Saints set for Crouch windfall
6:45am Wednesday 9th July 2008
Comments (78)
Saints could be set for a substantial cash windfall - courtesy of Portsmouth.
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp is today expected to complete the signing of Peter Crouch from Liverpool for a fee of about £11m, with Saints poised to net a significant sum from a sell-on clause.
When Redknapp was at St Mary's he sold Crouch to Liverpool for £7m after Saints had been relegated.
But Rupert Lowe made the sure the deal had a sell-on clause which could benefit Saints.
It is believed that Saints are entitled to 15 per cent of any profit Liverpool make above that original £7m figure.
That would equate to a payment of around £600,000 into the club coffers if Crouch's move to Fratton Park goes through, which would be a welcome boost to the finances.
For full story see today's Daily Echo.

Just to confirm, it was Rupert Lowe that made sure the Saints were all right.
Despite presiding over a farcical period in the club's history involving several managers, Nigel Quashie and some apparent duck hunting antics, it's important we recognise the greatness of the man who relegated Southampton and took them to the brink of bankruptcy.
Rupert Lowe that is, the man behind the 15%, or is it really.

I am certain that many Pompey fans will be delighted to know that the money paid for the England International striker, Peter Crouch, will be of benefit, financially, to our cash-strapped neighbours.
When so many local political pudits claim that to much money heads North, it will be reassuring to some, that a portion is coming back to one of football's deprived areas.

good news ref Pete sad he is going back to pompey. Ref Walcott and Bale, to settle early for less is necessary. especially if the money is banked it reduces the interest that is added on each year and grows and grows

This seems a really ar$e about face way of doing business - why didn't we just sell him for more dosh at the time?
I don't agree with all these deals that can increase payments for players after they've moved. When was the last time it worked out 100% for us?
You don't buy a car for a percentage of the value and pay the rest once you've driven a set number of miles, so why should it be the same for footballers?

Avon from Blake's 7 wrote:Totally agree with you Avon from Blakes 7. The bottomline is even if we got promoted, survived our first couple of seasons and got reestablished in the top division - the best case scenario - we will still only be back to the position before Lowe started to really screw up and got us relegated. We shouldnt be in this position, we struggled for so many years, battling against the odds to get established and it was all for nothing, due to gross mis management by Lowe. He should have fallen on his sword immediately after relegation and never darkened our doors again. I for one will never forgive or forget and want him out.... Lowe out, Lowe out

Don't believe all the prices you read in the press, the fee was nowhere near £11m more like £8.25 plus add ons when he's sold. Oh and 4 hub caps , a DVD player & 3 car stereos.
Don't forget as one of your subscribers said a while ago, Pompey are skint and owe millions, where would they get £11M to spend on a player???

Sarkey Sam Portsmouth are paying Liverpool an agreed price that they think Crouch is worth now then Liverpool are loosing some of that to us, unless Liverpool have duped Portsmouth into paying more to cover our sell on fee i would say Liverpool are paying us not Portsmouth. Our sell on clause is with Liverpool but then who cares as long as we get something out of someone! I think maybe Denzil was just a little peeved at such a childish post by dippy Dave.

Assuming you are correct that Saints have a sell-on clause, you must now report as to how much and when will Saints receive it.
I am sure you will find that it will be a lot less than £600k and will not be received for a long time.

When you sold him, for considerably less than Pompey are now paying for him, you were not pleading poverty, like you are now.
The question has to be asked, why did you sell an under-21 International player?
Is it because there was no one at St Mary's that saw his talent and potential?

Whilst the skates are celebrating their £11 million signing could i p*ss on their bonfire by pointing a couple of things out -
1. The money being spent is not from P*rtsmuff FC - it is coming from a very wealthy individual not because you are a massive club.
2. If Saints ever spent £11 million on Peter Crouch i would be gong mental about us wasting money on a Rodney Trotter lookalike.
3. Is slagging Southampton off for being a dump not a shade on the nutty side when you have such delightful areas such as Fartton, Somerstown, Paulsgrove etc etc.
4. I have lots of friends here in Germany who support Liverpool as their English side - each and every one of them think you are mad as f*ck for paying that sort of money on him.
5. And just for good measure you still have the worst ground in the Premier League, no training ground, the dodgiest and ugliest manager in the world (OK maybe not as ugly as Dowie but its close) and you are all pikies.
Saints may have no money but we won't go bust if our chairman leaves - you will you stupid bunch of twats.

