Its as stupid as saying we won't, as it is saying we will. We might spend so much that automatic would be the expectation...... then again we might not.

I won't bore you with the latest story from the news - There really is nothing in it, with the exception of a little nuggett at the end from CEO lumpitt talking about running the club - Is he taking the pish; ‘Sometimes doing things in the right way, the hard way, can be difficult but it can be worth more in the end.

Sorry mods - lock this one up - Hadn't seen the other one.... How bizarre.

I was trying to find a post to prove a point (How ******* sad is that on a football forum) and came across this one..... A really good read nearly two years on. The emotions that different posters went through is almost tangible. Some dismissed it out of hand, most just hoped it was true, others were swept along and instantly convinced we would be the next Barcelona. We still weren't sure but...... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14472-Swiss-bid-led-by-Billionaires!

A very telling comment. It is if you see it as some crusade..... and it really isn't. Closer to truth is that it is either a wind up or a totally misguided stance. Let it go and chill out.

With the exception of just over half a dozen creditors, their acceptance was managed by the administrator himself and lies at the heart of my own personal theory of how they managed to survive. Infact the head of one of their supporters groups who met with lampitt, then published the minutes or headlines of the meeting, which bascially admitted it. He was then contacted by both sides legal teams and the article was removed.....how strange.

Yep, that's more in line with how it happened. He reads, but hasn't posted for a while. I'm sure he will text when he reads this

That doesn't really fit in with your racist theory. Look you are all over the place with this stupid theory. From your user name, you quite obviously went to noadswood and not Applemore. For what it is worth people like you do more harm than good in terms of racial harmony and continued suggestions and connotations of rasicm are completely self defeating.

Ha ha forgot about that. Actually I think he offered him his coat as Wright had decided he didn't want to play and wasn't running at all....our thoughtful Sainst fan just didn't want him to get cold

It's a lot of trawling to go back through and jackfrost is right, it was our resident administrator Clapham Saint who found some wording that potentially got them off the hook. I'd suggest the search functionality...... but on seconds thoughts :)

We have no idea what players we will bring in or what money we will have to spend, it might be (I doubt it) that we spend compabably as much as we did in League one, where the expectation is that we go out automatically.

Whilst it is obviously sad they are going to miss out on the very best ones available, the news must have forgotten that you still have to pay those players once you signed them...... Oh and of course the tax, but even putting that to one side (As per normal) there is of course the small matter of the CVA. What odds will anyone give me that come the first installment of the CVA (Q1 2012) they can't pay it or go back into admin? I'm no bookie, but i'm assumming the odds won't be that high.

Absolute complete and utter ******. The sad depiction of our society is people creating racial tension or agendas where they really don't exist..... trying their hardest to squeeze the race card in at all costs. Pathetic

I'm guessing sour mashs post is just for a reaction. In many ways we had be spolit by the years that preceeded branfoot's appointment in terms of the football we played. There is split second of footage that sums up branfoot completely. As Le Tissier dispatched his first worldee of his famous brace against Newcastle, the camera pans round to brantfoot who tells Paul moody to sit back down. The clueless clown was about to take MLT off for the mighty paul moody...... That tells you all you need to know about branfoot

I believe he is a sports teacher at Winchester. Those that do ....do - those that can't - Teach

Dont drink during the week....weekends are a different story

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/east-hampshire/pompey_to_be_probed_by_fraud_specialist_1_2699667 The News understands a number of allegations have been made to the liquidators against former directors, accusing them of continuing to trade for months while the club could not pay its bills. It will be Mr Oliver’s job to investigate those allegations – and potentially hand a file to the government’s Official Receivers’ Office for legal proceedings to begin. The investigation will focus on board members from the time when Sacha Gaydamak owned the club to the day it was placed in administration in February 2010 They're coming for you, they're coming for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you cheating skate bast@rds, they're coming for you.

Fosters is brewed in the UK (for what we drink anyway)

Apologies for quoting myself, but we have an update; http://www.businessweekly.co.uk/legal/11861-norwich-law-firm-aids-portsmouth-fc-probe Someone is putting an awful lot of money into this (I assume HMRC)..... they don't just do this for fun.

Actually it is a good friendly for both teams and at 20 quid on the day, it is a good fixture for chanarai. Quite what their squad will look like remains to be seen, but I can't help feeling, this thread is either coming to an end or is simply at the begining. The next 8 weeks will shape the next 10 years of their existence (Or not). Are the russians serious? Do they have the money? Will they get a points deduction? What happens if the russians don't follow through? Will Chanarai continue to fund things? What will happen if they don't meet the CVA requiements? Where are they with the forensic dive into what has gone on? What is happening with the independant insolvency commission investigation? Without the season ticket money how can they meet their business plan with the FA? What sanctions will the FA impose if they don't abide by their own business plan? .................and so on and so on.

I only quoted the Daily mail as a link as it was better than the CNN one, but as you BFT, hard one to call.

Good shout - Cheers

An intresting part of Sharia law. A man in Iran who threw acid over someone who rejected his advances and left her blind, is to have 5 drops of acid put in each of his eyes (That will blind him), under "retributive justice" a part of sharia law. It was supposed to be on Saturday, but has been postponed due to international pressure, but the woman is offering to carry out the blinding herself and is likely to go ahead behind close doors at some point in the future. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1387223/Irans-eye-eye-acid-punishment-sentence-branded-inhumane.html For all the international opposition and out cry, I'm not really sure, I am against the punishment, as that is the law of the land in which he lived, he would have know that to be he consequences and also it is the wish of his victim, whose life he hus ruined.

Nothing that you or I would hear about. BUt there would be a few midnight visits to the known protaganists and a few kids asking where's Daddy gone.

I was thinking about this the other day. A single libary of peoples favorites. I just missed out on the FA cup, so the these three are my favorite. First time for me it really meant something and just a reminder how to celebrate a goal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn3OtbMmaC4 I think it is the best goal ever scored in the Prem, I don't think any other player (Cantona, Beckham, Henry, Bergkamp etc etc , could have even dreamed of it) I know I am biast, but still can't get my head around it being so far down the list in the top goals lists. From the alehouse brawlers to this.
