One thing is 100% certain, Cortese wants to either extend St Mary's OR relocate somewhere else. He admitted as such in interview.

A wink is always required on this forum as you can never tell when someone is serious or not.

Only an idiot would believe the rumours. Which some in the press did! As they would be ignoring the ash cloud disruption at the time and air space closures predicted over Switzerland at the time Liebherr would want to be heading back.

Apply for permission to the Premier league to sell players outside the transfer window? How do you make teams buy your players? Reduce the asking price, some money is better than no money for the creditors you are meant to be representing I know how about cancelling contracts? Darn that means I have to pay compensation so not actually gaining anything there at all. You save money by not having to pay bonuses and may come to an agreement at a lower value than the contract. Also sending loan players back and not signing new ones with loan fees. I know I will make staff redundant, done that (yes I know I have kept on Storrie but how do I know what termination clauses are in his contract). I'm sure Peter Storrie wasn't needed to explain clauses, it would be written down on paper and surely AA can't he?

He was referring to Lampitt, not Storrie or AA. I'm sure most Pompey fans don't mind Lampitt on paper. I've seen a number that think AA is doing a good job (although a minority). Of course none want Storrie at the club. Even if he were referring to Storrie, the original question was about what the admin team have done to reduce costs, not what the fans want.

Apart from the huge hints in industry publications that HMRC will reject the CVA?

Why is it a **** idea? Secondly it is just rumours at the moment.

New manager to be announced on Thursday afternoon. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/Pompey-close-to-unveiling-new.6359873.jp (although it is dependent on the CVA so most likely won't happen)

So not really "news" then? Probe him more!

How does he know what the club is planning?

Where did this story originate in the office? They would find it hard to get planning permission for that site wouldn't they? It does however fit in with the interview he gave the BBC where he said stadium relocation was a possibility. I think he is right, St Mary's long term isn't big enough or good enough and it also has traffic problems. It may be easier to start from scratch than to improve St Mary's to an equal level to a new stadium. Listen from 36:40 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8565161.stm

Still doesn't seem to work. Does it for everyone else?

It seems you can no longer go straight to the latest post in a thread. It just goes to the opening post and you have to scroll down.

That's a good thing then.

Phew its still here.

Why is migration a bad thing? If migrants bring skills into the country it is for the benefit of society and the economy. Of course the other extreme with floods of poorly skilled migrants isn't good. Have you seen the post above? It is a good watch and very relevant to this discussion.

I have the book somewhere. Haven't read it recently. I also really liked the TV movie starring Miranda Richardson (Queeny in Blackadder) and Rutger Hauer. I have never been able to find a DVD or video of it. I knew there was a short clip on youttube. I just looked again tonight because of this thread and someone has relatively recently put the entire film on youtube! I'm going to watch it now. I recommend it, let me know what you think... Part One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reeiGt_PP6k

Main character is actually a german policeman. It is set in 1964 in the run up to Hitler's 75th birthday.

Arizona made exactly the same joke after me and didn't include the wink, yet you want to meet up with him. I'm hurt.

Yep. Dune, Buy online/a bookshop or goto a library and read this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fatherland-Robert-Harris/dp/0099263815/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276381760&sr=8-2

Basically the plot of Robert Harris' "Fatherland" An awesome read and the TV movie is quite good aswell.

How do you picture this alternate reality where we sided with the Nazi's? What would this Britain be like? Describe which aspects you think would be better?

You said you wanted to debate. I asked if you could summarise as the opening posts lacks paragraph and is far from concise. So you call me a "little kid". I thought it was a resonable request. I take you are against democracy if you think it is better to side with the Nazi's? I take you are against freedom of speech? I take it you are... etc etc The list is inexhaustible.

Ok, I'll debate. But please could you briefly summarise your idea, as I'm a little unsure of what you are trying to get across in the opening post.
