Gets calculator out ... 606*2 = 1212. Oh, oh, looks like Channon's Sideburns and higher are morbidly obese. Thank God I'm only moderately obese. Seriously, how did Trousers sneak past the golfer from the desert? Over 2000 posts, which would make him our own Mr. Creosote. Mind you, I'm not sure we should be counting some of those dodgy "..." posts of his.

Patience Nick, the plug will be pulled, but Chinny will make them suffer first. You know the old saying about the living envying the dead.

Not unimpressed enough though. Very wishy washy. Where's Mawhinney when you need him? Now he'd give the Cheats a jolly good rogering.

Platini must be spinning in his grave.

He can still score for fun.

I've been racking my brains about how Chinny is going to keep the cesspit of club going long enough to grab the last parachute payments, without having to fund TBH and co. And I came up with something similar to that as a possibility. Maybe Chinnny can convince the FL to allow Cheats FC to drop down to the conference south 8th division, in exchange for retaining the rights to the future parachute money. Then, with the prospect of playing the likes of the Fish Fiddlers Pub 2nd XI, maybe most of the Kitsons etc. will bugger off. If they don't, I've heard waking up to a horses head in your bed can be quite persuasive.

Are those the before Staplewood gets rebuilt photos, or the after Krap Nottarf gets razed photos?

Indeed, what is it with England managers who only pick Crouch as a last resort? Even "1 goal in 10 games" Heskey was regularly picked ahead of him. Crouch has scored 22 goals in 42 England appearances, and has 10 in 32 this season for Stoke. Madness.

As described by other posters above, the Pacific NW is one of the best parts of the country (apart from San Diego, of course ). But I'd wait until after the November elections before deciding. If Romney and the fascist Republicans can steal the election, or fool enough idiots to vote for them, this country will be heading to third world status pdq. You'd be better off looking at Canada or Australia.

Apparently it's easier to steal from charities if you're chairman of Cheats FC than if you're Head of Integrity at the FA. Anyway, we shouldn't be surprised by this. After all, the cesspit of a club was running for over 6 months on money stolen from Lithuanian pension accounts, has stolen from charities before, has lied to the court about being solvent, has cheated with having players they couldn't afford, has racked up hundreds of millions in debt without any intention of paying it back, etc. etc. DFCSBs

You mean finish 17th? I think I know someone who would be content with that.

Al Mirage "in charge" the first time, and a couple of hand-picked Russian idiots the second time. Not forgetting the wonderful follow-up work done by the Android. Our Chinny's a slippery eel, isn't he? If he ever gets bored with the loan shark business, I think he has the skills to become a world class puppeteer.

Dear Confused: Maybe Chinny won't be concerned about having no players, and going down and down again. Don't worry though, you'll finally be rid of him after he's got his hands on the remaining parachute payments. Then your misery will be over. As in pull-the-plug over.

Yes indeed! And bring back Graham Hiley to run it (is he still alive?)!

So 4th is completely impossible, but 5th is quite possible?

Very few have billionaire owners.

I think the delay is simply because Chinny doesn't want to pay any running costs (i.e. TBH and co's salary) for as long as possible. He's hoping Trevor can somehow convince most of them to leave before liquidation day. The halcyon days of quality over quantity mad gambles to get back to PL are over I'm afraid. The Cheats are going to plummet down the leagues faster than a pair of knickers in Portsea, and at the end of it Chinny will get his hands on the last parachute payment. The cesspit of a club reminds me of one of those zombies from the Walking Dead, locked up in shed and being kept alive with the odd chicken thrown in occasionally. And at the end its head will get blown off.

In fairness, I believe him. They probably thought it wiser to laugh at him behind his back.

I take it that this must be a 5-a-side tournament. For kids.

Bugger, if they win they will be a point ahead of us. Not fair that they are allowed to play more games than us.

Very likely, but not immediately*. Chinny will find a way to keep the rotten, festering, foul, disgusting corpse on life support long enough to grab as much of the remaining parachute payments as possible. *Unless he can convince the PL/FL to hand them over early in exchange for, say, a 500 point penalty and demotion 7 divisions.

From what NC said some time back, I thought Markus took over Saints despite Fry and Begbies, not because of them.

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/birch-vows-appy-s-staying-at-pompey-1-3791838 And despite the vast majority of the Blues’ playing squad being expected to be sold this summer to ease the financial crisis, Birch promised cashing in on a manager who still has three years left on his contract is one deal he does not intend to make. Birch said: ‘We want Michael here, absolutely. Hopefully, Michael is here for the long term. ‘I met with him yesterday morning and there was nothing mentioned about West Brom. As far as I’m concerned, Michael will be staying as Portsmouth manager. ‘There has been no approach and we wouldn’t welcome one. He is the future of the club. The future of Portsmouth is in the hands of Michael.’ Nice one Trevor! Just like when we conned Scotland into taking the drunken Scot, you are trying to extract as much compensation as possible from a turd. But unlike the Scottish FA, I doubt We're Bottom Again are that stupid to think you are concerned about the "long term future of the club", and to pay more than a pittance in compensation. How long before Chinny can get his hands on the last remaining parachute payment? Too long for the phew, I'm afraid. Because that's how long they are going to suffer the humiliation of their cesspit of a club being kept on life support, as it plummets down the divisions. Anything worth of value is going to be flogged off, leaving the likes of the legendary Tal Ben Haim and some kids to hold the fort. In a year or two they'll be praying for liquidation.
