dvaughanwilliams Posted 22 May, 2012 Share Posted 22 May, 2012 Two things that I've picked up from a highly reliable source (The Snooze comments section): 1. Chainrai's bid is a conditional, preliminary bid. I would speculate that the condition is that TBH and some of the other earners have been run out of town. 2. The trust bid is even more doomed than I thought. It is based on the fantasy that they can reduce Chainrai's secured debt to their value of Nottaarf, which they consider to be £2m. As if that helps. So now Chainrai would have £2m of secured debt and £16.6m of unsecured debt (it wouldn't just disappear). Now the club would have a total unsecured debt of £56.6m. So, after having his secured debt converted into unsecured, his bid turned down in favour of the trust, he would be asked to vote on the CVA. With more than 25% of the unsecured debt. I wonder which way he'd vote? Also, they're expecting the Council to borrow the money to buy Nottarf. You have to admire their optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I wouldn't wish to disparage those who are at least making the effort to do something, I cannot but wonder at how they can really think they stand a chance of doing it. And it seems that the great majority of Pompey fans either don't want part with their money, or prefer not to get involved because they can see that a successful (in its loosest possible sense) trust bid would still leave Chainrai holding all the aces. I've always thought that the idea of a trust buy-out could make sense only if the club is liquidated and they buy up what's left, or if they start a completely new club to take the place of the liquidated one. I still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 23 May, 2012 Share Posted 23 May, 2012 With 9 days to go to the FL meeting,with the high earners still on the books, with no decision on how much (if anything) the offer to cover the CVA will be, with no decent training ground, with a stadium (in the loose terms) falling down around thier ears, It dosent look good, It certainly doesn't, at least to anyone with half a brain (such us most of us nutjobs). But I'm sure it'll look fine and dandy to the Mawhinney-less FL, especially when the Cheats convince them with the compelling arguments "We will be able to pay our debts and fulfill our fixtures next season." "Honestly." "Seriously, we mean it this time." "Cross our hearts and hope to die!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted 23 May, 2012 Share Posted 23 May, 2012 Chainrai has PFC chained to an ever-lengthening rack, with electrodes connected to it's testicles and water dripping incessantly onto it's forehead 24 hours a day. And every time it drifts into blissful unconsciousness, he chucks a bucket of water over it and shoves smelling salts up it's nostrils. Such a shame they got away with it.

The spreadsheets change nearly every day as new info comes from PFC about staff and costs, if we have to budget for a loss, then we budget for a loss. I think what people are forgetting here that PFC, in its new guise, will have access to a banking facility to aid cashflow that could be underwritten by various means, it doesn't HAVE to be a benefactor borroeing the money and receiving very high interest.

The latest 3 stories on the News site: Time is running out for trust to bid for Pompey No f***ing sh*t. Chris Maguire has been put up for sale by Derby. Clough, however, would be keen to recoup much of the £400,000 in compensation they paid to Aberdeen for Maguire last summer. That is likely to rule out any prospect of a return to Fratton Park considering the Blues’ financial situation. You don't say! Pompey put faith in Academy eight Pompey have offered home-grown products Ashley Harris and Dan Butler new contracts. And six Academy players have become first-year professionals as the Blues pin their future on youth. About bloody time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 23 May, 2012 Share Posted 23 May, 2012 nice one Sussex - though the development has blossomed since you saw the intitial proposal... The future is the 70,000 seater World Cup venue Harbourdome sitting atop the underwater Jungle Book-themed casino and Cluster Bomb factory outlet. Also beneath the waters of the reclaimed harbour we have the National Incest Museum, a Mr Clive, the official club brothel, and the world's biggest non-land-based Saab dealership, with in-house car finance by Brett de Bank. The arena itself has Lucky Mick's Heather and Horsebrass Emporium, the Al Fahim skimpy leisurewear and ice cream franchise, and the players' Kentucky Fried Squirrel bar, all within the concourse. All the retail contracts are being handled by Micky Fialka and his mother - the financial plan has been vaguely drafted by Storrie, Cotterill, Lampitt, Rosie and AA. Main funding comes from Portsmouth City Council using taxpayer's cash to buy a bit of land and give it the the club to sell to Tesco for no apparent reason - a deal the council will do privately, and of course Terry the builder and his mate will knock up the stadium, before voting for their invoice to be ignored, twice. The nominated local charity for the project is still to be chosen, but any funding shortfall will be officially stolen from them on completion.
