Pompey Takeover Saga

[Tamesaint]

according to a couple of solicitors on the Pompey board this says that since 3rd June this year CSI own it 100%

 

 

Corp, I think that you have been talking to the wrong type of solicitor!!

[St Jim]

I like it better when you don't reply (like Dubya refusing to answer a straight question) because you know and I know that means I'm right and you lot are too embarrassed to admit it. If you're talking about Appleton, he has got Championship experience. He got WBA promoted alongside Di matteo. In fact, according to some, he had more to do with that than Di Matteo.If it's him, he wouldn't be my first choice but I'd rather give someone like him a go than tired old faces like Dowie or Boothroyd. I mean, he might not have managerial experience but everyone has to start somewhere. Who;d have thought an ex - physio would do so well?

 

You really are thick aren't you? To suggest he has Championship experience because he was someone's assistant is like saying that Steve Wigley had Premiership experience prior to Strachan leaving and Wigley got us to the Cup Final & 8th in the PL. I don't want to p155 on your parade but look how that turned out, mind you, you you keep believeing it - it'll be so much sweeter for us when it goes t1ts up for you.

 

 

Nice to see no-one replying to my post about Chainrai's alleged debenture. No comment girls?

 

Whore, Any response to post 43621? (cue tumbleweed)

[Dark Munster]

£2k a week!?

 

He's probably taking a pay cut if he does go!

 

Maybe he's willing to work for peanuts because Roman and Vlad have promised that he would be the centrepiece of a revolutionary new coaching setup.

Is he paying his own compo for his release?

[Fowllyd]

Sorry to dash some hopes, but I think it is just a case of having not been updated. That doesnt mean Chinny doesn't have some hold over them. If we take his comment That he is being paid over a period of time, then it would make sense he has some form of security.

 

If so, it's taking one hell of a time to update. The land registry entry that Corp quoted is current; I got a copy yesterday and it says exactly the same. It said the same back in June too, when I downloaded a copy and posted bits on here. At that time I thought that maybe some changes had not yet reached the register. However, the two documents are identical, indicating no change since June.

 

I'd say that the "proprietor for the time being of the charge dated 6 October 2009 in favour of Portpin Limited" is in fact Portpin Limited. Naturally, this could change (Chainrai could sell on the debt if he wishes), but if the Russians had simply bought the whole lot I'd expect that entry to disappear, as the charge would no longer be current.

You should also check out what his ACTUAL title at the club was at the time....

 

Was he ASSISTANT Head Coach like he is now? If so, who is the ACTUAL head coach, and is he any better than the ASSISTANT?

Speculatively.

 

Going back full circle. The last recorded estimate of CSI's sports investment budget was the figure they invested in their F1 sponsorship - 8mil

 

Nobody else has found anything on the internet to prove or disprove that data. (Despite the best efforts of the troll)

 

Now the documentation shows a 7mil payment. It is pretty unlikely that figure would have been paid in full IF CSI are using the budget (+/- a few percentage points) as that would have left only enough cash to pay Voldermort 2k a week and fix a toilet. (But not TBH's wages)

 

So it starts to become possible to deduce that CSI have made some form of agreement to pay in stages and hence the charge remains in place as security against future payments.

 

Again, purely speculatively, based on the only available data found to date, this means that the annual budget could be reduced leaving the few with less funding than they imagined.

 

Of course, equally speculatively, CSI may well have discovered a separate Capital Acquisition budget. But that then poses the question as to why the charge remains. In this instance it would then lead to a possible assumption that Chanrai still has his hands on the last of the Parachute Payments.

 

So, this year the toilets, next year the clock. Maybe soon they will be able to afford Loo Rolls to put in the toilets.

 

Oh, just a BTW. Perhaps seeing as they are praying for a full house (their only one of the season) against us, we should boycott the game entirely and refuse to give them our cash.

[warsash saint]

I love this thread Still got plenty of legs to take it over 1000 pages!

