SimonL Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 If it happens I hope the rest of the football world sits up and takes notice. Reckless spending has caused this. I can see Cardiff going this way if they are not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What annoys me even more, is that portsmouth fans seem to think they are owed something etc. None of the football world cared when chester etc went out of business.

Crackers Corner Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't understand how they have the nerve to sign kitson and lawrence after just coming out of administration. And now they have the nerve to pile emotional blackmail on them to quit and lose their missed wages?. Pompey just don't learn. If I were them I would feel no guilt refusing to these demands. They were clearly brought to the club under false pretences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanaticRed Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 +1 we should enquire at least about him Exactly, we could get him at a bargain fee plus no one else has signed him yet & its nearly August! he can play Right back & Centre back, would be a good option if were looking at alternatives toMark Wilson who we can no longer sign due to injury...

SimonL Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 The thing I find astounding is after being in administration for the 2nd time they are giving just 2p in the pound owed to debtors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Why dont we take Greg Halford off them? If he was half decent and on sensible wages then surely he would have been snapped up by now?

kit Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 If they don't ado that and Pompey go under they will get paid every penny that is owed to them under the football creditors rule while all other creditors get a few pence in the pound. So what makes you think they'll chuck hundreds of thousands of pounds away ? It aint like they're all from Portsmouth and have some allegiance to the club. i may be wrong but i dont think the football creditors rule will not matter if they go under as the fa wont have any power because portsmouth would be chucked out of the league. so then the players will be treated the same a everyone else.

They have made their beds and its time to lie in it i think. It's not that simple. Once the rich foreign businessmen have moved on relatively in tact it's the fans who will be left to pick up the pieces for the rest of eternity. Difficult to see how you can't sympathise with that thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ben haim is owed 2.5m, I would not walk away from that Well, so he says. He's on £36k a week contract with a league one team and been on this sort of ridiculous figure for years, even though in my humble opinion he's a no better player than Jamie McAllister. I think a better indication of the sort of bloke he is was when he refused to even stop and talk to the fans yesterday who were trying to get the remaining 8 to rip up their contracts, in contrast to David Norris, who courteously did so. I think he's a a parasite, a clear example of why people fall out of love with football, with mediocrity like him being paid far too much (and yes, I know Pompey offered him the deal) and an unpleasant, selfish individual all round.

SimonL Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Exactly, Ben Haim is no doubt set up for life on monies already earned (unlike our Ashton Gate 8 as per the Daily Mail link above) I just feel for some of the creditors who are desparate for the money.

westonred Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 How come they can still afford to send the players away to a training camp in Spain last week ? surely they should not be spending the little money they have left on things like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
