I love this 'Admin Andy' character and laugh as the Skates lap up all his b#llsh#t ! How the h#ll he was predicting a solution in 48 hours (3 times, no less!) is beyond me ! To say that he makes it up as he goes along is being generous to him as I reckon that it's calculated to keep the few onside and the FL at bay !! No wonder the Swindon fans hate his guts !!

In the News article previously quoted, they make no secret of the fact that Cala is negotiating directly with Portpin http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/cala_to_meet_with_football_league_over_pompey_deal_1_3438794?commentssort=1&commentspage=3#commentsSection. I may be naive but surely Chanrai is purely a creditor of CSI (albeit with a charge over some of it's former assets!) and if his company is negotiating separately, this demonstrates that Portpin is being shown favour over all other parties ! This cannot be legal, surely ??

Don't you have a wife ??

I just wish that they would bring back the Milk Cup !!

According to my calculations we have had 3 deadlines now passed : a) 1 x 48 hours. b) 1 x 7 to 10 days. c) 1 x 48 hours. d) 1 x 2 to 3 weeks from early Jan which is upcoming. Credit to AA, as we sail beyond his predictions he just comes up with another one !!! Ho Ho Ho

This signing is also about improving the squad ! Recently our bench has been pretty lightweight with limited options ! Whether Falque plays regularly (and in which role!) is dependent on who is fit, who is on form, who is suspended etc... As far as I see it, we have more permutations available than before and this can only be a good thing ! Same applies to Lee and anyone else we might sign within this window, it adds to the concept of 'strength in depth' !

The guy is a f#cking idiot, would be a great replacement for the Clot as a source of amusement on this thread ! (Ps. still can't believe that they'd go for him, surely there must be somebody else lurking in the wings!).

Sorry mate, you are about 5 hours too late with this one (#47579) !

Spent the day playing golf only to come back and find that this thread had advanced 3 full pages ! Having worked my way through it now, I feel that a few gongs are in order for exceptional service to the cause : ROFL - Morphy Richards, Corpie and Broiler. PMSL - Toastie, Phew, CH and Appy Daze. LOL - Setting 5, Kipper, Old Fella and Holepuncture. Apologies to those I missed out but you know who you are and you are not forgotten ! Bring on Signor Cala, the saviour of the Skates

The Eagles !

TBH, I would be happy with " 3 Leagues Under the Saints " !

This is a thread about the possibility of us signing Billy Sharp (from Doncaster!) not Lionel Messi (from Barcelona!) FFS ! He may be a pretty good little player but he is not the messiah, he has scored about the same amount of goals as Guly (with less assists!) and many of you think that Guly is cr@p !! There are plenty of other fish in the sea (not Skates I hasten to add ) so please have a bit of faith in NA, NC and the scouting team to find them !

I assume that you have just rolled out of a bar in Sydney ! Must have spent a fair bit of time in there too !! Greetings, hope the hangover isn't too bad when you get there

To be absolutely fair and objective, I think that this guy is too good for them ! I hope that their new crook owners (should they ever arrive?) sack him forthwith and bring back an idiot like Clotterill, just for our amusement you understand !!

Harajuku on a Sunday is an experience, it seems that everybody leaves their inhibitions at home and wanders around in fancy dress ! http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=harajuku+area+japan&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=R1YJT7_fJMa18QPBxsHAAQ&ved=0CFsQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=785 I also used to like going to the Isetan department store in Shinjuku when they opened at 10am (precisely!), the manager with white gloves on, opened the doors and you were met with a long line of staff bowing to the floor in unison saying "Ohayou gozaimasu" (good morning). It sounds a bit naff but it was a real experience ! Tbf, I have not been there for years but I used to visit a few times a year on business and always enjoyed it, except for the time I stayed in a room the size of a space capsule (eerie that was!). Good luck !

It's the 7th of January ! The manager has stated that we are intent on bringing in new players of quality ! Since Cortese has been here the squad has constantly been improved ! We are top of the league and an attractive proposition for ambitious footballers ! You take a lot of convincing ?

There have been suggestions that Jack Stephens will play, I guess that if this actually happens then Butterfield will be on his bike and out of the building ??

"who dealt with Portsmouth’s previous administration in 2010" Given that this quote is taken from an article in 'Insolvency News', they certainly seem to assume that Pompey are in administration ! God knows what sort of technicality will provide an escape route from a 10 points deduction, but I'm sure we'll find out soon !

Turning the question on it's head, can anyone think of a 'less attractive' proposition than buying Pompey ?? Only Rangers (who have a possible huge tax bill to pay) spring to mind for me !

If you can be arsed to scroll back to the Swindon aftermath, you will find that AA is quoted with a 101 deadlines and predictions in interviews and eventually the whole thing took over 3 years ! I wouldn't give much (any?) credence to his dates and times as they are always covered by words like 'shoud be', 'fairly confident', etc, etc....

If he didn't pander to the deludedest, then nobody would be asking for his autograph ! To be fair, he is not just in it for the big bucks, he needs his hefty ego to be massaged as well !!!

Be nice if they had a bubble with starting points in Surrey, Devon and Kuala Lumpur !!

There is no doubt that Cortese is trying hard to appease Alpine_Saint !!
