This is still the best one!

LOL

It will be an interesting showdown if the judge decides that Chanrai wasn't allowed to put the club into admin. Then from what I understand a week monday it's either, the FA/PL cough up the money to the tax man or Pompey fold. I can see the PL saving them just to see out the season, I can't see Pompey getting a single penny of parachute money after that though.

There is no lack of ambition in that article, Pardew talks sense IMO. Also why do people think that what Pardew says to the paper is the same as what he says to the players. Managers since the dawn of time have played down expectations in the press to take pressure of their players.

Not if HMRC have their way.

Becauae that was ringing round St Mary's when we were 4-1 down in the cup. You are talking out your ass and you know it.

Singing we're going to Wembley is not exactly bragging, it's just singing.

Who was bragging?

Swindon now losing 0-4. Win today and we can catch them no problem.

Would make it funnier if they are shut down before a possible Wembley trip.

Another beauty!

LOL

Before tonight Huddersfield's goal difference was 4 better than ours now it's 6 worse - that could prove to be like an extra point.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those you quoted fees for wouldn't be able to be given away. It's all about the wages, for example if Utaka is on half the reported 80k a week there is no way he would command a fee. When they go down it will be the Leeds/Fowler scenario where they are paying a proportion of his wages for years after he left for nothing.

Are they basically saying that Chanrai gave them nothing, just said he did so he can pull out the cash owed to him by Gaydamak Snr?

From what I understand I think what we're seeing here is the Premier League's (and football in general's) "football creditors first" rule coming back to bite them on their ass. Football is awash with money and the governing body insisting on Muntari and co getting their full 80k a week at the expense of the tax man and other small businesses is just plain wrong. As a result of the Premier League's greed they will probably see one of their clubs fold and their competition thrown into chaos. It wouldn't surprise me if pompey fold and from now on the football governing bodies will make paying the tax man in full vital if a club wants to get the golden share.

I expect the interviewer did a stinky fart, that's what the problem was.

Exactly, the more money the Prem give to Pompey this season the better. If they advance them all their parachutes and let them flog all their players now, all the cash will just disappear into their creditor's pockets. They will be left as one of the smaller Championship clubs, with no players, no extra parachute income and having to pay £1m a year rent. Possibly on -17.

You can expect Chainrai to buy it back, the £1mill a year rent he's slapped on Fratton Park means it's not worthwhile anyone else taking it over. I can see Chanrai taking it back in the summer just to pocket all the parachute money, then leave it to rot.

The Football league will rip into portsmouth next season. Lord Mawhinney will already be cracking one off at thought of all those possible point penalties.

If you ignore the hilarious schoolboy insults of Nigel Farage he actually has a very valid point. None of us elected this European President, we were not even allowed a refurendum on Europe. The whole Europe thing is just a big self-perpetuating gravy train. and totally undemocratic.

Spoken like a true ass hole.

I don't get why only the Scotts get to vote on this, surely we should have the opportunity to rid ourselves of them. Not exactly fair.

He's gone up in my estimation after that rant.
