I want someone to come in and buy the club to save West Ham 6 points at the top Wont get much support from Southampton fans for comments like that I hope they liquidise sooner rather then later
‎Talking of substantial folk and watery endings... "Portsmouth were in danger of liquidisation" - MICKY QUINN
Yeah I saw him, Steve Tovey was his name. It's kind of sad that their club is dying, yet they STILL show such bitterness towards us. When we were in the deep stuff, I never gave Pompey a second thought.
I was planning on going to the Pompey game for my 21st birthday (live in NI). But now I'm being told its too risky to book all that since the match may not be happening. Can anybody contradict this with a valid source?
No one can confirm, but its looking ominous. Been looking forward to this fixture for a long time myself, I'd say its 60/40 not happening at this time. Sad, very sad.
PoorOldPompey (every one say aagh) are clutching at straws. Morally Birch should shut the club now and use what resources are avilable to him to pay the best possible amount to creditors. To hang on till the death when all the money has gone is immoral.
Immoral? I don't think that is quite fair St Godders. Birch is genuinely trying to find a buyer for the club which would represent the best chance that the creditors might get something back, to say nothing of the blameless people who's jobs are under the most severe threat at a time when the jobs market is incredibly challenging. There would be nothing moral about closing the club down without trying. But thinking about morality, I can't help but wonder if the previous administrator had a different agenda to the current one.
I think Birch has uncovered a can of worms. He says himself that he can't see what has happened. Adronikou looked like he was working to a different agenda. The more I hear the angrier I get on behalf of Pompey fans and their creditors. They are all victims here. Yes, the fans enjoyed their success but who wouldn't. You'd assume that the people in charge knew what they were doing, wouldn't you? If we get promoted, we'll enjoy it and assume every thing is hunky dory.
I thought that until recently. But now they have a proper administrator the full situation is becoming clear. 6 weeks money left. I think it's all over bar the shouting.
I really really hope they survive so we can stuff them and send them down to League 1 and rebuild - its a better alternative than not having them at all
This pop singer whatever guy had his financial mates look at the club and they dropped the idea of buying it straight away. Anyone buying PoorOldPompey will be buying nothing but a franchise name and a bag of debts some known and many unknown. As much as I hate to say this because of all the good guys who who support Pompey but I think they now need to forget about saving the disaster their club has become and focus on what they have all been calling Plan B which is to start with a new community owned club in the lower leagues.
Sometimes when things are really bad, you need to get out from under. If they survived, they could limp on from disaster to disaster. Starting again could turn out be more fun. A well supported non-league side could get a few back to back promotions. Winning is fun at any level.
I honestly found L1 football extremely fun! No pressure in first season and meant we built a winning mentality! Darlington were given days to survive and then suddenly they found some money to keep going for a couple more weeks. That was 7/8 weeks ago
The parachute payments being assigned to Gaydamak by the last administrator shows what kind of administrator he was.
If the worst does happen to PFC, there should be a investigation of finances going back to Milans time in charge. Can't just let these people walk away.
