More Pompey Woe

[eddlad]

The High Court yesterday ruled in Campbell’s favour over his claim that Portsmouth owed him £1.67m - and that could open up even more problems for the debt-ridden club.

Portsmouth were claiming that the debt was image rights and therefore Campbell would have to wait in line with other creditors and potentially only get 10 per cent of what he was owed.

But Campbell’s legal team successfully proved that the money was unpaid wages and HMRC tax officers are already investigating whether other players’ wages were disguised as image rights in big-money contracts.

It is believed that former Arsenal striker Kanu is also owed money on his contract in similar circumstances and means the club is now facing more debt and problems.

old news - Administration confirmed and winding up withdrawn.

 

[Redders]

Yesterday on SkySports it said Campbell is willing to wait until the club exit administration before trying to claim his money - such a gentleman.

Campbell has no ******* morality. Kick a club when they are down. He only thinks about himself.

 

[chrisstanley1987]

It takes the ****, like he's not already worth 5X what he won. lol

 

[Lizard_Growl]

If he's owed money he's owed money in whatever situation, at least he is patient till new owner arrives which is soon hopefully (H)

Wow. Major lily-white bitterness there.

If you were owed £1.67m, you would fight tooth and nail to claim it, too. And it doesn't matter that he's "already got plenty", that is a lot of money.

bad if you already had 10 times that in the bank. you are getting paid alot of money by arsenal weekly, the money not needed for you. but could now cost another 30 peoples this months wages. Not players, but groundstaff, cleaners, canteen staff. so is it all really worth it.

 

[askep]

Yeah it is. It's one point sixtyseven MILLION pounds!

off money he doesnt need, which could cost a 30s familys to starve this week, or to have to move house for not being able to keep up with rent or martage, YH good one thats really worth it.

How do you know he doesn't need it?

It's not like its £50 you lent your mate down the pub.

He is going to retire soon anyway, he needs a pension.

Campbell hasn't/ isn't doing anything wrong. If you want to point fingers, look no further than the Pompey Heirarchy. Owners, directors et al.

 

[Max]

Campbell is a ******, he's probably on good money at Arsenal and will earn that in a season at least.

Dont be so dramatic theres a thing called 'benefit' dont worry im sure you will become accustom to this soon, your comment makes no sense on so many levels its annoying. Your saying Sol Cambell should give up £1.6m of his hard earned money to be a charity to an over staffed club in administration? Get real.

 

[Ride The Walrus]

He's got enough money from Arsenal surely.Proves a lot of players are mercaneries,and only care 'bout money. :/

 

[Deano]

It his money he is owed :/ why are most of you attacking him? if you had his ammount of money you would still want the £1.6M you were owed.

 

[Redrup]

When I heard that Campbell was suing Portsmouth I immediately thought he is an absolute ******. I don't care that he plays for Arsenal, around 90 people working at the club were made redundant a few days ago and he is suing them? Money that can go to those who barely have any? I find it disgustingly selfish.

 

[Jack Fulham]

Yes, but you could argue that most players are mercenaries, even John Terry or Steven Gerrard, in context, a career in football can be very short and many players will want to ensure that they can live in luxury for the rest of there life's. I am sure Campbell has a lot of money but even I'd be ****** off in his position if I hadn't got that money.

yes lets all go on benifits. becuase some over paid ****** would accept the 80k a week he was getting for 3 years, he wanted more. the benifits wont pay as much as there wage, and benifits only last for 6 months. So unlucky. Naive of you to thiink, Benifits wll save them. Mortages, Insurance if they have such a thing. will only pay for 8 months and normally 70% of a males wages and 30% of a females wages. So you have no idea

You're making 1.6£ million pounds sound like a small sum. it's really not.

It isnt a small sum, just he doesnt need to money, and compared to everything else he earns. it is small sum for him
