Don't forget you can claim tax relief for working at home. I get about £300 a year, not much but better than HMRC having it.

I agree - and finally we are in a sound financial position and have a chairman who realises that the way forward is not to sell your wonder kids as soon as someone waves a few million £ under your nose - long term thinking and strategy at last!

Arguably he was the only one that made us some money having negotiated a settlement to get rid of the rapidly plot losing Burley - at the time most of us would have driven to Scotland.

Where is this from? If accurate it also suggests Mills and Holmes and not considered first team and are on their way?

Can you play right back?

Normally by 3.10 pm on a Saturday he is moaning about how crap we are, so the lack of patience is no surprise.

I see Palace have said that Danny Butterfield has decided to join another club - he would be a good signing. I also wouldn't be surprised to see us take Lee Trundle on a free as back up for Rickie.

Johnny Palacios? Right Back/Centre Back

Going back a few months I seem to remember filling out a survey on suggested improvements - hopefully an upgrade is imminent.

They've just nicked a 9 year old off us from the Bournemouth area. His parents had to move nearer to Chelsea in order for it to be ok under FA rules....I wonder how they funded that move...hmmm.

From a skate site: From a source close to the club! "CVA under threat. HMRC claim that it can only be approved if the club owes HMRC £21m but they claim to have paperwork proving that we owe £35 m. If AA declares the CVA approved HMRC will challenge it in court and officially lodge an appeal to have the club liquidated." http://www.fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=276977

But presumably if they are in administration at the start of the season then the transfer embargo remains in place?

That is quite surprising as AP, when interviewed on Solent towards the end of the last season, said that the clubs were talking and he hoped something could be done - maybe someone better has become available?

Agreed. He is good at clapping but seriously did we ever find out his main footballing attribute?

What's not to like?

So, in summary, depending on which route this goes they are either f@@@ed in the short term or f@@@ed in the long term or both. Excellent.

Also posted on the Pompey takeover thread but relevant to this thread - according to Morgan we rejected an approach from Nantes for him last season. I can't remember that being public knowledge at the time although may be wrong. http://www.infosracing.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=419581

http://www.infosracing.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=419581 Associated with this article is the view of some French fans - also I didn't realise we rejected an approach from Nantes for Morgan.

I can't comment on behalf of others but I do apprecaite the post.

Thank you Nicola and Markus - but I still think you have made an error of judgement on season tickets. The point you are missing Avenue Saint is that the criticism or questioning of one decision is not the same as being critical of the owners or organisation as a whole.

I agree but the point is that people were not given the opportunity to save as it was understandably presumed, with the assistance of the last published Supporter's Charter, that the instalment plan would still be in place. Had the club come out early in the year and told everybody that it was being withdrawn then there would arguably be no issue now as people would have had the opportunity to save.

OK so maybe "question" rather than "protest" would have been a better phrase. You are also confusing a number of issues - I don't think there is anybody who isn't grateful the club was saved or that we are spending money on players but that does not mean that as fans we have to accept every decision without question every time - and you need to calm down dear.

What a ridiculous post - whatever happened to freedom of speech and the right to protest? I am delighted that we are moving in the right direction - that does not mean however that anyone at the club or anything that the club does is beyond question.

Something we've been lacking in the make up of the team for years.
