dubai_phil Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 And what does that mean in English... The document details the firm recorded a net loss total of $2,439,726, with total assets accumulating to $6,377 from January 1, 2007, to September 30, 2010. The firm, which Mr Cala describes as a ‘dormant’ company, changed from Magnolia Foods Inc from January 1, 2007, to concentrate on developing an underwater resort and casino. The report details the firm recorded an accumulated deficit of $11,886,789 and $2,439,726 during its development stage, compared to $11,861,259 of additional paid-in capital. Mr Cala said: ‘The losses are credits to be used against future profits. Cala corp has assets of $6,733 But it is all OK because his losses are an asset..... How neat is that? Make a load of loses then go buy a football club that makes losses by using the losses you made...

sidthesquid Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 So you believe Cala when he says we're paying 8 players £31K a week? Without too much thought, the following must all be on £20k+ (& some we know are on a lot more) - Halford, Ben Haim,Mokoena, Lawrence, Mullins, Norris, Kitson, Rocha, Varney & Kanu. So if you chuck in NI, bonuses, image rights & all the other bits, an average of £20K basic is probably not far off £30k to the club for 8 of the above.

How are the mouth frothers on POL doing with the ousting and hanging of our favourite Portsmouth News reporter? Considering the problems with Cotteril refusing to play players like Hughes etc as they would roll over new bonkers contracts, and TBH still pocketing his 36-40k PW he may not be wide of the mark! You dont become the 2nd Highest Spenders in the League without incurring big wage costs, outbidding Ipswich on wages for their captain etc... plus the season before you enjoyed the Most Expensive XI in the leagues... so again, it would not surprise me. Still, it wont be a problem with Cala Corp, he will be switching the lights out everynight, is giving you his heart, and promising to decimate your playing squad - maybe you will finally have a sensible owner, even if he is utterly bonkers! ... Even Matt Slater & his buddies are having a laugh about Cala's assets being losses ...PMSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 Clotterill quoted in the paper today talking about Forest "Can I sort it out? I had a similar thing at Portsmouth last season, didn't have enough players, but signed 3 or 4 and had a break in the sunshine, and kept us up". The interesting thing is, he then went on to say "I dont have the scope to do that at this club". Forest can't afford 3 or 4 players or a break in the sunshine, so dont sign them or go. Those cheating ****s down the road, dont care, they just do it anyway and stayed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmel Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 THE man who could become Pompey’s new owner this week says he is concerned with how much some players are earning. Sicilian American businessman Joseph Cala, who revealed to The News his intentions to take over at Fratton Park, claims there are eight squad players between them earning a total of £1.1m a month. He told The News he will be ‘fiscally responsible’ if he takes over at Fratton Park this week. Mr Cala said: ‘I am shocked by what has been left at the club. It’s like someone is drunk at the bar and the bar man gives him more drinks. ‘The club is in trouble because they spent too much. You have to spend what you have. ‘It’s not sport, it’s gambling. ‘Everyone needs to stop thinking about money because that’s why clubs are going broke. ‘I am going to spend money wisely. I don’t want to own a club because I am going to pay £2m for a player worth £200,000 just to show off. ‘If someone wants to show off they should go to Las Vegas.’ http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/cala_concerned_over_pompey_players_salaries_1_3431093 Pay the Fiver Rallyboy, your work / style is getting World recognition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 strange for Cala to pick a figure out of the air in terms of 8 players and £1.1m a month wages. He either has seen the books or Chinny has provided that information to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you chuck in NI, bonuses, image rights & all the other bits, an average of £20K basic is probably not far off £30k to the club for 8 of the above. TBH, Mokoena and Mullins will all be on Premiership wages. The latter signed by Tony Adams before relegation was on the horizon. Whether TBH reduced his terms in the summer is unknown, but he certainly removed the new contract if he plays X number of games. He might have done that to get games. Maybe he was offered a rise, who knows? Kitson and Lawarence wages were £44k supposedly. That was reported on here, whether true or not I don't know. Norris will be on at least £20k a week for sure. He wouldn't have left Ipswich unless he got a pay rise and he was on about £15k a week there. Halford certainly wouldn't have joined Premiership Wolves (for £2m) for less than £20k a week and he wouldn't have left for less either. Take your pick from Hermann, Halford, Kanu, Varney and Rocha for your last big earner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I sell the shares that made a loss in the same tax year tax man wants nowt. Keeping a loss making set of shares to offset a profitable year is a good plan.

