Ok, I've posed this a few times before but not sure if it's ever been explained fully.... Why has the Football League seemingly imposed transfer restrictions on Portsmouth Football Club when it's the club's parent company that has gone bust? The football club itself was and is financially self-sufficient and was not reliant on its parent company for trading solvently....so why the embargo?

:-)

Another u-turn by the Tories. Sigh.... ;-)

If the boat was built in the UK (perhaps with private investment) and it acted as a catalyst for UK business and tourism then it wouldn't be a burden on the 'public purse' in the long run. All I'm suggesting is people could make judgements based on analysis of the finances rather than a default and ideological "bash the monarchy" persepctive.

And you expect such rationale to wash with the 'judge a book by it's cover" brigade on here...? ;-)

I may just save that photo for the next "Pot meet kettle" moment on this forum.... :-)

Cheers Todt 1 Andronikou 0 If only the head of the Football League was as decisive and clinical as Todt....

Does anyone have a login for 'The Times' newspaper site? BBC Breakfast made reference to this WRC article in their sports bulletin earlier: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/article3287455.ece "Monte Carlo or bust: legendary race is left on the precipice" Might be one or two CSI / NOS nuggets of info in there somewhere.

@pn_neil_allen: Appleton says he has permission to bring someone in once Hreidarsson departs. Looking at a signing within 24 hours of his exit. #Pompey

I phoned them up to ask what length of wire they were using. They replied: "How long's a piece of string?"

Good advice. I'll drop them a line and see what they say.

To be fair, we've not had a statement of denial from Michael Owen yet either.

How do you get cheese from a horse? Mask a pony.

Are there any strings attached?

I agree with where you're coming from but I don't see it as being a vote about Scotland (from the wider UK perspective). If the future if MY country is at stake (my country = United Kingdom) then I should have a say on that future. Calling it a referendum about Scotland at that point is missing the bigger picture. The SNP's move towards a Scottish referendum has simply acted as a catalyst for asking the BIGGER question to the WHOLE of the UK: "do you want YOUR country (the UK) to stay together or break up?" That avoids the knee jerk retort: "it doesn't matter to us (the Scottish referendum)" Of course the future of the United Kingdom matters to me, you and EVERYONE in the UK, ergo we should ALL have a say in it's future. Simple. As. That

@pn_neil_allen: Hermann move to Coventry set to be completed tomorrow. Then down to FL to allow #Pompey to sign a loan replacement.
