Portsmouth Rumour

[Hazzman]

I thought Hinckley had paid their tax bill and things are ok now.
Are they due in court over something else?

No, Mr.Downes might be though. Hinckley have paid the tax bill but still have outstanding debts with other parties. However, it must be at a healthy level cos they have been allowed to sign players again.

no doubt in a week they'll be given even more time etc.

 

[Motown Fox]

Portsmouth were asking for 28 days, and they've got 90 minutes.

Doesn't look good at all.

Well in most 90 minutes this season they have failed so it certainly doesn't look very good. Even their Cup victory over Coventry was in extra time!

I think back to the play off game at their place and the ensuing scrapping after the game. Randomly attacking women and young kids and I think good riddance to the interbred sailor shagging scum.

every club has fans that dont tow the line, so does that mean every club who are in this mess should be written off????

and i meant it that every club has horrible fans hence my question - simples :icon_bigg

 

[lazzer]

If you read my post again (slowly) i said good riddance which actually means I wouldnt miss them because i dont like them. What I didnt say was any clubs with naughty fans should be written off?
Are your oestregen levels up love ?

Why would you invest in Portsmouth now? Let them go into administration and get them cheaper.

Also - might not be a bad move for Pompey from a football angle.

Since they are almost certain to get relegated anyway - why not go into administration no so they can get more easily sold on - and take the 10 points penalty now rather than risk having it as a handicap for next season.

apparently if premiership clubs went into administration theyd only get a 9-point penalty - how come??

Isn't the ten point deduction a Football League rule?

I'm sure I read on here, maybe from Boc, that they would get 9pts in the Prem and then if still in admin another 10 next season.

That's assuming the administrator thinks they can be sold as a going concern. They have a lot of secured creditors and football creditors who would have to be paid by any new owner, so the administrator might think it's better for the creditors just to liquidate the club and raise some money by selling the ground and other assets.

Portsmouth are now set to ask for advances on parachute payments, and look like they might succeed. What a fecking shambles if they do. All they are doing is borrowing against even more future money, what will happen when they need that?

Cant we apply for some parachute payments up front, because its obvious if we buy a striker with the money we will go up

They've apparently got to reveal their financial situation to the court today:

Does anyone know if this is the sort of thing that's made public?

Doubt it, but Talksport were saying this morning that they owe about £60million - half of which is to Gaydamak, who 'loaned' money to the club throughout his tenure as owner


Mmmm, sound familiar........??

Not today, when it's given to the registrar to read. When the hearing comes on March 1st, there'll be some of the detail. That is, if Portsmouth don't opt for administration before then.
