They really have run out of time. It would need the guarantee of completion and an administrators guarantee of continuing until completion for the Football League to accept them. PST have run out of time, Chanrai has to **** or get off the pot. Unless something comes out of left field I can't see anything but liquidation.

Football rules ban foul and abusive language. It's time for referees to use the rules, shirt tugging, holding and abusive language should be hammered, the game would be a lot better for it. If the FA decide to ban Terry then Ferdinand should get the same ban for his part in winding Terry up. Racism has become an easy charge to make, it is time that the law is looked at. It should need more than a bad tempered throwaway rant in the context of two or more thick idiots chucking out abuse without their brains being involved. I always felt that in the context of a needle match with tempers frayed the FA were best placed to sort it. The evidence was a mess and probably the magistrate came to the only conclusion that wouldn't end up being overturned on appeal.

I can't see the League letting this drag on much past the end of the 28 day CVA deadline. I would have thought there is already an informal deadline on or around the 26th July conditional on Chanrai's total acceptance of the League conditions and moving to finalise the purchase of PFC -10 without delay, or alternatively an accepable offer completed by PST at that time. If there isn't an acceptable third party offer by then there would have to be an immediate decision by the League to withdraw any offer of a place in division 1 so that team 24 is placed in div 1 and a div 2 / Conference alteration carried out.

You think that's new? It's been happening for years, Ministry Inspectors going through airport security with guns/grenades encased in plastic and not being caught. Hiding articles on aircraft testing that the crew searches don't find them. I often heard of the first but very rarely the second. My crew challenged one as he entered and he realised he was nobbled and pushed off for easier game.

Tea every 20 mins was the best it ever got. Stuffing your own hired help didn't work for me. Lots of laughs, husbands/wives/girl and boyfriends and bi sexual stewards caused some real humdingers.

After a 36 year career as a pilot I never saw anything that remotely resembled a UFO. More importantly apart from one or two reports in the media neither did any other pilot. Afraid I'm a sceptic.

It is odd that any kid would go to Chelsea with their abysmal record for bringing through players from their youth set up. Only Terry is or was the only breakthrough in the last ten years to tie down a first team place.

When Cameron finally realises that tory voters hate the coalition, think he is a Liberal and hate Europe he will go to war with Europe, cancel overseas aid, beef up the military and organise a quick in/out referendum on Europe. He will then neutralise the UKIP, screw the Liberals, show up Ed Milliband for what he is and win a landslide with every voting tory turning out.

I'm not interested in this sort of training exercise. Furthermore any players from these clubs who have played in the Euro's, are playing in the U19 tournament, have been selected for the Olympics won't be there. I find the elongated format of three 45 min games with probably multiple team changes in the process at this early stage of pre season meaningless.

The other three friendlies have assigned seats. If bought on line no choice of seat but choice of block. If bought at ticket office an assigned seat can be chosen if available,

Retired Airline Captain. Became a QS after school but got bored and went flying. Great job.

My understanding was that £23m was outstanding on the mortgage but NU/Aviva had received a hefty sum already. Mark Fry quoted that Aviva were looking for an initial settlement figure of £7m with I believe a further £4m when back in the Premier. This was a similar figure that Ipswich paid off a £28m mortgage when Evans took them over.

Even two. No players at centre back that aren't able to cope with the sort of pressure we will have to combat next season.

This boy is obviously good but playing in Barcelona's team is a bloody sight different to playing for a mediocre team under development playing with their backs to the wall in big games. Dominant, experienced fit defender needed

Once the reality of playing Premier teams weekly with no margin of error where results are concerned, I expect quite a few players to fall by the wayside. Given Cortese's ruthless ambition and pursuit of success I would be surprised if many of the present promotion squad feature regularly twelve months from now. One of the big problems these players and the club have is the pay they would have to give up to transfer down a league. I think we may see quite a few going out on loan.

Best of luck Whitey.

Way I see it. eg V1s and V2s.

