RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 SSN - Portsmouth have been placed under a transfer embargo for apparently failing to pay up instalments on past transfers - Another step towards complete disaster?
St Marco Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I imagine the PL did it because they owe a lot of people money and after having 3 owners in over a month they have yet to pay those people. What i want to know is if they continue to not pay people then why are they not in admin? If they are defaulting on their loans/commitments then they must be near to going bankrupt. The whole thing stinks.

Arizona Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 It's a shame for them because Eugene Bopp would have turned their season around.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 October, 2009 Author Posted 28 October, 2009 I guess the most probable explanation as to why they aren't in admin is that they are a Premier League club. It seems the PL governing bodies and the FA just won't let a PL team go into admin, you look at the debts of United for example, they are obscene, but they won't be going into admin soon. I think the final nail in the coffin will be when Pompey get relegated, but until then I forsee more embargoes and let offs by the FA, whilst dodgy Arabian businessmen toy with the club and look to make a "quick profit" from it.
Eastcowzer Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Perhaps they should consider appointing Rupert to sort the finances out Storrie & Lowe. What a 'dream', (or nightmare) team.

They are not in administration because the creditors have not yet pulled the plug and called in their loans. The Premier League can help by trying to get creditors to give Pompey more time but they can't stop it happening if the creditors decide to cut their losses. Man United will not be going into administration despite the size of their debt because they are servicing it and are not defaulting on repayments. How much a business owes has nothing to do with it - it is failure to meet repayments which opens up the possibility of administration.

I guess Pompey don't have the same sort of revenue United brings in through sponsorship and merchandising. Poor old Pompey
hamster Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 I have a friend who referees. He reckons that he is owed about £50 for reffing a youth game for them.
saintwarwick Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 Perhaps they should consider appointing Rupert to sort the finances out Storrie & Lowe. What a 'dream', (or nightmare) team. Lowe didn't leave us in the sh1t financially when he was ousted hth. Be interesting to see how many pompey players will have to leave in the transfer window leaving them with a reserve squad for the remainder of the season. It just gets better
hamster Posted 28 October, 2009 Posted 28 October, 2009 8/15 for the drop now Glad I got my tenner on early.
