Matthew Le God

Looks extremely impressive... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2613018,00.html

He means Jack Stephens. Jack Stephens isn't injured, he played for 90 minutes in the development team game against Brighton today. Back to the original question, it would be a big risk to give a full league debut to a teenager in the run in of a promotion campaign when there are senior players able to cover in that position.

Don't worry, it is easily done.

Read the article, the headline is misleading... Football finance expert Dr Chris Brady said: "Rangers may be the tip of the iceberg. EBTs became popular with clubs as a means of reducing crippling wage bills. We believe at least eight current or former Premier League clubs are being investigated."

Pompey one of the eight clubs being investigated for using Employment Benefit Trusts perhaps (wouldn't put it past them) and their debt to taxman to grow even further? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4130498/8-Premier-League-clubs-to-go-bust-like-Rangers.html

I doubt you'll reply to this, but here goes... - Southampton went into Admin in April 2009. They didn't sign any players between going into admin and the takeover. Before that they used 18 -21 year olds when needed. - Pompey are going into admin in February 2012 whilst the loan window is still open. They have under 18 players that can be used and should be used. Southampton had more players than Pompey do, but they did use the younger members of the squad and didn't need to get to the under 18's. Pompey on the other hand have a small squad and refuse to use the players in the under 18's already at the club and instead want to add new senior players.

They should be forced to use their under 18's to plug the gaps.

That would resort in a bigger points penalty.

Lampitt just confirmed UHY will be administrators!

Lampitt just confirmed it on Express FM.

Because the players agent has demanded it as part of the negotiations for his client's contract.

And what would Pearce's job involve that Les Reed's doesn't do already?

That makes no sense. Why would Saints bid more than a fee guaranteed to be accepted by Doncaster?

Says the Pompey fan with 581 posts and full membership on a Southampton forum...

The point he was making is that you spelt his name wrong.

Well that is just cheating

He played against Nottingham Forest.

Who?

See my post above.

Because he wasn't registered at Saints for the original game and so can't play in the replay.

"Saints come your"
