If that statement was from at the time of the club going into administration itshows what nonsense they spout. Increse attendances , sell players and get investment Lol. it's so easy isnt it. Why didnt the club build a 50k stadium if it is so easy to fill the grounds. God banks really dont know the real world.When did the bank reduce our overdraft back another £1m? As far as I can see we had brought the overdraft down to the new level of £4m and would have thought they would have been pleased with that nd so seen we were doing it correctly.To then start bouncing cheques after the club had reduced its borrowings by 2.3m is harsh and underhand IMO. i dont think I will blame the club for not selling players in that situation.In fact if the club had wished to quickly raise an extra few hundred thousand they could have done a March madness. They obviously had been under the impression that things were ok and they still being supported.I wonder who or what put the spanner in the works?

I dont see unity on the fanbase.I suggest you wait to see what happens after administration. The triumphant Wilde bunchers were giving it the big one last time. Wilde tee shirts etc Looooooooooooool I hope we get somebody all sides can unite behind, but lets hope we still have a club

In LC's tenure (only a short period) and he had 3 managers. Lol. Wilde and his bunch has been a massive impact on our fortunes. RL has been put in power by Askham and Wilde, they are the people who are as much been part of our misfortune. I dont know why we are carrying on with all this sham,we sdhould be more worried what administration may do to us..positive or negative? Unless we get a proper investor we will be in this position for evermore.Having people who need to buy for a knockdown price or they cant buy us cannot be the people to take us to the good times again.Beggars cant be choosers though.

If we havent by June there is no club ..period. Do you not understand the gravity of the situation we are in.Do you really believe that SFC is so important to people not connected with it they care a damn. You may believe we are the best thing since sliced bread but people who will be putting their hard earned cash in wil want to make sure it is a bargain that will not ruin them. The club was losing 40k a week (some say more ). There are not that many people out there who after seeing how much problem it caused RL to cut costs and still have big losses, will then take the risk. Yes the stadium repayments may be gone but whoever then owns it will want a decent rent, any players of value may be sold if we dont find a buyer very quickly, the administrators fees are rising by the minute and all those people who have shown an interest whether they be contributors to Pompey on line or whereever are costing the club money as fees are raked up as they are sorted to see if they are real or fantasists. We havent got til July as far as i can see, we have got about a month or 5 weeks. You may think its fun but to me it is a rolercoaster i dont wish to be on. We now have no choice who takes the club on, none of the custodians have a say and so whether it be Pol Pot or mary poppins we have to wait and hope.

Robbie please show me those quotes, I have not seen anything that says that

thanks for enlightening me

The lounge and muppet show seem to be in the same decline as our club. No posters , and little interest. We need some good old fashioned arguements and MB to start postings some of his more interesting girlfriends in underwear again

to be faqir much of it is correct. Im sick of them all and Askham yet again is not talked about but just the same old 3. He must be more Teflon coated than Blair and Clinton combined

and if we had, the automatic -10 would have come into play. The accounts would have then been shown that we had funds and fans like myself and others would have said why did we go into admin when the club was still solvent.The bank reduced the overdraft (basically moving the goalposts)whe nwe had done what had been asked to do by them. It does not seem right and proper IMO

My favourite was a collegue when he was offered a low price for an item looked the lady up and down and said 'These are not the proceeds of a burlary madam.' and promptly snatched the item back and pushed them out of his shop

Why should LC save the club anymore than me or anybody else. There was a board and many hangers on who have had plenty out of the club. They would have known the situation and as a WHOLE should have taken the measures.It is easy pushing forward the most generous person forward to foot the bill. LC I have criticised on occasions but I do not see why he should be held accountable any more than the others who have so let us down for decades. I and many others have trudged to games for 40 years , never getting as much as a complimentary cup of bovril and looked down upon from the centre of the stands as just a cash cow. A fool who had become so ingrained in loving the club and in turn treated like a mug. Yes i know I volunteered for it ,I was not forced into supporting Saints, or forced into having near fights with people who dared to question SFC's name, having heated conversations about MLT being lazy, or how our former manager had been 2nd in command and overseen one of the generations greatest players being overlooked and Carlton Palter or Geoff Thomas player in his place. LC should not have lost another £2m for his love of the club and it is wrong now genuine well meaning people are being encouraged to put their hard earned money into it now. If he was wanting to buy the club and had overseen us going into administration so he could buy it as a snip is another matter of course.

Thats football for you Id be the other way around.Fuller and Jones are good footballers and would be a good partnership up front and I was sad they both went.Fuller was never given a chance to feel welcome here and now he has shown in the PL that he is a good forward. Dyer will turn out to be another good player and we will fret one day why we didnt keep him

I had thought this to be the case but wanted confirmation thanks

If there are more than offers will the administrator be able to contact the lower bidder and ask them to raise theirs (to get an auction going)or will he just say 'you had your chance and so it's sold'

Was Wellington in administration? What was his quote Derry?

Desperately close to what? I thought as we were in administration you are protected in ways from the banks or other creditors

It hadn't occured to me your thoughts in the last paragraph. Quite a sobering thought, or a case that there are so many interested parties it is going to take longer than expected.Not a pop at you Clapham, but i doubt the administrator worries if it takes months longer as long as there are assets to dispose of and get his fees.

it depends what they value him at compared to the price achieved.I suggest any sales would be at a firesale price wheras people coming in would not need to be doing so.It doesnt make sense to me, whats new there you may say, ps shouldnt you be off thinking up how to smear people on e-mail...only kidding BTF

Not at all, if you are buying the house with carpets included and then they are sold you then have to renegotiate the price.That would immediately ut people off wishing to offer

Clapham I see on another thread that Dyer has been sold. How would that be viewed by the administrator and people wishing to buy the club/assets. Surely how can anybody put a value on the club /player assets if we are selling them at this time?

I can see the reasoning behind that. I wonder why the club can sell assets when its holding company is in talks with potential investors and selling an asset may be seen as moving the goalposts.Its like selling a house with carpets included and then them being sold afterwards.

If the fee is that then the administrator has done a marvellous deal. I find that hard to believe as Swansea wouldnt pay the 500k in Jan.

this is just why administration is a disaster for us fans. Swansea have got the best end of the deal.In jan(at that stage the club did not need to sell as they had the bank on board) they may have paid in the region 0f 400-500k ,now they have us over a barrel it will be sub 250k and we also will not have the advantage of a bidding war with other interested parties. Rasiak will be viewed the same by Watford.Add to deductions taken by the administrator in fees on the transaction gives us even less.This is the thin edge of the wedge sadly.

KD must have sha####d a close relative of yours to be so against him.

Ive seen better...
