Clubs in trouble

[Villa'Zawg]

Redknapp might have suggested the players, but ultimately Storrie will have sanctioned the deals, and I imagine he would have been the one who saw the wider picture and should have known better.

Surely HR has to take some responsibility for the dire state Pompey are in.

Ever since what happened at Leeds when DOL and Ridsdale bought players for ridiculous sums and wages, every manager and chairman should have been wary.

I think the way 'Arry involves himself in transfer deals, especially the financial side means he should have been aware, or at least been cautious when doing the deals he did. At best he turned a blind eye to whether Pompey could afford the players or not.

According to Wiki, which isn't always wrong, Storrie was recommended to Pompey by 'arry.

Storrie is responsible for the money spent and finances behind it, 'arry is responsible for the players being naff and most having bugger all re-sale value.

Maybe they could raffle off that fucking bell to raise some cash?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I take it they won't be building that fantastic, state of the art, new stadium in the coming weeks?

It's a shame they're not closer to Brum, they could have merged with the Rags to make a proper club.

[Dave Cooper please]

Apparently the Chester game was called off initially because the club could not find £675 to pay for the coach to take the players to the game.
The players fucked off home, and when club directors went to find them to take them in their own cars they could only rustle up eight!

This is from a Chester fan so may not be entirely true mind.

Don't you mean a completely and utterly hopeless club?

Actually, no - the shite manage to do that all on their own!

Storrie and Arry are linked way back when tehy were at West Ham it is inconcievable to think thaat Arry knew nothing of the risks taken.

MON tells us often enough he would not risk the future of the club, the wages they were paying Campbell, James, Diarra, Defoe it was obvious they were well over stretched and Arry would have known that too.

Otherwise why are Arry and Storrie battling the same IR case ?

Nobody suggested Harry knew nothing about it, the suggestion was that in the role he has, surely Storrie would have the ultimate last say?

Off on a tangent, isn't (or wasn't) he also the highest paid chief exec in the PL? More than Gill and the chap at Chelsea even

[Concrete John]

'arry, if you can believe a single word that comes out of his melting gob, said RVN's wages were too high for Spurs.  To me, that means he wanted him, but the club wouldn't sanction it.  Difference being at Portsmouth they probably would have.

That's the difference between a relatively well run and solvent club and Pompey, despite having the same manager.

both equally to blame and sensible rational manager knew what was likely to happen, and Arry does not play dumb when it comes to that. Otherwise why at Spurs is it clear he has no financial input at all, Levy does it all, why, because more than likely he does not trust him with money.

HMRC has insisted in court that Portsmouth is insolvement and they want a liquidation or that any adjournment (of said liquidation) should be very short.

I think that means administration the best Portsmouth FC can hope for.

I never thought we would see them go totally bust but if the HMRC are saying this I doubt it is often they get rejected. Pompey have never wanted to go into admin because it would totally open their books up and then we would see just how criminal the whole operation was, even now that option appears to be resisted.

Pompey fans have to look at this and wonder how this state came to be, but the PL was told 10 months ago that Gaydamek was still in charge and the raft of Israel lawyers and corrupt accountants at the club only emphasied this.

This will cause massive problems for the PL and Scudamore in particular as now it should mean all clubs funding should be open to scruntiny. The result should be that no club should be owned where the ownership or fiunding is anyway in doubt.

It will not of course.

Football supporters always believe the new owner/chairman is the Messiah.

They've got a 7 day adjournment. Well done to them.
