Have they got space on their only-room-for-three-sympathy-bench?

Difference is they are on course to play 61+ games this season what with their participation of the Europa Cup and the current FA cup run.

Also appears on rumafia.com... Like Antonov!!

But surely, the first thing to establish is when has any government had any credibility on economic matters? Has government policy actually made such an impact to change the economical outlook of a country (either way)?

...I think he's been trying on a selection of leather jackets.

Nottingham Forest - Bamford - £1.5m fee

The only speculation should be around those players who's contract is due to run out at the end of the season... will they be renewed or not? Otherwise, I'm happy as doddisalegend has stated, the team is playing as one, even Puncheon is back in the fold as it's great to see.

Thread calling CB Fry, CB Fry come in please! ;-)

...I heard he's waiting for the consultancy contract to land on his desk from Birch at a much reduced rate than he's currently on. His guidance and knowledge will be required as nothing was written down.

What's his twitter account?

I'm more worried about the amount of red bull and red meat he's buying!

What a day to take the kids out in half term week! Now kids this is an Internet cafe...

The academy players are training with the first team... Probably have to so they can have practice games of 11 versus 11.

Have you ever tried to walk, read and laugh your head off at the same time?

They had debts of £130m last time they were in court which did come down to about £110m at the time of the CVAand they still survived.

I think it was the 50 players in three years that he brought in that did it for him. As well as the 17 points from the last 11 games.

.... On Monday afternoon the directors of Portsmouth Football announced that they have applied for the club to go into administration. The Administrators will be appointed at a court hearing on Friday, assuming the court grants permission. It is expected that the chief Administrator will be Andrew Andronikou of UHY Hacker Young. If granted, the administration will prevent the enactment of HMRC’s winding up petition due to be heard on Monday 20 February. Mr Andronikou is concerned that matters have got this far. I spoke with him and he said that Balram Chainrai made a payment of £250,000 into the club in December on the understanding that there would be player sales in January to keep the club going until a buyer was found. He says that there were 'others within the club' that prevented the sales. It was not down to player choice. He plans to investigate how the sales failed to happen. If those sales had gone ahead the club would not now be facing administration, he said. Mr Andronikou explained that Mr Chainrai stands to lose in terms of both capital and interest on his £17m loan to the club. He said that Chainrai has only ever received two interest payments on the money he initially loaned back in October 2009. Those were £2m from the sale of Kaboul in January 2010 and a payment from CSI during their short ownership of the club. It was a failure to pay the second instalment of the interest on the loan that triggered their administration. Presumably Mr Andronikou also meant that the club will not realise the full amount that Mr Chainrai is owed if sold out of administration. He did say that there were buyers around. When asked if he anticipated any difficulties in the court granting administration he was quite clear that he saw no problems at all in that. He expected HMRC to put up some opposition, but nothing that he could not manage. As to whether there was any conflict of interests in him being Administrator for both CSI and PFC, he said there were none at all. Once the court grants administration on Friday, control will pass from the club’s Directors to the Administrator. Speaking on BBC Radio Solent on Monday, Pompey’s CEO David Lampitt said the decision for administration had been made to protect the club and its creditors, giving them the best possible chance of a decent return. He stated that the administration order will free up the bank account frozen by HMRC’s winding up petition and allow the club to trade more freely. There had been questions as to whether the game against Ipswich could even go ahead due to the club’s inability to pay bills. £1m of early parachute money from the Premier League came into the club’s frozen bank accounts at the end of last week. The account holds about £2m in all – including the gate receipts from the game at Chelsea and the fees from the transfer of Ryan Williams. Mr Lampitt told Radio Solent that before Friday’s court hearing the club would be applying to a separate court for a ‘validation order but of very specific amount to cover specific payments that will make sure we can carry on trading through to the administration.’ Until Friday’s hearing the control of PFC’s bank accounts lies with the club’s Directors, after the hearing control passes from the Directors to the Administrator. As to a potential owner, Mr Lampitt implied there were people out there looking with interest. He was very positive that the club had been on the right track before Mr Antonov’s arrest and the administration of CSI. He said the club is still well worth buying and paid tribute to the support of his staff and the fans. Developments over the next few days could be interesting. The Pompey Supporters Trust hopes to meet with the Administrator in the near future with a view to seeking to bring the fans to the table in the fight to rescue the club. Meanwhile all fans will continue to show what the club means to them in their own particular style. The views of SJ Maskell are their own.

Just laugh. I think he needs to regroup, have a conference call with Barbie and Tiny Tears to work out his next angle of attack!

Yes. Diop and McCartney are injured. Need to take advantage of Potts the youngster or an out of position player at Left Back.

I think he might be after a new agent if he was told that.

I very good report here from someone on the receiving end of racial abuse which backs up some of what you say.

If not already doing so, you should start playing the lottery if you like those odds... It's bound to be you! PS great research jawillwill. ;-)
