It's all well and good having the P*mpey takeover thread, I genuinely do see its merits. However, some of us don't have the time to keep up with it (and believe me I tried a few weeks ago) so appreciate the occasional update on the main board. I may not have found out about this otherwise, and in turn not emailed number 10 about what was said. So leave out the clever comments

Why does he agree that HMRC should meet with them!? If a company doesn't pay its taxes it should be subject to a winding up order! Cameron sending out the wrong message there I'm afraid

Deano, whole team plays better when he plays. He's our best player when we're not in possession (always harrying/chasing/closing down) and is VERY underrated on the ball. Always looks to get it down, good vision, and rarely gives it away.

and talking of twitter, danny fox needs to sort himself out - you don't play for burnley anymore, danny..

not official until he updates his twitter account imo

Exactly what I thought! Can you imagine if Diouf came here? He'd slash the bus tyres and break the oars in half!

Surely that counters any embarrassment you felt? Or are you one of those that allows their mood to fluctuate on a game-by-game basis rather than looking at the bigger picture? We lost on Monday BUT we're still in automatic promotion spot as a newly promoted side. Our attendance on Monday wasn't great BUT our season average (the most telling stat) is very good and it was on TV etc etc

Haha, we have a winner!

Being a bit harsh on yourself there mate, you did say you hadn't managed to see much of him and that you may just have been unlucky to not have seen his positive side. Better than some people that watch a player for 5 mins and tell everyone he's crap and there's no hope for him!

The previous 12 months have been Morgan's best since he joined, IMO. I was never his biggest fan (despite recognising his potential), I used to think he was too ponderous etc. I am now a convert, however.

What did he do? Must've missed that

Sorry, should this be in "the Lounge"?

Starting against Man United today..

*Hypocrisy On the face of it our admin and the skate admin might look the same, but remember this: - we didn't screw the public purse OR local charities and businesses - the debt we had was far smaller than that of the skates - we had a far greater asset base (ergo our liability/asset ratio was far lower) - we didn't make the same mistake again, and again, and again, and again..

The following takes place between 12pm and 1pm.

And who's to say they sort it out correctly? Player kicks up a stink so gets granted a move elsewhere.. bad behaviour rewarded. I commend Saints for making a stand. The matter is probably also considered sorted in the eyes of NC and NA, JP can rot in the reserves as an example to the younger players until Saints get a deal on their terms.

If only that were the case in the (football) world we live in. Unfortunately talent talks louder than attitude, look at the offers Tevez has had. (And, yes, I understand Tevez is a better player, but the same principle applies down the leagues)

I've now emailed the above to enquiries@football-league.co.uk, feel free to do the same. I fully expect to get a standard response, but still important to make the message heard. Is it worth getting Forest, Ipswich, Doncaster, Coventry forums in on the act? Or do people think this is pointless as P*mpey are heading toward a points deduction regardless? Part of me thinks the latter may be the case..

I've never quite understood why this is the case. As far as I can see, he is simply a victim of circumstance; why do the few see it so differently? (I'm assuming Chinny is Chanrai btw..)

I disagree with this, value is determined by market demand. Potential at the date of sale is also factored into any price paid.

I'm not sure the fact P*mpey can survive on their own for around a month without CSI's backing should mean they are not considered inextricably linked at the time of CSI's admin. I hope that makes sense :/

Now amended

enquiries@football-league.co.uk I've just drafted the below email to send to the above address, is there anything you think should be added? To whoever it may concern, I should be grateful for your comments on the below: 1. Portsmouth Football Club ("the Club") are paying their players ahead of paying their tax. ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jan/21/portsmouth-tax-michael-appleton?newsfeed=true ) 2. Andrew Andronikou, the administrator for the Club's parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives ("CSI"), is clearly acting for club in equal measure. He continually refers to the Club as "we", as evidenced by the above Guardian article. 3. The Club's Chief Executive, David Lampitt, has admitted that the Club cannot continue to trade solvently now the backing of CSI has been withdrawn - does this not mean the Club and CSI are "inextricably linked as one economic entity"? ( http://audioboo.fm/boos/632962-part-1-with-portsmouth-chief-exec-david-lampitt-following-latest-off-the-pitch-speculation#t=0m43s http://audioboo.fm/boos/633257-part-2-with-portsmouth-chief-exec-david-lampitt-talking-about-the-club-s-ownership ) I look forward to a response shortly, Kind regards I've deliberately not referenced the Football League rules re administration, they should already be aware of these! I also attempted to go for the less is more approach! Feel free to edit, maybe we could get a generic email to bombard that enquiry address with - more people are likely to email when they don't have to draft a message themselves!

I assume there would be a breach of contract on Saints' part if they used him as a cleaner for the next 18 months? If not, hand him that mop!

Can somebody with Twitter tweet him with that please?
