Another nagging question... Have journos been 'warned off' asking questions about the 'deal' struck between the administrator, Portpin and 'Portsmouth Community Football Club' or is it sheer incompetence that they haven 't asked the obvious questions?

I'm possibly losing the plot here (happens quite a lot) but am I right in thinking that £2.65m quoted in the original prospectus is what Stuart Robinson was going to pump into the PST fund to takeover the club? So....despite Robinson no longer being in the picture (and thus no "£2.65m" contribution) and Chainrai getting "add-ons" in addition to the £3m buy out of his fixed asset charge, the PST still managed to finance the purchase... Was it ever formally announced that Robinson had pulled out? I'm lost...

You spoke too soon...

As you seem so much more enlightened about football club administrations than us obsessed nutjobs on here, perhaps you could fill us in on the details of the "£3m + add-ons" deal with Portpin? Let me know when it's safe to start holding my breath.

I think it's what passes as ironic humour in the intellectual enclave of Portsea Island

Bangkok Saint had a valid reason so apologies to him that I insinuated otherwise, but I guess there are examples of people buying more than they need for various reasons.

Good question "Steve"...

No one at the press conference asked a single question about the financial 'deal' struck with Portpin so you're not alone in the dark...

And then the video link goes down..... tinpot
