rallyboy Posted 17 December, 2009 Share Posted 17 December, 2009 well it appears that they have helped push Watford to the brink - tonight they seem resigned to administration. If this is the case, hopefully the knock on effect from one of Mr Fry's colleagues calling in debt will be the dominoe that brings the Fratton house of cards crashing down.

rallyboy Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 That is hilarious, this is well beyond a plausible comedy now, it's gone into ludircous farce.

Crab Lungs Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 Firstly, this is so funny and I wish it could go on forever - however, at some point they are going to go 'pop' That said, I am concerned about the silence from the Premier League over not only this, but EVERYTHING that has and is happening at Portsmouth... are they just hoping they go down so that the Football League can deal with them?

If they need to sell then it'll be from their better but smaller pool of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 the real gem is that this development highlighted by The Sun must have shot to bits any hope of refinancing. 'Hi, I'm a serial fraudster with many convictions, I'm representing a company on the brink of implosion, can we have lots of your money please with no chance of a return or even repayment as we have no real income, and we only need your cash because someone in the office has already stolen the other £100M we had'.

hypochondriac Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 My favourite pompey fan quote of the day from their messageboard: If a buyer can no tbe found, then the PL/FA or Uefa should step in and take control and help sort the financial mess and find a buyer. If they let a club such as ours go out of business it could see the pack of cards come crashing down. LMFAO. What planet do they live on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amesbury Saint Posted 18 December, 2009 Share Posted 18 December, 2009 given how long this has been going on for, I am resigned to the fact that they will survive both as a club and in the premiership. 8 wins in the league will mean they will stay up.

Agree totally think it goes back to lovable Harry and what a fabulous traditional club pompey is, plus of course not wanting any embarrasment on the PL, I think the PL would be very happy to see PFC get relagated asap. Watfords plight does not help anyone but perhaps teams should be more careful who they do business with in the future, I for one hope they get sorted thats Watford not PFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 19 December, 2009 Share Posted 19 December, 2009 not sure they will go bust- if so would it not have happened by now? That's my take on it as well. Regardless of how much they are in debt, the new guy bought out fahim for over 20 million (If the reports are right) and have borrowed another 20 on top of that. Nobody just walks away from that sort of money, so they will keep begging and borrowing and bank on them staying up. If they go down, it could be a different story, as they will find it harder to raise any capital. I can't see any players wantintg to go there (Even if the transfer ban is lifted) and clubs selling will want their money up front. It will come down to whether they stay up or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
