That Newcastle forum is funny. I love it when opposition fans underestimate us, makes it fun to read how they were having their worst game in ages afterwards.

There is a stadium called Fratton In which sits a fan with his hat on He rings his bell Does allegedly smell But here comes the dozer to flatten

Yeah, looks to be, altho could be Harper. Their fans seem to think he's had a couple of good games, but is generally nowhere near Krul in terms of ability, pretty shocking in fact. Hope Rickie has his shooting boots on!

Well that's going nowhere. The Football League aren't blocking any bid. All they're doing is setting conditions on whether Pompey can compete in their private competition. The administrator is completely free to sell 'Portsmouth FC' to anyone he likes, but that doesn't mean they'll have a league to play in.

Looks like Tim Krul is a major doubt for Newcastle after the Europa League game, ankle injury apparently. Haven't got a clue who their backup keeper is at the moment.

Antti Niemi reportedly taking £450k off of them without playing a game has to be up there as well.

Lambert obviously the clear winner. I'd add Kelvin Davis in to the 2nd place candidates. Came back and renewed 3.5 years ago despite an offer from West Ham, doubt we'd be back in the Prem already if he hadn't.

Seems more and more like the FL are using Pompey's own supporters' actions (i.e. the PST) as a lever to get Pompey liquidated. 'It was what the supporters wanted, it's not our fault they're gone...'

That's almost as silly as making up another ridiculous headline like 'Southampton 3-1 Manchester City' Oh wait.

I wonder if there's a genuine Saints fan out there that's pledged and is actually planning to go through with it. Imagine how annoying it'd be if one tiny little part of Saints was in the hands of a Pompey fan.

The best thing about this is that even the most ridiculous, convoluted, unbelievable story lines from the worst tv shows look sane and normal by comparison. I'm not really sure when the Pompey Takeover Saga jumped the shark. Maybe when the convicted fraudster was bought in to manage the finances? That really wasn't believable, it felt like the writers were just trying too hard with that one and had just gone a step too far.

If The Express have been getting that kind of grief from the PST, it's no wonder that they reacted the way they did to Allen defending it.

The PST really shouldn't have messed the players about (again). Reckon we'll see more and more of these types of articles now, because I don't think the media are on Pompey's side any more.

That's not going to stick. Nope. Not at all.

Rip

Because the courts are expensive, take time which Pompey don't have, and probably aren't going to go in Pompey's favour this time... Next. The real question you should be asking is whether this 'free' 15% would make the fans liable for some of the repayments on the debt.

Messing the players about finally seems to be turning the media against them. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/jason-pearce-manchester-citys-players-live-in-different-world-8498198.html

Is Allen really complaining that Harris would rather talk to SSN than The News? Deluded fool

Hm, isn't that the team we had 50k watching at Wembley as we strolled to a cup win? And around 10k of them just celebrated a draw against them like they won a cup?

Any chance of a copy of the pm?

How bad is it for Micah Hall? Could it end up affecting the takeover?

You must have been inflating them too much... On a more serious note, if all the PFA did was ask for clarification on why the bid was turned down, who actually caused the adjourment?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-21450584 That can't be helping them!

Actual statement says it's £2.5M in escrow from fan pledges AND individual investors. They're barely covering just the missed £2M even with the HNWs. As for the loan, it's still subject to the same conditions (so not actually handed over yet.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21444012 Basically, they're in exactly the same position as yesterday, except now they've got the extra hurdle of the PFA to get past. The PST is using more spin than Shane Warne at the moment.

You think it will happen eventually then!
