@SimonPeach: Just had confirmation myself from #QPR that manager Mark Hughes has NOT gone. Quite possibly the shortest thread in SWF history...

@JamesOlley: Waiting for official confirmation but sounds like #qpr have sacked Mark Hughes. (Chief Football Correspondent for the London Evening Standard.)

Oops....wrong forum...oh well, probably not that exciting anyway... (Mods - please delete this thread - cheers)

All Chainrai has to do is highlight the £13.4m valuation that Birch / PKF concurred with when they produced their interim creditors report in April 2012 (as highlighted by Torres earlier)... surely Birch would have got an independent valuation to corroborate the value he happened to find in the clubs books some 2 months before producing his report to the creditors....?

I would concur that Cortese does seem to tread a fine line between "hard nosed businessman" and "potentially shooting self in foot"

Unless we know why SFC refused to pay this firm it's impossible to deduce whether or not its "the same" behaviour as Pompey. If we didn't pay because we've blown all the money on Gaston Ramirez then, yes, its "exactly the same as them lot down the road". If we didn't pay because 'someone' at the club got arsey with the firm doing the work (for whatever reason) then, no, it's not the same as down the road. Without knowing why the club seemingly fell out with the firm I'm not about to judge whether the club were right or wrong in taking the course of action they did. That said, the fact that they ultimately chose not to contend the court order is perhaps revealing. Or, as is sometimes the case in business, the club felt that it had made it's point and that it would ultimately pay the balance having given the company a bloody nose for its trouble. As I say, we'll probably never know why there was a dispute in the first place so I'm not going to jump to conclusions - I'll leave that to the likes of the Daily Echo.

Yet further proof (as if any was needed) that Pompey have the bestest support in the whole wide world.... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/news/Coventry-Ticket-Information-3902.aspx "Pompey have sold out their initial allocation of 450 tickets for Saturday’s League One trip to Coventry (3pm kick-off). The Sky Blues have sent out another 200 tickets and they should be available from tomorrow afternoon."

@GraemeBailey: Yohan Cabaye looks to be out until the New Year, massive blow for Newcastle. Alan Pardew's squad being really stretched. #NUFC

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/mendez-laing-hoping-fresh-start-can-inspire-pompey-1-4498489 "‘There were a few other clubs who wanted me on loan as well, but this is the one that stood out to me the most. It’s still a big club" "A few other clubs didn’t really appeal to me. I know this club likes to play football as well, which is one of the main things which attracted me." 'Other clubs wanted me but Pompey stood out to me as the club to come to'.....hmmm.....sounds familiar....

Good spot that man.....funny how a property can be given a high value when the administrator is trying to secure the highest possible return for the creditors.... Probably worth someone forwarding the original doc to the court in due course (just in case it slips the Trust's mind to make the court aware of PKF's effective endorsement of Portpin's valuation....) Link here: http://www.pkf.co.uk/web/pkf.nsf/82D34E3438E9E594802579DC0052E1E9/$file/pkfjaproposals.pdf This line might also be of interest: "Whilst we have obtained a valuation in respect of the Company’s freehold property, we are not in a position to disclose it on grounds of commercial sensitivity."

Pompey loan player in not wanting to stay at the club shocker.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/defender-leaves-blues-1-4498490 Surely some mistake....how come he hasn't been mesmerised by playing in front of the bestest fans in the land....?

Saints unchanged for 3 games on the trot IMO

Depends what the reason for him leaving was.

A right that was ultimately withdrawn by Malwhinny of course. Ah, the halcyon days of the Football League when they had some balls....
