I think voldermort is showing signs that he is starting to crack, the skates are dragging him down to deluded lala-land... 15K? Forget it! Big fish? Nope, nowhere near? Big skate? Granted.

Torres Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I have to convince players to hang on and hang about a little bit and to give me a little bit of time to get things sorted at the club.

holepuncture Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 According to #fanonthecommittee, there's another meeting of the Creditor's Committee today. I think that would be Ian (http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/true-blue-ian-to-be-voice-of-pompey-s-local-businesses-1-3810306) I wish Ian all the best representing the many small creditors who have been completely screwed over by the community club of the year which is essential to the community they screw over time and time again... or something! Ironically, Plan B might get some vital experience if the current existence of the skates makes it to August... as they go to visit AFC Wimbledon at Kingstonian. This will give them an idea of what Moneyfields and Plan B will be like, and they can get a flavour of how they run a non-league club for a decade pushing up to League 2. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pompey-announce-dons-friendly-1-3810568 And in other news, the toy market is not doing too well, and Corporate will not be buying a PST share. He is looking towards building a syndicate, presumably with the funds from the sale of his camera. Looking forward to the withdrawl of my pledge.

A £5,000 FINE has been dished out to UHY Hacker Young partner Andrew Andronikou for "manifestly inappropriate" conduct in relation to a client going through personal insolvency proceedings. In a consent order made with the ICAEW, Andronikou was severely reprimanded, fined £5,000 and paid costs of £6,500 in relation to his role as a nominee and supervisor of an insolvent individual in 2007. The institute's investigation committee said that the complaint against him related to wrongly recommending a creditors' meeting should be summoned, in that he had not undertaken sufficient investigations into the validity of certain creditor claims. Court proceedings to set aside a decision of the creditors' meeting by a third party saw his conduct as "manifestly inappropriate" relating to evidence filed by him on the respondent's behalf. He was reprimanded and fined £500 last year by the ICAEW in a consent order for failing to meet insolvency reporting requirements.

Dark Munster Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 his representative stated he would at the recent creditors meeting, the delay is to see if anyone else throws their hat in the ring offering him a quicker return. I think the delay is simply because Chinny doesn't want to pay any running costs (i.e. TBH and co's salary) for as long as possible. He's hoping Trevor can somehow convince most of them to leave before liquidation day. The halcyon days of quality over quantity mad gambles to get back to PL are over I'm afraid. The Cheats are going to plummet down the leagues faster than a pair of knickers in Portsea, and at the end of it Chinny will get his hands on the last parachute payment. The cesspit of a club reminds me of one of those zombies from the Walking Dead, locked up in shed and being kept alive with the odd chicken thrown in occasionally. And at the end its head will get blown off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 I know Chanrai has made noises about returning but how convincing is he?

The basic premise is that because he's owed loads he wants to keep them alive. But they're due to make big losses next year and are now in league 1 - just how does Chanrai make any money back in this scenario? It could be that Chainrai sees two options, Birch liquidates them or he does! Surely he would rather be in control of that process and govern the time scale and decide what offers to accept for the assets (hahaha). If Birch does it he will want to get it over and done with quickly and will accept the first offers that come along. Birch is encouraging the Trust 'buy-out' as a means of a new start up rather than purchase of a going concern. It is also in Birch's interests to raise as much cash as he can from player sales for the creditors pot before Chainrai comes back. If BC does get back in control he could, conceivably, put them back in to administration, voluntarily this time, and appoint his own administrator to do the winding up for BC's benefit. I wonder who would get that job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedg Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 I wonder if there is a scenario where Chinny negotiates with the trust such that the trust takes over but chinny still gets the lions share of the parachute payments?

hutch Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 There's only something like £4m of the parachute payments left unspoken for. And that's currently reducing at around £1m a month on player wages. Hardly a dealmaker, and very soon irrelevant unless they get rid of 15 players that nobody wants right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronskisaint Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 Is there a chance of Birch liquidating the club to stop Chanrai coming back? Wouldn't they be better off starting from scratch? Birch's function is to get the best deal for all the creditors...this is sometimes blurred in the rhetoric that he is bound to use in his (increasing desperate) attempts to sell the club as a viable proposition. It's been shown that isn't the case so many times but that faint hope of an idiot fan winning the Euro Millions still exists until the toaster pops for the final time. Whilst Chanrai says he'll not let liquidation happen his reasons for saying so (parachute payments) are diminishing by the week - the clock is truly ticking.

eurosaint Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 In summary, it may be that Chinny is prepared to accept that players be sold (en masse!) this month in order to bring the costs down as low as possible ! Ok he loses any transfer fees, but at the end of the month he could be left with the stadium, a club with little or no wages to pay and possibly some parachute payments to come ! This then leaves him in control of the situation, giving him time to find some other dodgy dealer to take over, or just get Andy to do the liquidation in his favour ! I wouldn't put it past him !!
