Don't disagree, but Cortese is the one banging on about being the "Barcelona of the South". I don't see where running the club like a corner shop fits into that plan.

We should have brought backup in for Rickie and Lallana, a classic case of resting on our laurels. Too busy noshing ourselves off for being top of the league instead of planning for the inevitable injury crisis.

Complete sh!te, time to spend some money.

I havn't given a sh!te about brands since I was at school, if I like something i buy it, couldn't give a toss who made it. people who buy just because of the brand are mugs.

It makes sense for the Football League to take their time and see how the admin and court case pan out before issuing the points deduction. Wether they deduct them now or a week before the end of the season makes no difference. As the weeks go by pompey seem to be making the decision easier and easier. There has to be a chance for a points deduction on the tax evasion charges, they are already looking into the current admin situation(s), plus I suppose if they don't service the CVA from the last admin there could be a further deduction for that (AFC Bournemouth style -17 anyone?).

Puncheon sound like a ***t but no one on here really knows what is going on so it's a bit off giving him stick. Maybe Cortese is being a c*nt?

So they owe the tax man £1.6mil, probably cant afford their CVA without investment, yet ARE STILL SIGNING PLAYERS. WTF is going on?

I don't know what I would prefer now, a Cala takeover or liquidation? They deserve to go pop but for comedy value I'd love to see the fish fancying loon take charge. "Pompey's going down like a hotel submarine"

The US/UK governments have invaded two countries bordering Iran killing many many thousands of people, how is Iran not supposed to see this as a hostile act?

It will be interesting to see how it effects the transfer market. I guess clubs with dodgy finances will have to pay cash up front.

Wether ail pasts are normal of or not is irrelevant it's still a f*ck up by either the captain or whoever was steering the thing.

Clubs generally loan players out for their own reasons (give experience or lighten wage bill), it's not for doing other clubs favours.

Sounds like the perfect partner for our Rickie.

Or don't buy any planes and just not bother having any wars?

But England, Wales and northern ireland can vote to remove themselves from the UK and form a new agreement without Scotland - it's no different. Being part of the UK obviously benefits all four countries, the Scots just have a chip on their shoulder about what has gone on in the past.

All well and good except if you miss and hit him in the nuts things might get nasty, especially if it's a big dog and you've run out of bullets.

I think the whole UK should get to vote, if the rest of the UK want them out the Jocks shouldn't have a choice. If Cornwall decide to be independent - do we not have any say or is it irrelevant to us?

I don't like the fact that the rest of the UK don't get to vote on wether we want Scotland or not.

If we've got the money, and a settled squad that doesn't need too many additions, it makes perfect sense to spend big on 1 or 2 players. Money sat in the bank wont get us promoted.

God knows, I suppose that "burning" includes shed loads of interest on the money he lent them. He needs to keep the life-support machine going.

Obviously another puppet owner for Chanrai so he can pick what's left from the carcass.

He's got a better ratio than Rickie at mainly a higher level. Rickie's record is also very good though.

To be fair if he gets us promoted £9mill would be money well spent.

50 goals in 95 games for S****horpe, 38 in 65 for Celtic. That's an awesome record. Unless we're using the publicity of these bids to hurry along another transfer I reckon there is a chance we can land him. The club will know if he wants to come or not so wouldn't bother bidding if he'd prefer to stay in Scotland.

My mate had a similar problem when his cat got really ill on a Sunday night and he thought all the vets would be shut. He ended up strangling it and from what he said it took ages and was horrific. IF I was you I would stump up the cash and get it done properly because whatever yo have planned might go wrong.
