saint si Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 That's a slightly disingenous headline: "No points loss verdict for Pompey" The word 'verdict' suggests a someone conclusive decision I think they mean "No verdict on points loss" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporate Ho Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 Actually, I think you'll find it's not. For a start, it won't cover the CVA (you have 2 £8m payouts left), secondly all that was ever said was it "should" cover the CVA,i's never been said that the money is ringfenced (If anythign shoudl happen it will however be ringfenced by teh FA for football creditors)... unfortunatly, now you have no cash, your football debts will have to be paid straight out of the parachute payments by the FA , to the lcubs you owe (I think you have some staged payments due in January and June). 1. The CVA is for £16.5m I believe so if we have two staged payments of £8m to come then it's pretty much covered, wouldn't you say? 2. The football creditors have all been paid by the money already paid out in parachute payments Question, on the subject of the monies owed below £2000 or £2500, i forget the exact amount. now was there a verbal agreement in the public domain that Chinny would pay these out of his own funds. now as he has not, cant these people now take him to court to get the money back. A good point, one that most on here forget in their whining about Pompey. Chainrai promised to pay these people and then reneged on the deal. the remaining parachute money is going nowhere near the CVA, as pointed out it's clearing the massive football creditor bill. You are obviously one of the sharper members of the few as you try and debate, but don't try and pretend that either cup run was legal. 1. The "massive football creditors bill" has already been paid from the parachute payments 2. Our cup win in 2008 wasn't illegal. It may have been funded by bank loans but if that's illegal then a good 75% of PL clubs are operating illegally. Our debts at that time, as I've posted time and time again were less than many other clubs in the PL. The issue started when Standard Bank called the loans in overnight which would have been a problem for 99% of clubs. We won the cup because we rode our luck against United and because of a set of freak results elsewhere that saw only NPC clubs left with us by the semi's. The fact you guys can't accept that says more about your jealousy and resentment than I ever could. I thought that you were advanced some £8M of that just to see you through the season, IIRC ? Also, wasn't some of it ring-fenced for 'football creditors'? It was £6m IIRC which left us with £42m to come. There was £22m of football debt so that leaves £20m to pay the CVA plus change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 but Man Utd owe more than we do, it's not fair. I seem to remember us trying to explain the difference about 900 pages ago. We obviously failed. I think one or two of these arguments have run out of legs, Ho won't accept the fact that the club couldn't afford the cup final team that they failed to pay, and the rest of us are fed up trying to explain it. Call me Sherlock but the clue was that they had to join a winding up order to get their cup final money. And its not that they haven't come close to servicing the debt, it's that they haven't even tried! Even the latest criminal ignored the debt and chucked money into the black hole of transfers and salaries. The latest regime has clearly just done more damage, but Liam Lawrence says everything is okay, so hurrah for the russians and the loan shark! But no fear, the magical ever growing parachute payments will cover all woes and make 2012 a fluffy trouble-free place.

holepuncture Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 But now? We're absolutely sick and tired of your miserable bleating and whining about how life isn't fair On the subject of bleating and fairness... how did the big protest outside the Football League HQ go? Did other club supporters come along to support poor little charity defrauding plucky pompey? Out in town with 2x WHU, 1x QPR (ex-ref), 1x Chelski and 1x fellow Saint last night... Chelski is a plastic Prawn Sarnie JCL wannabe armchair fanboy, so forget about him for a moment. QPR mate mentioned poopey, everyone was well aware of Pompeys current criminal behaviour and they all thought they would 'get away with it'... QPR believed the holding company rules were tightened up after our SLH PLC/SFC so they may get caught out - but ultimately he thought they would blag it as they are plucky... I explained the toxic financial situation (Chinny £17m, Vladdy £11m, Gaddy £5m, CVA £17m) and so that whatever happens now is irrelevant as the will not be able to clear that debt, no way, no chance... they will suffer as a result for an entire generation. One of the WHU was amazed when I told them pompey hadnt paid a single penny towards the debt, from when the became the first premier league club in the leagues history to fall into insolvency... they thought all the debt had been paid, I guess you would think that if you are not as informed as us lot... I dont know about Stockport Countys administration situation for example. But, what was very clear, they were all well aware of pompeys past, present, and future problems; and now they are a little more informed and can spread the good word. a points deduction would only speed up this terminal illness so either way it is Catch-22 for us. If you want them dead and buried ASAP then the points would be good for this year, if you want a slow lingering decline then perhaps if they could defer them to next year... the legacy of the last few years is going to create a lifetime of despair for the skate they will serve a sentence as long as life murder for what they have done and rightly so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 Ok, two points- Firstly, don't try playing the 'you were lucky to win it' card. No-one who goes away to Man U and wins is 'lucky'. Secondly, yeah we're severly ****ed off and embarrassed at the way the club has been run and passed from one, at best, hard-nosed businessman to another. We all used to agee that in the back of our minds we were nervous about relying on Gaydamak. We knew damn well it was risky to spend big money on the team rather than something more permanent like a decent new stadium. The fatalistic conclusion we used to always come to: 'Enjoy it and hope it doesn't all come crashing down around us', and **** it, we did enjoy it. So yeah, we were embarrassed when it went tits up, charities didn't get paid etc etc, sure we were embarrassed. But now? We're absolutely sick and tired of your miserable bleating and whining about how life isn't fair, that we 'cheated', that we're all so thick- plus a new one today- we're now apparently 'vermin' too. I can see why many many Pompey fans just dont care what other people think of us anymore. Play up Pompey...... Really? Why are you on this website so much then?

