October 1, 200916 yr Are they in trouble more seriously than we thought? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/8284936.stm
October 1, 200916 yr looks a totally irrellevent payroll issue to me. I'm sure it's just a hiccup but Irrelevant and "payroll issue" don't work in the same sentence when it comes to footballers
October 1, 200916 yr I wouldn't be surprised if it was a real issue as there was a financial problem over the summer (hence the fire sale). This new bloke sounds like he's full of shit too. Not that I care much for Portsmouth anyway.
October 1, 200916 yr Are they in trouble more seriously than we thought? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/8284936.stm No, because I thought that they were up the creek without a paddle all summer. Despite all the calling of Gartside and Eddie Davies that goes on, it makes me realise how lucky we are.
October 1, 200916 yr Fcuk um the bell ringing freaks Got to admit Westy is a bit of a fan of Bolton Wanderers and friendly with quite a few of us. Im gutted for him
October 1, 200916 yr If they go into Admin How many lovely, valuable points do they lose 10pts I believe, which'll be nice, as that will be one of the relegation places gone
October 1, 200916 yr 10pts I believe, which'll be nice, as that will be one of the relegation places gone Does that not apply to the following season though? (however backward that is)
October 1, 200916 yr Does that not apply to the following season though? (however backward that is) I think, and I am happy to be corrected, it only applies to the following season if the club decides to go into administration after March 1st (I think)
October 1, 200916 yr 7 games, 7 defeats I wouldn't pay the shite fuckers either. very good point. from now on they should be on pay as you play
October 1, 200916 yr I think, and I am happy to be corrected, it only applies to the following season if the club decides to go into administration after March 1st (I think) Think they changed it so that if club concerned has already been relegated then the point are deducted the season after, if they are 'safe' then the points would be taken off there and then, which could in turn relegate them. Simples!
October 2, 200916 yr looks a totally irrellevent payroll issue to me. more to it than that...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...uth/8286657.stm
October 2, 200916 yr Have I read this right then, he's already bought them? So have the Premier League or FA or whoever, done their checks to find him a fit & proper person? The Premier League is understood to be monitoring the situation and looking to see if Pompey fulfil the financial criteria set out to its clubs, while the Professional Footballers' Association will deal with any contractual issues if players are not paid.
October 2, 200916 yr The guy who has taken over Portsmouth brokered the deal for Manchester City last year. No why would a bloke with serious wealth, the type of wealth needed now and what Pompey are hoping for, work for somebody else? Comes across in this article as a bit of a bullshitter. David Conn who wrote it, is a pretty well-respected journalist. http://www.worldsoccer.com/features/a_tale...res_289884.html Plus according to this article, the Premier League are ready to take control of Portsmouth if they go into administration http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...sh-1796230.html A secret transfer embargo was implemented on the club during the summer by the Premier League's chief executive, Richard Scudamore, as they struggled to stay afloat while selling off their biggest names. Looks like they nearly went bust in the summer
October 2, 200916 yr Have I read this right then, he's already bought them? So have the Premier League or FA or whoever, done their checks to find him a fit & proper person? Apparently Ronnie Biggs would pass those checks
October 2, 200916 yr Looks like they nearly went bust in the summer That's what I heard on the sportswear grapevine. There were payment issues apparently.

October 2, 200916 yr Perhaps he's needs to wait for the latest batch of royalties from 'Hello John Got A New Motor' before he can pay out wages
October 2, 200916 yr Perhaps he's needs to wait for the latest batch of royalties from 'Hello John Got A New Motor' before he can pay out wages Surprised he can do anything after that crash in the tunnel in Paris Edited October 2, 200916 yr by Spider
October 2, 200916 yr Perhaps he's needs to wait for the latest batch of royalties from 'Hello John Got A New Motor' before he can pay out wages I always thought Danny Baker could tap his mate Chris Evans for a few quid.
October 2, 200916 yr Got to admit Westy is a bit of a fan of Bolton Wanderers and friendly with quite a few of us. Im gutted for him yes hes a nice bloke met him once in old orleans on't middlebrook he walked in with his big hat on.
