rallyboy Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 careful pikeyjosh, you're through the bottom of the barrel and that's the floor you're scraping. Are you watching it loud because your big webbed fingers can't steal from dying children, fondle your sister, and operate the remote control at the same time? It might be a waste of fuel but get the opentop bus out again, a clean sheet again the legendary Preston is worth a ticker tape parade, that's if you didn't use it all up celebrating that fantastic courtroom success - and if you have run out of ticker tape you can always shred printouts of the league table and rewrite history as you go! Just when you think deluded is an overused word they jump straight into it again. Give it another year and that'll be recorded as a league double over the scummahs, the 6pts that sent us down and assured their safety. Once again a scabby homeless tramp is mocking our 6-bed house.

dubai_phil Posted 18 December, 2012 Share Posted 18 December, 2012 I still cannot believe that the HNW's have bought into a fantasy that they will walk into the Courtroom (whenever) and simply be given the land for the price THEY want to pay. Such stunning naivety. No wonder they are only HNW's, not rich people. It is a DISPUTE about a VALUATION. Birch can take all the experts to court that he wants. Chinny just has to take someone with a Bank Draft for a grand more than PDT/HNW want to pay. Game over. FFS stop making it so easy for us. Chinny has NO intention of walking away from his money, just because he doesn't use Neil Allen as his mouthpiece does NOT mean he has no WMD's in his pocket. All aimed at the Trust, and backed up by a nice "Politically Acceptable" Olive Branch for the PDT.

OldNick Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 He is talking specifically about the court case "To get us to the court case on the 15 January or maybe later the high net worth individuals and vice-presidents of the PST have agreed an uplift of funding for the administrator to be able to trade the business without going into loss," he said. But yes even after the court case, it will take some time to complete............ and you wouldn't want to rush the most expensive and longest football administration would you. the HNW Pompey fans will find out how others have been treated by PFC over the years.

Clapham Saint Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 The diference between Rangers' statemnts thanking fans for their support and the P*mpey statemnets urging (read begging) supporters to make a pledge is stark. £1,000 is a lot of money to most so anybody who felt pasionately enough to buy a full share (having had weeks to do so), will have signed up by now. The only further pledges that will come in will be dribs and drabs from people who have scraped £20 each and are buying a share between 50 of them. There won't be many of these.

rallyboy Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 Glitterati -do you want to be in their gang, their gang, their gang? No thanks. For so many reasons. Any business venture that relies on an inititial enthusiasm will have a big surge in income followed by a steady decline. If they start off slightly underfunded and then get further stretched AND engaged in a protracted legal battle I would suggest their outgoings will increase roughly as fast as their income decreases. They now form a perfect graph - their income and outgoings must be heading in different directions at an alarming rate. But the 12th man tells us the bid has never been stronger, and no one from Portsea has ever made anything up so it must be true. The truth is they have a shortfall to cover so they need new pledges every day. BUT, they also need new pledges to cover the legal fees and the local hero businessmen's loans. I cannot see how they can produce enough funds, and with every new day, the trickle of pledges slows but the target gets higher. But they are doing great... Facts are the Portsea Ferrero Rocher - a luxury, only to be introduced on very special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the PDT prospectus: "Another source of investment which has enabled a route for supporters to take control of the club has come from a Hampshire property development company. The company will be investing £2.65m, which was a key component of the finance that was required to secure the bid for the club. In return the company will buy Fratton Park and it is being leased back to the club at an affordable long-term deal, with a secure option allowing the club to buy-back the stadium in the next five years."

Minty Posted 19 December, 2012 Share Posted 19 December, 2012 Maybe Mr Robinson has not got money or is unable to loan the dosh for such a poor biz deal... I believe The9 alluded to it earlier but from what I've heard, Mr Robinson is hoping to shortly complete a lucrative deal in the Birmingham area, selling some land he owns to a developer who wants to build a new conference venue, and so would then comfortably have the cash, and who knows what other deals he has on the go. As much as I laughed when I first heard some of his company figures, I believe he probably has more than enough cash... it's just whether he wants to go through with it or not.
