Handy Andy is Bullsh*ting,,,(hes good at it) Gayboy dos not own Frogmore road, apsly road, or Dog**** ally, Which are the only ways to enter FP,

 

Where does the coach for the visiting teams, match officials cars, emergency services, etc go? Do you think your next opponents will be happy being dropped off at the end of Dog**** alley and told to walk the rest of the way?

Up until a few years ago this so called (car park, waste ground) was a jungle of 10 foot high blackberry bushes, and other *****ly, stingy, bitey, nastes, no team coach or emergency services then, Coach can drop visiting team off at main entrance,(like they do now) and then park in PFC shop car park, The main entrance on frogmore road opens up which can be used by any emergency service right on to the pitch....As i said before Don't be taken in by AA bullsh*t, Unless you are a Beak!:D

 

ps i am available for guided tours of said car park, waste ground, Dog**** ally, for the price of a pie and pint:smug:

The vast majority of Pompey fans have shown respect and they are to be thanked for that. Every club has its fair degree of nobbers, though they would appear to have more than most.

 

I actually put it down to jealousy. It is not that Markus lumped in pots of money, in fact that he would have invested similar amounts to that the Gaydamark and Chanrai 'claim' to have into the skates, but that he was a decent honest man who wanted nothing from the club but success achieved through good honest ethics, attacking flare and a sense of community.

 

As well as saving us Markus brought unity, belief and pride back to our club.

 

Maybe one day they'll be as lucky as us.

When it comes down to it, to move forward as a club you need to accept what has happened, and move on.

 

Truth be told, there are a lot of Pompey fans who still can't see what their club has done wrong...and what it continues to do wrong..(i.e sidestepping the transfer embargo)..

 

They've got a long way to go - a much longer journey than we had.

If only others in society today could realise the importance of these values, we would all be so much better off !

Everything about Markus was modest but determined, he epitomised decency and restraint !

He was everything that the recent Skate owners were not, let's all hope that his legacy continues in the same vein !

He was just on SSN saying "they aren't in the position they were a couple of weeks ago, so don't have to sell".......makes my blood boil, cheating barstewards.:x

Suddenly their debts are not as big as previously used by AA for the CVA vote and to screw HMRC?

Quelle surprise. :x

Clutching at straws at a sensitive time... bitter, bitter, bitter

This is tame to alot of what I've seen, but just typifies many Skates.

 

"Do one, you six fingered retards"

 

No Crabby,, its exactly what happened Jim Gregory had ill health when he took us on, He sold QPR after having Heart attacks But could not leave football out of his life, His son Martin inherited us and made it clear football was not his game He started ringing us out like a wet flannel to fuel his jet-set way of life.

You don't need family like that taking over.

Our hands are tied. All the players we wanted to bring in on wages of £4,000, £5,000, £6,000, £7,000 have already been snapped up. The Football League really need to take a look at this embargo situation for the next club in our situation because it's actually preventing us signing players within our budget.

I can see it now: "Well we had to sign matey on £20k pw, FL, because you forced us to do it".

You could not be more wrong mack rill. My dad worked for JIM Gregory when he owned Blue Star garages, and he'll confirm thay all Gregory did was asset strip a blue chip company, and that's what he started to do with the Blue Company. You're rose tinted specs probably don't let you see that whilst he owned Poorsmouth, he was also breaking the rules about ownership as QPR at the time was owned by Blue Star Ltd (see the connection?). All this led my dad to disown anything to do with Gregory and that included the poor excuse of a football club. You have a history of being owned by people looking to only line their own pockets, and most have been quite unsavoury.

I don't supposed they ever considered going into the £2 or £3k/week market more appropriate to a club that has just defrauded us taxpayers of £20million pounds.

Couple of points here.

 

1. Sad that Liebherr's died, especially at that age. No age at all really.

 

2. Can understand you getting upset at what some Pompey fans wrote on a few boards (although not POL, can't see what would cause a real problem there). However, if you think Saints fans wouldn't have done the same if the roles had been reversed, you're mistaken. Remember the B.anter board that someone set up and the stuff that got posted on there. The board that had the worst comments about Liebherr is pretty much the equivalent of B.anter so whilst I can't tell you to ignore it, at least put it into context. There are fans at every club who'll say or post something to get a reaction and Saints are no different.

 

3. Ref the land Gaydamak owns and people not being able to get into the ground. Did any of you who went to the last few games at Fratton ever have to cross that car park to get into the ground? Exactly. It's not a problem.

 

4. On the subject of Jim Gregory, are you confusing him with his son Martin? Jim was a very good businessman but our problems started when he became ill and his Martin took over. Martin ****ed up the Blue Star business to such an extent that it was on the verge of going under. To keep it going, he took out a number of loans secured against PFC and it was this that caused us to go into admin and nearly out of existence before Mandaric bought us. Once again PFC suffered because of the actions of an individual, not through any fault of the clubs or the fans. That was the Pompey posters point about Liebherr's family taking over as there are paralells with what happened to us with the Gregory's. Not saying the same will happen but the circumstances are similar

Re some inappropriate comments on Markus Liebherr.

 

I can't honestly put my hand on my heart and say that all Saints 'fans' would have been restrained with their comments if a saviour of PFC had died.

 

However I notice that quite a few comments have been made justifying these inappropriate comments, indicating that Saints fans had reacted in a similar way when Aaron Flahaven died.

