Not really newsworthy. They just haven't updated it yet since getting to the 5th round.

How about a "boycott the Echo" banner at the Pompey game live on ITV for all Saints fans to see? I doubt the club would mind!

Will they appologize? I see they have given a journalist name on this article that they didn't on the previous and he is a member on this forum. Danny can you explain what is going on?

When I said "this" I mean the whole feud. I'm sure his legal team could find something. They really are publishing some quite childish things atm.

I really hope now Cortese takes them to court over this. I can't believe how pathetic the Echo is getting. Notice none of the journalists had the guts to put their name to this piece. NickG sums it up nicely. Echo writes a story and then writes another story the next day proving it wrong but try to slate it against the accused. ffs Echo grow up!

Only if you have Saints player. It is quality to listen to Bricktop talk about Saints

On Saints player. You get the choice of either sides commentary. Gives a good insight listening to the home team.

One of the Brentford commentators sounds like Bricktop from Snatch.

I think a major factor in them wanting to leave would be to get wages paid on time.

How is it a deterrent? Those responsible leave before the sanctions take effect. Was Rupert Lowe punished by the -10? I think not.

No because it is the administrators job to get the best possible deal to meet the demands of the creditors.

Giving Palace -10 points won't help them or punish those responsible(they leave the day of admin like Lowe did at Saints). It may lead to them getting relegated possibly and harder to make money in League One and start a vicious circle meaning more problems in the future. Well done Lord Malwhinney!

I doubt any chairman of another team would trust Pompey with an installment deal with an impeding winding up order and past history.

They are basing that on nothing more than the fact he has been for the past few games. The Echo doesn't have a clue who will be on the bench as they are banned from the training ground.

Whether it is on ITV or not, there is NO chance it will be anything other than a midday kickoff on police orders.

Will just mean that they can now sell players and replace them with cheaper ones. Kaboul and Belhadj can be sold and they will loan in a cheap replacement to keep the numbers up.

It's not good value for you... You may as well have not paid with a post ratio like that. You can post up to 3 per day for free, yet you paid £5 for 0.39 posts per day!

Even if Weston Saint does have more information than the rest of us, it is likely it is only from one side and therefore biased.

He'll go to a lower Premiership club.

I'd imagine talks with the police are holding it up. The 4th round TV games were sorted out and announced by 10:30am on the Tuesday after the 3rd round.

Good point.

Do you think the story about the charity is a good piece? Using a charity for the sympathy vote is pathetic. I'm sure the Echo was fully aware it wouldn't be welcome yet turned up anyway with the sole aim of using it against the club's management. Why didn't the Echo inform the Charity and Mr Suchet that they were banned from club premises before the event? Writing pieces like this will just annoy the club more. How did anyone in your office think this would help things? The editors comments at the end saying that Saints coverage has improved since the ban is laughable. How can being prevented from having inside information and access to press conferences etc improve the quality? Now most Saints coverage is just relaying stories from the BBC and other media outlets or transcribing interviews on Saints Player and the Saints OS.

Cortese has said nothing on the matter. How do you know what has happened? All we have seen is the Echo's comment and side of things. You can't make a judgement on that. The Echo would have known the club wouldn't let them in so I'm sure it wasn't a surprise and they are used using this in a pathetic attempt to get sympathy which will just sour relations further.

I think his point is that Mutch plays in the same position as Stock and could be seen as his replacement if he leaves for Saints. He could also just be Gillet's replacement.
