Righto, thanks a lot guys, everything was a hell of a lot of help. I'll give you a post tomorrow and let you know how I got on. Thanks again! Night.

Completely true, it must have been a mix of bad management and ownership issues. I guess, as long as the investment had been there, the club would have picked itself up and carry on, but the investment never was there because of untrustworthy owners. Which makes it a pickle for me. Do you...

Exactly! But that is a clear sign of extremely poor management. With a club in such poor financial stability, it surely cannot be responsible for an experienced CEO to spend spend spend money the club does not have on players which may or may not result in promotion, which is traditionally the...

Great information you two, it's really helped. I've moved on from ownership issues in my presentation onto poor management, from where I can hopefully start talking about no investment in infratstructure, as you mentioned, poor gate receipts compared to other clubs, yet still enormous spending...

Back already! Clearly the club was torn apart by these businessmen over a one year period, between 09 and '10, but for four years since Gaydamak's takeover, the club's money was in short supply, so clearly something was going wrong at the heart of the business, and CEO Peter Storrie worked at...

That sounds about right to me, and I only need the general jist of it for my presentation, as I need to focus mainly on why Pompey couldnt control their finances and the incapabilitiy of its owners/directors. Cheers PompeyLapras, I may be back on the forum in the next few hours for some more help.

Oh right, I did read that somewhere actually. Okay so when Pompey entered Administration in February of 2010, this is because Chanrai became the owner of Pompey following "Al-Faraj"'s defaulting payments of £17m in loans from Chanrai's Portpin. Okay this makes sense, blimey your club really...

Please see my new thread lads to help out with what I've understood so far. http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/137755-Writing-a-presentation-about-your-Administration-problems

Right, really hoping you Pompey fans can help me out again, because youve been a great help so far. Milan Mandaric owned the club till January 2006, no problems. The club was bought by Alexandre Gaydamak in Jan 2006, who accepted a bid in May 2009 by Sulaiman Al Fahim for the club. -...

Cheers again Third Eye I'll have a read up. And a good shout Jaytab but I've had a tip off that half the management at the firm I'm going for are Saints fans with a few Pompey scattered about so I'm hoping this will be slightly more engaging.

Thanks a lot 3rd Eye and Wooperts_duck, some great informaton there. I'll definately have a read up on the articles and content you've mentioned and see if I can find any interesting figures that give the impression I know what the hell I'm talking about! Might be a bit bitter sweet knowing I...

I'm more than aware saints had the same problem, but the presentation criteria is to discuss a business and the problems it's currently facing, and how our (the accounting firm in question) company could help it. This is why I'd like some opinions on what could be changed, is there anything you...

Hello Pompey fans. Firstly, please try and see past the fact I am a Saints fan! Any help would be greatly appreciated. For a job interview I have soon with an accounting firm, I need to prepare a presentation about an industry of my choice and their problems. I have chosen football...
