Barnet friendly part of a deal for Albert Adomah

Maths not your strong point?

Maybe Liebherr won't pay in installments for players continuing his father's business philosophy that has seen them do so well.

It gives the club all the money upfront to use in the Summer transfer window. If people pay by installments then some of the money comes in after the window closes.

A player on loan isn't the same as borrowing money.

Cheers

Link to the article?

I'm sure the ticket office would be fully aware there would be a backlash of sorts to this. I would imagine it would have been taken into account that it wouldn't be universally popular. Thus it is unlikely (but not impossible) they will change anything, nor does it make it wrong if some people disagree with your choice.

Those saying that season ticket numbers will be lower than last season are forgetting that last season Saints started on -10 and were unlikely to get promotion. This season the club are favourites to win the league and that will attract many to get a season ticket and see a promotion campaign. Yes, installments may lose some potential season ticket holders but the opportunity to see Saints win a league will no doubt attract new season ticket holders.

Will the Echo run this story in a positive light to help sales for the club, or a negative light that harms sales?

By removing installments it means the club has all the money from season tickets to spend during the summer transfer window. If this is how they want to change the season tickets it has to start one year. Now next year it won't be a surprise and people can save up and do some financial planning in future!

I'm amazed at those that don't realise what a good player Schneiderlin is! Along with Lallana they have by far the best chance of making it in a top flight side. He certainly wouldn't leave for £1m so this story is clearly rubbish to start with. With his contract not ending until 2012 they can turn down any offer they don't like. Of course if he wants to move he wil move but 2 years on a contract and a big financhial backer means Saints can turn down offers until it reaches an acceptable level. £1m is no where near high enough.

No 14th place next season?

So posted at ten past midnight on a stagnight. Most stag nights involve a day of drinking. We all say things we regret or don't mean when we are drunk.

They aren't confining themselves to only playing teams from England, they can go abroad so the weather has less of an impact. They could also play more games at Staplewood if they wished, which has a good surface.

As many or as little as they want.

Are you confusing Austin with Paynter? Leeds, I doubt could afford Austin.

Billy Paynter?

Maybe the FA have told Pompey that David Lampitt has to remain as CEO until otherwise instructed, no matter who the owner is.

The new CEO has been public knowledge for the past 8 weeks. It is David Lampitt - Head of integrity at the FA. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/apr/09/portsmouth-fa-david-lampitt-chief-executive

I doubt the club will be returning to the current badge in 2011/12 and will have a new badge after the anniversary season. So makes more sense to use the 125th badge in the banner. p.s. that orange colour is horrible to read

The 125th Anniversary badge should be used. Which none of the designs have so far!

Some huge assumptions in this proposal...

Interesting...
