I remeber Corp.... And all them on fans-online saying we did feck all during our 27 years in the top flight

 

looks like they ate going to be one of the biggest embarrassments we have ever seen

Posted (edited)

The usual smell, from the spokesman quoted in the Express article:

 

"People here are working around the clock to make sure this football club does not go into administration."

 

and

 

"chief executive Peter Storrie left at the weekend for a two-week break in Australia"

 

Not all the people, obviously, and

 

"We have gone into Portsmouth to sort out the mess."

 

The vultures have now arrived, to pick over the carcass.

 

And, what does "wide of the mark" mean. When I was coached in the art of answering awkward questions, I was told that there are only 3 possible answers - yes, no or I don't know.

American Football has an interesting system. The team that finishes bottom has first pick of the next season's college draft, and every team has a maximum amount that it can spend in total on players' wages, no matter how many players they have. Look at how varied the Superbowl winners are to see how it works. Mind you, franchises there can up sticks and move to another city thousands of miles away.

 

The US system is illegal here as it would be deemed a "restriction of trade".

One question for those saying that the Premier League would bail them out to prevent them going into admin: If that did happen and therefore Pompey avoided a 9 pt penalty, what would happen if they then managed to escape relegation? Wouldn't the team who DID get relegated feel obliged to sue the Premier League for taking actions which led directly to them being relegated? Would the Premier League really risk another trip to the law courts after the whole Sheffield Utd vs West Ham nonsense?

 

We will soon see how tough the PL are if they lift the transfer embargo. I agree that the competition needs to be a level playing field for all teams and the PL will find itself in court if the skates get a helping hand, although perhaps it will be a case of if they receive help they are given a penalty as well.

Regarding Admin for the skates, Solent said that it was in the Daily Express today and they were working 24hrs round the clock to avoid it.

If they come out of the other end of this, with no points deductions or punishments, then football is screwed.

 

They shouldn't be able to get away with what they did. They're not in this position for any other reason than chasing the dream, very similar to leeds. I'm sure in comparison they spent the same amount as Leeds did a few years back (maybe even a bit more)

 

If they do go down, i have no doubt that they'll be a complete train wreck. The worry is that they do stay up - as the premiership these days is full of utter dross. You do not need to be superstars to stay up this season.

Actually he is appearing in 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' to raise some much needed cash

 

Bush tucker trial will be a doddle after eating the pies at Fartton Park

Listening to the radio this morning. Some stupid dithering journo prat was talking about pompey and how if harry had stayed he would have done something to stop this from happening.

 

Do they really believe what they say to each other

 

they are fuk'd and after the way they gloated to us a few months back. I can't wait to see them fall. I hope they get a very severe penalty in th CCC that will inevitably mean league 1 football soon after

 

 

Disgusting club. I hope their great cup win was well worth it

Lots of statements coming out of farton along the lines of

 

1) "There is no truth in the reports that the club might go into administration"

 

and

 

2) "We are working around the clock to avoid administration".

 

Now maybe they could explain how, if the first statement is true.... the second is required.

Do you think he saw this coming? ;)

If they do get relegated with a points sanction, would it still apply in the Football league?

:lol:

 

If anything, the implosion would have been even more spectacular if he'd stayed.

re the financial institutions, the little wheezy skate is swimming with sharks while wearing a high-viz waistcoat crafted from raw steak.

 

More disturbing news for them, Gold and Sullivan are trying to buy into West Ham and invest in new players. Whoops.

 

The poor teams are starting to stir.

Haven't seen or heard much about Pompey's amazing new stadium plans recently? And their fantastic training facilities? Where's all that talk gone?! Wasn't it supposed to look like this:

At this rate it's more going to look something like this:

Harry was one of those responsible for the present situation. He 'busted' WHU then 'Skatesburg' and pretty soon Tittingham Spuds.

Those Pompey transfer gossip threads are going to be fun soon.

Anybody got a good song to the tune of Tony Christies one they abused us with in our relegation season?

Posted

Even the Journos are beginning to say that the overspending by Rednapp and condoned by Gaydamak created this mess. I bet Storrie egged Gaydamak on that all would be ok with Harry at the Tiller, and the man was bewildered by it all.

It's a bidet, not a toilet. It's a common mistake.

 

And the owner is a certain Walter Mitty.

 

That thing is ridiculous on so many levels.

Posted
Good to see Storrie's gone off to Aus on holiday. That's real dedication to the cause! Unless, of course, the rumours about gardening leave were true?

 

Gardening leave is one thing but I think its more likely he has done a runner!

Oh, how times change :D

LOL

 

I tell you what...the next time we play them at SMS it is going to be very hostile...we proper owe them a spanking on the pitch and the saints fans will litterally sing their hearts out like never before.....

 

we owe them big time
