saintjay77 Posted 23 October, 2010 Share Posted 23 October, 2010 So is Gaydemak really about to sign or was his statement earlier just to stop him looking so bad to the blue few? Finger was pointing at him to be the one to ruin them but now everyone thinks it's going to be A OK. What if he is only going to sign if the technical details he wants sorted are done? If he doesn't sign he can throw the blame back to the others for messing it all about. I think there is still a chance that it won't be over tonight and there may be a few more twists yet to turn.

Matthew Le God Posted 23 October, 2010 Share Posted 23 October, 2010 Paul Duffen(sp)the ex Hull chairman is rumoured to be wanting to invest/purchase PFC. It is more than just a rumour, the BBC/ExpressFM have direct quotes from him... Meanwhile, former Hull chairman Paul Duffen has put together a consortium that is interested in taking over Portsmouth. "I have been monitoring the situation at Portsmouth for several months and trying to do a deal for some weeks," Duffen told Express FM. "I have a fully funded bid ready to go. Duffen was part of a consortium that bought the Tigers from Adam Pearson in June 2007, the year before they were promoted to the Premier League. They began the 2008-09 season well but struggled towards the end of the season and only escaped relegation on the last day of the campaign. Duffen stepped down as executive chairman of the club and Superstadium Management Company Ltd in October 2009, with Pearson returning to the club as chairman. In February Hull settled a financial dispute with Duffen out of court "on terms satisfactory to the club", after accusing their former chairman of spending company money for his own personal use. The club had also alleged Duffen's company received payments from agents in return for using those agents to deal with the transfer of players. Duffen had denied the allegations at a preliminary hearing at the High Court. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/9120575.stm So another possible owner with a case to answer in the High Court! They sure do attract them! Unlikely any clean businessmen would see them as an attractive investment proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 (edited) This isn't a surprise. Chanrai needs the club to trade long enough to pick up the parachute payments. This latest event was a sideshow. The events to come: - Who is in the new consortium? - Why did AA make it so difficult for Lever? - When will Golden Share transfer? - Will the court cases bring a points deduction? - Will they stick to CVA? - Now it is his money will the big wages continue?

sidthesquid Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 A little bit more of my fading love of football has gone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/9121791.stm It's not just because it's Pompey. It's not just because Saints (& Salisbury, too) tried to play fair when they got into trouble and got royally shafted. It's because throughout all of this they have lied, CHEATED, deceived us as taxpayers, stolen from charities and then after all that they have still continued to try and spend their way back to the Prem. The whole game is tainted by the rotting fish stench of their corruption and is proof that, sadly, CHEATS do prosper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjay77 Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 So when does AA liquidate the old company and whats the odd's on him finding out that everything was absolutly peachy all along? In a way I suppose its good that they are still in business, its not a nice thought for any club to go to the wall but it's galling to see how much they have flicked the V's to the rules and got points of other teams who are at least trying to manage there finances correctly. Feels like they have come through this situation without being punished for all there wrongs. After all of this I dont hold out much hope that the tax evasion cases will come to anything either.

JackFrost Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 they don't need it. their wages are completely unsustainable at their current level. They are doing exactly the same thing now as they were doing under Storrie. Plus their current owner is an asset stripper and a money lender. Chainrai doesn't want to put money into the club he wants to take money OUT of it. Financially speaking they've been saved by the grim reaper.

OldNick Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 it was like watching the Graet train robbery unfolding in front of your eyes and the authorities not answering the 999 call. So sadly 'pompey will get away with ' has morphed to 'pompey got away with it' I now await the smug crew return. As I said to Phil yesterday it is vomit time form now on. As they go and push on for promotion with a damned good squad. the only thing may be that Stoke may get a decent bid for Lawrence and they dont go through with his transfer. The FL showed no balls and again I said that the ex Leicester chairman who would be mates with MM at the top instead of Malwinney played into their hands as well.

DS Posted 24 October, 2010 Share Posted 24 October, 2010 And no, this thread is not over, there will still be a long way to go just remember, this is not about a Football Club, it is about money In Thread We Trust. I think there will be plenty more opportunities to lol at our fishy friends in the next year or so. Also, for me at least, as well as being a great opportunity for lolage at the cod botherers, this thread provides an insight into all that is wrong with the greedy & corrupt world of modern football. The fact that the skates are the case study used to represent this is just a happy coincidence imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
