That can't happen. If Saints brought them then they would be Saints players. Pompey would still be responsible for their debt to the original club.

Most transfers these days are done in monthly installments over a number of years. Pompey now need the cash all upfront which means the price they will get will reduce screwing them even more due to being in a poor bargaining position. Before they could sell a player for £10 million, £5 million upfront and £5 million over 3 years. Now they need it straight away, the same player may have to be sold for £6 million upfront and thats all in a take it or leave it offer.

Fit and proper persons test? Which seems to have failed on quite a few occasions now for Pompey.

No it wasn't. The -10 was applied this season because administration happened after the cut off point. Nothing to do with if we looked like we were going down or not.

I predict January 2010 to be the best 31 days of being a Saints fan since 2003.

I think you'll be waiting until Monday as FA offices will be shut today. Transfers may still be announced to be happening but not official until FA opens again.

Beckford is on his way to Newcastle.

As there are some things in it which are easily provable to be wrong such as the -9 points to -10 points shows the guy hasn't got a clue and is making it up as he goes along.

football-rumours.co.uk Is probably the least reliable site on the whole of the internet. Just full of nutters making up random rumours. For a start some facts in that are wrong. In the Premiership it is -9 points for going into administration. Why would they meet at Wembley? Why would the FA be involved when it is a Premiership matter?

They have 7 days from Luton until the next league game. If professionals can't manage that then they should retire. Play the best XI.

He is 26 years old ffs and quite fast iirc

I was backing your point up.

606's Saints self claimed ITK RocketSwanie reckons Saints are after Nathan Tyson and Guy Moussi from Nottingham Forest. I think its very unlikely but would be very good if there is any truth in a deal of £1.1m for the pair.

They won't unless they go into administration, which hasn't happened.

To add to that, anyone that thinks he'd drop down to League One also doesn't have a clue.

Big differences between the two... 1) Pompey's debt is alot bigger (maybe more than £60m in total) 2) Pompey's fanbase is alot smaller 3) Pompey don't have a large modern ground nor their own training ground All these make a less attractive investment for any potential buyers.

Why would he come back when he is starting atm for them in the Premiership?

You singing this on Saturday?

More than one level to that

You were claiming Saints didn't spend much in the Summer. When in fact they spent a few times more than any other League One club. I don't see have you can claim otherwise.

Saints spent far more than anyone else in League One in the summer. Its all relative to the League you are in and Saints were massive spenders at this level in the summer on transfer fees, signing on fees and wages.

Yes, their debts are huge and wage bill massive compared to what Saints were before the takeover. Also they don't have a good stadium, training ground or large fanbase to make them attractive to potential future investors.
