The Capital injection HAS to be NOT REPAYABLE but that is the nature of a takeover. Where on earth have you got that from ? The whole point of FFP is you can not inject cash to cover losses - as somebody posted ages ago- FFP is more about preventing another Man City than another portsmouth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Xia staying is an absolutely guaranteed 100% certain disaster. Anybody else coming in may be a disaster. Or may not. We don't know yet, but we do know for certainty what Xia staying in control means. Also, the middle bit of your sentence, is that a joke?

midian Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 57 minutes ago, pintpotvilla said: I have tried to read through the FFP rules ( very boring )! It clearly states that if funds are brought into the club whether by equity or gifted this will count for FFP as long as there is no requirement to ever pay it back. Surely if this is a take over then this would indeed be the case!! I gave up trying to understand it after 2 mins,so if the new owner pits x amount of money into the club and shows its buisness plan the FFP will be gone?

Having owners who don't understand football, never come to VP, isn't going to work - sure they might cover next months tax and wages bill - but after that ?

Mo Salah might want to have a word about this too. That said, he might still be injured after that clearing in the woods Ramos took him out in the 2018 World cup a couple of weeks ago when Egypt played Spain. When Egypt played in the World Cup. A few weeks ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - we can go on with Dr Loony Xia - and we (i) know nothing about the new owners - but it doesn't sound overly promising IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Anyone else wondering if this was the contingency plan all along? If we didn't go up we would be so far away from ever being able to comply that selling the club was the only option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't think Xia has had a Plan A since the day he walked in here never mind contingency plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
