Brussels Saint Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 If they are paying Utaka £80k a week as reported , and bearing in mind that a year or 2 ago their wage bill was reported as being the 4th highest in the premiership, I doubt that £1.6million will even cover a month's wages. £1.6 million for a month is approx £400k a week = only 5 Utakas. Or to put it another way, squad of 40(?), £1.6 million a month = average wage of 'only' £10k a week, and they are clearly paying way above that. And that ignores all other monthly costs such as Storrie's £2 million a year salary, interest on all those 'short term loans', etc. Which of course is both how they 'bought' the FA cup and stayed in the premiership, and also why they are skint. K. I'm pretty sure I read they need to find 3 million each month to pay the players. ........... That's quite a lot...........
pfc123 Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 The whole English Premier League is sick The majority of players on the park are Foreign, a lot of Managers are Foreign, and a lot of Clubs are Foreign owned, mainly by people that use the Football Club to launder debts etc. ( just ask Liverpool and Man Utd ) As I've said before, the easiest job in Football is to manage the England Team, because there are not that many ENGLISH players to chose from in the Premier League, and the situation will only get worse RIP ENGLISH Football IMHO and your english owner is.......?
pfc123 Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Amazing, a "skate" who actually paid £5 to refute whatever we may say about them,unless you're Tony Lynam of course. Yes, good value for a bit of banter now and again.....
Matthew Le God Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Yes, good value for a bit of banter now and again..... It's not good value for you... pfc123 = Posts Per Day: 0.39 You may as well have not paid with a post ratio like that. You can post up to 3 per day for free, yet you paid £5 for 0.39 posts per day!
Bobbyboy Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Just heard their transfer embargo lifted (BBC sport website headline, no link yet). Bummer.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Just heard their transfer embargo lifted (BBC sport website headline, no link yet). Bummer. Will just mean that they can now sell players and replace them with cheaper ones. Kaboul and Belhadj can be sold and they will loan in a cheap replacement to keep the numbers up.
sussexsaint Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 Ah I didn't get that the transfer embargo meant they couldn't sell - perhaps they have been allowed to have it lifted so that they can raise funds then

But today he'd have posted his 3 times already and if he gets slagged off (not that it happens on this forum very often:cool:) he'd have to wait until tomorrow to reply,which is fairly annoying if you have something to say that really can't wait..or so you think anyway.£5 really isn't that much anyway.

Good point Window. How much abuse could I get in a 'me love you long time' type parlour for a fiver? I can get all the sadism I want on here from the comfort of me own home!

I would have thought paying £5 to join a forum where you are certain to suffer a certain amount of (friendly) abuse could only be described as masochism. Still as C P Snow's character Lewis Elliot used to say, forget you're tired, forget you don't want to, just be there.
derry Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 They will only be allowed to sign loans or free transfers, so it looks like it is only a conditional lifting of the embargo.
Kingsland Red Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 (edited) With the embargo lifted it would be a foolish club CEO allowing his club to sell players to Pompey without getting the full payment before the HMRC winding up order.The Udinese experience must have warned the wider world about their cashflow, or lack of. EDIT: Embargo is partially lifted - they can only sign free transfers and loans which intimates that the EPL dont trust them ! Edited 26 January, 2010 by Kingsland Red
lumpofshipperley Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 They are probably worse off than we were. The banks pulled the plug when they knew our cash flow was poor and at the height of the financial problems. They've been pulled with reasonable cash flows and not a real clue as to why.
St.Thomas7 Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 A fishy friend of mine seems to think they will be sorted by the end of the week with new owners... I just don't get it... who would buy that!??! Its like paying £50 for a used losing lottery ticket. :-S

ottery st mary Posted 26 January, 2010 Posted 26 January, 2010 What Gadaffi's son ...yeah right. This promise of new owner:rolleyes: ..will allow the announcement of a delay in wages..
Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 (edited) The official Pompey website isn't working. Rumour has it that they haven't paid the company that runs it so they have taken it down. http://www.fansonline.net/portsmouth/article.php?id=1295 Official site = http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/ Also it is now three different parties on the winding order, so not just HMRC.

saint lard Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 And they cant find a couple of grand for the training academy in Gurensey to play on pitches as the rental fees have not been paid also.

Just confirmed on SSN. They haven't paid the company that runs it!
JRM Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Just confirmed on SSN. They haven't paid the company that runs it! Can someone email / text SSN and ask them how the f*ck can they not have a transfer embargo anymore? Disgrace to football. Just hoping tomorrow will pass with no wages paid again and the exodus begins with players walking out.
PaulSaint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 This title needs amending, sureley theres more than enough evidence to prove its Pompey!!!!!!!!
Matthew Le God Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Can't afford a £2k bill. Think of the poor children of Guernsey! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8484902.stm
derry Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 The company that leases them the electronic pitchside advertising has pulled the plug on it and shut it down. There was no pitchside advertising during the West Ham game.
Blandford saint Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 Beats me how they can sign loan players but Bournemouth aren't allowed. Bournemouth have paid up their tax bill and reckon they will be debt -free in the summer. Obviously Premier League clubs operate under less restrictive rules.
buctootim Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 The company that leases them the electronic pitchside advertising has pulled the plug on it and shut it down. There was no pitchside advertising during the West Ham game. That makes no sense tho. Surely the ad revenue must exceed the cost of the equipment?
jam Posted 28 January, 2010 Posted 28 January, 2010 (edited) That makes no sense tho. Surely the ad revenue must exceed the cost of the equipment? Probably does but I doubt they can simply hive off that income and make sure the leasing company get paid... (not that I know much about it). Edited 28 January, 2010 by jam I actually read buctootim's post correctly second time around.....

sidthesquid Posted 30 January, 2010 Posted 30 January, 2010 Could we now close this thread and transfer the posts to the main thread. After all, I think the original question has probably been answered by now....
lordswoodsaints Posted 1 February, 2010 Author Posted 1 February, 2010 (edited) I see the caterers at the training ground havnt been paid and have removed their kitchen and left,also the security huts have been repoed......not long now before the premier league have to get off the fence.
