Premier League withholds more of Portsmouth FC's money
4:35pm Tuesday 2nd February 2010 in
The Premier League will hold on to more than £2million from Portsmouth's player sales in January to cover money owed to other clubs as more financial pressure was today heaped on the south coast side.
Chelsea and Watford will both receive cash owed from when financially-stricken Pompey signed Glen Johnson and Tommy Smith respectively.
Once the players' wages have been covered, the £4million remainder from the £8million Portsmouth earned from selling defender Younes Kaboul and keeper Asmir Begovic could be an important lifeline.
The club will use a chunk of the cash to try to persuade HM Revenue and Customs to reschedule the payments on the £7.5million owed in VAT.
However, another creditor has also joined in with HMRC's winding-up petition to the High Court on Wednesday next week.
Grosvenor Basingstoke Properties are claiming they are owed money by Portsmouth though that is being disputed by the club.
Meanwhile, Portsmouth are also involved in a separate dispute with former owner Sacha Gaydamak over whether they have missed a deadline in paying a £9million chunk of the £28million they owe to him.
It is unlikely however that Gaydamak will take any action to push the club towards administration because that would not be in his best interests in terms of reclaiming his debt.
Portsmouth say they expect to pay the players' wages for January "in the next day or two".

August seems such a long time ago when the mutants wore their tea towels on their heads and sung about having loads of money along with the "is this the way........ we sent the sc......... down" No one was bemoaning the F.A'S fit and proper persons test then, they had new multi-zillionaire owners.

What really makes me laugh about the demise of the poorpey, it's Fred Dinages face on the local news every night, when he was reporting on our misfortune he did so with a smug gloating face, now the boot is on the other foot his face looks so sad, it cheers me up no ends to see the orange fishyman with such as anguished look on face everytime, poorpey are on the news, I used to watch the other channel, but now I can't wait to get home just the Dineage squirm,

Is it the end of March?
The longer they struggle to survive, the closer they come to taking the penalty next season and not this.
Anymore on the rumour that the Magniers were interested in them?
Can't see it myself as they are at the top of the tree in racing circles, surrounded by quality facilities.
Why oh why would they be interested in buying a wooden shack.
They wouldn't even keep their horses in it.

We have to play them in a couple of weeks and just because their problems off the pitch make them easy prey. They are still more than capable of showing us up on the pitch. Then it will be us taking it from them again.
Let's be careful of what we wish on them, it may come back and bite us.

All this talk about what is happening down the road shows that we are all sinking to the same level as the Pompey fans did when we were in the same predicament last year. We are better than this and most of their fans don't deserve it. We have to play them in a couple of weeks and just because their problems off the pitch make them easy prey.

You have to admire their optimism, the ground is a Cow-Shed, they train down the road and get their scran from "Just Rolls!" They are brassic with every man and his dog after them for monies owed, and the only one of them who can score is Avram with a PFC groupie!
I do hope they are still in business when the 13th comes around, it will be a blessing for us to ram home the final nail in that basket case of a club!
So, onwards and upwards, and if you are reading this General Baldrick then yes the clock is ticking! COYR! :oD
