saint si Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Yep, but Coventry's ground is not a slum... Agreed, but the driver of rent is the value it gives to the renter and due to it being used for football, and only football, that will heavily skew things. For example that a club like Walsall would find it relatively easy to ground-share if they couldn't pay their rent, with plenty of either sizeable stadia within a few miles. Whereas the skates have essentially no other option - H&W would probably be the best they could hope for. Furthermore as long as the Trust - which is the only option for the club to exist - insists on having Fatpipes Park, and accepts no other option, then surely the value of FP is very high to them. Much higher than if there were other options on the table. Anyway, I picked Walsall as that's another club I was able to find rent figures for. £360k back in 2009/2010 according to wikipedia. So using the same 10% figure, that would give a valuation of c. £3.6m. FWIW, I would think 6% is a more realistic rate of return - valuing the Bescot at £6m. Given it was built for £4.5m back in 1990, that sounds about right. So somewhere between £6 and £10m for Fatpipes? Roll on the 14th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertySFC Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Do you think we should be a little charitable and offer a ground share ?

TopGun Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Cheers for the insight. Of course, they can be as confident as they like of being able to raise the funds for a purchase that includes a £3m valuation for Fatpipe Park....as long as the judge agrees with their valuation...which, given 'someone' yesterday offered something significantly better, is surely unlikely...? Unless of course the judge falls for the bleeding heart campaign... It's incredibly rare that a judge with commercial knowledge makes such a blunder. Most judges are ex QCs and know the score very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The #Pompey targets that got away - Dzeko, Toure and more. http://t.co/Zh4U4ciL Confirmation, if any was needed, that their cup and premiership runs were based on unsustainable funding. #cheats Or, the alternative view... 09/02/2013 10:39 AM GMT Tman Denmead, they probably assumed that like Newcastle, Chelsea etc it was a rich man's toy to be financed by the owner until bouyant/successful enough to self-financing. After reading Micah Hall's excellent log of events, I wouldn't lay the blame at Storrie or Redknapp's door, but the fraudulent operation by Gaydamak senior and his business "associates". To blame "Pompey" as such for the criminal goings-on re local businesses and charities is the sort of simplistic comment expected from some silly scummer, and I'm sure you're not one of those...

johnnyboy Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 From Old Spice on POL New PompeyAge said: ↑ Sorry Mick, I'm a bit confused now. How is it that after all this time the PFA have still not ratified the Trust bid? I thought everything was in place for the Trust to take control 'tomorrow' once the valuation was sorted in court. If the PFA are still dragging their heels after all this time and surely knowing the urgency of the situation, how much longer might they drag their heels? I believe the PFA are supportive, but there are an awful lot of players who each have to agree their own compromise deals. Most of them expected their compromise payments to start last year and they haven't yet started so we are having to talk about such things as payment of arrears, when the four years payment period starts, assignment of parachute payments etc. I can't be more specific or say anything about individual players, but it has obviously become more difficult as time has passed. The bottom line is that if the PFA don't feel able to agree our proposal, the football league won't agree, we will be liquidated and the players will get naff all. I don't believe for one second that we all can't reach agreement, but this situation is typical of what we have had to deal with. I originally commented on this thread to try to explain how complicated this has been since day one and I've probably now said more than I should Another obstacle presents itself !!

Frank's cousin Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 To be Fair, they can take a stance that its not right to blame the club for the cheating - but ONLY if they then acknowledge that any results and success built with it is null and void and means nothing to them.... because whether the 'club' was at fault or not, it was the club and fans who gained and advantage from it.... In the leagl world, you are not innocent if you have benefitted from teh proceeds of crime and think that analogy works here to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Expecting ex-players to compromise on their compromise agreements which were made after they had already compromised their wages as agreed in their legally binding contracts. Nice. I expect the players will be on to the PFA right now telling them to get the next PP paid directly into their accounts before the fishy ones steal even more from them.

View From The Top Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 One of the FL stipulations was that agreed deals with players must be met in full & that PP payments were to be used for that purpose. If the trust is now attempting to get the PFA to rip that up & renegotiate then that is very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 The Premier League will divert all remaining parachute payments (assuming there are ANY remaining) direct to football creditors. The club will not receive any further payments. Just where this leaves the proposed loan from Portsmouth City Council is anyone's guess - but if I had to guess I would say dead in the water.

ottery st mary Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 (edited) It would appear from the posting from POL that the PST want to renegotiate those agreements. That was my understanding. But as mentioned the players have already been renogotiated down several times.. Not so sure the PFA/players/FL will allow this to carry on.. Hence the fact FL have not accepted any takeover to date re Golden share etc. The question asked to date and still going unanswered is.... Show us the colour of your money....after you have paid out what you are obliged to pay.. Even a hand full of further pledged money leaves them at least 5 mil short even to get to the start line. LIQUIDATION.... PS The Harris fronted scam was as stated a SHAM........There was never any evidence they would have paid the 10-20 mil just to get to the start line or even apply for the Golden Share.

The Kraken Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 It would appear from the posting from POL that the PST want to renegotiate those agreements. I'm not so sure. Old Spice is a PDT committee member and he has stated: The PFA have to agree. The players will get their £8M+ as promised if we take over and nothing if they scupper the deal. PKF can't take the offer to court unless everything is in place to complete on the day. If the PDT are paying £8M+ then that's full payment of the agreed deferrals. The only negotiation tactic would therefore be a change to the payment dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest increase to £3m on the FP offer is just a small sight of that. I hope the former Pompey players say eff off for once and for all.