[OldNick]

 

 

 

 

Yes, you came second. In an era when teams like West Ham, QPR, Ipswich & even Watford (Watford FFS) finished second, not to mention teams like Forest, Derby and Villa actually won it. So well done, you emulated the achievements of the mighty Watford.

 

Yes teams like like Forest and Villa did win the league in those days, they also went on to win the European cup, those days only the winners of the leagues entered not like now. it was a time also when the English clubs dominated.

 

As for your post saying that you were not in debt when you won the cup, you are having a complete laugh, under MM and Gaydamek the papers published the fact that you were in massive debt (50-£100m) and you came on and argued differently. We pointed out at the time that you did not have the crowds to finance it but of course you came back saying it was Gaydameks money, lol.

Your club spent more than it earnt the day it took HR and PS the first time. You only have to look at any other club MM has owned since and you can see he has little money to pump in, that bunch were the first to spend spend spend, you were the Wigan of the South in footballing terms and Greece in financial terms. You spend to ife to the full but dont have the guts to take the medicine and go down the default route.

[Tamesaint]

So Corp gets shown up to be a complete muppet yet again and disappears from the forum. This time it is on the subject of the debenture. He logged on at 8:47 this morning , didn't like the stick he was getting and hasn't posted to day.

 

I don't expect that he will post for a week or so but then will come back to have a go at Phil, to tell us how great Pompey are because they did not lose at the weekend (they aren't playing) and then to tell us that Pompey are financially very sound.

 

Life must be difficult for him - trying to be a troll but being rather thick.

[Chez]

our away support last year, when we had Chainrai raping rthe club and no investment averaged 300 less than yours when you were pushing for automatic promotion. What a gulf eh?

 

might be an idea to take into consideration the fact we sold our full allocation at Exeter, Brentford, Brighton, Leyton Orient, Plymouth, Bournemouth, Walsall, Dagenham, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Yeovil and Colchester, but the smaller size capacities restricted overall away attendances. Just 1100 tickets available for Bournemouth for example and 800 at Brighton.

 

Looking at this year we're averaging 2000 and you are averaging 1000.

[hutch]

We pointed out at the time that you did not have the crowds to finance it but of course you came back saying it was Gaydameks money, lol.

Of course it was. Right up until the day Standard Bank said "We want our money back now please".

[pfc123]

Yes, I wonder what Aviva pension holders would say to that, hmmm? Yet more pot calling the kettle black methinks....

They received close to 9 years intersest at close to 1.8m + around 7 mil final payoff so although no profit - close to break even ish... thing is Pfc, no one is happy we ended up not fullfilling the terms of that contact following admin, its never a good thing, but you have to admit that this loan was taken out when we had no issues with repayment on infrastrcture - we NEVER missed a payment even when relegated right up until going into admin... but its a huge difference than defaulting on all payments as a result of spending huge amounts on transfers and wages way beyond the income stream of a club with a 20k ground?

QUOTE]

 

LOL we had much lower allocations last season with often only hundreds of tickets available.

What is your excuse this season then? We took 2700, full allocation to a sold out Pride Park, you managed only 947 in a ground that was no where near sold out. Nice level playing field this season as we are in the same division yet still the mythical great support has failed to materialise. We have had 3 away sell outs already this season, a 4th coming up on the 26th. Please do try and keep up.

[Frank's cousin]

To be fair... I am not sure that support levels are really that relevent in the grand scheme of things - also impacted on by local social demographic and disposable income during difficult financial times.... I have no issue with their support, had they not made such a dig deal about how great they are.....

[warsash saint]

I used to quite enjoy PFC123's posts .... But he is now more deluded than Corp !!!

Our pet Skates really have started to get quite agressive, oh well, cornered animals and all that.

Personally, I just think it's a shame to see a good man give up a perfectly good coaching job at WBA (P/League) for the certain ruination of his career ...

I hear what you're saying, my point is that although the circumstances and the amount of debt are always going to be different as we're talking about two different businesses in different stages of the business cycles, the PRINCIPAL is the same i.e. as I've said many time on here before: we spent money we didn't have on players*, you spent money you didn't have on a new ground.**

 

In each case the plan was flawed in that if certain things went wrong, both clubs were in deep doo-doo.

