What a prize ***t you are

Micah Hall ‏@engagePompey 57m Oxford ticket update: 82 Exec seats left @ £40 each, 115 family section, (junior required). Don't delay, buy NOW:-) 0844 847 1898 (opt 1)

Maybe they are basing it on last seasons first game - Obviously not comparable on distance, cost or day.

Is it fair to say that given inflation, multiple and large raises in TV revenue, higher ticket prices and additional revenue streams, that a 12 million pound signing today, is no real difference from a 4 million pound signing in 2001? Lowe ran a tight ship and within the Clubs self sustaining model. Are we simply living within our means in 2013? I don't have a problem with that at all by the way, just curious if people are really convinced we are still being bank rolled by the Family.

Errr.....Aren't you on another thread announcing the club shop will be closed etc etc.

I read that article this morning - Incredible

I was (What I believe to be) reliably informed a few years ago, that a certain Gareth Bale was the last of that years batch of apprentices to be offered a contract, with a now long gone member of the academy advising against it and leaving Lowe to make the ultimate decision.

I am not sure whether this is just Saints folklore in full swing, but I am sure I read that Paul Gascoigne had a trail with us. Actually it seems he did....... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gascoigne

I would have to agree. Millwall wanted him, we do him a favour by cancelling his contract, which means there is no transfer fee, he gets a signing on fee, which makes up any delta on wages. This is normally seen as a Club looking after a player, who no longer features in their plans.

Possibly - But there are still a number of players who we haven't moved on, that are surplus to requirements and drawing wages.

It seems that fatpipes has had its capacity reduced due to health and safety. Surprising to see them chasing more signings when there are such infrastructure issues. http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=506141

Did you know that with 20k in the bank that puts her in the top 10% in the country.

Bearsy can you explain this?

Rapists face arrest Murderers face arrest Burglars face arrest Etc etc.

You would have to be brain washed and paranoid to construe the billboards as racist.

Alpine is right.....I think it is just pap trying to squeeze in the racist card.

A solvency statement is essentially the Directors making a sworn declaration that teh company is able to pay all of its debts. They are usually made; either before a solvent winding up of a company, or as it appears in your case, before buying back some of its own shares. Why would your company be buying back some of its own shares? It can (in some circumstances) be a tax efficient way of shareholders taking money out of the the company utilising their capital gains allowance rather than income tax personal allowances Or more likely, one of the shareholders wants to get out/retire and rather than the other shareholder(s) pay him for his shares from their pockets, the company uses its own resources to buy his shares back and cancel them. A company isn't allowed to do this if it isn't solvent, hence the need for the declaration.

The stock is tradeable and we are a "Darling of Wallstreet" - Went out at $12 and now at $45 :) :)

Actually they did use it to a certain extent, but really just limited to how many away games you had been to and not points.