We sold Crouch primarily because we were relegated, and therefore Rupert recognised the need to save top wages, and also because he wanted to go to a bigger club, stay in the premiership, and earn more money.
We never would have hung on to him.
He was way past U21s when we had him, so that is irrelevant. I think he was with you skates at that point in his career. No-one spotted his talent? Eh? he was already at his prime when he left St Marys, we knew he was a good player, and obviously so did Liverpool!!
If I was a Pompey fan (NEVER), I would question the managerial skills of Redknapp. He splashes top money on other clubs reserve players, fees, and top wages, to forge a mid table side!!! an idiot, possibly even a Wigley/Branfoot hybrid could do the same with that sort of dosh!! Look at Everton, Blackburn, until recently Bolton, and even saints, achieved on a fraction of your overblown budget!!
Pompey are a fat, bloated, over inflated joke of a football team that I would be too embarrassed to support as I am of reasonable intelligence, which I suspect the majority of their fans are not.

The only two humourous things on this thread are Dave's Feed the Scum post (plus the usual chip on shoulder retorts - why are football fans so able to dish out yet not take it? It's a sign of character weakness, Denzil) but the best is that Avon has to add "From Blakes 7" to his name which makes it so laughably lame and pointless as to not be worth doing. If you have to explain exactly who you are it kind of loses its edge doesn't it?

Thought you may be interested to know that when Pompey sold Crouch to Aston Villa, there was a 'sell-on' clause, which saw a few bob of Saints' money head for Fratton Park.
If I am 'washed up', I think that is a healthier state than being one of the great unwashed from Chilworth. Your carer should be attending to those needs.

You have been talking about the new ground for years but even if you build it your genuine fans won't be able to afford to go and you won't fill it.
As for having 5 current England players - perhaps that explains why they didn't qualify for the Euro Championships and that reinforces what i said about your finances - they don't play for you because they like sailors. Agents and big wages have a bit more to do with it.
I do like the way you sign off - a skate going on about smoking pipes (or your mates/family) and twitching - a bit like fartton on match day really.
I hope you do well in Europe for the record - it would be lovely to see your brilliant fans watching you playing a Turkish club - what a friendly fans fest that would be.

I wonder if you were claiming that 'Money has ruined English football', when Southampton were in the Premier League? I somehow doubt it.
I seem to recall that a couple of decades ago, that British players were heading for Italy, where the money was, and it does not seem to have done Italian football any harm.
As the English leagues feature Professional Football Clubs, I would have thought it logical that money was involved in the game. The fact that Southampton have no money, despite having sold any players of quality that they had on their books, shows a total lack of financial competence in the boardroom.
With regard Pompey's new ground. I remember that Southampton had many sites where they wanted to build a stadium, and were knocked back, both by Southampton City Council and by Eastleigh Borough Council. Eventually they landed in the old gasworks, miles from the railway station, with no car parking facility and a lousy bus service. Pompey have had a similar lack of co-operation with their Council, but there appears to be more optimism over this site.
The fact that England did not qualify for Europe, cannot be laid at Pompey's door.
Will ignore the childish comment about liking sailors, but would enquire whether you are in Germany because you like big, blonde men, or are you distancing yourself from the pantomime being performed at St Mary's?

Lowe is very good for the club No one else could or wouldl sort out the financial mess caused by the previous Boards.The previous Boards were only enabled to screw things up by the mindless 'Lowe Out' brigade.
Pompey's new stadium will not be built .It cannot be afforded without cross subsidy from other developments and the current downturn in the economy means that will not happen.

That's the good news and the easy bit.
The tragedy is that money has distorted the game so that only the wealthiest Clubs can sit at the top of the greasy pole and laugh at everyone else.
The Premiership is split into 3 bands (Choose your own clubs).
About 4/5 top clubs with large debt. MU and Chelsea are in (managed, Sam) debt to the tune of £700m. Another 4/5 who can never break into the top positions and the rest who make up the numbers and are just relegation fodder.
Pompey may prove me wrong but I think that they can never break into that top group because they just don't have the money.
Bur enough of Pompey. Southampton have no money - not because of the incompetenve of the Board - but because they have no money. They are in a downward spiral.
Until such time as a 'fat cat' turns up with £20m/£50m of honest money in his back pocket then Saints and every other Club will be in the same position.
The rest is just a few fine debating points and smoke and mirrors.
Choose your own position. Money has made or ruined football.

