get sponsorship, so we may have to contribute some money towards it But, for sure, I think it would be worthwhile. Trust you??? I think the trust went when your club shafted all the local businesses and charities mate. You promised that the shafted taxpayers wouldn't be funding your club holiday last year and then your own accounts showed that they did. Meanwhile the local businesses still await payment, well, those that haven't gone under. Maybe we will see more honesty from the club if they are taken over by a consortium allegedly linked to organised crime and money-laundering.