When I started flying at the end of the sixties most of my instructors and then airline captains were virtually all ex wartime RAF. Nearly all of them had gallantry medals. A lot of them with bars and more than one medal. Some served in the battle of Britain, others from before the war in Bomber command. One was with Bader in 242, another a navigator on the Dams with 617, several aces, plenty of multi tour and an American B17 pilot, a glider pilot at the crossing of the Rhine (transferred after completing a Lancaster course due shortage of GPs), a C47 pilot who was at Arnhem, ex POWs, several Coastal Command Sunderland pilots. To a man I never heard one of them criticise the conduct of the war. All of them regularly opened up to me regarding their experiences. None of them appeared to be affected by any feelings the funny stories were told at the same time as the really hairy or tragic events. They had survived, one great friend from 1937 Czech AF, 1939 French AF, 1940 - 45 RAF, CAF 45 - RAF 48 - sixties, an ace flew right through and Spitfires from 40 - 45. They had developed an immunity that allowed them to talk about the dead in the same way they talked about the living. It was a privilege to fly with these guys and hear their stories. It is grossly disrespectful to try and rewrite history and criticise from opinions in films and books. They did it we only read about it. Bomber Command and the 8th AF devastated Germany and forced it to use enormous resources in Germany that couldn't be used against the allies and thereby weakened the opposition met by the armies. Anybody who tries to argue differently from where I'm standing has a left wing pacifist agenda.

You aren't saying anything about Harris that isn't well known. Single minded and sometimes got it wrong. The politicians ran for it as usual. The pilots I flew with wouldn't be wringing their hands over the bombs they dropped or the people they killed. The Germans were the enemy who tried to take over the world in the most vile and ruthless way, they started the bombing and they got their come uppance in spades. The Germans thought they would dish it out with immunity but were wrong. They were lucky the war ended when it did because two or three atom bombs would probably have done as much damage as the whole bombing campaign. The politicians had no problem using them either.

Harris was an Air Vice Marshall AOC Bomber Command only. There was plenty of senior officers and committees that could dictate policy. Then there was the political overview micromanaged by Churchill. Does anybody really make the argument that Harris for one minute could do whatever he wanted. He couldn't even stop the Dam Busters raid because he was overruled. Dresden was attacked allegedly after pressure from the Soviets. Harris was hung out to dry by the politicians who tried to distance themselves from decisions they had made but after the war wanted to rewrite their part in it. Military officers are easy victims for unscrupulous politicians because they are unable to defend themselves properly.

Millions were exterminated by the third Reich. Millions of Russians killed by the Germans. Poland, Holland, France, Denmark, Norway, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia annexed, unrestricted bombing, unrestricted submarine warfare, no noble cause there. If the bombing hadn't happened the Germans wouldn't have had to use massive resources to defend their cities and would have been much more difficult to defeat. We killed lots of Germans but probably saved a lot of allied lives in the process. The war would have lasted at least until August 1945 when the Atom bomb would have been used on Germany as it was on Japan.

Somebody from KE was quoted on here some time ago saying they weren't that stupid. It's been pay up in advance for some time according to that.

When I was doing my flying training I lived for a year with Wing Cmdr Rupert Oakley DSO DFC DFM AFC who did 73 missions. Flew Hampdens, Manchesters, Lancasters and Mosquitos as pathfinder and master bomber. I talked to him a lot during that time and was shown his logbook and his mothers scrap book as a result. After the war he was the first Vickers Valiant squadron commander. One of my first instructors was a Czech fighter pilot, another a Coastal command pilot, most of the Captains I flew with as a young co-pilot were ex war time pilots. One a Typhoon pilot took part in a rocketing of two passenger liners in Lubeck harbour the allies thought were taking SS etc out of Germany but found later they were packed with typhus victims. To a man, none of them moralised, tried to justify anything, they just served in the RAF, did their duty, killed the enemy and survived. They went where they were told, hated the Nazis and did all they could to win the war. Those that want to moralise now are idiots. I came to Southampton as a four year old and saw the damage done by the German bombing during the war. Whole swathes of Southampton were flattened, the Germans started area bombing in WW1 with Zeppelin raids on London, in WW2 Holland, Poland and England. The Germans paid the price.

They really are in deep mire. The players are probably hoping that they would be able to get their deferred money eventually but unless the PPs cover that they have no hope. If they are on a max £5k a week they would be better off out of it. The FL would have to see the football creditors debt repaid in full by PFC before handing over the golden share. It looks like either way they are going to get their just desserts. The quickest way for the players to get free is liquidation. Why don't they just give notice that their wage deferral is terminated forthwith. That would bring it to a head.
