We should have been allowed to fold as we were bankrupt and football does not make any money.

I must have missed us being subsidised by the government? When did that happen?

It's a mistake he makes in almost every post he ever writes. It's not a surprise that most of what follows is nonsense.

We were allowed to fold Bazza, but luckily ML listened to Nicola Cortese rather than you and decided that you could in fact make money out of football.

 

I don't really understand this thread Bazza, if you're trying to equate a football club with nationalised industries perhaps you could point me in the direction of any football clubs that the state owns?

 

I can see it now in Bazza land, the man from Whitehall deciding on our signings, and you moan about Les Reed.

Well free enterprise, should we have been allowed to have gone to the wall?

We were a good example of free enterprise. We went bust, someone saw an opportunity and bought the assets. Actually it should appeal to your sense of fairness as ML was far more generous to the creditors than he needed to be.

Doesn't make sense.

We were "allowed" to go to the wall.

 

We were purchased by a private buyer.

 

What's your point?

[Barry Sanchez]

We are not a viable business, we are being subsidised, why couldn't we subsidise an industry?

If you can find a Swiss billionaire to take on the railways then fill your boots. You will, however, upset Pap because another British company will have fallen into foreign hands.

[Barry Sanchez]

So the poor man of Europe us still that? So you agree that subsidy can and should happen?

[CB Saint]

Not what I said. I was countering the ridulous notion that you could compare a football club funded by a private individual to a state subsidised industry. Why do you think that there are similarities?

So, if I understand the beliefs of the posters on this forum, Saints and other clubs are fully justified in being over funded by mega rich backers but Pompey illegally bought their recent FA cup bids and other successes?

 

Just checking

Spud had to answer the call of nature (something about a dodgy Curry...... Didn't catch the rest) , so he gave me the keys and codes as Phil is out on the Golf Course.

Yes it should be very easy to understand, even for the thickest and most deluded of skates. How does "over-funded" work? Sounds the opposite of the "under-funded" skate model.

.... Uhm.... fine line between 'underwriting a failing business to keep it afloat - usually characterised by NO progress or improvement and often continuing failure, but kept alive by rich benefactors..... and what ML/NC have done - INVESTMENT, characterised by massive improvements in efficiencty, growth and longer term success as well as an increase in value of the assett. Sanchez fails to diffrentiate between them... and thus fails in his attempt to WUM... LOL

I think you're on the wrong thread... you really can't miss the one I think you should be on... it's the small one called 'Pompey Takeover Saga'...

Merely saying the coal mines were allowed to die, we are a business and have been underpinned by an artificial source, didn't we also vote against the introduction of financial fair play?
