Fook me corp, ive been on here for years and reading your posts back in the old Saintsforever days. You always came across as a half intelligent skate, but it you genuinely believe or think that then your in trouble. Very poor. Don't try harder, just give up and dont post.

The difference is when you have just sticthed the world up for 120 million, you do what everybody else does (Infact i don't think others would even go near 10k a week players let alone 20k) and don't get 4 less able players, you get 1 or maybe at a stretch 2. But it is a mind set that you and your folk don't get. So corpy if you bing two players in under teh wgae cap that you have set then thats a 20k a week saving....a cool million pounds

For those of us that just couldn't get the maths to work out for the blue few, in terms of expenditure vs income, its looks like we have found the problem. http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/home/Pompey-s-Educational-Rewards-1518.aspx Its seems our fishy friends work in ratios of 1 - 3 and all this has been down to a miscalculation. It's an easy mistake, but as a rule of thumb, if they say they are 40 million in debt, what that actually means is 120 million. If they say they are a month away of exiting administration, that actually means 3 months. If they say their wage cap is 10k a week, it means its actually 30k If they say 10 free tickets per school, that actually means 30 and by default if they say the total is 1,500 free tickets, it is actually 4,500. Which is very noble, but what about those life long, bestest fans in the world who cue for hours, but don't get a ticket as its constantly sold out? It's not just the creditors who miss out by this basic maths error, it's the super duper fans who can't get to see thier team (Well mostly other teams players, in their kit)

mlg, You might not agree with leftbacks views on cortese and reed, but i don't think he has made up any stuff - some of it might be exagerated, third hand or biased against his feelings for cortese, but im pretty certain he is closer than any other poster on here and has certainly had some dealings with cortese. I have a guess who i think he is (Not Franny), but don't dismiss him out of hand

Ironic that he was the last of his batch apprentices at Saints to get a contract. Apparently it went to a vote and from what I understand went to the wire, I also know (Albeit second hand and why it wouldnt be fair to name him) a certain senior Acadmey figure voted against offering him a contract as he didnt think he would make it. In fairness though, he has stood out much more as a professional footballer than he ever did as a youth team or reserve player. Great to see him doing well, big big move for him in January or the summer.

sorry pfc the FAO post was for you not pes.

So you didnt sell your full allocation then Infact what you sold was the minimum block you could take, with then a massive 170 on the night. So what you were parading as a total sell out, was in fact, (As i rightly pointed out) a totally **** poor attendance from a poorly supported, small team. At least we now have the facts.

You are so thick...... What is the capacity, then as a minimum, you get 15 % ..... Go do the maths. As it happens Millwall typically give up to 3000, but obviously not to small clubs like yours. You sent the other batch of tickets back, due to lack of interest. You are having a "scoring goals at this level all his life" moment

And now for the factual version; We as in Saints played them last year and took well over 2000. pfc, were not limited to 1000 tickets last night, that is the allocation you took up, you didn't take up the option on the second allocation of tickets, (Does it still work that you have to pay the total amount for each batch? .... might explain why you didn't LOL) The game was always going to have pay on the night unless you sold the full allocation, which you didn't. Thats not what this thread is about, but a **** poor attendance yet again. top fans my arse.

What all 1100 of them PMSL. Anyway you said that was the serious bit and then completely forgot to mention about the admin bit and the threat of not being able to pay wages. Your not a director up there pes are you???

That can't be right we took over 2000 last year..... Oh i see it is. 1000 tickets sold and 170 on the night. top top fans

Not quite Mero, not quite. Ive followed this story (Probably too much) and whether the dates were deliberate or fortunate for you lot, you were never going to get a points deduction from administration this year. But from day 1 of this season, your biggest threat has always been the tax case (Point deduction wise) and that is still the case. The precendent has been set and upheld and if Storrie is found guilty, its a minus 9 or 12...... (Wouldn't you lot just love him for that) In the last two cases (Certainly Watford) they followed every rule to the letter and took their evidence to the FL and still got whacked. You lot have taken the **** out of the FL and FA and left a trail of destruction behind you, with two fingers in the air..... so I cant see any dispensation, or appetite to help you out. My guessing is that just as you cement a play off place, you'll be thrown back down the table..... I'm sure no one will laugh too loudly.

???? why

Local Radio up in London, reporting that Fulham are playing Saints today in a behind closed doors friendly. The objective (From Fulhams perspective) is to start getting Johnson fit again. Couldnt see anything else or find anything else out about it.

Well that dispells the train of thought that a high post count makes your posts more credible:facepalm: As much as we have found memories of WGS, are you really suggesting that we sack Adkins and put WGS in charge. We were good for WGS and he was good for us, but it's over and Adkins is our man.

Do not under estimate the significance of this; A player comes down from the Midlands, trains on the Friday and does the prematch warm up, with the manager expecting him to play, only for the administrator to pull the plug and send him home 20 minutes from kick off. Is he worried thatthe company might fold and he will be liable for any expenditure? Or his it that the FL have said if you want your golden share, no more expensive loan signings? Or is it that they just can't make payroll in two weeks time? Everything would have been arranged by lampitt and andriod has come over the top of him at the very last minute - Why? Whilst we will probably never find out, what ever scenario it is, (Especially if it is about the money) the answer isnt a good one. For all the bizarre things that have gone on at that dump, this jumps straight into the top 5. Watch this space.

Ouch, sorry fella. That's not good. But if you can bring them out the other side of that, then how ever long it takes, they will worship you forever. Don't want to pry too deeply but is it serious or just a bit of weed?

It's just the best thing in the world. No rule book on how to do it, completely different for EVERY child, but all you need is a bit of love and they reward you 1000000000000000 million times over. They will of course stitch you up, cost you a fortune and give you endless sleepness nights, but that's by the by. Just got to navigate my way through the next few years, with my Daughter being 13 and talking about boys, without getting locked up. Any tips?

The pub next to the Alfred is 3.00 and always has spaces, its about as close to the ground as you can get.

I make this the third or fourth mole thread over the last 5 years. Tried everything, from some sonar ******** that cost a fortune to standing over the mound with a pitch fork. The only think that worked was hosepipe in the exhaust with the other end shoved in the hole/tunnel, leave running for a couple of hours and job done.

The money problem was always going to come at some point, it has just come a lot earlier than we thought. If the money has run out already how are they going to pay the first CVA payment in March? Rallyboy was right all along - The CVA is unworkable and the FL have realised this.
