I think you are a little confused as to what i wrote. On the contrary of what ? Fool.

Well said

Complete idiot, but outstanding showman and entertainer. Different class

Two / three years ago, we needed to change a season ticket and the missus rang up on the on the premium number that was constantly engaged. She put it on automatic redial until she got through, but it was charging her every time. When the phone bill came through, it was 98 quid just on the Saints number!! She wrote to Cortese and the very same day they received it , she got a call from Oldknow on behalf of Cortese who apologised and sent her a cheque (plus some) for the inconveinece.

Bah humbug..... you and your ilk are gutted. Long live the Queen

Some amazing scenes of our Country celebrating its Monarch. Great to be British, even better to be English. Get in there Lizzie

How do you know that?

He was sheeeeeeeeeeeiiiiittttttttttteeeeeeeeeee. If we wanted someone who was going to run a lot we shuold have signed Zola Bud

He was truly and utterly awful and ranks aside Keith Cassells for the worst ever Saints player

Let's just clear one thing up - Any and all abuse directed at ormerod was entirely justified. As for whipping boys, a great player for the Club was Glen Cockerill, but stayed one season to many. Never seen a player go down hill so quickly. In the end it was a real shame, he had been brilliant for us, but didn't know when to call it a day.

Yes quite obviously

As a parent, this is one of the only rules I wish i had carried from my family. There were no exceptions to missiing Sunday Roast when i grew up and was always a good chance to catch up with the family. I never carried this on and is too late to introduce now, but wish i had.

CEO's just don't come out with these statements..... someone has put pressure on him to release that.....may be the interview panel that has gone back and done the checking they should have done before they hired him. Anyone trying to take money out of fratton park, usually has my blessing but this guy is taking the pish. One of his first acts as CEO (When the club was still officially in receivership) was to smash the wage cap, that had been agreed as the part of the CVA by signing lawrence and kitson on 20k a week wages. Of course he didn’t stop there, plenty of other high earners were added. He might argue that was when the Russians were on board, but he seemed to champion their cause and was left bewildered when the inevitable happened (As predicted 5 months earlier on here) and this is where he got things really wrong. The arrest happened in November and he publically stated that they had funds to the end of the year. He had a whole two months to line up players for sale, do early deals etc etc. before the transfer window opened and then a further month to close them off. He did nothing, because in my opinion, he feared that ripping the squad apart would result in certain relegation and apparently refused to answer his phone on the last day of the transfer window, which even had Andronikou (Who thought he was going to be the administrator) demanding answers. At the risk of creditors, charities and the clubs existence itself, it seems to me, he thought that by putting the club into admin and using Andronikou, that the squad could overcome a 10 point deduction (The squad as it was then probably could have) and prevent relegation. This was just another pompey roll of the dice – another gamble. I wish I could go to a casino that you get to claim back all the other peoples you’ve lost, as your own.

Oh dear, Birch seems to have gone all nervous and panicky. Two days of spin leading into the AGM, but too dangerous to attend in person and face those awkward questions. I have said all along they will not be liquidated...... Seriously might need to reconsider that call

Ha ha..... Using technology Micky - Thats cheating. From what I can make out it just the officials (Sports minister etc.) that are boycotting due to racial issues

We voted against them getting a 4 goal head start

Anything's worth a try Appy, but i think you need to ask for forgiveness before you ask for 18 new players

The pompey fansonline message board is down (Well up, but you cant post anything) and the news message board is switch off.................... Where's Trousers

Bizarre, totally bizarre

He is away on holiday so even if can can agree personal terms from afar, he won't sign until he has his medical, so it oculd be a week or so yet

Trousers - pompey is hard to give away for free with a 14 million cash incentive on top :)

For those that think another club will outbid us for the transfer fee, they are just wrong. All clubs now know the acceptable bid. If others want JR they can outbid us on personal terms, or throw JR an extra million as a signing on fee or whatever, but transfer fee won't go up. The only exception that would muddy the waters is if there was a player exchange in the deal as in; Everton offer 6 mill + a n another (And then we could all argue about how much a n other was actually worth. Just seeing his initials as JR like that, if we do get him, I assume our resident songsters could apply the right lyrics to the theme tune.

Exactly right Hutch. Infact the ony part of that interview, that was remotely intresting was the very last bit. Birch had previously stated Chanrais bid had certain "Conditions". I assumed those to be around the repayment terms and being loop holes for paying any money back. In that interview yesterday about Chanarais bid, Birch said 'There are certain conditions based around reducing the payers wages, which is completely understandable". So does chinnys bid, depend on Birch getting rid of TBH, Kitson, Lawerence etc etc? If it does, that could end up as a "No bid".

Indeed. It's as if they have been told not to ask the XY& Z questions or they wont get an interview Neck still firmly on the block - They will be punished. It just wouldnt be very helpful right now to being telling chinny the club he is about to take on again, will be in a relegation battle, before the first ball is kicked.

Hey Art, hope you are well (And got my message) I cant find anything about this online, Reuters have an article on Hollande from yesterday, but only mentions raising the minimum wage.