Dark Munster Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 The problem with the above is that you want us to admit that winning the cup was 'cheating' because it will make you feel better, and that it will somehow expunge the whole nightmare for you. The reality is that we were trading solvently with Gaydamaks backing up until the crash of October 2008. We won the cup in May, five months earlier. WE-WERE-NOT-CHEATING. Nothing any of you can say alters that fact, and the fact that our name will be for ever more on there as winners in 2008. GET USED TO IT. Cue yet more immature 'Thick skate' abuse..... Using your "logic" Bernie Madoff was also not insolvent, until his corrupt setup similarly collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football creditors have all been paid by the money already paid out in parachute payments It was £6m IIRC which left us with £42m to come. There was £22m of football debt so that leaves £20m to pay the CVA plus change 1. You were forwarded £11m by the prem to see you through until relegation. 2. Can you post ANY EVIDENCE that all football creditors have been fully paid up? Such as, te £1m outsatanding to Sol, for example. 3. You admit that you have 2 x £8m paracute payments to come (which will really probably be 4 x 4m payments). Do you REALLY believe these will be used to pay the CVA? I personally doubt it! Of course, lets not foret that te CVA is MORE THAN £16m anyway. Were will te rest of the money come from? And, how will you manage to pay any other bills, wages, etc?

I have no doubts that some would defend our club if we had done the same, but the decent fair minded fans would hold their hands up and 'Yep, fair play we did cheat, nothing I could really do about it, but i did have a good time. Sorry but we had people who played the system and won' As an aside , as i was typing this a Swindon fan walked in and we talked about Pompeys cheating, he said he was sick of hearing about poor old Pompey and what their fans have to put up with.

"I said to them just two minutes before they went out that there is no difference - the pitch is the same size, the grass is green and you play against 11 men. The only difference is that you get cheered at home and booed away. To get the win was great for us. "Going into injury time you don't want to lose the game and getting the clean sheet was my main focus. "We are just trying to stay focused on what happens on the pitch rather than off it. I said the other week, and I was half serious, that it helps having a couple of players who aren't the brightest because they can't think about it." Priceless!

Chin Strain Posted 10 December, 2011 Share Posted 10 December, 2011 (edited) One other thing for Ho Ho Ho to dwell on. Was it not Mr Henry Redknapp (correct me if I'm wrong) who said after the event that Poopey 'could not afford to win the FA Cup because they didn't have the money to pay the win bonuses'?? All in the contracts designed by...whom?!?!! No, David James http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8612358.stm Edited 10 December, 2011 by Chin Strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they are severing ties with CSI, pompeys holding company won't have much else left soon other than the skate cheats... Inextricably linked ASAP Had a couple of skates last night, one said 'it's like we've got a giant balloon saying "launder cash here in 24hours" flying over fratton'... Fair play to him he accepted the disgrace that they are and he was genuinely ashamed... The other one (his son) started to bleat FAPP but I stopped that one in it's tracks straight away... Really like the autotrader analogy from the Brighton fans quoted above, very good. And great news about the Reading fan SSN chap, welcome to the hub of information on corrupt Pompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidthesquid Posted 11 December, 2011 Share Posted 11 December, 2011 http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?221654-FANS-United-for-Pompey Having read their comments, the Brighton fans most definitely get it. I had to check a couple of comments to see if they were TSW stalwarts in disguise, but they were long-standing posters. I'm sure someone (Ho perhaps?) has been on here assuring us that it only our paranoid little minds, twisted with bitterness and envy, that saw Pompey as the disgrace they are, not the whole of football. The Seagull fans have gone up in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 11 December, 2011 Share Posted 11 December, 2011 I had to laugh last night when I saw Cotterill explaining how his side had dominated their 4th consecutive defeat and were the better team. Antonov should have been charged with defrauding Notts Forest, selling them a manager that wasn't fit for purpose. That comedy deal might be the bright point of their season - unless we can't get Davis fit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotterill's teams are ALWAYS the better side, ALWAYS dominate the opposition and are ALWAYS really unlucky. I actively look forward to his post-match comments - even now.

Bearsy Posted 11 December, 2011 Share Posted 11 December, 2011 I'm not worried about the situation affecting the players because fortunately they're all too thick to understand it. I'm starting to like this guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest's most famous supporter (a golfer from Worksop) tweeted last night about SC (in a PC way) honeymoon over etc etc In the bar this evening he was a bit more accurate when I asked him - basically was WTF is he on? WTF are his press conferences all about? can't believe we've found another disaster, how the hell did you lot find NA & we got SC? Oh and PLEASE it wasn't an SSN reporter it was a Sky SPORTS tater who also does footie from time to time, he has the link to here And I will finish my weekend of distraction with a well done to Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke. Historic achievement, even managed to come close to winning down here, yet STILL found time to stand all the guys working with him all weekend a case. Of Moet. Total Class. Oh & he has EARNT more from winnings, appearance money & sponsorship ALONE than poopey have borrowed again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
