I had a £2.50 bet that Ings would get a brace at 11/1 on Skybet Won £30 - so softened the blow abit

Morning. Was watching the game moosh. Congrats on the win.

******. Oh well pressure on you lot.

Fake news, you only get £4.3m extra revenue in the CCC and the wage bill would have to increase by at least that to not immediately go down. Most Championship clubs are operating on a loss I suspect and I am sure they realise this. The EFL’s current TV deal amounts to £90m a year – just 3% of the Premier League’s £2.8bn a year, shared among all 72 clubs, although the 24 in the Championship receive the bulk of it. From 2019 an agreed new five-year deal will pay £120m annually. In agreements struck to govern the relationship between the Premier League, which was a breakaway in 1992 from more equal sharing in the Football League, the top flight pays £100m in “solidarity” to lower leagues, including £4.3m to the Championship clubs.

Not true on my board. I've approved a few from up that way recently.

Still browse sweetcheeks

Members on TPF do not want you lot on there. I run the board for them. Any pompey fans can come on and be negative and there are a few of them that rile people but they do not get banned unless they do not abide by board rules and behave in an adult manner. Am quite happy to take critisism. We've still not a lot to shout about and the less said about the previous incarnation of the club the better. It is what it is.

Still here lol. Can't go all season unbeaten. We go again. On our way back to our rightful place......in the championship lol

Fake news. And no I've not just popped up coz we are doing ok. I browse this thread for the chuckles.

Suspect we will put up more of a fight against Wigwam than you did against West Ham We don't expect to win and we won't make playoffs so abit of a non descript game to be honest.

So is it true Gao has leveraged £210m worth of debt to buy you and expects premiership income to repay it?

Last post as this is my 3rd - I am not the one that says you cannot go on POL its a members decision. So the kn ob comment is null and void IMO. Its not my forum its the members forum as far as I am concerned. Most of you just want to go on POL so you can cut and paste to here, as that's what used to happen in the previous carnation is it not? Anyway that's me done prolly for another few months.

We spent well over our means with money that we and our owner at the time did not have. We had no major assets like ground or training ground etc. Other (not all) clubs have excellent/above average infrastructure and owners that actually have money so if it all goes tits up are generally successful enough on and off the pitch they get bought out by genuine people, although as we know there are exceptions If your asking if we effectively bought the cup, yes we did with money we did not have but am sure we are not the only example - however, we are one of the only ones that went pop because of this What matters now is we have a chance to improve our off the pitch stuff and this is WAY more important than success on the pitch if we are to have brighter future

Doubt it - we know Eisner is not going to spunk loads of money on the playing budget - he has said so himself. Infrastructure, academy and commercial revenue streams will be the priority. No doubt if he wants to make a profit he will have to spend to get to the premiership but it will not be a big bang approach and I for one am happy about that. We have had too many owners risk the club by spunking money we do not have. I would rather see the club build slowly by improving stuff off the pitch first, particularly as we know the championship is notorious for clubs losing a lot of money. Establish ourselves in L1 this season then push next season is what most of us would like to see. No doubt like at all clubs you will get the idiots on the news site slating the new regime for not spending huge, but most of us on POL take a more sensible line and a more long term view.

Cook out, Jackett in and Wigan have paid us. Turned out nice.