 

*In our case it was ok all the time Gaydamak was happy and/or able to keep pumping money in. The Ocotober 2008 crash put paid to that, as Gaydamak's main income is from commission earned by brokering Russian stock market deals. Deals that collapsed in number after the crash.

 

**In your case, you needed to stay in the Premiership, OR if you went down, you needed to spend very carefully to make sure you could keep up with running costs of a new ground and lower Championship crowd and t.v. income. You dodn't spend very carefully at all- blowing £7m on some fairly average players that didn't get you back up, made the business very vulnerable.

 

Bleating on about how you went under for the sake of 4k is irrelevant. Whether it's £4, 4k or 40m, once the bank loses confidence in you it's goodnight Vienna.

 

We both went into admin because both business models were unsustainable if certain events occured. Sure, the figures are different, for a start you went under as a Championship club, we went under in the Premiership.

 

What I will give you is that our model was more shaky than yours, but the PRINCIPAL i.e. that both were flawed and mismanaged is the same. Sorry, it really is........

[pfc123]

I used to quite enjoy PFC123's posts .... But he is now more deluded than Corp !!!

 

Sorry mate but that's a crap post, and follows the mistake most of you slip into on here when you read something you don't like- most of you just lash out with something inane or abusive.

 

I'm amazed at Corp's patience actually. He obviously spends a lot of time researching his evidence. I don't know whether it's all accurate or not, as I don't have the time most days to verify it, but to keep bouncing back from one abusive post after another deserves at least a nod of respect.

 

Maybe that's asking too much though on here?

The word is principle you thick skate c*nt...not that you'd understand the meaning if you did spell it properly whether in capitals or not!

 

I'm not going to try to explain why your feeble attempt at drawing a comparison between a business failure due to mismanagement on a relatively small but ultimately unsustainable (and largely repatriable) scale and a massive defrauding of the taxpayer, charities,your own players, staff, customers as many have obviously failed to make it simple enough for your IQ.

 

Suffice to note that you can't even spell it...that speaks volumes

[rallyboy]

both businesses got into trouble......and that me old mate is where the similarity ends.

 

 

One business made drastic cuts, the other went on a spending spree which they could never honour - and as you well know, that is the main gripe that drives this thread.

How can a business that is insolvent outbid other clubs etc? - they just flicked the Vs at football and their own city.

 

I won't list the crimes again, I'm sure you are aware of all the dodgy things done when the company was clearly insolvent, all cynically done to gain an advantage on the pitch, and don't kid yourself it's just a local rivalry thing.

 

If Leeds had done that we would be up in arms, if Luton Town had done it we would still look at them with disdain - the fact that our nearest neighbours committed all these crimes just means more fuel is thrown at the fire.

 

There's a hope that some justice will be dished out on the pitch next month as it certainly hasn't been done in the courtroom - but we shall see.

You might ruin our Christmas - then we might ruin your season.

 

And as one who doesn't bother to dish out personal abuse, for many, Ho's street cred sailed long ago I'm afraid, so there won't be much nodding.

He doesn't even quote me now, I think he doesn't love me anymore.

[dubai_phil]

Yes, I wonder what Aviva pension holders would say to that, hmmm? Yet more pot calling the kettle black methinks....

 

Aviva had a mortgage on the Stadium.

 

SFC PLC met the payments for a number of years.

 

The payments made in those years equalled close to 75% of the total debt.

 

The CVA acceptance by Aviva was at a figure which meant that they did not show ANY loss on their books, except the interest they COULD have earnt. However, as they then bundled that loan into a series of Derivatives, they actually made money in selling that security so still turned a profit.

 

HTH

 

Oh and yes, the information is stored safely for FF for when he writes his book

[redkeith]

As I have said before, the diffrrence between the SFC and PFC admins is that were caught doing 23 mph in a 20mph zone, whilst the skates were caught doing 120 mph ( probably texting the fishmongers at the same time). Not quite the same, and not the same punishment in the courts. There are degrees of malpractice in everything.

