It'll mean we have 3 Premier League quality fullbacks to rotate rather than 2 plus Fox/Richardson (who are Championship level). Clyne and Gamez can compete for right back and if Shaw for example was injured, Clyne could play left back and Gamez right back. That is better than having to use Fox. *awaits biting remark and Mr Men put down*

Pompey CEO Mark Catlin has confirmed that as part of the Football League's conditions of membership the club aren't allowed to spend on transfer fees until the PFA debt and other football debt is paid back. Which might not be until July 2017. The Football League have also ruled 50 per cent of any future player sales must be used to reduce debts. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/catlin-forget-pompey-paying-out-transfer-fees-1-5072403 Strangely all this makes me want to manage Pompey on FM14, as I like these kinds of challenges.

Says the Roger Hargreaves enthusiast that stalks me on these forums...

Who? Mr Wrong. Nicely edited.

1st, 2nd, 3rd place gets you straight into the group stages of the Champions League. 4th place doesn't, so Arsenal still would have an incentive.

Why?

Sounds painful!

I didn't say the club were right, merely pointing out the flaw in hypochondriac only listening to one side of the story and passing judgement.

So you heard one side of the story and decided that was enough to pass judgement?

Glasgow_Saint and I are bestest friends...

Utter nonsense Micah. There is nothing stopping them paying 100% of all the debt they wiped out back if they really wanted to. It would mean the club would have to be run on a shoestring for many, many decades to come but it could be done.

Yep, 2 league goals - one for Tottenham vs Arsenal and one for Sunderland vs Aston Villa.

So you are saying he deserves all of the credit? It is a combination of Cortese, Reed, the scouting department, the medical department, the academy, Adkins, Pochettino, the old and current coaching staff and the players that have kept us up. Not just Nigel Adkins.

2 league goals in his entire career suggests otherwise.

Well he was 40/1 for it for weeks before today's announcement...

Some of the credit, not all.

Top trolling.

The Hartlepool manager. I don't think he is the calibre of manager that Cortese would be looking at should Pochettino leave.

The day "this regime" tookover, Saints were 68th in England. Today we are 14th in England! That is evidence of an extremely successful transfer policy isn't it?

Danny Rose will miss their last game away at his parent club Tottenham.

I already have. Can't be bothered with you any more, you are either on a wind up or stupid (or a combination of the two). Very tempted to put you on my ignore list.

The man that stalks me on this forum posting pictures of Roger Hargreaves characters call me patronising.

Back to primary school for Mr Turkish. Key stage 1 reading comprehension.

That wasn't the point ffs, I wasn't saying they didn't. Yet again reading comprehension is letting you down.

Can you say the opposite with any certainty?
