Nobody Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 heres a better question, who the hell will buy these players if they are allowed to sell them, they had a chance to sell last month and there wasnt much interest then now was there? Also, what would be the point in buying a player if he's going to go for free soon? Which their entire squad will if they're wound up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We have been linked with Belhadj for this particular reason, the fact we could sign him outside the window on the cheap to cover for our current defense woes (although it's probably bollocks since we don't really need a leftback).

Village Idiot Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I just made contact again with a Pompey fan I knew that told me he went to a fans forum in Portsmouth yesterday. Apparently nobody blames Redknapp for what's happening, they think he stretched the wages a lot but has been "loyal to the club" buying back players at good prices to take them out of the ditch. Mandaric is who they blame for it all. Apparently the loans he took to bankroll the squad in the early 2000s were crippling and have been biting them in the ass (forcing refinancing after refinancing) until they have caught up on them. One of the things they are looking at is selling Fratton Park and having it leased back. Nobody at the forum thought they were making it out of this, but would rebuild the club in the non-leagues if necessary. Oh, they have 3 new rumoured owners. A local consortium and two overseas.

Cronky Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 One of the things they are looking at is selling Fratton Park and having it leased back. I can't see why anyone would buy a football ground if they didn't own the club as well. It's not as though the Council is going to give you planning permission to develop the site at a later date, if the local football club still needs the ground.

Guest John McClane Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 This is getting so f***ing dodgy.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 What's the situation if they liquidate? 2 teams get relegated from the Premiership as the 3rd position is taken up by what would have been Portsmouth? How does the Championship adjust to only 2 teams coming down from the Premiership but 3 get promoted to the Premiership? 4 go up from League 1 or only 2 are relegated from the Championship?

Stifler Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 It would be great if 4 teams come up from the CCC, that would almost garuntess us getting promoted and 3 teams who should be worse off then us at the end of next season. However I doubt it will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
