One of the trust's stated conditions for taking over is staying at least at league 1 level for a minimum of three seasons. As ever, it's the finances that still don't add up, and getting relegated would probably mean that the trust DON'T stave off another admin.

Pedro Posted 3 August, 2012 Share Posted 3 August, 2012 I can't see HMRC allowing themselves to be a creditor again. Speaking to a very wealthy businessman today he was telling me about a huge aquisition his company made and they claimed the VAT back on costs. This was a large sum and HMRC are being "ruthless" in their investigations before paying their claim. In my miniscule business, HMRC have been so agressive when we were one day (twice) late with our VAT payments that we have now decided to pay VAT and PAYE several days before the due date to make sure. HMRC does seem to be airbrushed from PST financial forecasts. Treat them the same as other businesses, liquidation has to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 3 August, 2012 Share Posted 3 August, 2012 http://m.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/appleton-sends-out-pompey-youth-warning-1-4124222 "Michael Appleton has warned Pompey cannot afford to rely on their youngsters in League One. He said: ‘Let’s be absolutely, completely blunt. ‘If we are going into the season with kids, there is only one thing that is going to happen, end of story. ‘No-one can blame them and expect any different but let’s just get real for one second. ‘They need massive, massive help and they need time. They are not ready for this type of football at all – as in the amount of numbers we are talking about. ‘Two or three might come through to be part of an experienced team and a team that can be successful – but certainly not seven, eight or nine of them. ‘If they are lucky enough to get a few minutes here, a few minutes there, then all of a sudden a couple of them are lucky enough to get a start, then great. ‘We must all realise, though, the kids are not going to be the answer in making sure Portsmouth have a really competitive season." I was passing this on to a Pompey fan as a big facepalm article, but re-reading it, I'm not so sure anymore... At first, I read it as the usual plea to the FL about competitiveness. But reading the headline and text, there is no clear recipient for the article - it's just "Appleton sends out Pompey youth warning", Michael Appleton has warned Pompey cannot afford to rely on their youngsters in League One. etc. It then goes on to be more directly aimed at Pompey supporters. Re-reading it, I don't think it's aimed at the FL - I'm quite sure it's just a way to manage expectation from the Pompey fans (and maybe put pressure on whoever takes over). Now it's out there: Appy reckons the current squad will fail, so when it happens, it's not his fault. His hero status will be intact even though he brings them another relegation... In that light it's not so much a facepalm article, just the usual news from Appy's warped dimension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 but if the trust can stave away another admin But Mero, the whole point is that none of us see how on earth they can. There's enough people on here with business experience at different levels, and one thing I reckon they'd all say is that the trust is severely undercapitalised, even without all the baggage and the unquantified nature of so many of the issues. They've got a To Do list, and they can't tick off any of the items because each one has so many contingencies, unknowns and associated crocks of ****. Their budget is unrealistic and idealistic in the extreme even if everything went as planned. Whoever said you'd be better off with a clean phoenix club was right, in my opinion.

Son of Dave Posted 4 August, 2012 Share Posted 4 August, 2012 Considering the results of their Gibraltar trip resulted in what ? heavy defeats by a bunch of part-timers and Brighton is it any wonder Appy is looking to manage expectations down a notch or two ? Consider also these trialists were the players Appy had been lining up for some time and you have what ? An inexperienced coach looking to pull a squad together and not having the nous or contacts to do it. Seriously, some have said he's free to do whatever & his reputation will be untouched, but the longer he sticks with pompey & the longer he's the one making the decisions then mud will stick. Time's ripe for Appy to walk & I reckon that'll add a new little twist to the tale for them.I was passing this on to a Pompey fan as a big facepalm article, but re-reading it, I'm not so sure anymore...

I think the trust will just lurch along and finally go back into admin. You lot will then have to go through this again - a lot of your lot will give up going (as they already have) and you will not come out of the next one. In one way its quite sad to see after all if your club were a dog it would have been put down for humane reasons a long time ago. If I were you I'd give it up TBH - start a pheonix club - one that all of pompey can get behind instead of battering them into submission by constant admins etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can empathise with the feeling of being grateful just to have a club to support, we got lucky sure but I didn't ever have to face the dilemma of knowing that my club had cheated it's way to success by effectively robbing every category and sector of the local, footballing and taxpaying community. I can't be objectively certain but I can't help feeling that I'd have found the dregs so unpalatable that I would have wanted a fresh, untainted start.

Iam not against the sensible ones like Mero , mack etc who in the main are decent and whilst anti us, still show some humour and respect. During one of my previous incarnations as a teacher I used to work with EBD youths - kids who were often already well-known to the police & usually one short step away from a secure unit or prison. One of the things I learned very quickly was that the ability to tolerate uncertainty was in short supply with them, and lack of that capacity had landed them where they were - i.e. if they didn't know where they were with you there'd be real trouble very soon. I sometimes wonder if some of our friends on POL are like that - lacking, perhaps, the emotional maturity to cope with change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