They will not be paying the wages with tax credits FROM AMERICA They will not be servicing the CVA payments shortly with tax credits The whole point is that poopey are awash in a million derivaties of loan notes options and bonds. They're like a City Trader who bought as the market went south. PAPER they have a plenty Cala Corp ain't got no cash assets. His tax credits are ONLY of any value to someone who needs to reduce their tax payments - unfortunately for poopey they don't pay HMRC (and if they DID - they pay in the UK, not America) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The provision of the PFCTV service is outsourced to a separate company, Portsmouth LiveTV, which has been unable to fulfil its obligations to provide a service. We understand this is because they have run into financial difficulties. This includes debts to Portsmouth Football Club. We are very sorry for the loss of PFCTV and are currently working on building a replacement Pompey video and matchday commentary service, run in-house to give supporters the quality of coverage they deserve. We acknowledge that over the past few weeks subscribers have not been given the service that their subscription warrants and as a result we plan a complimentary introductory offer to those existing subscribers who sign up to the new service. In the interim we will be adding additional, free-to-access content on our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/officialpfc/ For those of you who pay a monthly subscription to PFCTV, you may wish to consider contacting your bank/credit card company to cancel your direct debit. For those who have paid an annual subscription to PFCTV, we will do all we can to assist you in recovering your monies.

rallyboy Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 this hilariously drawn-out tale of delusion and stupidity is starting to have a dark feeling to it, a sort of climatic, last chopper out of the last chance saloon, terminal edge about it... If they are approaching the end of this five year train crash, who is most to blame? Storrie and Redknapp for living a crazy dream? Mandaric for overspending to get out of the championship and setting the benchmark? Football itself for being unrealistic and encouraging debt? Mandaric for selling to unsuitable owners? The arms dealer for pretending he didn't own the club so he could clean money? The deluded fans for ignoring the alarm bells and behaving like mentally-scarred abuse victims by welcoming any dubious stranger who showed them affection? AA for lining up unsuitable owners? AA for lining up owners that didn't exist? Chanrai for taking advantage of an injured business in need of loans? Three times. The Russians for turning out to be linked to criminal activity when all we knew about them prior to them buying was that they were linked to criminal activity? The football authorities for allowing dodgy owners in? Lampitt for continuing to overspend money he knew they would never have? They all have their part to play and despite the blatant mistakes made by Lampitt, AA, Chanrai and some minor characters I would imagine the business was terminally damaged around the time that Mandaric sold. No clean owners could be found at that point and massive amounts of arms cash was needed to stabilise the club. When it became apparent that the house built on sand was actually a rickety shed built on a bloody heap of children's amputated limbs there was no way back. The last two or three years have been mainly about trying to sell a wheezy tortoise with a gammy leg as a racehorse, so if we were looking at who was responsible for this farce I would suggest that perhaps Mandaric, Storrie and Redknapp started the ball rolling, and it hasn't stopped yet. That trio might be in court for tax offences related to the club but IMO they should be in court for damage to the club, it started on their watch. In may be over soon, it may not, but in all fairness the club won't be lost this year because of the appalling decisions by Lampitt and AA, it was fatally damaged several years back, but no one would admit it. And please don't tell me that all was well until the child-maimer's money was suddenly frozen, the train was clearly de-railed before that. If you get in bed with arms dealers or sharks, don't moan when you get bitten or shot. The last couple of years has seen a variety of fire-fighting methods to try and save the business, but idiotic ones at every turn - quality over quantity caused massive damage, and when a lunatic like Cala points out the wages problem you know it was a stupid plan. Cala could be the final nail in the coffin, he's clearly a potless fantasist and as he appears to be mentally ill I would feel uncomfortable laughing at him. Briefly.
