He would not. Chinny keeps the ground. Charges 500k per annum to PST Newco on a 99year lease with increases on promotion(s) (haha) but no reductions on relegation. (He would still build Tesco's if PSTnewcofolds) PSTNewco offer 100k to the CVA fund. Chinny books 49mil value of the lease (that he can then sell or leverage) PST get the club for a peanut and bingo, no debt is loaded onto PSTnewco Simples

Muddied it may be. BUT, his CVA "Conditional Offer" may come back and bite him in the bum. My offer is 500k subject to all the players being sold. TB on day 28. Oh well, the players aren't sold, hard luck your CVA is invalid so a new one gives you Ownership of Nottarf Krap and a rental income of 50 quid a year forever. PST now own the football club. Oh and look all the earners just left.

Had it all planned, I had a spy all ready to go (FrankfurtexdubaiSaint) was going & sending back pics and woosh, the lucky sod got a ticket for The Cure.......

Let us not get too obscured here. THERE IS NO CVA. There is a CONDITIONAL CVA. The Conditional CVA will come into effect IF the Conditions are met within the 28 day period. In THEORY if Chinny decides the conditions are not met then the trust COULD make a new CVA proposal (ie offer) So while they may be ready in theory the PST could make a CVA offer of far LESS than Chinny offered IF they wait and IF they think Chinny will walk. Sooooooo Players are not moved on. TB & team not trying to move the players. That makes Chinny walk, Pompey Fans Trust can make an offer the next day and THEN the players can decide to walk "In the interests of the sport"... In other words. I smell Chinny being stitched up. I may be wrong but it fits

Yeah I thought WTF as well, but tonight the first team have a game near to Geneva. I have heard rumours that the crowd may be lower than expected tonight The Cure are playing at Paleo festival just up the road. Anyway what we reckon about the game? ANYONE ITK on team selection?

For the golfers that pass by 1. These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. ~ Sam Snead 2. I was three over today: One over a house, one over a patio and one over a swimming pool.. ~ George Brett 3. Actually, the only time I ever took out a one-iron was to kill a tarantula. And I took a 7 to do that. ~ Jim Murray 4. The only sure rule in golf is - he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie. ~ Mickey Mantle 5. Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them. ~ Kevin Costner 6. I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par. ~ Chi Chi Rodriguez 7. After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye. ~ Chi Chi Rodriguez 8. The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree. ~ Brian Weis 9. Swing hard in case you hit it. ~ Dan Marino 10. My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered. ~ Lord Robertson 11. Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air. ~ Jack Benny 12. There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground. ~ Ben Hogan 13. Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you're the best. ~ Jack Nicklaus 14. The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf. It's almost a law. ~ H.. G. Wells 15. I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course. ~ Billy Graham 16. If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play at it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's golf. ~ Bob Hope 17. While playing golf today, I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake. ~ Henny Youngman 18. If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.. ~ Jack Lemmon 19. You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work. ~ Lee Trevino 20. I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced. ~ Lee Trevino=

Ah looks like it could be Leeds who seem to be up for grabs at the moment. A Sheikh with no money. Now where have we heard that story before?

Well, he has been spending time down here, and you were stalking him on our FB page..........

Was NC practicing to be our new box to box CM?

hmmmmmmm

Me. I didn't travel

I blame Dune. We all know he loves Gib But then in reality. Think it through. Gib Tourist Board no doubt employed some dipstick with an MBA to be their new Marketing Guru. They came up with the idea of an International football tournament (You probably have to have been to Gib to see why that is so funny). They pumped some money into the project (20 seats on Easyjet or Gib Airways for 50 quid return bought 6 months ago and then went looking for teams to travel and play. Let's face it, most of the lads in Salisbury & District Div 5 have full time work so after they failed to attract any of them they were left with???? There'll be an idiot with an MBA somewhere in that decision making chain

I still got in first to have that in the sweepstake

FFS don't let Eric see this thread, NC & eating & boxes...

Alternatively from Gillet & Howard's point of view, they may be called trialists, they may be free agents, but at least this way they personally at least get a pre-season with a football club rather than working on their own. Might help them find a proper club to sign for later on

Wonder if anyone has learnt how to do a cash flow forecast at Nottarf yet? 4,500 ST's sold wasn't it? Cannot believe any of those 3 will want to play for less than 5k a week

Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel..' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies. 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?' Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure. Lesson 2: A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.. The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.' Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.' Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity. Lesson 3: A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone. 'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.' Puff! He's gone. 'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.' Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. Lesson 4: An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. Lesson 5: A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bull **** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.. Lesson 6: A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Morals of the story: (1) Not everyone who ****s on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of **** is your friend.. (3) And when you're in deep ****, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

I get confused, what with our weekend being Friday & Saturday and all that. So, can someone remind me, was it last week or this week that 3 players were leaving?

Right. Uncle Phil speaking Guys, take it easy on Mr Allen. You're starting to get a bit too personal in all of this. Take a step back for just one moment, think of what is true reality. ie the PTS Thread. We are the one truth, the one meaning to life, without this thread the world would be a far far nastier place. We are a document of Historical Importance. We are through some of our more eloquent posters, in line for a Nobel Prize for Literature. Rallyboy is currently odds on to be the next Poet Laureate. Now, within this journey, within this light in our lives there has been always the need for one Constant. This thread NEEDS the comic brilliance of the likes of Corpy and of course Allen. Their perfect Comedic timing, their bending of the English Language into double or even triple meanings are, quite possibly THE funniest thing since Cannon and Ball. We THRIVE on them, we should not be wishing ill on poor Mr Allen, we should be applauding him. His genius deserves a far wider audience. In fact I am sure that when the first of the PTS books (edited by Crabby) gets published (and just before we go for our IPO) I am sure that with our continued support, Mr Allen will have been able to contribute enough hysterical one-liners from his twitter account to earn us a second fortune as we publish our sequel - The rantings of the Deranged. SO, let us stop the bitterness, let us hug a tree and then embark upon a campaign on Twitter to encourage and support him. This thread is the home of nutjobs. It needs Mr Allen as much as he needs his free tickets for his football on a weekend. All power to Neil, prime candidate for Sports Journalist of the Year

Enough said

this

Yeah that's what I meant, Just take their League position & give it to someone worthy MKD stylee

Meanwhile back at the big crowds debate. Saints got about 10,000 or so for the kick=around yesterday & seeing the Olympic Torch. Meanwhile up in Salisbury last week, they got some 35,000 into Hudson's Field (Municipal Soccer Fields) to see the Torch. Think it is time to liquidate the few and do an MK Dons and move the team to a place where people turn out to watch

Oh as nobody else has chosen it. Can I have "They will get away with it" and play in L1 for my entry in the sweepstake? Thanks No evidence for this at all, just that nobody else has picked the most ludicrous scenario. Idiots. This is the PTS, the most ludicrous idea ALWAYS happens