 

My memory may be a bit vague on the matter but I don't seem to remember anything other than sympathy from this part of Hampshire as both he and his brother were local Harefield lads (i think) and used to socialise with some of the Saints players at the time

The comments that were posted the evening he died have been removed or replaced. I am glad someone has some sense.

 

No comments have been removed or replaced from POL, largely because there were none that deserved to be removed or replaced. The posts on the other board are also still there.

 

Please don't try and make out that what Pompey fans posted was worse than it was. The great majority showed respect for his death. Some expressed an opinion that his death meant no more to them than any stranger dying which is their opinion and fair comment.

Fans from all clubs are ******s in a high proportion. Still, you have PFC W******d, thus trumping most others.

 

I was discussing W******d and someone asked if he was 'a full packet of biscuits'.

 

A P*mpey fan I was with said "Yes, he's a full packet of biscuits. But they're all broken."

 

That made me :lol:

No Ho, Jim had set all the wheels in motion - it was he who sold Blue Star to Amoco having already sold off thr profitable parts. You saw Martin struggling to play a really sh!t hane his father left him. I'm not defending Martin, but the start of your problems were with Jim - just look at the incestuous realtionship you had with QPR. Didn't he sell to Venables, remind me of the clubs he had connections to in London that start with a Q?

Im pretty sure there was some comments that were copied to here from over there that have since been removed from both sites.

 

It sounds like its the minority as usual but it also sounds like FMPR who posts here was also pretty tastless over there in what must have been an attempt to impress the Blue Few.

 

The basic mentality from your lot doesnt make the rest of the fans look to clever. Im sure there are decent fans there and as some have commented there seems to be a decent level of respect for someone who has just passed away. But dont try and make out that you dont have a bunch of goons that follow your club who dont give a rats ass about anything other than there income support payment and acting like pr*cks.

Corpy Ho Ho Ho, now you are back among us, can you give your thoughts on Mandaric?

 

Any chance do you think of him returning seeing as he's sold up in Leicester?

 

There were sightings earlier today of someone wearing a hard hat and driving a JCB south on the M1. I'm saying nothing.

 

No, like the other poster said, I think he actually has a stake in the consortium that's taken over Leicester so can't see him coming back. But with Mad mandy anything's possible

 

No Ho, Jim had set all the wheels in motion - it was he who sold Blue Star to Amoco having already sold off thr profitable parts. You saw Martin struggling to play a really sh!t hane his father left him. I'm not defending Martin, but the start of your problems were with Jim - just look at the incestuous realtionship you had with QPR. Didn't he sell to Venables, remind me of the clubs he had connections to in London that start with a Q?

 

No, he didn't sell to Venables. That was Martin Gregory. All our problems started after Jim became ill and Martin took over. I don't even remember us having a particularly close relationship to QPR. Remind me of what you're referring to here. He appointed John Gregory as manager and after that Jim Smith and both had worked under him at QPR but there's nothing else I can really remember.

 

Im pretty sure there was some comments that were copied to here from over there that have since been removed from both sites.

 

It sounds like its the minority as usual but it also sounds like FMPR who posts here was also pretty tastless over there in what must have been an attempt to impress the Blue Few.

But dont try and make out that you dont have a bunch of goons that follow your club who dont give a rats ass about anything other than there income support payment and acting like pr*cks.

 

There were no posts removed from POL, all still there. I repeat, stop trying to make an issue out of something that doesn't exist. As for your "bunch of goons" comment it's pathetic. Pompey have fans like any other club, Saints included. Some good, some bad. If you think you don't have your own goons remind me which club has twice had sets of fans jailed for football violence, put an opposing fan into a coma by beating them with a baseball bat and seen reports of trouble after almost every home game - clue: it isn't Pompey.

 

Look chaps, I'm not trying to score cheap points here, especially at what I understand is a sad time for you but comments like these by SaintJay sound like a 14 year old (I don't know, maybe he is but his name suggests he's in his 30's). I refer you back once again to the B.anter board that one of your lot set up when the old Banter board closed down and the type of comments that were posted on there. You've got fans who are capable of posting stuff just as bad as the Pompey fans have done in this instance and if you think they wouldn't do it if the situation was reversed you're in denial.

******s exchanged today, just a few more papers to sort

 

One thing I'm sure of is more dirty dealing, overpaying players and wriggling out of debt and wracking up new debt as Chainrai will give it one big shot at getting back to the Prem, and if they succeed it will be the biggest travesty of justice since I don't know when.

 

Actually, thinking about it, I do know when - the 2008 Cup Final......

I think this thread should be left open until the CVA is completed in 5 years time. Still plenty of milage in it yet if they fail to meet the terms of the CVA at any point.

 

Maybe it should be renamed to 'The thread formally known as the Pompey Takeover Saga'?

So he gets the club for nothing then.

 

Let's work out why it was 16 mil shall we?

 

The 16mil is what he already loaned them and had guaranteed against yep - one year's parachute payments, the others going to pay the football debts

 

Lol.

 

Still a LONG way to run.

 

The article states he will buy the club in three weeks - why wait ANOTHER three weeks?

 

He was going through the F&PPT BEFORE the last court case - pretty sure it doesn't take 6 weeks to pass or fail, after all they managed to pass the non-existent owner in a day!!! - he doesn't actually have to provide any money, just guarantee the £16m, and since that's coming from the parachute payments, that one's easy.

 

So, why the delay?

 

Is it because the transfer window will be closed then, and the man who has no interest in running a football club doesn't want to put any money into it, just take money out?
