Nothing I have said has been showed to be wrong. Antonio would have had to agree to the extension, he could have turned it down. He has probably benefitted from the extension and will further benefit from a transfer to Saints (along with his agent).

He'll start ripping his hair out next.

http://champman0102.co.uk/forum/forum.php This is a site dedicated to the game. If you goto the "Data update discussion forum" you can update CM 01/02 to have current 2010 data. So Lallana and Lambert etc at Saints. Remember it isn't an official update and is unrelated to SI.

People here setting their sights too low. Pardew has stated he wants to put together a team this summer that will move up with him through the leagues. Signing a 36 year old Lee Carsley (that hasn't played League football for 5 months) doesn't fit into that.

It wasn't anywhere near £1m upfront. Most was in future payments dependent on appearances.

Give a vague description then.

This suggests Reading need the cash. http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/readingfc/s/2070129_reading_fc_must_save_4million

Because it isn't a transfer of the player's registration from one team to another. He is out of contract and thus becomes unattached and not a Reading player. Any payment to Reading is a development compensation fee.

Yes. Although I don't they will receive much as he hasn't been at Reading for long and a large part of that time he was at Saints. So Saints have probably had far more impact on his career so far so any development fee will be small.

It isn't a transfer fee.

That doesn't make any sense. He is out of contract in the summer. If he doesn't like Readings offer he can turn it down and accept Saints' offer. Nothing Reading can do about it.

By no means does that mean he won't be a Saints player next season. It is likely to be just Reading's way of getting compensation.

He hasn't played for West Brom for 3 years.

Saints are averaging 3,000 more fans than Pompey and are two Leagues lower yet they are playing Wycombe, Yeovil and Stockport compared to Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. What makes you think it is not sustainable to be spending as they are?

Including players that the shouldn't have been allowed to sign? Quincy for example signed for a loan fee of £500k in the 4 day period after the transfer embargo was lifted and Pompey were alos still under a High Court WUP. At the same time as this £500k was paid the club owed those charities and other creditors money. Quincy and O'Hara then helped the team progress in the FA Cup, basically by using them Pompey have cheated their way to the final.

He is crap on Football Manager 2010.

Yes, but it is 11 days after the creditors meeting and things will be a lot clearer for better or more likely worse. As for your original question if those in administration can sell season tickets. The answer is yes. Stockport have been in administration for well over a year and still sold tickets last summer. Any Pompey fan would be foolish to buy a season ticket whilst in administration unless with a credit card(which would cover any loss if liquidation were to happen).

3 to 4 weeks would be beyond the play off semi final dates and those matches would have already taken place.

Suggests 17th May.

They aren't on sale now.

A huge amount of work goes into making sure the game seasons down the line is balanced in terms of the quality of newgens (SI stopped using regens years and years ago ). In my Saints savegame I'm in 2026 and it seems fine and balanced imo and pretty much every player is a newgen by that point 16 years in the future.

Would be a terrible series of events. Which luckily won't happen.

A month and a half ago, Campbell has deferred his claim until after the club exited administration. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/mar/15/sol-campbell-portsmouth-defer-claim

The vote was taken a number of weeks ago. Fonte only signed and started playing in this League in January. It is voted for by the players and many of them hadn't played against Fonte when votes were cast.

The voting would have ended a few weeks ago and that would have harmed Fonte's chances along with him only joining in January.
