I'm not really sure who we might credibly sign to displace Fonte or Yoshida. Maybe, if we spend £6m or so, I guess. But I def want cover at CB.... And we can get that cheaply.

There are no legal reasons at all for not releasing the pledge conversion figures. Absolutely none. There may be good reasons (e.g. the numbers are awful and his would be terrible PR). But there isn't a legal reason. Not one.

What part of this is a strategy? Buy Ramirez for £12m because he will rip out the Championship when we go down? Totally agree we might get relegated, but in what way do you think the club is (or should be) arranging its affairs in anticipation of relegation? The exact opposite seems to be the case.

Wld still love to know who is willing to own up to being in the c20% who voted to get rid of him in a poll a few weeks back.

Moronic to boo him. At 1-0 up in a vital game. 3-0 up or 3-0 down with 10 mins to go, well, maybe I could let that pass.... The cretins who booed actually cut our chances of winning. Total planks.

Let's hope the yo-yo strategy works out, hey? Firstly, we need to be relegated, obviously....

Am very surprised that some seem to have the view that (a) SRL wasn't cutting it and (b) J-Rod had a really good game. I'd give Rickie 8/10, a truly excellent performance. Not his best of the season, but not far off. I'd give Jay 6.5/10. Not bad, but not lethal enough. He hasn't convinced me yet, but he had one of his better games. I'm not anti, but still unsure he was worth £6m. Here's hoping.

I'm not sure signing a 4th goalie would sit easily with the yo-yo strategy. Given the central aim of the club's strategy is to get relegated this season, before waiting to get promoted next season, it would be a major error to sign a good keeper, I'd have thought.

Probably my player of the season at the moment. Enjoyed his full page interview in the Sun today. Obviously, he's had his troubles. But looks like the real deal just now. Thank God the club didn't listen to me or most others on this message board and get rid of him for tuppence or less.

Puncheon for me. Honourable mentions for Cork and Yoshida. (and quite honourable mentions for virtually every player)

Mark Littlewood @MarkJLittlewood #Pompey @pn_neil_allen Are rumours of less than 500 pledges in true? Shld I call you or the PN newsdesk? Extraordinary lack of support? Reply Retweet Favorite More options Details 17m Mark Littlewood @MarkJLittlewood BREAKING NEWS +++ #PompeyTrust collection is less than £500k according to inside sources. Only £1,300,000 to go. Details 22m Mark Littlewood @MarkJLittlewood Ok, guys, give me a clue. More £1k pledges than the lamentable 800 away at Coventry? Or lower? Easy question. Transparency etc#Pompey

Genuine question: aren't fan-based prediction leagues usually won by pessimists? (e.g. most fans will predict a better result for Saints than happens on average?)

I don't even understand the OP's question. If Arsenal offer £12m for Luke Shaw, what do you suggest we do?

Top stuff. I'll try and read the text sometime this week too.

LMAO. :-) Nice one!

Sod it. Just stay up. Nothing else matters. Not this year, it doesn't.

Is there anyone left in the "Adkins out" camp at the moment? I think it was 22% on the last poll on here.

We're going to be in a relegation battle, I suspect. Probably any 3 from 6 or 7 going down. We're still one of the 6 or 7.

1. Cork 2. Puncheon 3. Ramirez

Hmmm..wanted Wigan and Reading to draw really....

Need Man Utd to turn this round. On the upside, the skates are losing and have yet to manage a shot on goal....

With further perusal...the shares are not transferable, cannot be sold and can only be "withdrawn" with express permission of the Trust. These are not shares. This document is - prima facie - an attempt to perpetrate a fraud and should be referred to the Financial Services Authority. Its authors have possibly committed a criminal offence through publication of this document and will be almost certain to have done so if they bank any money based on this prospectus (although not if they can show all the money arrived irrespective of the prospectus). They are plainly not FSA registered. (edit - actually, they claim to be...for shares in the Trust...but in breach of clear FSA guidelines on share ownership) They have quite possibly breached EU law through the mere act of publication as well.

On a (very, very) cursory glance, this prospectus is seriously illegal. They are purporting to offer "shares", they are actually soliciting donations. This is - if true - a serious fraud, punishable by up to ten years in prison. As I say, this is based on a very cursory glance, but it's obviously loony amateur land - links on the main site don't work at the moment: http://www.communitypompey.co.uk/files/PST-supplement.pdf http://www.communitypompey.co.uk/faqs/ Love the "updated" FAQs..coming soon"....LMAO

They won't get close to £1.8m. They won't get to a £1m, IMHO. Best guess? £600K

I think Nicola Cortese should pay for these shirts personally. Even if you just claimed to there in spirit. You're clearly entitled to something for free. So claim it. At his expense.
