Corporate Ho Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 Classy I wonder if your employer would like to know how you spend your working day Not me saying it Granty but quite a few of the posters on the Pompey websites seem pretty upset with him and you know I'm not the only Pompey fan who loks at this board.

Isnt that just adding to debt ot has it gone so far he cant back down now? 2. Why haven't the FL imposed the same penalty as we had for our 'parent company' administration? Was thinking about that. The only reason I can think of is the 'good money after bad' syndrome. He would prefer some idiot to buy the club as that would give him more chance of getting his money back (now owed to him by CSI or PFC?) If the clubruns out of money in the meantime he will have much less chance of a sale. So he's lending, and no doubt secured as tightly as he can get it, the extra £1mill in an attempt to improve his chances of getting back his £17? £18? million. The really inexpicable thing was is why did he get involved in the first place? I've heard people say his feud with Gaydamak may explain that, but it makes to sense to me.

stevegrant Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 He had a fixed and floating charge on basically everything when he owned the club, not sure what the situation is now he's not the owner. While I can see the appeal of waiting to see if another mug does come in and take over the debts, and therefore pumping another load of money in to keep things ticking over, surely there comes a time where Chainrai has to think "**** this"?

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 . . . . Don't you think if there was something fishy (pun not intended) with the Cala story, someone on the newsdesk might have spotted it and asked questions? The skate reporters among them would have probably stuck their webs in their gills and performed the News Of The World routine while shouting "La la la la we can't hear you".

Micky Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 Dunno what the excitement is about So you found out the identity of someone who posts on here, and lolz lolz, hes got an ordinary middle class class job with a respectable brand. Hardly worth a couple of pages is it? Had you not posted it in plain english then I wouldn't have had a clue what all the fuss was about anyway. The last 4 pages have gone right over me so if there is any 'scandal' worthy of any bribary, I have completely missed the opportunity. I'm afraid the thread has become all too cryptic to make any real sence of now - right out of my depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that just adding to debt ot has it gone so far he cant back down now? 2. Why haven't the FL imposed the same penalty as we had for our 'parent company' administration? Purely speculative, but couldn't the answer to question 1 is that if Pompey don't pay the wages then they could move into administration. Thus they would only pay their creditors a % of what they are owed ? So Chenrai could get 5p in the £1, which would be a heck of a loss. Alternatively, if they go into administration and are deducted 10 points then they also become less attractive to potential suitors, so they could go completely under and he could lose part of investment anyway. Previously Chenrai had a secured loan, so he was guarenteed his money, but perhaps that situation has changed when CSI bought the club. Either way, I think Chenrai has to keep Pompey alive and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up as owner of Pompey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 .

St. Neil Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 Talking of facebook more from Brian Howe I am being inundated with questions about whether I am involved in negotiations with Portsmouth Football regarding taking over the club. I stated a week or so ago that I wasn't in the bidding but a lot can change in that time. I will make no statement or wild crazy crazy claims but trust me when I say that Pompey is not just a football team to me. For me to own the club and do right by it would be an honour to me. To be part of all my childhood dreams would mean more to me than any of the platinum records on my wall. I will make no false promises but if it can be done it will be. I can't promise a top 4 premiership team or throwing countless millions into the club but I can promise you a man born and bred in Portsmouth who has attended matches since 1966, who cares about the club and the fans that have been so badly abused for years. No promises, no silly claims but am I interested..............YES !!! And then in a comment he comes out with this gem. Brian Howe Trevor, I have no answers for you. I have signed a confidentiality contract with the club and i am going to uphold that. Unlike somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjay77 Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 (edited) If people posted on the internet with the assumption that their identity was known, perhaps there wouldn't be the level of abuse that is regularly seen on this and other forums. As many of the regulars may know, I was "outed" years ago by the BBC, when I used to post on 606. Never bothered me much and I took the banter with the humour you need to be a Saints fan. Corp Ho's post and the disclosure that the young lad who reports for the News is a Saints fan has led to unwarranted abuse, none of which would be tolerated if he was black or homosexual. You only have to watch the faces in the crowd at the last derby to see what bigoted hatred can do to even the most middle class 50 year old. BTW, here's the old link that outed me, together with an even older photo, just to show what a good sport I am! Christ you talk some crap on there.
