You aren't allowed to have an opinion which goes against the accepted view or you get personal abuse or told you are a plant. I thought you knew that.

We are league one yes but we do not have a league one fanbase, facilities or (in the main) players and setup. Hence why we are not a normal league one team (normal being the likes of Orient and Bournemouth.)

No need for personal abuse. I said it wasn't a view I totally agreed with. If you remember that story correctly, I also said that we were unaware that Adkins was there at the time and were suitably embarrassed. If however he heard what we were saying at it spurred him on to our christmas form then really you should be thanking me

It's realistic. Just look at our gates and try telling me that what I said is not the case.

Again, I would say the majority of our team is better individually than a large amount of Championship teams (skates for a start). Some of our players have gone on loan to the NPC! Playing in a division higher is absolutely no guarantee of quality. Hope he is good though.

And yet were linked with players of proven quality who would have cost significant amounts. And lets also be honest that we are not a normal league one team. The majority of our purchases could have been made easily with no support from the Liebherr family.

If you search for forte on their forum then topics come up from the past few weeks and months. The majority are pretty negative to be honest. Maybe he will do a job this season but in the championship? It's a gamble at any rate.

You would be surprised how many fans I talk to who are still underwhelmed by Adkins and who feel the team should be higher in the league with the money we spent. It's not a view I totally agree with but you would be surprised by the number who think that.

I will reserve proper judgement until he has played a few games. However, going on the majority of the S****horpe fans' comments, my friend's comments who is a scunny fan and the proven quality names that were being talked about, I am a bit underwhelmed (though happy to be proven wrong. Seaborne for instance has been better this year than I thought he would be.) I know I will most likely get shouted down for this but it does appear that funding has if not dried up then certainly been reduced significantly from last year. We do seem to be shopping for bargains somewhat. Nothing wrong with that of course when you get gems like Chaplow but it may give an insight into our future.

Stop being a dinlo delldays. Obviously I do not know id he will have an impact one way or the other, I am simply offering an initial reaction. And what a silly generalisation in your opening statement.

Youtube highlights do not count.

I agree. What I am saying though is that S****horpe fans don't think much of Forte as a player, Preston fans thought Chaplow was a good player though just played sh*te for them.

Wouldn't score more than Rickie...

Preston fans never questioned his ability, just his attitude.

Suppose it depends where we play him.

Forte doesn't impress S****horpe. Won't be the greatest signing we could make IMO.

I saw Jan Koller in the car park.

pn_steve_wilson: Steve cotterill confirmed pompey unlikely to bring any signings today but said konchesky not coming was down to finances [via Twitter Lol.

Welcome home.

Bet we sign no one. Would be cr*p.

They were also talking about O'Hara. Funny.

Hence why we should nick it now before that happens!

Just like SFC we should be looking to improve what we have especially by nicking the best bits of other forums .

Yes but this has the new bit within the topic itself making it easier to see. Not saying we should copy it completely but it does look really nice.

Another good bit of it is that it has 'new' by all new posts so you instantly know the new stuff which has been written. Definitely a few good bits from there we could implement on here.
