To which version of the 300 iterations of said business plan are you referring to sir?

I heard she was better up front

Citizens of country clawing its way out of massive debt hole in less well off shocker...

Fair point. When you get to my age one tends to lose all sense of time and logic

Sky Sports News ‏@SkySportsNews Sevilla say they have rejected a £14.5m bid from West Ham for striker Alvaro Negredo #ssn Get in there Mr Cortese...

Maybe Pochettino was already aware of him given the Spanish connection?

When this all goes pear shaped (not next season as I believe Pompey are far too big for L2 and will attract decent enough players to get promoted) - but when we're languishing in L1 after 2 years...missing out on players because of a pittance of a wage budget...filling the staff with friends of the board...getting more and more deluded emails from Mike "I've had such a busy week" Hall...merging the coaching staff (a physio for an assistant manager?!) ...when the gloss has worn off this brave new adventure and reality of football sets in. I'll return, and say "I told you so" and you'll wish we snapped off the hands of a rich investor while we were still an attractive prospect...this sunshine state, 'local' reporting is ridiculous.

Time for some actual journalism rather than being a mouth piece for the trust? Mike Hall? Was his job advertised...or yet more jobs for the boys?

Did we both start from the same levels of debt...? Wading in treacle versus rollerskating on tarmac = headstart

Andrew Neil ‏@afneil Fascinating to see how the prospect of Britain growing faster than Germany causes so many so much angst! Doesn't it fit your narrative?

Random thought.... If I came to an arrangement with my employer such that they didn't pay me a salary but instead made me redundant every 6 months, with a redundancy package that happened to match my 6 months salary, and re-employed me straight away each time, could I avoid paying any income tax on my "earnings" forever? Not that I'm advocating looking for loopholes in the taxation system of course...

Good lord!

Woof!
