Golden Balls Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Does anyone else get really p1ssed off with their myths, as opposed to laughing at them? I'm sick of reading them. Nazi tank driver, nazi gold money, thinking they're biggest club in the south, that they didn't cheat, that they've been hard done by, that their away following (and home support) are really something special, that we're laden with massive, crippling debt... f()ck, I hate reading their rubbish, it's annoying. Worse still, if you so much as dare to challenge them then they spin out another myth (or better still, profanity-laden retort) that absolutely holds no truth other than whatever goes through their imbecilic, backward skulls. They should have died. I can only hope the PDT gives us some more laughs. Nah. I laugh at them and prove them wrong. So funny watching them back tracking to "yeah, well...4-1 twice mush" Yeah, well...5-1 three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wifes family are all skates and the best way to wind them up is not to talk about football, just give them a silly grin and when they ask about Saints I just say things like "i would rather talk about tax evasion or charity fiddling or facilities at training grounds etc" Living here in border country sightings of skate blue shirts is getting a rare sight by the day, with whole squads at the local youth football club being saints not a skate in sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 18 May, 2013 Share Posted 18 May, 2013 Did anything ever get published from the court case as (I think) the judge said it would very soon. How is their level of transparency going, is everything now in place, all the appointments made and all go for next season. I've read so much on here that I have forgotten what the latest is.

rallyboy Posted 19 May, 2013 Share Posted 19 May, 2013 No big transfers pending but with decent crowds for League Two and the opportunity to borrow the PP money they can push the boat out a bit on wages. Not that they would, with creditors still waiting. After all they are sticklers for clearing debt before going on mad spending sprees. I'm still not convinced that the eagle eye of the Football League overseeing their every move will be any more effective than it was last time, so I fully expect to see a promotion push fuelled by the odd unusual signing. But I'm more interested in our game today that is worth a few quid and a lot of pride - but compared with the last two years, it has absolutely zero riding on it, which suits me fine. But it must be a bitter blow for all those fans of Redknapp, and the many people to the east who assured us we would be finishing with the lowest points total ever, and even this week informed everyone that we were a club in crisis and massive debt, with no one at the helm, and no future. Mind the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 21 May, 2013 Share Posted 21 May, 2013 It all kicked off at Portsmouth mayormaking... Trust-supporting councillors decided that in the new era of community and 'all moving forward together' they would hold an impromptu public inquest and hanging on the vote on council funding going into the black hole that is fortress fatpipes. In front of foreign visitors and assembled guests, the council chief named those that opposed the rushing through of cash and demanded apologies, but this rather vulgar action resulted in most councillors walking out of the ceremony. The main target, whose crimes were wanting to know why the funding was rushed through and demanding assurances on the original loan terms, seems to have been on the wrong end of vilification for being a dirty scummah who wanted them liquidated. All part of the new era where everyone stands together and those that opposed the Trust are welcomed aboard as part of the bestest community club the world will ever see.

It has taken effing years and we've had numerous managers lying about the costs, local sponsors shafted, fans misled, BUT it seems that the penny has finally dropped. This could be the new austerity era, the one that should have started years ago. Funny how expenditure is reduced when it's your own money. Well done pompey, this looks like the first attempt at solvent trading in a decade.

MLG, the skates have had quite an unbelieveable slice of luck here do you agree? Skates bombed out of the PL as the first ever club in admin, in the year the PL parachutes more than doubled along with the timeframe... its almost as if it was rushed through to stop the skates liquidating and exposing Redknapp, Storrie, Scudamore, Zahivi and presumably many more. ... Followed by another stroke of huge fortune by the increase in broadcasting royalties this year, kind of a double bonus really, wouldnt have imapcted the skates without the original slice of luck. As SWF chief statistician , would you be able to compare the difference in revenues they would have received without these mental increases against what they are going to end up with? Those parachutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 21 May, 2013 Share Posted 21 May, 2013 For a starter, the 4 year parachutes were £16m/£16m/£8m/£8m from 2010 so worth £48m. Until 2010 they were 2 years and £16m each year, so they were already £16m better off and that gave them an extra year. They also had their first PP advanced, and any economist will tell you there's more value in money you are holding. Even the flipping article uses them for the photo ! : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1276538/Premier-League-years-parachute-payments-worth-48m-relegated-clubs.html However, the final "£8m" year will be more anyway, though not sure how much more has been confirmed yet ?
