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.

It is NOT a team made up by Sky. It is the PFA team of the year! A team voted for by the players in the League themselves. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8643305.stm (Scroll to the bottom)

It also detracts from it being a 125th anniversary kit if it is worn in the 124th year. The reason clubs wear next seasons kit in the last league game is to give it publicity in order to help sales. The 125th anniversary kit will get enough publicity without the need to wear it in the 124th year.

Not going to happen. Flybe would have paid for their name to be on the Saints shirts for 46 league games. They are unlikely to be happy with the club ditching that and playing in a kit without the Flybe logo on it.

I'm in the "Seaborne is poor" camp. Throughout the Carlisle game you could see that in particular Harding and Davis were getting very frustrated with Seaborne and there were a few "heated" discussions. -His distribution is poor and like Jaidi he often resorts to a lot of aimless hoofs. -His positioning is poor and other defenders are constantly covering for him or he has to recover his own mistakes not always successfully. - He mistimes jumps for headers(often jumping too late) and loses a lot of them to the opponent. - Headers he does win often are aimless and to the opponent. He has a lot to do to convince me and to be honest I don't think he will as their is far too much missing from his game at the age of 23. He has some good attributes to work with but Wally Downes has an immense amount of work over the summer with him. Another centre back is needed imo in the summer to partner Fonte.
