@solentsport: #pompey's administrators hope to complete the sale of the club to Portpin early next week

So roughly two thirds the price of your average CVA? That's easily doable for Pompey then....

I would take any statement in that article with a pinch of salt as it is littered with contradictions. For example, in one sentence the threat of liquidation has been "eradicated" whereas in a later sentence the threat of liquidation has "dramatically reduced"

They seem to be completely glossing over the fact that the Portpin and/or The Trust are yet to agree (as far as we know) to the stringent conditions put on the table by the Football League

A good piece but this spoils it slightly: "Portsmouth are believed to owe at least £58m to various creditors". It's misguided statements like that which prove how effective Pompey and the local media have been in airbrushing the debt from CVA1...

'Oldredeye' posted on The News comments section yesterday that he understood the next PPs were due "tomorrow" (I.e. today). I believe 'oldredeye' is a member of the PST bid team... Or, it could be some bloke making it all up of course! This is the Internet afterall :-)

What's happened to that Sam McQueen chap? The one that was banging in the goals for the U21s earlier in pre-season?

It's what some people might call a convenient coincidence...

So, they've moved it to clash with the climax of the Olympics track and field events in order to avoid a clash with a football game that no-one cares about? Interesting marketing tactic... :-)

The good people of Portsmouth...comparing apples with oranges since the beginning of time...

The Pompey Pages ‏@Pompey_Pages @Supermum0239PFC don't agree with the council cutting in areas such as that but the club has given this city much success and revenue Yeah, right.....Give with one hand and taketh with the other.....

Is a club allowed to start a season with a bunch of trialists? Not sure what the rules are but is it inconceivable that they will be allowed to limp through the start of the season with a squad that (in the main) isn't actually contracted to the club?

Pompey girl ‏@Supermum0239PFC If Joe Smith's the butchers went into administration not once but TWICE, would taxpayers £ bail him out? I think not! Love #Pompey but..... The Pompey Pages ‏@Pompey_Pages @Supermum0239PFC the money is also being paid back to the council, it is a secured loan not a gift. Pompey girl ‏@Supermum0239PFC @Pompey_Pages My disabled kids have had their VITAL services cut by PCC through LACK OF FUNDS. Yet, PCC can fund a football club?! Is that one of us or does someone in Pompeyland actually 'get it'?
