Balram Chainrai pulls out of deal to buy Portsmouth FC
8:57am Wednesday 15th August 2012 in General Sport
By Dan Kerins, Digital Editor
Fratton Park
THE FORMER owner of Portsmouth Football Club has withdrawn his offer to buy the club again.
Balram Chainrai's Portpin firm have pulled out of the deal, meaning the club is in serious danger of being liquated.
Pompey started the season with a 3-0 loss to Plymouth Argyle last night.
Now, only the Pompey Supporters Trust remain as prospective buyers.
In a statement to Sky Sports News, Chainrai said: "Portpin Ltd regrets to announce that it is withdrawing its bid for Portsmouth Football Club.
"Unfortunately, our efforts to save the club once more from extinction have hit a wall of rejection and lacking co-operation from the administrator and other interested parties.
"We are not the ones who have caused the club to collapse and we are not the ones to choose PKF as administrators .
"As history has recorded, we sold the club over a year ago after saving it from liquidation and unfortunately found ourselves again fighting to try and save the club from another liquidation.
"Through this administration process over the last six months we have always had the club's best interest in mind - unlike many parties who were involved in the process.
"We repeatedly encouraged the administrator to find a new, willing and able buyer to take over the club - unfortunately he was unsuccessful in this job and couldn't find a buyer despite his promises!!
"Later he approached us to be his safety net to save the club as he couldn't find a buyer. We agreed in the effort to avoid liquidation of the club.
"At this moment in time, we feel that:
- the negative criticism and lack of support for our takeover by the fans of this club.
- the fact that the administrators do not want to compromise on their unrealistic fees.
- the fact that suddenly the club has received additional huge football creditors' claims from former players and management such as Hughes, Brown, Kanu, and Lampitt and more.
- the fact that all the money from the parachute payment which were supposed to carry the club for the next two seasons was spent and committed by the administrator on players' compromises and fees : total £12million.
- the fact that the Football League has decided to deduct 10 points for no reasonable reason and by its decisions didn't show any willingness to help in saving this troubled club.
- the fact that the supporters' trust which we met and we voiced our support for their takeover bid could not raise the funds to satisfy the administrator or the Football League and the loan that was promised them by the council had unrealistic terms.
- the fact that the club did not get any real support from any official they were all very good at creating headlines.
- and finally the last straw yesterday afternoon the manager told the press before the season starts that he is sure of another relegation.
"All of these facts have left us in a position that we no longer want to fight this battle, we have zero support to save the club therefore we formally withdraw our bid and our honest attempt at saving the club. We will sleep well knowing we did our utmost to save the club.
"We welcome and will assist anyone, including the supporters trust to try and save the club in the coming days."

That's what I call total dedication and the reason they are regarded as the greatest fans ever!!!!!!!!
The club had £150m's worth of debt and the deluded blue few think that by raising £1.65m every things gonna be alright.

That is a very ubfortunate photo of the ground as well. Did a photographer get paid for that??
I am now getting fed up hearing about them when there are more interesting clubs to talk about nearer our homeland such as Totton or Eastleigh.
While there are still people who are owed millions of pounds this story will drag on. The club will probably disappear eventually. Nobody seems to want this club, it's ground, or anything at all. I hope the 1.650 move their allegiance to Chichester, or perhaps Havant, or maybe take up cross stitch.
By the way, have Subbuteo dropped them from the team catalogue yet? Or are they still doubling up as Everton?

One good thing about a pheonix club is that it'll stop them going on about the 2 league titles and 2 FA cup wins.

However with only 1650 pledges there is nowhere near enough to satisfy any creditors so I doubt any deal will be done. I guess that only leaves for the club to wind up, and AFC Portsmouth to rise from the ashes....
If a fan pledges cash to save his club, any club, he deserves repect. So I take my hat off to 1,650 ... if that's the correct figure.

I would guess that the number that do will be vastly less than 1650.
I see they are planning a peaceful demonstration before the Bournemouth game.
The question that first needs to be answered is will the FL allow the game to go ahead?????

People on here saying who can we hate now, well remember, that crappy city still exists, the Stakes are still there, we will always have a rivalry, it doesnt have to be just football, never has for me.
And the derbies, there was never really a likelyhood of a derby game for a long time.
It will take time for them to put a Newco club together, certainly wont be for the coming season, and as there will be a gap, it will be more than likely that at best they will be accepted in nothing higher than the Southern League South in 2013/14
Bye Bye

On a serious note, despite the fact I'm a Saints supporter, I feel sorry for the fans and I wouldn't wish to see the end of Saints versus Portsmouth games.
The fact remains however that Portsmouth FC was bungled by a number of people, including and specifically Mandaric and Redknapp.
Too much money was spent getting PFC the FA Cup and players they could not afford and trying to adopt a position that was unsustainable without the back up of a modern ground and set up. They got it all wrong and people like Redknapp should have known better when he was too busy trying to buy himself glory with money the club clearly could not afford.
I could see this all happening when Portsmouth fans were laughing in my face about Saints being in trouble a few years back. If I and thousands of other people could see that PFC were on a road to nowhere then why the hell couldn't the so called 'experts' 'managing' PFC at all levels see it too?

Our investment in infrastructure and youth academy is what saved us when we were in Admin. It was a cheap buy for someone who wanted a long term project. You prefered to buy the FA cup rather than invest in your future. Now you pay the price, don't moan - you made your decisions, we made ours.

heres a real football fan another post
Guys, Bournemouth fan here,i hope Saturday isnt in jeapordy, it's our biggest game of the season and really look forward to what should be a great atmosphere from our end, we have sold all our 2800 tickets. Good Luck, football needs Pompey and more importantly the passion of the Pompey fans a credit to the club!! If we dont get it right this season we could be in the same boat with our spending. All footy fans should stick together, its our game......

... oh I know why.... pledges so far are nowhere near enough.
also, re your comment earlier - Saints have been there. WE have been through the pain. only difference is - we didn't buy the FA cup. We have a stadium thats capable of hosting Premier League matches. We never let stitched up and local charities or businesses.
you keep bumping your gums but, quite frankly, theres not much coming out of your fishy mouth.
Saints won't be going bankrupt anytime soon because we have owners who are realistic, a manager who is proving himself time and again and a team who don't need their nappy changing at half time.
