Yes, I know one shouldn't joke about this kinda thing but couldn't resist making a connection to the subject matter of this thread (so apologies in advance to anyone offended!)... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/health/local-health/increased-diagnosis-of-people-with-dementia-1-4683002

Neil Allen ‏@NeilAllenPN If the other 91 clubs donated #Pompey £1.5m each, we could clear our debts in full. Is that really too much to ask? It's time to help out! ivor john griffin ‏@ivorinthailand @NeilAllenPN that's a great idea, but you know it would never happen. Even a hundred grand would be too much to ask Neil Allen ‏@NeilAllenPN .@ivorinthailand If the rich clubs don't pay up, you'd have to say it's their fault - not #Pompey 's - that our creditors haven't been paid (please Lord let that Pompey fan's reply to the spoof account be genuinely serious, just for the chuckle factor)

La Senza went bust? I always thought they were pants... #I'mhereallweek

Nineteen Canteen ‏@nineteencanteen If #pompey go bust what will myopic #saintsfc fans tweet about? Need 2 clubs steeped in tradition 2 have 1 of football's greatest rivalries.

Paul Lewis ‏@paullewismoney HMV will not be accepting gift cards and vouchers. But the buyer can claim the money back from debit/credit card issuer using chargeback.

Banks have signed up to this separate voluntary code (for debit cards in particular)... http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/sale-of-goods/your-rights-when-paying-by-credit-card/chargeback-on-credit-and-debit-cards/

Come on, own up....who's hacked into the Pompey OS?

Liverpool in "we'll say that we didn't really rate him that much anyway" shocker...

One assume the astute Mr Cortese is on the blower to Cagliari as we speak? "Hello....yes, we're about to sign this Norwegian chap instead of Astori...£10m now, take it or leave it?"

Who next I wonder? Blockbuster Video? Never quite fathomed how they've managed to keep going over the last few years...

Why do we keep signing Forren centre backs....? #I'llfetchmycoat

Andrew Sharp ‏@MrBlanding @LivEchonews scouting for Southampton, shows how far @LFC have fallen if players wnt to go thr instd

Liverpool Echo ‏@LivEchonews BREAKING: #LFC abandon plans to hand a trial to Vegard Forren after his club Molde agreed a £4m deal with Southampton - story to follow

Red kit confirmed by club

All of which is best case scenario for the longevity of this thread

That's what they tried a year ago....and failed...

And of course, none of those potential destinations for the cash actually include the purpose for which the parachute payments were designed for in the first place.

Meanwhile, in "how dare you question the Trust?" land... @pfcespana: @blueballoo2000 given fans have raised £1m and bid is £6m that gives PST what 16% roughly of club. Is that accurate? @ollybirchpfc: @pfcespana @blueballoo2000 no! @blueballoo2000: @pfcespana nope, it's just a deliberately negative slant from someone who has chosen not to invest because of a lack of suitable return. @pfcespana: @ollybirchpfc @blueballoo2000 not my numbers PST numbers @blueballoo2000: @pfcespana @ollybirchpfc nope - PST clear about numbers for fans. The finance numbers will be explained when they can be. @blueballoo2000: @pfcespana @ollybirchpfc not interested in explaining the deal to you even if I could to be honest. @SjMaskell: @pfcespana @blueballoo2000 No. You are neglecting to account for the Parachute payments. @SjMaskell: @pfcespana @blueballoo2000 You are also underestimating the value of community shares @blueballoo2000: @SjMaskell @pfcespana and having no idea of what the £6m figure actually comprises. @SjMaskell: @pfcespana @blueballoo2000 Your figures are at the best guesses. Why not wait for the plan to be published when confidentiality not an issue?
