They'd already given that job permanently to Calum Mcfarlane when Simon Rusk started working with the 1st team.

Not true. It doesn't add money itself. It raises the club profile, which makes them attractive to sponsors. According to the minutes from the club’s Fan Advisory Board meeting: “Shaun Harvey confirmed the club does not gain any direct financial benefit from the series. What the club does receive is a marketing platform to increase the value of all our sponsorship investors and greater exposure of the club which is driving retail sales.”

They still will have a smaller income than quite a few Championship clubs.

On what is that claim based?

No, it has downward-cascading bubbles 🍻 😉

This suggests otherwise...

Player quality will still be significantly higher compared to Pompey.

Have you taken into account... we have a significantly better squad of players than them?

Walker-Peters was offered a deal new, but rejected it. He'll get big wages to join a PL club.

I listed three, not two. I'd also question your points on the first two.

Rasmus Ankersen at a council meeting...

Sounds like a fever dream, but yes that did happen!

I have no idea. Might not even be any. Beyond an unknown amount for a capacity expansion, what the rest of the plans are is unknown.

Some significant differences between this and what Cortese did in 2012! 1) Cortese was not the owner or financial backer... Solak is. 2) Cortese and the city council did not release they had a MOU, like we had in December 2024 under Solak.

Thank you for proving I did not say "shopping centres" or "loads of shops". Plus you didn't post all my suggestions.

I haven't said anything remotely close to that. Plus in any case, we don't fully know what the 'idea' is apart from an ambition for an unknown amount of extra seats, plus some kind of wider development beyond the stadium.

I think a lot of PL clubs would like him if he wanted a return to England. He'd also be quite expensive. He is on the fringes of their first team.

Why would he rejoin? We are in a worse situation now than when he left.

I did not say they did. It is irrelevant to the point I was making that developments are catalysts for further development. Fallacy after fallacy from some people on here!

You now quoting people misrepresenting what I've said, does not help. That one was from the King of Fallacies himself.

Stop mispresenting what I've said would help you.

I did not say shopping centres. Nor did I say loads of shops.

I didn't say they'd use that land.