 

We got off lightly for what happened, 10 points cost us the play offs, but they got off scot free as they were more than 9 points adrift at the bottom, so it didn't even cut the prize money from sky.

Oh, and for the record.

 

Aviva accepted the possibility of a lower figure in settlement of the Mortgage BEFORE Admin.

 

Just a point of note for PFC - a Mortgage is over a SET number of years (normally 25) so the total DEBT is calculated at a figure that reflects the number of years it is EXPECTED to run.

 

However, as most people who do NOT live in Caravans would understand, IF you ask to settle a Mortgage early - ie move to a new house or change to another company, you do not ACTUALLY owe the Interest for the years that you have not borrowed money.

 

So the Mortgage for 25 years was valued as being a total debt of X

 

To repay the Mortgage after say 5 years then that debt is reduced.

 

So do NOT come the couldn't afford the Mortgage bullsh1t. We went into admin unexpectedly because a "friend of an ex Director" met with our Bank Manager and sold him a dodgy deal, next day we went bust for a 4 grand cheque

You beat me to it, right down to his inability to differentiate between principle and principal. Just to assist him in future, perhaps he will recall as an aide memoire that the principals who ran his poxy club all lacked principles.

 

I totally agree that anybody who cannot make any distinction between a club going into administration for the sake of a mere few thousand £s and another going bust owing £130 million or so, must be a few sandwiches short of a picnic. He might as well bracket together somebody guilty of manslaughter with a serial killer, on the grounds that they both killed somebody.

Good analogies...Another helpful definition example would be 'The club in the principal position in the Championship is the one that has principles'

Maybe that's asking too much though on here?

 

That Corp gets abuse on here is down pretty much entirely to the style and manner of his posts. When things appear to be going well, or when he thinks he's got one up on us in some way, you'll see posts of sneering condescension and triumphalist braying. When things aren't so great, we either get narky petulance or, far more often, silence. I've only rarely see him attempt to debate without flinging out a few insults - and even then he's not actually much cop at debating anything, simply repeating the same point ad nauseam. Yes, there are those on here who'll hurl out abuse regardless, but in Corp's case the great majority of it is earned.

 

And if he spends a lot of time researching, then he certainly doesn't do that very well. Yesterday he produced a Land Registry entry, claiming it showed clearly that Portpin are no longer remotely involved in PFC or Fratton Park; unfortunately, one of the excerpts he posted shows quite clearly that Portpin hold a charge over Fratton Park. To add spice, Katalinic did a quick bit of online research which indicated a debenture held by Portpin over Fratton Park - the very thing Corp said he'd proved didn't exist. If I needed any serious research done, I'd ask my parents' dog before I asked Corp.

SPEND! More time with the missus while the kids are extracted from a jammed sorting machine in Madrid!

SAVE! Money, as the kids will be too sick for days to want to go on the latest gut-wrenching rollercoaster!

FEEL PRIDE! Knowing you've given your kids an adventure they'll never forget- assuming they still remember anything after having a half a ton of newly printed Drachma's dumped on top of them at the Athens airport sorting office!

To be fair, PFC123's goal scoring instincts were very good, but at the end of the day it was just a fat fingered late at night typo, that set up the chance (rather than a web fingered assassination of the English Language) and can easily be rectified with a quick edit if Puggy so wished hint hint

An old lady was crossing the car park at Fratton Park, loaded down with heavy shopping bags.

Child-mailer....Child-mailer? This is some sort of new service being introduced by Royal Mail, yes? Ok, I get it. Yes, I can see it now:

 

In fake American infomercial accent:

 

"New from the Post office- Going on holiday? Want to save money on expensive air fares? Want more time alone with the wife? Got kids?

 

If the answer is YES! to all of these, send your little darlings on holiday to Benidorm by post with: 'CHILD-MAILER!'

