That's not an opinion, it's FACT.They are currently hassling a client of ours for £800. Threatening baliffs etc despite the fact that the debt was £5k and is being paid regularly.Other clients owe tens of thousands and haven't even had a letter.It has become a pathetic and nonsensical organisation but hey, they keep me in a job.
This is what Portsmouth FC can offer a potential buyer1: A business that spends more each month than it gets in2: A delapidated stadium that needs serious cash spent on it to increase the capacity3: A few players on long term contracts, the rest are out in the summer or on loan3:£60m+ of unservicable debts4:Almost certain relegation from the Premiership.5: No training facility6:Youth team/accademy dissbanded
I have just realised that I am excited about liquidation.The reason I have stopped my season ticket over the past few years is that I decided not to keep subsidising the players and their ridiculous wages. The players car park at FP was a little vision on where some of where my money was ending up, stories of the likes of Defoe and their ridiculous demands took me over the egde and into the relevant safety of my armchair, albeit filling Murdochs pockets instead.The excitement of liquidation comes from not really knowing whats going to happen other than we turn our persepctive on its head and can start looking on one direction, upwards. Just thinking that Gosport or Havant could be our closest rivals and that our furthest away game may end up being near the M25 rather than Newcastle leaves me feeling dizzy at the thought. 'If your all going to Staines clap your hands' has a certain charm to it.Whenever I have gone to non-league games at any level I have always liked the thought that getting a burger took no longer than a couple of minutes and there is something beautiful in hearing the manager screaming obscenties at his players with perfect clarity wherever you stand in the ground. The thought of us taking 2-3000 to an away game makes me laugh and we really could mean it when singing 'who are ya?' to the likes of Bashley FC, brilliant!Whatever level we descend to I have vowed to buy a season ticket again and will probably be joined by several of my friends and family who have all abstained in recent seasons for reasons not unlike my own. So exciting is the prospect that I am actually looking forward to whats happening with our club presently. We are doomed to relegation and not much points to survival at any realistically decent level in the first four divisions so why not take the route from the bottom upwards, at least it will end up back with the fans, and more importantly for the fans.The most enjoyable times watching the club for me was when the likes of Noel Blake and Mick Tait would drink shoulder to shoulder with the rest of at Cowplain Social Club, the worst of times watching some kids being blanked by the likes of Defoe and co as they slink off to their supercars in a car park owned by a club that cant even afford a bit of tarmac for them to park on!So I say lets get off to the B and Q Southern Section Div 4 Sunday league and start again and lets get back to having fun and stop the mediocre likes of Steven Ireland spunking hundreds and thousands of OUR money on pathetic things to fill their empty lives like £100k fish tanks and £250k 'pimp my ride' Bentleys for the 'pimp my wag' bitches. Lets get back to enjoying watching OUR money going into the pockets of the likes of Blake and Tait who, if your lucky enough, buy you a pint or two if you happen to be standing next to them in the bar of your local social club.
Oh and re Saturday's game. Yeah of course I would have taken a point at Elland Rd before the game (as so many people have kindly pointed out) but NOT LIKE THAT!
Really could do with Rooney getting a hatrick against West Ham tomorrow before I get left trailing a distant 2nd! Hopefully a Wes Brown red card and Evra gets the assists too
Ashley Cole has been making the headlines recently and rumours now abound that he may be on his way out of Stamford Bridge. How vital is he to Chelsea though? The Blues have won their last eight Premier League games in which he hasn't featured without conceding a single goal. In fact, since his first league appearance ...for Chelsea, they have not lost a single one of the 30 games where he hasn't been on the pitch.
Relegation confirmed for Portsmouth. As P&A, KPMG etc fall over each other to get the administrators job. Should mean that the team can at least finish the season. I just feel sorry for all the small businesses that will have been shafted so that Defoe et al could buy another Bentley.
