Totally agree, but if it's as simple as that, why no instant points deduction from the FL (asked Trousers rhetorically)

But that's surely irrelevant isn't it? (in the non-make believe world outside of Pompey Towers) As per my earlier post, if Pompey and their parent company are a "single economic enitity" TODAY does it matter what they were YESTERDAY (or the day before that, or the day before the day before that, etc, etc, etc). If I had a car crash today, would I be covered by my car insurance that ran out last week? And anyway, given that the FIA was in a position to terminate NOS's contract without financial penalty, CSI didn't actually own another significant economic entity when they went into administration, as it turns out the WRC contract was worthless. So, there was only ever one actual significant economic entity in the CSI empire when they went into administration....namely CSI and PFC 2010....

Also, I was surprised not to see Luke Shaw given a run out given the rave reviews about him, so perhaps he had a niggle too? (or maybe Adkins is keeping him under-wraps during the transfer window....)

Using poetic licence, you could add Puncheon to the list (not strictly speaking injured but wouldn't be match-fit one would suggest, but techically available for selection had he been fit)

The sample was taken from Nov 2006 to Nov 2011 (i.e. c.17,000 posts over the 5 years those posts were made). Of course, I might just have fallen into a "whoooooosh" trap there.... ;-)

c.17,000 posts spread over 5 years at an average time of 1 minute per post = 0.64% of his life. Hardly significant in the general scheme of things (said Trousers, who has also wasted less than 1% of his life on here....) (This post was brought to you by the 'Matt Le God Attention to Detail Appreciation Society')

Spookily enough, I caught sight of David Dein in London over the weekend but could only grab this quick close up snap of him....

You are possibly/probably correct when talking about the past. But what about the here and now? Just because PFC were seemingly protected by CSI owning the WRC rights in the past (which it now turns out weren't actually worth anything anyway, because they were subject to the renewal being approved by the FIA) we are where we are.... So, as of TODAY, would you agree that PFC 2010 and CSI are to all intents and purposes now "one economic entity"?

One thing the FIA action highlights is the decisiveness of one sporting regulator compared to the dithering of another... FIA: "no money? You're out!" FL: "no money? Give us 9 months and we'll let you know"

Give him a chance....I would imagine he's been tied up with editing the Wikipedia page for 'single commercial entity'....

Anyone know when the next FL meeting is? (at which the PFC situation is on the agenda)

In a nutshell

Yeah, but I bet they've no idea where he's moored his super-yacht....

Some chap has an interview lined up with Adkins by the looks of things. Questions invited on Twitter as below... @jordansibley: RT @FennersFooty: I'm asking Saints Boss Nigel Adkins YOUR questions for @asktheboss for @TexacoUKFC. Send them in and I'll ask him. Tag them #asktheboss
