So, Birch is still on 'square one' in his quest to find a buyer...?

Why the **** aren't other clubs in the relegation zone kicking up a big media stink about this kind of bravado coming out of Nottarf Krap?

...

Good to see that Labour are capitalising on this Tory 'debacle' by cleaning up at by-elections.... I take it back, the great British public aren't that stupid afterall...

I think I prefer the football forum negativity that results from not winning a football game to the negativity that unfathomably arises from an upbeat financial statement. Sigh. All of which reminds me....we have a game in a little over 40 hours. Hoorah.

Tony Blair? ;-)

Source?

If I'd known John Prescott was on the show tonight I'd have stayed in.

I'm with you on this one. I'm seriously hoping that Ed Milliband wins the next election. Especially after the disappointment of Cala missing out on Pompey.

It's against SWF rules and regulations to even think about bringing up what Labour did and didn't do in recent history. Dontcha know?

At least the government wouldn't have been slagged off if they had kept shtum up until the unions call a strike (assuming they do).... You wouldn't have heard Ed Milliband saying "why didn't the government give people more notice? The calling of a strike only gives 7 days notice and of course people are going to panic buy on day 1" None of the above would have happened....

Meanwhile, it's business as usual at Fratton Park... @solentsport: #Pompey boss Michael Appleton says he's expecting Football League to sanction an extension to Chris Maguire's loan from #DCFC til end of ssn

I often use this site for this kind of thing: http://www.mouseprice.com/house-prices

The key thing Rogers highlights IMO is that we are ahead of where they planned for us to be at the moment. In other words, they hadn't planned for us to be in the Premier League next season (in terms of the financial planning). Yes, we knew there was a "5 year plan" but I don't think we were ever sure whether that meant we would aim to get to the Premier League in year 3, 4 or 5.

It's the experts that come on here telling the so called experts that they're not experts that I enjoy most

No wonder Mr Walsh has been looking a tad strained on SSN of late....

Can I take the absence of a denial to my second guess as significant....?

According to the relevant Insolvency Act, the administrator (Birch) has to hold an 'Initial Creditors Meeting' within 10 weeks of being appointed. The deadline for the meeting is thus 27th April (the day before the end of the season as it happens). By comparison, AA held the Initial Creditors Meeting for CSI the day before their deadline. He only sent out the invites to the meeting 2 weeks beforehand. Agree that it's all getting a bit tight to arrange said meeting for the creditors of Portsmouth Football Club but given the logistics are likely to be far greater for PFC than they were for CSI (i.e. more creditors to deal with) I think we are probably fast approaching the point at which the meeting either needs to be announced or a "plan B" put into action....

It wouldn't surprise me if it's Cortese himself doing the speculation seed planting. He's a banker. Bankers talk up their assets to raise perception of value on an ongoing basis. Keeps people on their toes. Probably.

Hmmm..."a consortium of hedge funds".....*dislike*

I think Cortese said in yesterday's interview (or was it Lallana?) that seeing the work start has given the lads a mental boost as they can see the future starting to take shape. That said, psychologically, it could work either way I guess.
