Pompey now trying a guilt trip on the remaining overpaid players!

Below is a copy of the letter which will be handed to Pompey players as they arrive at the training ground later this morning.


When you joined our football club certain promises were made to you, you signed a contract and on that basis and you have every right to demand what is justly yours.

With everything that has happened you, like us supporters, have every right to be angry, you are as much a victim of the incompetence that has left our club teetering on the brink of as anyone.

Now though you have the chance to write your name in the history of our club, the decisions that you make will decide whether one hundred and fourteen years of history come to an end. Generations of Pompey fans are praying that you are able to reach a compromise with the administrators and while legality and indeed morality are on your side, we can only appeal to your conscience.

While those who have done this squabble over the final remains of Portsmouth Football Club, without a care for those who have been put out of work, or the businesses forced to make cut backs because of non-payment, you can show the world that you care. You can save this club that so many of us care about, you can demonstrate that footballers aren’t the shallow, selfish people that is portrayed in the press.

We hope that with your help Pompey can survive and, under the ownership of the fans, can slowly but surely be turned around. We know that the potential sacrifice we are asking you to make is immense, but we will not survive without it.

Thank you

PLAY UP POMPEY

 

"Morality is on their side". Stretching it just a small bit...

 

and here's how the club have treated there so called fans over the past 2 years



Portsmouth - A 2010 CVA Victim RespondsPortsmouth are contacting the victims of the 2010 CVA (not a penny has been paid to them as yet) about voting to agree the 2012 CVA and then they will appeal against the 10 point penalty.

Here is a response from one of the 2010 CVA victims :-

'PFC have called on creditors from the 1st CVA (the ones who will only get back 0.4p in the pound) to help them appeal against their 10 point deduction for failing to honour the 1st CVA. This is one of the replies (I bet they don't send this to the Football League):

"A letter from a Pompey Fan:

Dear Pompey (whatever comany you are this 1/4er)

Your urgent request poped up on my RSS feed calling for CVA 2010 creditors to get in touch, so I felt obliged to contact you, although im not sure why really after the way PFC treats its local community, business partners and sponsors.

( http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/Latest...tors-3538.aspx )

So, you want me to confirm I am satisfied that the club I used to love ruined my life? How about a little background...

I would like to point out that I was a victim in the previous Portsmouth 2010 administration, and as such I no longer run my freelance photography business as a result of the clubs collapse. A few thousand pounds may not mean much in the world of football but to a one man band like myself it is enough to ruin you. I now work in a shop, but at least I managed to keep my mortgage repayments up.

Now, as you are aware us creditors were pushed (I wont go as far as blackmailed) into accepting a CVA which payed a dividend of 20% of the original debt. The payment schedule was over a period of five years, however our first installment was pushed back to 2012. This was never going to solve the problems this administration had placed on my business, as a sole trader I knew it would finish me off either way and as such I simply voted with little care for myself.

Whilst I found it incredibly disturbing and deeply insulting to see the club continuing to sanction player purchases and associated salaries, I understand football and the nature of the beast of remaining competitive so it was something I had to accept, even though I was unable to continue my freelance work with the club.

To see the club go back into administration again this season was simply staggering, and discovering they had racked up more dozens of millions of debt, whilst never getting round to paying mine or any other poor souls from the creditors meetings a penny of our dividend, left me in a state of almost shock.

I am currently receiving correspondence from PKF regarding the 2012 administration (despite having to wind my business up), and I am told the original 2010 CVA debt will now be diluted into a 2012 CVA, and as such the 20% dividend will now be 2% of 20%.

What a generous offer from Mr Chainrai!

As a result my original debt in full will have gone from approximately £3000 to £12, and more importantly without my consent this time round. Not that I really had a say last time round, as Andronikou kept finding more debts to the point he magically produced the 75% he needed to stop HMRC liquidating the club.

That is absolutely scandalous and I cant help but think that if I tried to behave like that, I would be in prison by now!

As I have mentioned, I had to wind my business (and dreams) up so the debts owed to me are irrelevant what ever percentage they finally decide this time round.


So thats my background. Now I will consider your question again, am I in favour of CVA MKI being diluted into CVA MKII without my consent?

Let me highlight the financial consideration again: £3000 * 20% * 2% = £12 (with no consent)

How about you go and choke. You can shove your CVA and stick your proposals on an expensive trip to Gibraltar. My life is in ruins because of your behaviour, I want to see PFC struck right down to the lowest level of the game, only then will I continue to support the club I formerly loved that destroyed everything I had built up.

I sincerely hope you can understand quite how much distress this has cause myself and my family.

Regards

Community Club of the year according to the FL. Farcical.

 

Should be shut down by now, they don't deserve to come back up.

Reyt load of sh*t.

 

You look at the sanctions Rangers have had put on them by the SFA and the FA's actions seem ridiculosly soft! They'd be kicked out of the football league if i was in charge. I hope the players dont waive there wages, i hope the club gets crippled.

 

I don't actually see why the players should give up their wages or the majority of them. They shouldn't have been offered the stupid contracts in the first place, but as they were, regardless of how much it is, they should take them. That said, I'd feel guilty if it was me taking them money and local businesses were going bust.

 

The local businesses still wont get the money regardless of whether the players take the money owed or not, wouldnt it be nice to see the players get there money owed and donate it to the local businesses who wont get a single penny, you would get long odds against that happening!!!

 

Agreed. About time they were shut down and made an example of so basically robbing money off people cannot be tolerated.

 

Exactly.
