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?

Indeed. This is up there with the demise of the quiver industry IMO.

Pompey Royal ‏@Pompey_Royal Few details out yet but tonight's news starting to sound very positive. Soon I may be an owner of Pompey AND Fratton Park. #pinchingmyself

I don't think he actually bought it.....was just given exclusivity to do so by the Miland Development administrators....but still muddy waters whatever the actual situation is...

BBC Breaking News ‏@BBCBreaking Update: Music retailer #HMV to appoint Deloitte as administrator, BBC understands http://bbc.in/ZQl5do Here's hoping HMV can drag out their administration as long as Pompey #fatchance

@NabilHassan79: Developer Stuart Robinson had been expected to buy the ground - was a major gripe of Portpin - now PST say they will fund purchase. #pompey Now I'm confused....how does this sit with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20824916

Obviously take this with a pinch of salt given the intrepid source... Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen I am informed January 31 is a date to set the valuation hearing. Effectively tomorrow’s hearing has simply been put back two weeks. #Pompey

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton Redknapp is a manager that needs backing in the transfer market. Always signs good players. Look at players he brought to Spurs/Pompey etc
