http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8514426.stm No big teams without a manager. So must be a club offering a director of football role. Not many clubs have the money to attract Eriksson. So who could this club be?

Yes, Saints are definitely out. However the PL and FA have some questions to answer if they were allowed to continue to operate and sign new players to play in cup games if proven by Vectis to be insolvent and have been for a while.

Still possible for Saints to get 88 points this season. Only about 76 needed for the playoffs. Have faith.

Because you haven't paid £5 to be a full member of this forum.

Antonio is becoming very effective actually. You also only have 5 subs listed.

No not drama, colouring in.

I'm happy oh so happy, happy as happy can be!

It is a very different situation to that, so surely you feel different about being an underdog in a cup game compared to potentially getting relegated?

The police might count that as a missile.

No, it is still 7 days. It has never changed and remains 7 days to get the report to the court. It is just the hearing that is on March 1st.

February's wages will have come and gone by then. Interesting to see if they are paid or not.

Portsmouth are...from the brink of oblivion briefly during their 7 day reprieve and then back again.

A nice touch for the cameras to see at kick off and show around the world... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1964143,00.html We could have fun and spell out some messages for full time if thousands of Saints fans link minds.

Anyone that expects a League One team to beat a Premiership team is deluding themselves. Yes, Saints have a chance but Pompey are favourities. Saints opponents being allowed to continue whilst insolvent isn't helping matters.

That won't happen. Premiership clubs won't agree to it and sets a dangerous precedent for the PL. Nor would it stop them going under. They can still be found to be insolvent next week and wound up even if they do pay the taxman. For example how will they pay wages from now until the summer?

I think a mass appeal to the FA is required if they beat us. I do expect Pompey to win. But giving them further advantage by letting them sign players whilst insolvent makes Southampton's chances even slimmer.

Pompey have been said to be currently trading whilst insolvent by a high court registrar and HMRC and probably have been illegally trading insolvent for months. The High Court registrar agreed with him. Signing players whilst insolvent is giving Pompey an advantage for the game. Sheff Utd won a payout due to West Ham acting in the wrong over Tevez. Saints should be reinstated if Vectis prove to the High Court they are insolvent and have been for months. Quincy and O'Hara both played and scored, significantly affecting the outcome. Let the FA know how you feel http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/WhoWeAre/ContactUs.aspx

Wotton is terrible. He has no pace and can't pass or control a ball. Yes, he works hard but as soon as he gets the ball Saints lose possession as he hoofs everything aimlessly. Saints need to go 442 against Pompey with Lambert and Papa Wagio upfront.

What is an "established skate"?

Will be this I think.
