FiNeRaIn not posting anymore, battling 3/4 of you is pointless when you're all showing that i'm being biased.

FiNeRaIn the two scenarios arent remotely comparable...pathetic. One was a massive club with 50,000 fans a week paying players 40k a week which seems feasable given the average attendance. one gets 18,000 a week and was spending 80k a week on players, far more obvious to everyone portsmouth were not right financially. Rangers also went nearly two seasons without spending a fee on a player. Its only come to light this season just what whyte was upto, people knew pompey were frauding for seasons.
Bent owner didn't buy anyone trophys tony le mesmer lol, looking at how much rangers have spent on transfer fee's in the last few years. probably less than reading.

FiNeRaIn There obviously have to be repurcussions, but what can football fans realistically do if someone takes over your club when you don't what them to? If zingaravich comes in and oxf*rd up reading, you will all be powerless to stop him legally. Should you be made to suffer for the next decade because of him...or will you feel the FA could have protected the club and its fans?

Er, no it doesn't. Not when you don't get the TV money we do in the EPL. SPL is a whole different story!!

watfordroyal Finerains argument doesn't stand coz Rangers were in trouble before Whyte came in, the bank were calling in the debt & Murray had been trying to sell for some time. Where were all these bidders then? and if everyone knew Whyte would f*ck them up some more, why did Murray sell them to him? Did he not ask where the money was coming from? Where was Rangers due dilligence?
Let them boycott the cup & scotland, who cares other than the huns.
Will just make them even more hated by the rest of Scottish football.
If the SFA cave in to these threats, then Scottish Football is f*cked forever!

Its only the fans that have called for the boycott not the club.

Rangers debt was coming down
the debt was £18M ,down from £27M
SDM wanted to sell , MIM was in financial trouble(not rangers) but the bank saw rangers as one of the easiest ways of removing debt from the MIM group of companies.
there were other ways of "financing" this debt, for example another share issue
I would argue Scottish Football is f*cked anyway. As I have said if Rangers get relegated the money falls out the SPL
I also recall Aberdeen being "saved" previously by league reconstruction!

Mr Angry His ONLY motivation is to keep Pompey afloat otherwise he loses his "£19M debt" that Portsmouth FC owe him; he won't be doing any further investment in the club, won't think it neccesary to spend any more money on new players other than what is absolutely neccesary, and will be trying, from Day 1, to sell it on to any mug - sorry, investor - with money willing to take it on so he can get his cash. That isn't a long lerm, or even medium term, business plan, and under this guy Pompey are simply a dead man walking.
They are going to die the death of a thousand wasted dreams and of never-ending hope that will never be fulfilled; they will drop through the Leagues, eventually simply fading away.
See ya Pompey; we will NEVER play you again.

Optimisitically he may carry on "investing", whilst he lines up another mug to buy the club. More realistically he'll run the club on a shoestring, pocket the parachute payments, screw the creditors then cut his losses and fold the club in a couple of years.
The % of the CVA will be interesting to hear next week. I'd be surprised if it's more that 5p, down from the original 20p. Surely that's worth some sort of points deduction.
