Dark Munster

If I didn't know better, I would think that Handy Andy helped them write their proposal.

Talking about £150M they've effectively stolen, a total of 29 points deducted really is a farce. How about 1 point penalty for each £1M creditors have been shafted (double if no CVA is approved). Admittedly, there won't be much to play for when a team like the Cheats start the season on -150 points, but making them carry over any deficit into the next season(s), as they plummet down the leagues, will give them an incentive to "pay off" their points deficit over the years. Relax Nick, it's either a slow painful death, or a quick one. They are on life support. Once the last parachute payment has come and gone, the plug will finally be pulled on the rotten carcass. Looks like a painful slow death (unless the conspiracy theory about Chinny, TBH, and agent Android is true).

I've been saying it all along, Chinny is bluffing. He isn't going to let Cheats FC be liquidated (yet), and give up his share of the parachute payments. TBH comes from a country where generally people aren't stupid about money, so it's not surprising that he appears to be the only one of the high earners having the balls to call Chinny's bluff. (The jury is still out on Liam.) Wild guess: at the 12th hour Trevor announces TBH has reached a compromise settlement, and Cheats FC will limp on for another season or so of laughs for us nutjobs. In reality Chinny has to settle for the parachutes minus most of what TBH is owed, but this is not made public. Ripping off 7 mugs out of the 8 high-earners is not bad. Unfortunately for Chinny the one exception happens to be twice as expensive.

Any mod who locks this thread prematurely would be as unpopular as TBH is now with the phew, and would have 1000 or so nutjobs after him. I've corrected it for you.

"As a manager you sometimes think of winning the next game and needing money for a player, and you forget about the heart and soul of the club. If we get the structure right then there'll be a production line for many years to come of players playing the Southampton way, which will be financially right for this club. Whether I am still the manager at that time is another question, but you've got to think above that." Seems like he's saying that a manager should think about long term future of the club, possibly beyond his tenure. Doesn't seem that sinister to me. Having said that, if we do a QPR and only survive by our fingernails, or worse, I think the axe will fall.

It appears he's calling Chinny's bluff. TBH appears to be the only one to realise Chinny isn't going to walk away from the parachute payments, especially as he (TBH) is the last of the magnificent 8 standing. Or maybe it's just because TBH has more to lose than the 6 mugs who compromised. Let's see who cracks first in this Mexican standoff. Of course, if holds out, he is going to incur the wrath of the phew, as Trevor whips up their hatred toward him to a total frenzy. But I have a feeling he can handle that. For a few million pounds I think I could too.

Automatic relegation, but to avoid the team not putting in 100% each game, have the proviso that if they finish in the relegation spot anyway, they go down two divisions. Simples. That's right, Brian. String Voldemort along for as long as possible, and then bail out at the very last moment. Handy Andy is now his "agent", and I hear police are still investigating the disappearance of his former agent, Pini Zahavi. Finally, I'd like to dedicate this mug (see what I did there) to each of the players who have reached "compromises" with Trevor/Chinny.

Not likely, I'm afraid. Handy Andy and some of his friends paid him a visit last night, and I hear he is now very close to agreeing to a "compromise".

To play Devil's advocate, that's precisely what W.e're B.ottom A.gain did for years. Having said that, there's no way NC will settle for that.

Current Nutjob rankings. Only 81 more posts to go, and trousers hits the incredible 3000 mark (albeit including a few dodgy "..." s).

Past what? Being rubbish?

They may not have wanted us liquidated, but they did not show very much concern. If Markus and Nicola hadn't saved us, what would have happened? I don't think anyone can prove that we wouldn't have gone under. Especially as we tried to play by the rules, unlike the DFCSBs.

Well, they didn't seem too concerned about us going under as a result of being about £5 over our overdraft limit. But then again, Lord MawBastard isn't in charge anymore. More's the pity.

"A BREATHTAKING new era for Pompey is unveiled as club bosses reveal their £600m plans to build a sensational stadium on Portsmouth waterfront." But, in fairness, one prediction may come true: "Bulldozing Fratton Park and building hundreds of new homes and flats."

So 5 of the magnificent 8 have walked away from "substantial" sums. I have heard that 5 mutilated bodies of horses have been discovered in hampshire, with their heads missing. A coincidence, I'm sure. So now it's up to Lawrence, Kitson and TBH to hold the fort. And the latter now has Comical Andy as his agent.

Mr Birch, who was appointed Pompey joint-administrator on February 17, warned this week the club will be forced to close on August 10 unless the high earners come to a payment compromise or leave the club. He told The News: ‘Hopefully we will get two or three more players out in the next 48 hours and get it down to the two or three others, then we might just get over the line.’ Ok, magnificent 7 (or is it 6 now)? Which three of you are willing to give up a sizeable part of your past and future salary, so that the other three (and Chinny of course) can receive their full whack?

Legend. That's why we built a statue in his honour.

A revolutionary coaching set up.

This. Top post, hole.

Ah, first 6 overs, I misheard the commentator. Thanks for the pedantic clarification.

Interesting ending. Last ball left of the innings, scores tied, Hants 178/6, Notts 178/7. Even if they had lost a wicket on the last ball, Hants would have won by the runs scored in the last 6 overs. So why did they bowl the last ball? Game was already over. First time in history a match continued after the game was already won?

That'll be about 8 pages a day. We'll have to get our skates on.