 

With easy, youth size zip-up pouches, your offspring will be hermetically sealed in a survival cell that will enable them to withstand all the thrills and spills of Europe's finest mail services, arriving safely* at your holiday destination a week** into your holiday, and at half the cost of a budget airline ticket!

 

SPEND! More time with the missus while the kids are extracted from a jammed sorting machine in Madrid!

SAVE! Money, as the kids will be too sick for days to want to go on the latest gut-wrenching rollercoaster!

FEEL PRIDE! Knowing you've given your kids an adventure they'll never forget- assuming they still remember anything after having a half a ton of newly printed Drachma's dumped on top of them at the Athens airport sorting office!

 

CHILD-MAILER: almost approved by the NSPCC!

 

*Safe arrival in Italy not guaranteed

**two weeks if holidaying in Greece

wow you picked up on a spelling mistake.Top marks to you.

Trying to compare our shame of going into admin and the reckless way you did, twice Lol although the first time was understandable as you had been down swimming with the fish around the sewer pipe for decades, and so had an unsustainable business model ooooh

Reiterated so that you can respond to one without a simple typo in it and dance around the playground crowing like a girl who has just managed to tell a tale on another and got her in to trouble...

It's not necessary to dig when the evidence is so blatantly visible that all but the thickest can see it....oh:rolleyes:

Yeah. Whatever. Zzzzzz.....

[scott_saints]

Yeah. Whatever. Zzzzzz.....

"Whatever", the sound of a lost argument.

[Colinjb]

Yeah. Whatever. Zzzzzz.....

 

Such an intelligent and articulate response.

 

It just goes to show, there is no point in trying to argue with a fool.

Enough loose change found down the back of the sofa to pay for a new manager yet ?

[pedg]

I must commend Cotterill on his attempts to help pompey's financial cause. Not only will pompey probably end up making money on the change in manager and paying the new manager less but also he is apparently going to take one of their high earners off their books and give them money for the privilege.

In the Championship, meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are keen to "raid" Portsmouth for Liam Lawrence. Forest's new manager, Steve Cotterill, knows Lawrence from his time at Fratton Park and is happy to spend £1.5m on the Republic of Ireland winger.

PMSL, fair play for him taking the opportunity to pounce, however it was quite obvious to me when reading it that it was a one off typo, with two letters very close to the keyboard...

 

pfc123s capitalised PRINCIPAL cock up, twice, was highly amusing and even more so that he came out with his bizzare response at 3am (3x hours after being mugged off).

 

Our resident skates have really left themselves wide open over the last phew days, with corp mixing up his land registry with the company registry, and pfc123 confirming he dosent have the slightest clue what 'principles' mean... this is no surpirse as it is like a disease down that way, spreading from the doors of nottarf and emanating across portsea, the distinct lack of principles is there for all to see.

 

As for the laughable comparisons, I dont think we need to go over this one again, and Doobai Phil has kindly pointed out the financials to blow that bonkers argument out of the water...

 

for the record, I was ashamed that our club went into administration but also so proud to see the city rally together, doing what we could to support the club, personified by our local businessman ex director Leon Crouch making a substantial personal investment to enable the club to continue trading, paying our taxes, paying our staff et al... sure it can be argued Leon was part of the cause of our decline, but at least a company director acted with such honour.

 

and for that matter, fair play to Rupert for trying to slash the costs, wiping millions in just one year off of our debts, thats a morally and ethically decent honest approach (even if he had a vested interest as a shareholder)...

 

but again, we should not be drawn into this, this magnificent thread is about the painful decline of the skates!

 

As a taxpayer, I want blood here, this club forced the closure of an entire unit of QA hospital due to its robbery of the public purse, I dread to think how many lives have been lost as a result of the skates £37m defaulting - and thats before the 6-year criminal investigation into Redknapp, Milan and Peter... and not even considering the blood money of the child-mailer

 

Dirty skates, you are out of your depth here, we have a greater understanding of your terminally ill club than you ever will...

 

as for Corp "obviously spends a lot of time researching his evidence"... PMSL

Three times, I think you'll find! the fourth due anytime soon!!!!

The sound of a lost argument.
