dubai_phil Posted 29 January, 2010 Share Posted 29 January, 2010 The appliance of rocket science. It seems pretty clear that our deluded friends believed that they would have sold the club, found a new investor to con or got Ocean Finance to stump up by now. Clearly Grant's previous statements about not making player sales but adding to the squad show him to also live in la-la land as he believed what he was being told (unlike us wise 9,850+ posters) So suddenly on Thursday it becmae clear to this week's owner that there were no fools with money left in the planet after the whole crash and so panic mode has set in. How much can they get in? They will have no care for the value of any squad player, only how much cash they can get into their account before Sunday. Alongside this, they will be begging their creditors that aren't sueing them to accept new payment plans, all the while hoping that the cash from Kaboul etc will cover the bills this weekend. And they seem to be doing ALL of this without using any of their Directors. Jacobs, & storrie aren't involved, the owner will be at his Mosque in Saudi today (they take their Friday's very seriously) so the whole shooting match is now a one man band. If I was a few, I'd be very worried today about what money gets moved to which creditor in the next 48 hours. While the UK law may be quite clear as to who is in the pecking order, the motley crew owning the place really don't care too much, extradition isn't easy from Israel, Saudi & the UAE for UK company law cases. Could take years to solve by which time they'll all be saying oh sorry, didn't understand... But of course if somoeone found a memo or email showing that the Directors knew what has been going on, then the few would get their revenge quite easily...... just forward it to the DPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dronskisaint Posted 29 January, 2010 Share Posted 29 January, 2010 He could always resign and then sue for constructive dismissal. I'm way behind so this may have been said... If Storrie puts his record on the line at an industrial tribunal they'd turn up enough dirt to send him & several others down...fun thought but it won't happen. While he clings to his job you can bet you a*se that he will make sure he gets paid way ahead of players, office staff or creditors & will go on the list of preferred payees as he is an employee despite his culpability in creating the situation. No sympathy for the inbreds but if I were them (sorry, just the regulation number of fingers) I'd be lining Story teller & Redcrap up against the wall along with the fake sheiks.

So unlikely the embargo will be back in place before the end of the transfer window.

pedg Posted 29 January, 2010 Share Posted 29 January, 2010 http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=733095&sec=england&cc=5739 A close associate of Avram Grant has told Soccernet that the Portsmouth manager will be in the dugout at Manchester City on Sunday despite having "had enough" of the situation at Fratton Park. The source revealed that Grant is due to cancel Friday's press conference as he believes answering questions would further damage his slim chances of keeping the club alive in the Premier League. With Younes Kaboul, Asmir Begovic, Aruna Didane and Mike Williamson already on their way out of Fratton Park, Grant is understood to be deeply concerned as he thought that the club would do everything in their power to keep their best players.
