I agree with Labour's key sticking point on this one..... yes, there should be a cap but it should take into account regional average wages and living costs.

Ian Abrahams @Moose_talkSPORT just hearing Leeds have sacked Simon Grayson

Peter Henley @BBCPeter Portsmouth North MP asked David Cameron at PMQs to support local ownership of Pompey FC Retweeted by Tony Husband Mark W Clark @Coastguard @BBCPeterH Is he suggesting that there are more local shady outfits that can join the long list of foreign criminals that have owned it?

James Pearce @Pearcesport Redknapp: " I always pay my tax. I'd rather pay too much tax than not enough. I always pay my tax" From not knowing what happens with his money ("My accountant looks after that") to categorically knowing first hand that he always pays his tax. Make up your mind 'Arry. Either you know about your finances or you don't....

I'll have you know that those of us slightly to the right of centre are some of the most generous people on Earth. Fact.

Ah, cool. Yep, that would explain what I was seeing. Cheers

David Brown @DavidhBrown #Mandaric: "My enthusiastic tank is coming close to being empty..." #Mandaric: "...and one day when I leave this country and go back to America.. "I am going back [to US] with sadness and unrepairable damage to my family. I ask myself 'why?' James Pearce @Pearcesport Mandaric's lawyers call 2 character witnesses. 1st is American. "Milan will race you up stairs in subway. Doesn't drive round in limousine" That's end of Mandaric's defence. 10 minute break. Then Redknapp defence will begin and jury will be told if Redknapp will take the stand

To be slightly fair, he said "one or two" rather than "lots"

Write to him? Seriously....

Ok. Time for someone to write to their MP to raise a question next week asking for the PM to protect the interest of UK taxpayers, local charities and businesses.....just for balance....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16831798 Tory Penny Mordaunt urges the PM to tell HM Revenue and Customs to meet Portsmouth FC to discuss how to keep the club afloat. Mr Cameron promises to do all he can to keep the club afloat

Portsmouth Penny Mourdaunt MP just asked a question in PMQs about Pompey!!!! Cameron: "We must do everything we can do to keep this friendly rivalry (with Southampton) going" Bloody CaMoron! Who the f*** am I going to vote for now!?!

James Pearce @Pearcesport Mandaric says he's spent his life "Paying taxes and doing things the proper way, like every proper person should" More discussion in Redknapp/Mandaric trial about name of Redknapp's Monaco account. Mandaric "Rosie was a very cute dog" Prosecution claim Rosie47 was secret account. Mandaric :"No, there was no secret account. There are no secrets about this at all" Pros: "This was off record bonus paid to your manager offshore." Mandaric "That's nothing to do with truth. Sad I have to defend it" Mandaric says "never in a million years" had he discussed with Redknapp trying to hide money in Monaco Mandaric says entitled to be friends with his manager + make investment for him, in same way entitled to holiday and play tennis with him Mandaric: "Being here (in Court) is not something that I deserve, but hopefully one day we can forget it" Cross examination of Mandaric has finished. We wait to find out if his legal team will call other witnesses before Redknapp's defence begins

Post @timesnewsdesk

Anyone got Mandaric's phone number? I've no problem with being insulted by him. He can insult me all he likes in fact....

Maybe Harry and Milan were planning a civil partnership.....? They do sound like a bickering married couple half the time

James Pearce @Pearcesport Prosecution say that Mandaric made second payment to Redknapp Monaco account of $150,000 just days after Portsmouth beat Manchester United That was a Premier League match in April 2004. Mandaric asked why Portsmouth won. Mandaric: "Because we had a better team. Better manager" Prosecution claim that second payment to Monaco was made as reward for Redknapp after the United win helped secure Premier League survival Mandaric "For God's sake. He had contract over £4 million. Would be insult to say to Harry 'I'll give you £100,000 on top of your 4 million

There isn't a Winding Up Order in place yet, just a Winding Up Petition which will be heard by the court on 20th Feb. So, I guess that's when the fun and games will truely start.

Rings a bell with me too - I've got an upper limit of c.£5,000 in my head (no idea where I got that from)

Ah, okey dokes. I'm beginning to grasp some of this malarkey (slowly)....

In which case, how do the Football League intend forwarding the funds to 'Portsmouth Football Club (2010) Ltd' so that they can stage a game of football at the weekend?

Ah, yes, that'll be it. I'm obviously too focused on the Redknapp side of the coin for some reason.... :-)
