Alps, you've changed your user name!

Dohhh! HaHa!

Yeh right, like anyone in their right mind would turn down a sixfold increase in salary!

Technically, the gap hasn't changed, buy I know what you mean.

How quickly people forget, as to how we come to be in this mess, and trust me, another term of labour, and we would of been bankrupt!

Short term memory function I take it! so I'll refresh it for you......... IT WASN'T THE TORIES WHO PUT US IN THIS MESS! There.

Skysports, second only to the mail in being right!

I think a bit of mythology has developed but here are a few Crop Ho gems to lol at: Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Not going to heppen, certainly not signing Eto'o/ Villa etc but wouldn't be surprised to see Maradona acting as some sort of "ambassador" (call it what you want) for PFC lol Originally Posted by Corporate Ho But I thought no-one would buy Pompey Nick. You told me so repeatedly and so did the Romsey Retard. You kept saying you were a much more attractive proposition. Don't worry, I've read he's only 10 times as wealthy as Abramovich lol Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Yeah, it's way too high although our turnover for last year was £70m (!) and with the players that are out of contract in the summer such as Campbell, Lauren and Kanu who are big earners we'll shave around £15m off the wage bill. Even allowing for some replacements to come in that will take us down to around 60% of our income which is the Prem's guideline. like that ever happened. Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Keep up doofus, it's not Riquelme, it's Saviola. Players Out: Hreidarsson - Celtic/ Reading Sol Campbell - Newcastle/ Villareal Utaka - Rangers/ Lens/ Rennes Kanu - Fiorentina/ Ajax (£2m!!!) Lauren - AEK Athens/ Bolton/ Wigan Kranjcar - Arsenal Players In: Saviola/ Drenthe - Real Madrid (Loan) Joey Barton (£3m)/ Benjani/ Michael Johnson (£6m combined) (Man City) Edu - Valencia (Loan) Manuel Fernandes - Valencia (£6m) Gary O'Neil - Boro (£4.5m) Edin Dzeko - Wolfsburg (£7m) Mirel Radio - Steaua Bucharest (£4.5m) Ronald Zubar - Marseille (£6m) Aruna Dindane - Lens (£6m) Blaise Matuidi - St Etienne (£8m) Well you got Dindane in the end, lolz all round Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Was told late last night that the SA group looking to buy us had a hitch in their plans but that they now have the finance to buy the club pretty much in place. They have around £60m and Gaydamak wants £65m. Have been told that the deal should (unless something else crops up) happen some time in January. Have also been told that this group don't want Adams and that he's likely to be moved out before the deal is announced. So keep watching. think you should sack your source. Originally Posted by Corporate Ho I've been told that Pompey's financial situation is nowhere near as bad has been suggested by the media. Gaydamak sold his stake in one of his other companies for £35m recently (Antanta Pioglobal if anyone wants to look it up) so while he won't want to use all of that cash on PFC it gives him some breathing space if it's needed in an emergency. bless Originally Posted by Corporate Ho PMSL. So when Storrie says this he's the man to listen to but when he says we have no financial problems and that we won't be selling players in January you tell me he's a liar and that we're going bust. I love the way you lot change your tune when it suits you. mega lolz Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Unfortunately for me it looks as though the Chinese group (whose bid isapparently still on the table) are going to be outbid by the South African offer (see story below from the South African newspaper). Would rather the Chinese lot won as they seem prepared to put more into the club but Gaydamak will make more from the African one, not just initially but also an involvement in any stadium that's built. There's also a group from the UAE sniffing around who met with Gaydamak last week. Looks like I've ended up with egg foo yung on my face over the date on this one but I'm still willing to bet that we get new owners before you do. words fail me Originally Posted by Corporate Ho There were several groups/ individuals who have been looking at buying Pompey. The German group were one of them, as dear old Nick Nack confirmed he'd heard. The Arab group that were going to buy Charlton were also interested but dropped out when Gaydamak wanted a company he has interests in to be given the building contract for the new stadium. There was also a group backed by money from the Rausing family (owners of the Tetrapak, richest family in Britain I believe) and a couple of others. However, I've been told that a deal ha now been done and will be announced within a couple of weeks. it keeps on coming Originally Posted by Corporate Ho If the buyers are from the four groups I was told about I don't think spending £130m on a stadium will make much of a dent in their finances. keep dreaming Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Nick, nice to get into a decent & sensible conversation with you for once. The £130m you quote is not just for the stadium. The plans also include a 10,000 seat arena for concerts and also other commercial developments (I assume retail, bars etc). Finding a buyer doesn't seem to be a problem, we have at least four groups sniffing around and like I said earlier, I'm told a deal will be done before Xmas. Haven't heard about Germans but if you move a little further North in Europe you wouldn't be too far wrong from the group leading the pack at the moment. so which non-existent group were leading the non-existent pack? The scandinavian Al-Faraj? Originally Posted by Corporate Ho I've been told that there are three bids on the table for Pompey. One is a Thai group, one is a Russian guy whose name I've been told but won't repeat on here (he's very, very wealthy though - we're talking multiple billions) and the third is in all likelihood not arabs but Hong Kong Chinese - again mega Billions. go on, you may as well spill the beans now? Originally Posted by Corporate Ho Good to see what Stuey said - that mega rich investors wouldn't be lining up to buy Pompey - coming true isn't it? He's a genius that Stuey Maybe Stuey was right in the end eh? Bl00dy brilliant RSVP Corp Ho Ho Ho

Looks like he's off to Burnley then! according to South today.

How the flick, have you come up with that deduction, from the OS article? I have read it three times to see if I missed anything, and no-where, does it suggest he is off, I fear that you and many others on here, are wishing this to happen, so as to have another pop at NC!

We're all going on a.......summer holiday!!

That'll help make up his mind!!

Can't see that being true, unless a fee has been agreed, he is contracted to Saints you know.

Lol, and that from you Alps. You are definitely, a glass half empty type of fella!

Give it to me, and I'll drop it off when I next go over!

If we go up in the 'sash', then we should keep it, as it will be deemed to be lucky!
