Portsmouth FC in yet more trouble - administration again?

[ToonTastic]

I don't understand why they didn't sell during the window?

 

I think they had a transfer ban on them similar to the one Chelsea were going to get.

 

That was lifted before the transfer window that's how they were able to sign loan players.

[Stifler]

Al Fahim quits as Chairman and gives 10% of his shares to the fans. A fans satement says something about someone coming in to buy the club hopefully. They just can't see the sense can they, it's not going to happen, and him giving his shares away isn't a good, he's going to fuck the fans and club up.

[Belfast Boy]

Him giving his shares to the fans just screams to me of a dealer throwing all evidence out the car window as the police chase him.

All the talk of a South African consortium being interested in them sounds very familiar. Probably the same bullshit merchants who were supposedly interested in buying Newcastle (without ever getting close to doing so).

I believe that one of their major lenders is South African, might just be them.

Only fair that if they go out of business before May that we take there place straight away with the points from the Championship carried over.

FAIL

 

Throw them out of the League and promote 4 teams from the CCC.

 

Or the current top placed team, with their current points aswell.

what a surprise these mysterious south africans takeover seems to have faltered

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Portsmouth-are-on-the-brink-of-becoming-the-first-side-in-Premier-League-history-to-go-into-administration-after-a-rescue-bid-by-a-mystery-South-African-consortium-faltered-article332725.html

who would have guessed that?

[Dan Gleebals]

With a fund raising opening line of something like "sir, there is a pigeon in your bank account and we need to access it to get it out" its hardly suprissing the consortium failed.

Porstmouth going bust would be a pisser on several counts.

 

1. The fans seeing their club disappear. Not good.

 

2. Fucking Liverpool benefitting most from the points thing.

 

3. Us losing the three points we've had off them.

 

4. Birmingham City getting a bye to the FAC Semi Finals, us doubtless drawing them, and the M40 looking like the road to Bagdhad in the first gulf war.

1. What fans ? They can't even fill their tiny shitty stadium for PL games, we get double their numbers in the division below. For me they've done nothing to help their club.

 

2., 3. & 4. Couldn't give a shit really.

That's a really parochial, fuck-you-jack approach to fans of another club, the sort of shit you'd expect to hear from Tim Lovejoy or any other of the witless Sky media tarts who have no concept of what it is like to support an unfashionable club.

 

Who gives a fuck if they fill their stadium or if it is a tip or not? They're fans like you and me are, and through no fault of their own their club is going to shit.

 

I don't see the relevance of your attendances to Portsmouth's situation, either.

 

It'd be interesting to see how many tickets they'd have had to sell to overcome 131m pounds spaffed on wages by their clueless owner and CEO over three years.

 

Incidentally, it is quite depressing to hear that from the fan of another club which has also felt the downside of a clueless owner of late.

FFS. Just because they don't have as many fans as us doesn't mean that they don't love their club.  They certainly don't deserve what's happening to them.

There were some rumours that the FA might reinstate Southampton in the FA Cup if Portsmouth go bust, probably because they've already sold the TV rights to the game.

Southampton?

 

Christ, talk about being kicked when you're down.

[STM]

I feel sorry for them but hope we can benefit in some way. Even if it's simply by taking a player or two off them in the summer.

I didn't see any outpouring of love for us when we went down last season, people were positively giddy with the thought that we may go bust.

 

Portsmouth fans need to show that they want their club to survive, not being able to fill that tiny ground (and it bloody is tiny) does not show that.

 

I fell more sympathy for clubs whose's fans actually give a shit, such as Leeds, and I quite honestly don't give a Rats arse about a team on the south coast of England.

If they Loved their club that much they would turn up, they may not have as many supporters as us, but they have way less seats to fill too.

[Dave]

So the ones who do turn up don't count?

[brummie]

Surely you can see there's a bit of a difference between getting relegated and being in court facing a winding up order, though?

 

I pissed my pants the last time Birmingham got relegated, it made my season. I wouldn't want them to go out of business, though.

 

 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Did anyone care this much when Woolworths went out of business?
