Weston Super Saint

Hi Corpse, welcome back. HAve you got any response to all the quotes of yours from lots of pages back? I'm sure someone will be happy to copy and paste them all to keep you up to date if you 'missed' them during your exile!

Erm, no. It means Chainrai remains the title holder - owner of Fratton dump - until he's had his £17m in cash. Until that happens, he can step in and takeover again if any of his 'loan' payments are missed.

So, let me see if I've got the timeline right or not..... Gaydamak bought the club - we all knew that it was daddy's money, and this has been confirmed now I believe. Daddy gets into a bit of trouble and has his assets seized - about £17m worth IIRC. A cunning plan is hatched by daddy to get his best buddy [Chainrai], to pretend they hate each other, they've had a little fight and to get chainrai to sue daddy for circa £17m. Eventually this suit is succesful and the assets totaling £17m are released to chainrai. Sadly this took longer than was expected, so chainrai couldn't take over the club straight away - why would he want to put his own money in! So, along comes Mr Whippy and his very wealthy backers, who incidentally weren't wealthy, or in fact backers! That goes pear shaped so Mr Whippy bails out and runs away to Russia to a chess conference, where lo and behold daddy is hiding out! Along comes the fake sheik, who doesn't actually exist, just a random guy vouching to be his brother - most of us suspected it was Chainrai all along! Chainrai then 'loans' the fake sheik who doesn't exist £17m to keep the club running - the assets he 'won' from daddy have now been liquidated and he has the cash avaiable. The fake sheik then defaults on the loan - well, you would really, being non existent, there is no way to pay the repayments - so chainrai becomes a 'reluctant' owner! He immediately puts the club into admin - it had been trading insolvently for six months or so, but those pesky assets needed liquidating! Now the club is in admin, chainrai's loan is now a secure creditor, so daddy will get his £17m back! Sadly, no-one is interested in buying the club so another plan is hatched! Along come the russians, who have bought the club without actually paying a penny - they promise to pay chainrai in installments, which will most likely be paid when the parachute payments fall due - I guess chainrai couldn't really pay himself the parachute payments whilst he is the owner, because those damned charities they ripped off along the way might start making a noise. So, eventually, Chainrai will get back all the money he [daddy], put into the club, plus some lucrative interest payments. Daddy gets his £17m, so the seized assets are all legally washed, pressed and delivered back to him in a nice plastic bag! Chainrai gets his interest payments, so that's his cut, plus whatever he decides to take from the sale of players, probably not much, but certainly good value for money if you've never put a penny into the club! So, what's in it for the Russians? I'm guessing they are indebted to daddy, so they've got a choice to do this and keep their fingers, or go swimming with the fishes! And people think that they will be investing millions of pounds to build a championship winning team? I doubt it! They'll spend the season ticket sales on players, probably not many by the lack of sales! They'll then limp the club along until chainrai / daddy get the final parachute payment out of the club, then sell it for scrap is my guess All in all, this is far better than watching Eastenders, and the accents are funnier too

Not necessarily a bad thing

Mrs WSS and I were members at Meon Valley last year - hadn't played for over 10 years and got a h/c of 23, Mrs WSS was a complete novice! Moved from Meon this spring, as it was an absolute nightmare to get a tee time in the limited times / days we had available. Now members at Cams Hall and playing to about 13. Moving back to Weston Super Mare this summer, so hoping we can transfer our membership to the Bristol Club owned by the same company as Cams Hall.

They couldn't field eleven plus subs last season, so they've no hope this term

Looks like photobucket beat us to it

Er no. The average age on there is about 35 I believe. Trouble is, being a bunch of thick skates, they just sound like 11 - 14 year olds

Lifted from the Pompey website [players area], I believe.

I would also highly recommend this little beauty : http://golfshot.com/ For those that know how to get it for £0 it is awesome. Not sure I'd be willing to pay the price they charge for it though, unless I was seriously into golf like Will Fox is

Indeed. They're just broke How long before they default on their staged payments to chinny, and once again he takes over as a reluctant owner! Will that be seven or eight owners in the last five years! Do the current clowns count as one or two owners

Nutshell

April the 7th will be the day they get their cummupance, when they get beaten 4-1 at St Mary's, which seals their relegation

An 'arena' apparently

Plus NI Peter, the gift that just keeps on giving

I guess the picture on that article is from one of their home games by the look of all the empty seats in the background

That would certainly appear to be the case! Deppo was boring and predictable. Sadly, he either didn't understand what are pretty simple rules to follow, or didn't think they applied to him. Fair play to Boj and the mods for sticking to their guns and enforcing the ban. It's not rocket science to stay within the rules of the forum, especially if you've been warned 19 times previously!

Hmmm Grace Park

That sounds suspiciously like a Corpy Ho Ho quote

Lol. I wonder if his [ings] mum would be happy driving him to Fulham every day for training

Calm down people This is Pompey we're talking about! They had the absolute best team - on paper - in the entire league last season, and look what happened with Clotterill in charge I've heard no plans to get rid of him, so even with 10 more signings - just to be able to complete the fixtures! - they're still fecked. Off they go to league 1 pretty soon, then they will bottom out in league 2 with 3,000 of the bestest fans in the world turning up to the rotten cesspit once a fortnight. That, dear Nick, will be toast

SIX! Gaydamak Al Fahim the ice cream man Al faraj the mirage Chanrai - pre admin Chanrai again - although reluctantly - post admin Finally[?] the mad Russians with alleged mafia connections. Seven if you count the dodgy administrator. All that in less than 2 years! And we though we went through a lot of managers in a decade!

You're forgetting the FL have invented the new, improved version Presumably this one involves holding a pen and writing your name!

Anyone know if they have passed the FAPPT? Last time they claimed they had, the FL put out a statement to the contrary Nothing else has been said since, so presumably they haven't?
