Pompey - still at it

[severnside gull]

The other south coast club have reportedly paid former Chief Executive, Peter Storrie, a total of £87,000 in consultancy fees since he stood down 5 months ago.

This in addition to paying Premiership level salaries to new players while still being unable to service their debts.

Still in administration and still not docked any points despite League rules...............

Total Wankfest at the South Coast's biggest eyesore.

I guess Storrie needs some sort of income now that the gravy train of bonuses for player sales has been removed.

Interesting that he has been involved with Notts County, Portsmouth, Southend Utd and West Ham. All four suffered a financial meltdown at some point.

Is he any good at his job?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

I think you have answered your own question BoF.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Is he any good at his job?

He must be! Because people KEEP paying him! This is regardless of his obvious f*** ups.

He is laughing all the way to the bank!

 

[severnside gull]

hard to reconcile that the person responsible for taking the club into such a state of financial meltdown that they were unable to estimate their debts and their best professional "guestimate" proved to be 50% out, can be awarded a monthly stipend nearly the equivalent of the national average annual wage.

What consultancy services can he possibly be providing that an honest administrator could justify?

And the spending goes on............

i also heard they were paying scouts roughly 30 grand when they had the transfer embargo

A month?

 

[shoreham moonraker]

no idea, maybe that was total amount whilst the embargo was in place, still seems a waste of 30 grand.

Ignoring the figure and the embargo, I assume they were scouting and planning for the future for when the embargo was lifted.

Four out of the five signings since they came out of the embargo have been from Stoke. So in actual fact, I have changed my mind and decided it was a waste of money!

Indeed - Cotterill could have done (and probably did do) that by himself over the phone

Yeah, I mean you'd really need a scout to tell you what Dave Kitson and Liam Lawrence had to offer, wouldn't you?

They really are an utter disgrace, and the worst thing is, they now appear to be staging a recovery of sorts on the pitch (no surprise when you look at their team), and thus continued to be rewarded, not punished, for their outrageous cheating.

I'm just putting in a call to Hampshire Police by the way, to report the disappearance of six thousand of the Greatest Fans In The World(c), none of whom have been seen since April this year.

When I worked at County Hall in Lewes a few years back their was a Pompey fan who worked in the Post Room who was a total BELLEND.

Everytime, and I mean EVERYtime, I saw him he would say "Poor old Brighton" and laugh to himself as he wandered off. He was the smuggest football fan I have ever met.

How things are about to change. I miss him now!

You can tell that's a fake poster. That woman flashing her tits is clearly a complete pikey and therefore far too good looking to be seen at Pompey.

It is quite good though. Where did you get it from?

 

[Gwylan]

lolol:

Marvellous stuff Edna

The inside of my bored imagination

I tell you what though, male or female, they're a classy lot aren't they? You can't ever take that away from them.

They don't seem to be reacting with fury. The quote from the supporters association is quite mild and the article in question has not been inundated with messages.

Perhaps I am being a bit unfair, but apart from the odd march and a few fans outside the high court, they have been rather lukewarm about all the goings on. I guess an FA Cup win, a European adventure (albeit a short one) and Premier League football was enough to appease them. Perhaps it would enough for every club?

This quote is hilarious;

"Since administrators took over, income has exceeded expenditure by around £300,000."

Even the ruddy administrator is incompetent!
