No you can't, there are transfer windows for free transfers.

In the last 10 years, 36 English clubs have gone into administration, many others have had to delay wages, numerous others are perilously close to administration and English clubs as a collective have huge debts.

He joined in 1980 and left in 1982. Saints were only promoted to the top flight in 1978 (a mere two years before Keegan joined) and the 2nd place finish in 1983/84 came after Keegan left. Keegan was 29/30 when he signed and close to his peak, Messi at 24 years old probably isn't at his peak yet (a scary thought).

Saints are around 10th/11th out of the 20 Premier League teams, they have put themselves in midtable in terms of prices. Yes, it is a lot of money to watch 22 men kick a ball around a field, but it really isn't out of line with its competitors in the world's most high profile sports league.

The managing director at Accrington Stanley likes my solution... Robert Heys ‏@robheys @MatthewLeGod I really like that https://twitter.com/#!/robheys 1 down, 71 Football League clubs to go. Everyone retweet this and lets see if we can get more of the 72 clubs interested...

Insist that all debt is paid back 100% to football creditors and non football creditors. Rather than a CVA being 20% over 5 years like at Pompey, make it 100% over 20 years.

When Keegan joined Saints he was the current European footballer of the year. Del Piero is 37 years old (38 in November) and although he was a superb player, he is very much on the decline.

They will struggle to get an academy status above level 4 under the EPPP if they can't find a decent training ground and fund the academy. Level 4 would restrict them to only signing 16 to 18 years olds for the academy. Age groups below that would have to be disbanded, now where could decent kids from their academy and Portsmouth's catchment area go...?

If the FCR didn't exist, clubs would be less likely to spread the payments of transfers over many years as happens with a very high % of transfers. They would want the money upfront in order to reduce their risk if the other club went into admin. That would probably drive down transfer fees and reduce the debts of most football clubs over a long time as clubs adjust.

Probably because he didn't think anyone would ask that question whilst being serious if they had read any of this thread. HMRC, local charities, local businesses and all other non secured creditors had their debt divided by five by the 2010 CVA, as that failed it will now be further diluted by 2012 CVA. Where as all football creditors are guaranteed to get 100%. Not exactly fair is it Sour Mash?

Alpine, should... 1) Rape victims be forced to see out the full term of a pregnancy without the option of abortion? 2) Women who doctors believe would put their own lives/health at risk if they see out a pregnancy not be given the option of abortion?

Happy to be of service.

Not good enough for the European Champions, does not by default mean they wouldn't be good enough for a newly promoted Southampton side.

Because having the opportunity of seeing Saints beat one of Europe's top teams means more than beating Cardiff.

The Football League's AGM comes merely days later, they could vote in new rules.

So if the judge deems the Football Creditors Rule to be wrong, then Pompey will pay any creditors the same x in £ as every other creditor. The Football League won't like the integrity of the competition harmed and hand out a huge points deduction for any club that doesn't pay its football creditors in full despite no rule (in doing so they would have to pay all creditors 100% so they don't give preferential treatment). Am I right?

How much did you expect them to be? There are in line with other Premier League clubs and put Saints 10th/11th out of the 20. If your current seat is too expensive to renew, move to a cheaper seat. You've had plenty of time to save up with promotion looking a real possibility for a long time, Saints prices are mid range for the Premier League. You could also pay in instalments and spread the cost. When were attendances down to 10,000? If you can't make a game as you mentioned, why not give your ticket to a friend/relative?

Pompey in administration are still somehow capable of offering better deals than Championship clubs... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/barnsley-concede-defeat-in-etuhu-race-1-3880397

I know, that was what I was saying and I linked to you predating the newspapers. Who is the out of contract player?

By the end of the summer it might look like this...

I take the opposite view to this...
