Whitey Grandad Posted 20 December, 2009 Share Posted 20 December, 2009 The finances are obviously your problem PES. I would guess that you need around £100m to see you through the next season.

Tac-tics Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 Something is deffinately going on, the staff that have worked for the FA community scheme that are on Pompey's books got made redundant two weeks or so ago. Some company cars collected too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 To be Fair ESB, Pompey started the season with 14 senior players, despite this we've played well all season, we lost our first 7 games, where we should of picked up at least 5 points, we got none. Since then our form is not that of a relegated team and player for player we are better than at least 4-5 teams in our division and playing with a spirit which belies the financial chaos that surrounds our twice 'not paid on time' players. Now for the part you will like. Everything could be made worse with the possibly impeding january sales. BUT if we can keep our squad together, avoid rotten luck with injuries and avoid some kind of point deduction, we can see off the loss of a few key players to the ANC AND stay up, but as you'll point out its a BIG If. However for the record I feel quite positive! Remaining positive will be your mainstay in getting through this. You realise that from the outside things do seem very bad down there. It's like almost every day there's a new revelation about somebody or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like almost every day there's a new revelation about somebody or something. Yep cant argue with that ESB, things look awful and in truth, behind the scenes things are awful. But purely on a playing front, because after all, that is what it's all about first and foremost, Pompey fans and Saints fans are in for a very exciting new year, though for very different reasons! I'm actually really enjoying it, though maybe burying my head in the sand a little? But exactly what can I do anyway, if i'm paying for it, I might as well try and take some positives from it, including a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory over Liverpool!

Christ Grandad, CCC or League one means instant Bankrupcy, we have no choice but to fight to stay in the premier league and hope we can get the embago lifted to bing in a couple of loans whilst hanging onto what we've got. If we can do that then we have a chance, and the opportunity to get our hands on another wad of Premier League money. If we don't, it's curtains, there will be no silver lining like their has been for Saints, still, I'm sure you'd agree, It just wouldn't be Pompey any other way, all or nothing, **** or bust!

Yes, I suppose all you have in the way of assets is the Premier League status It's not like you have a modern stadium or state-of-the-art training facilities so if there are any other billionaires out there who fancy a punt they would probably look elsewhere. It's a problem for all the clubs like yours. Spend the money on infrastucture or spend on players. Do the former and you're likely to get relegated (like us) or do the latter and you still might get relegated. Enjoy what little victories come your way and try to have a good Christmas.

I think you're right PES. We struggled to sell the club with our facilities. With yours, and a couple of creditors who are not about to kiss goodbye to what's owed to them, you'll be looking at finding someone with at least £10m to buy the club from the administrators. Then they'll have to find another £50m (probably nearer £75m) minimum to get the club to the sort of standards, facilities wise, that we have.

rallyboy Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 'I have done it before with both Sulaiman Al Fahim and then Ali being brought on board' said Mr Storrie... You certainly have Peter, keep up the good work bringing quality businessmen to the table, especially as you are on £1.3M a year and you were at the helm when the directors fees trebled while the income went through the floor. Go on, have another loan, you know you want to, and I guess it's wages week again - with the added worry of a flipping win bonus! Has Sol been paid for lifting the cup yet? It would be a bit much to go on about it when you haven't even paid the poor bloke. The soap goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 21 December, 2009 Share Posted 21 December, 2009 "Speak to anyone in the world and they know all about Pompey winning the FA Cup" I'm not sure that's true mr story teller "There are also not many clubs at our level looking for investment at this moment in time" I'm not sure that's true either mr story teller the Blues represent a prized opportunity for foreign money men to become involved in what is widely regarded as the best league in the world :D:D What exactly would they be investing in. There is no infrastructure, no ground, cobbled together squad, huge debts, split board and shareholders, likely to be relegated and seen as a joke by the rest of the footballing world. Any money raised would go to pay off sins of the past, so unless hes' flogging equity (Or the whole club again) what is there to invest in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golactico Posted 22 December, 2009 Share Posted 22 December, 2009 I noticed that Radio Solent mentioned during their Sports bulletins yesterday that tickets for Pompey’s cup game against Coventry are now on sale – they even gave prices. I may be wrong, but isn’t that unusual for a game like this? OK if it was Man U or another game where there might be strong demand, but Coventry in the 3rd round of the cup? One theory might be that someone at Pompey has said to Solent ‘look guys, we are in such trouble in January that even a few thousand on the gate for the cup game might keep us afloat for a bit longer – can you do what you can for us to shift a few more tickets?’ Yes, I know I’m probably seeing something that isn’t there, but I’ve come to rely on my daily ’Pompey in the poo’ story.
