Something is not "right" with all this. SAF sold his shares for £0 after having them for 40 days. People don't become rich in business doing things like that. Also no matter how much money the new owner puts into the club he will never make it back let alone a profit. Man City and Chelsea can support high crowds and already have large stadia. Pompey have huge debts, a poor stadium and poor attendances 3k below a 20k capacity and a team requiring massive investment just to get 17th. How this will ever turn into a return on investment I don't know. It will take £50 million just to get them safe from administration problems and debt clearance, add to that the cost of a new stadium upwards of £50m, £9m for training complex and we haven't even started on the team yet. Is it worth it for the money 17,000 fans will bring?

Upwards of £110 million before any players have been signed and potentially CHampionship football next year. Is it worth it for the money 17,000 fans will bring?

What is your point? It is based on splitting the number of teams in half with 50% of the southern most teams in one section and the rest in the northern section. It will of course vary from year to year where the north/south divide is due to different teams being in the competition due to promotion and relegation.

Arizona clearly watches a different game to the rest of us.

Yep exactly that

Is that why FM09 was the biggest selling game of the series and top of the UK PC game charts for 22 weeks? And as for your point about speed FM10 will be significantly quicker to play compared to FM09 Speed tests have been carried out and show... Full match detail – a speed increase between Football Manager 2010 and Football Manager 2009 (fully patched) of 16%. Quick match detail – a speed increase between Football Manager 2010 and Football Manager 2009 (fully patched) of 43.5%

It is a football management game, what else are you expecting? The fundamentals aren't going to change it so much into becoming Halo or The Sims! Does FM09 have backroom advice system of FM10? No it doesn't. Does FM09 have a tactics wizard? No it doesn't. Does FM09 have stadiums, fans, weather effects, the over 100 new animations of FM10? No it doesn't Does FM 09 have the massively improved and accurate match engine of FM10? No it doesn't etc etc etc

.................

So you base your decision on other peoples reviews rather than playing the demo? Those videos show the game has made significant changes to certain modules and you are just trying to find things to be negative about.

It will be former Southampton player Scott Bevan. 7 years a Saint 1997-2004 and Southampton born and bred.

Morgan is still injured and not in the squad. Lallana is injured and not in the squad. And you call others retarded for not knowing stuff! You look a tad silly now

We will put out a much stronger team out than that as Pardew stated and the matchday squad on the OS suggests. Plus Jacob Mellis is on England duty.

Oliver Lancashire won't play right back.

Exactly what I said then

They did a few times during the game briefly but in general they remained on one side(Lallana left, Papa Waigo right).

Lallana was mainly on the left as I said and Papa Waigo mainly on the right.

The formation on Saturday was... Davis James Trotman Jaidi Harding Wotton Hammond Mellis Papa Waigo Lallana Lambert

There will be an option to extend the deal of course depending on how he gets on.

Someone is going to do a Maude Flanders and fall through them one day!

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/frattonlatest/Pompey-set-for-new-owners.5701687.jp?CommentPage=2&CommentPageLength=10 Shame Pompey's version of Michael Fialka gets found out! How he took it a stage further than Fialka did I don't understand.

No news yet, but likely to be in about 2 weeks time.
