@pn_neil_allen: Appleton has 2-and-a-half years left on a contract worth more than £200,000 a year. Naturally #Pompey want compensation from Blackpool.
So, in the fairyland world of Pompey finances, I make it that Blackpool would owe c.£8,000 of that £200,000 contract....
And of course there's the total lack of irony awareness from Mr Allen in stating that a Pompey contract should be honoured and/or properly compensated....
