It shouldn't have come to this. John Terry has shown that he has no idea how to behave. Knowing that he has already lost the captaincy once through his behaviour, he should have indicated that whilst he was innocent the speculation was an unnecessary distraction, so he would stand down as England captain but be available if selected. This should have been done as soon as he was charged.

Any bets on H&W FC changing their name to AFC Portsmouth? Or is it too tainted now.

Worse than that they haven't got a multi billionaire to save them.:lol:

Why wasn't the a/c H Redknapp. Rosie47 looks like concealment.

No CVA was necessary for two reasons. SFC, the club never went into administration, continued trading, sold players, was bought, paid its bills and stayed solvent. Secondly the assets of SLH were purchased by Markus Leibherr including the club. The stadium mortgage was paid off under agreement with Aviva, The overdraft was paid off under agreement with the bank. SLH then was liquidated

It's got to be SNP Mike.

That letter is dishonest. In one sentence she says staff are working without pay so there will be no more debt to HMRC. As league regulations say all football debt has to be paid there will have to be further debt. I can't believe that the staff are working for nothing with no end date. If PFC can't pay wages they can't pay HMRC either. Insolvent.

In a city of say 350,000 plus outlying areas PFC have a ground capacity circa 20,000 and average 14,000 ish, hardly a city that values a club in financial trouble. Cameron has more important issues to stop ****ing up.

So what happens if owners CSI are liquidated and there is no buyer for PFC. Without the support will they be part of that liquidation?

Always an idiot with a sarcastic meaningless remark.

Davis, Richardson, Fonte, Hoiveldt, Fox, Chaplow/Guly/DeRidder, Cork/Hammond, Puncheon, Lallana, Lambert, Sharp.

Puncheon could be the find of the season. He was outstanding when moved into the centre. Our central midfield is poor, no momentum, sideways and backwards passing, IMO we need only one of the three alongside Puncheon. He has played CM for MK Dons and could provide a threat from midfield. Sharp and Lambert up front with Chaplow/Guly/DeRidder on the right. Get back to the sharp pass and move football, with a bit of sharpness and breaks from midfield for a change. We have been worked out and now the CM isn't really providing a threat or movement.

He played central for MK Dons at times. Therefore he is comfortable there. He could be the answer. We have been worked out and he would add something new especially with Sharp up front. We have to be more aggressive and positive, get back to the quick penetrative pass and move, and try to go out and win not just try contain by passing sideways and backwards and snatch a win.

No you are not. The central midfield was poor, low tempo, sideways and backwards, never first to breaking balls. How Schneiderlin thinks he can pressure, strolling about, ten yards from an opponent is beyond me. I was impressed by Puncheon and now would like to see us play a midfield of Lallana, Puncheon, Hammond/Cork, from Chaplow/Guly/DeRidder. Hammond/Schneiderlin/Cork do not provide an attacking threat when together and are slow to build often ending promising moves by turning backwards ending up with the keeper punting. Where has the fast pass and move gone, there is a lack of movement off the ball, but Puncheon when he moved infield was a revelation creating movement and momentum. Connolly had for him a poorish game, the fullbacks had plenty of the ball but the delivery was poor. Defensively and bearing in mind he was on his poor side Martin had a solid game. Now I've seen the goal on tv, Davis just flapped the ball out, he didn't look under great pressure as there was only one Cardiff player close and he was tight marked. Lallana was lively but I thought he seemed to look for the penalty and went down easily, I was closer to the Lambert incident and the defender was all over him. Fonte had a decent game, Lee will be useful as he settles in. I was surprised Falque was on the bench after his poor debut.

It was bloody dire last night. If Cork or Schneiderlin turned and played backwards or sideways once they did it a hundred times. The central midfield is supposed to be the engine room of the team. Schneiderlin doesn't get tight, doesn't pressure the opposition, plays in a sloppy comfort zone, makes a lot of passes for the sake of it. Last night from the start Cardiff came to snatch a goal and run the clock down, our central midfield played sideways and backwards and allowed Cardiff to compact in front of us stifle the attackers so we never really created clearcut chances. Schneiderlin and high tempo don't match up, he is basically a stroller and looks pretty but his end product is minimal. Cork can do a lot better and with Hammond does provide energy but no attacking threat. I never thought I'd ever say this but I was mightily impressed by the overall effort and quality provided by Puncheon, initially wide but especially when he moved infield. I personally would put him in central midfield with Hammond or Cork with Chaplow wide, with options of Guly and DeRidder and Lallana on the left side with Sharp and Lambert up front. All three, Schneiderlin, Hammond and Cork build up too slowly and don't really threaten by breaking forward with the ball preferring to pass sideways and backwards. We can only afford one of them in midfield.

Tonight we are playing Cardiff in a cliff edge game. We are likely to let Lambert go.

Chaplow and Cork.

FFS Alpine, Falque was taken off the other night because he was hopelessly lightweight. With Sharp, Lee, Chaplow, Puncheon, Guly, Connolly, Barnard, never mind Lambert to come in he is a long way back. Unless we have stupidly guaranteed appearances he won't get near the squad.

Think about it, Cortese is burning the candle at both ends to bring in players, he is hardly going to waste his time negotiating a fee for Lambert. If Everton in the Premier want Lambert the haggling might well start at £10m, there isn't enough time to even think about it and a loan isn't a runner.

Sky have just said that personal terms were already agreed.

It might well be. He has scored quite a few, might even have been the Ipswich top scorer. Surprised he doesn't fit in at Blackburn.

Keith Andrews, goalscoring midfielder at Blackburn just handed in a transfer request.

The Doncaster Chairman was quoted in early December when this £1.85m contract release fee was put about that the CRF was £3m as from 1st Jan 2012.

I caught a bit on SSN a minute ago. Collins fallen through but Leicester trying to sign him and Morgan.

It wasn't, it was just an example of inept defending that he has to learn not to do. As I said he was positionally woeful, his distribution was poor, strong in the air but headed as far as he could back to the opposition, he has little control over his left foot. He is strong and could develop but he has a mile to go. He might have had a decent game yesterday which after Tuesday's debacle shows a welcome strength of character. At the moment we don't have time for potential in the promotion battle, we need high level competence such as Fonte and Hoiveldt plus a couple more of the same. Martin is work in progress and is no more than a stopgap and cover on the bench pressed into service due to a lack of experienced cover.