Yep! Harry sold Crouch twice, both times for the same reason, as said in my previous post. I would imagine that it was not by choice, but because the board of directors said he had to do so. When you have the support of the board, then it makes life a lot easier, especially if there is money available.
As you are well aware, the training ground and stadium still have to go before their respective planning committees, and as you are aware, it is easy to submit planning applications, but not always easy to get them passed, as Saints discovered when they were looking for sites for their stadium. They got knocked back by both Southampton and Eastleigh councils.
I agree (for once) with Happy Chappy, that Harry is the best English manager. Can not think of a better one, and our chairman is ambitious.
Another important thing is, the fans are UNITED behind the Chairman, the manager and the team.

Yes, you are right, most could collect their bus passes - if they paid for them. I note that SFC 'Fans' needed free bus passes to get them to go to St Mary's. Lose the free bus pass, and they have to close down sections of the ground! Some support!
Yes! A load of foreign nobodys, that knocked Man U out of the cup At Old Trafford.
Agreed. They have a Star of a manager.

Why do I come to that conclusion?
SFC's stats 2007/8 Won 13 Lost 18 GF 16 GA 72
and narrowly avoided relegation.
Portsmouth FC - one league higher than SFC, ie in the Premier League.
Won 16 Lost 13 GF 48 GA 40 and, of course, winners of the FA Cup!
I cannot be certain that you will see Pompey in the CHAMPIONS league, but can be certain that it will not be the Championship.

Unless you get drawn to play the only Premier League Team on the South Coast in the FA Cup draw, I cannot see the possibility of you having to come to Fratton Park for another exhibition of how the beautiful game should be played, as we did when Aunty Niemie had to get the ball out of the back of his net 4 times.

I was rather intrigued by the use of the word 'Vermon'? Now I know that there is a state called Vermont in the USA, and when I was there, it smelt of maple trees. Could it possibly be that either you were not paying attention at school or know as much about Portsmouth and Portsmouth FC as you do about spelling?
What a Pratt!

As you come from an area devoid of quality football, I quite understand why you should ask why Pompey have bought Peter Crouch. I guess that, with your knowledge, you think we have bought Leon Crouch!
'Yeah if i 'remmber' that' Not much knowledge of spelling either!

You want to know why Harry Redknapp, the finest English Football Manager, did not move to Newcastle United? He did not move because he has had previous experience of managing a team of losers in stripes, and did not want to repeat the experience!

You say that you made some points. Afraid that I could not make out what that point was.
David James? Currently England's first choice goalkeeper.
Glen Johnson, returned to the England squad, and capped again.
Sol Campbell, gained more England caps since joining Portsmouth.
Never heard of a Hernan Heridasson - no such person at Fratton Park.
Milan Baros spent a season on loan at Fratton Park, and will not be there for the coming season.
Defoe - did not feature in the Spurs team, but if he had done so, maybe Spurs would have ended the season above Pompey rather than below them in the league.
Kanu - good enough to score the winning goals in the FA Cup semi-final and in the FA Cup Final, and has a very nice Cup Winners medal to prove it.
Peter Crouch - a current England International, who will be forming a striking partnership with another England International. That is what is called, Progress!
At this time of year, the papers are full of 'Transfer Targets'. Personally, I think Mr Gaydamak would be more inclined to buy London Bridge rather than Wayne Bridge. SWP? Who knows? I don't, and I am sure you don't, as you appear to know precious little about footballers and their ability.
If, as you say, Truth Hurts, then go and get youself a couple of asprins, because with all the Pompey players you have mentioned, there is not one of similar quality available at St Mary's for the coming season, AND I BET THAT HURTS!

Myself! As you appear to be as unfamiliar with spelling as you are with the names of footballers, top quality, Premier League footballers, perhaps you meant Hermann Hreidarsson? If so, for your information, he is still a current International for his country.
The fact that a player once played for a failing, garbage, cr@p team, does not mean that he is of the same quality. For example, look at Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott, Alan Shearer! They all played for a rubbish outfit, but were still able to gain full international caps ONCE THEY HAD LEFT!

I totally agree with the comment about all pompey player being big teams has beens. I mean most of their team could collect their bus passes by now! The majority of them are foreign nobodys and they have a **** of a manager that will hopefully move on soon along with their chairman. Then lets see where their sh*t team finishes in the league. I predict Rock bottom!
Diarra, Defoe, Krancjar, Johnson and Muntari are all in the starting line up each week and all under 25. You can only dream of having players this good in your team, it will be decades (if ever) before you see such quality again.

The complex payment terms between Portsmouth and Liverpool mean Saints won't see any of this money for some years and nowhere near that 600k figure being desperately bandied about.
