badgerx16 Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 PST BID ON TRACK AND WITH ADMINISTRATOR PST's bid to buy Portsmouth Football Club is with Administrator Trevor Birch and still on course to be successful. But in a move welcomed by PST, Mr Birch has given both the Trust and rival bidder Portpin additional time to finalise their bids, notably to satisfy the Football League on a number of issues. 'We have said all along that our bid is robust and credible, and the best option for the creditors and the football club,' said Colin Farmery spokesperson for PST 'To all intents and purposes our bid is submitted but, given Pompey's recent history, we fully understand and support the need for this process to be as thorough as possible and welcome this decision by PKF. We will continue to work to the timetable set out by the administrators. 'We are pleased that Trevor Birch thinks we are capable of concluding a deal and will work round the clock to agree and finalise the deal as soon as we can. 'In the mean time we would urge all Pompey fans who are able to attend the match at Fratton Park against Walsall on Saturday and give Michael Appleton and the team their full support,' he added.

How long have they had this deadline and they still can't sort out the most obvious problems with their bids? By his own admission Chainrai submitted his bid last week, so it must be in a pretty poor state if it still doesn't tick all of Trev's boxes. The Trust have supposedly upped their bid since they initially offered only part payment of the player deferrals, but obviously they're still some way short of where they need to be. I'd be massively worried by Birch's actions if I were the Trust. PKF's fees plus legal bills is fast approaching £2M now, and there's various other creditors highlighted in PKF's report who still have sums outstanding. That will have to be paid, and will be done so from the existing bank account which has been funded by the parachute payments (the same parachute payments which the Trust need to actually function). So the longer it all goes on, the PKF keep billing at their average of £299 per hour, the less operating cash the new owner will have to keep the club afloat if/when they finally get over the line. I'm very surprised Birch hasn't faced any sort of challenge from creditors; there's surely an argument that the amount of cash in the bank is more than the value of the club were they to liquidate.

rallyboy Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 As a result of these factors, we believe it is in the best interests of creditors to allow the interested parties a further short period of time to conclude a sale.’ said Trev as he kept the handbrake firmly on, calmly pocketing his daily rate of £9,000, money that could actually sort a few of those creditors out, but no. We are assured that it's in their best interests to watch the money being frittered away until they are all fighting over an empty cash bag. No rush. In your own time. Slowly does it now.... That'll be 10,000 of the few paying Trev and the Old Bill*, hope they have some cash left for those poor underpaid players. *the only bill likely to get paid in full.

Can't think of anything that could be worth that much tbh. Oh hang on, maybe they've got lead on the roof! This is the problem with Football clubs - In most normal companies, there are some saleable assets to get some money back fror creditors, but usually if there is no chance of a recovery. Liquidation will happen quickly to avoid debt increasing which teh administrator is liable for.... BUt this is where football clubs see immune - as the assetts are only sellable if a club is not liquidated - the players, whos registrations revert to the FA if a club is liquidated, the assets such as land etc do have some value, and I think had pompey owned their ground and teh surrounding land, Brch would have been pretty much mandated to liquidate as this would have yielded more for creditors .... until you factor in the 12 mil (approx 8mil left) of parachute money - the argument against liquidation is avery simple - ebven though its costing them money to keep the rotting thing going.... the creditors (well chinny anyway) and footballing creditors in theory get more if the club get access to this cash - so they have to keep them going - Its possibly why the FL/FA are being more lenient as it should in theory mean the footballing creditors will get their compromised amounts - but thats the 8 mil gone.... unless someone whips that away and then liquidates the club.... before its passed on to footballing creditors Couple of things I think might happen.... The footballing creditors will never see the full 8mil that they agreed to in compromise - even if split over 4 years, 2 mil a year in L2 will cripple pompey and see them back in admin... even if by some miracle they had learned their lesson and were running a tight ship -and secondly, they dont appear to know what a tight ship is or accept taht runinig within their means with a 2mil outlay a year to football creditors from a L2 revenue will defo mean they are NOT competitive, and as I understand it those down the road find that a difficult concept to understand - so their heads would probably explode or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that neither bidder can satisfy the FL in terms of paying former players and making it til the end of the season, and Birch has extended the deadline a few days instead of liquidating already under the guise of giving the bidders more time to extract a few more days fees out of it.

Having joined the club's academy at the age of eight, Ward-Prowse, now 17, was promoted to the first team at the start of the season and has gone on to produce encouraging displays in each of their three Premier League games so far. More interestingly, however – he is a Portsmouth supporter. "I was at both clubs and had to pick which one I wanted to play for and knew straight away that for the sake of my career I wanted to play for Southampton," he said. "This has been the right choice – I've grown to love the club." That is some statement for a man Southampton fans would otherwise refer to as a "skate" and, not surprisingly, has led to Ward-Prowse feeling unable to return to Fratton Park, a stadium where he once held a season ticket.

I think the guarrantees from both bids is as you say the problem... because I would hope that the FL have indeed had enough of ****ing footbal creditors (let alone the other 80mil of written off debt) around given that they already agreed to a compromise - in effect the FL probably wont tolerate a compromise on the current compromise... The solution surely is simple - the bidders should deal with the Premier League and get them to administer the payment of the 8mil directly to teh footballing creditors... I guess the problem then is that neither bidder has enough in the planned budget to keep things going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suggesting that Chinny wants to hold more secured debt than the Football League stated they would allow under the conditions for the Golden Share. Chinny wants to hold on to as much as his secured debt as possible. He's got a proposal that the FL are frowning on. Chinny will say, "Accept my conditions, or I liquidate." Of course Chinny will be very happy to let someone else buy the club, as long as they meet his valuation. Ultimately, Chinny holds all the cards.

rallyboy Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 the players' agreements are in reality about £8.5M plus Kanu, so they could be up to £10M. The PPs are only £8M. So they need to save money at the moment to be ready to cover that shortfall. Instead they are spending that future funding to gain a competitive advantage. It's bonkers. Just as it was claimed about Storrie, and then Lampitt - but Birch wouldn't let them spend more than they have... Birch is out of there soon and doesn't care what happens at Christmas, let alone in 2014! I'm surprised the Trust haven't highlighted this as it's their income he's spending, even Chinny has had a moan about it. Perhaps the Trust is too busy celebrating the glorious victory over Crawley to worry about how they pay the bills next year. Despite all the chaos of recent years, nothing has changed in the fans' mindset. They are still stuck in this cycle of poor management that involves spending tomorrow's money on gaining an advantage today. They are determined to self-harm, and no one will stop them.

As Storrie pointed out so eloquently on a previous occasion, why would any player sign for us when given the choice between Saints and the Skates? Reading, Stoke and others might as well throw their hands in too, as they can't offer the package that the Skates can, with their iconic stadium and best fans in the World support. And they are also the only club after him able to offer a rolling monthly contract too, not only allowing the players maximum flexibility in the career choices, but also able to enact that policy because of their utmost confidence that the players will want to stay with Pompey, because it is one the big glory clubs with an illustrious history. Also, he will be enticed by the prospect of moving to a beautiful thriving cosmopolitan city full of culture and energy. Surely the bright lights will be enough to turn the head of a young lad from a sleepy little backwater like Christchurch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
