Winchester Red

There are a number of occasions in the book where he implies he did something for the money that perhaps others wouldn't, so to answer your question, just make him an offer!

Wooo there. You don't want to go giving our transfer system any credit. You'll get drummed outa here!

Wow, prolific!

Surprised it doesn't get more coverage on here. Confirms a lot of what was suggested by Nutjobs. The player abuse and bullying was obvious but the stuff about misleading the fans to get money off them was suggested here without much evidence (beyond our experience of their character!)

Hmmm. He sounds like a nice cheap, within the pay structure type player.... not.

Thank you Mr Trousers Sir. (The request wasn't aimed specifically at you, not really, no..... )

Jesus. I always thought you were moderately level but to suggest every Italian Centre Back that ever played isn't good enough for the Prem you'd have to be a complete idiot

How many Italian Centre Backs have played in the Prem? Who?

Who in the prem would you swap him for? (Straight swap)

Top 50 players in Europe and look who's at number 10 of Centre Backs, the beast from the #saintsfc http://pic.twitter.com/hhEEIf3o23 Retweeted by Dejan Lovren PS - Does anyone know how to make that pic link? PPS - Done it, although would be better embedded in this thread.... anyone?

'Hello.... Mr Kitson? Yes, Hello. About that £100 pledge you made to save pfc. Could we have the other £900 now?' Not a phone call I'd like to have to make myself, not if the stuff in the secret footballer is true anyway

I reckon hero Wallace will be a villain soon.

2 observations there for me. 1) The club is being about as hypocritical as it can be. pfc is in no position to lecture about over stretching on wages now or any other day. 2) The first 8 comments from the fans (with perhaps one exception) seem unbelievably sensible. I always thought skate fans were all deluded idiots but maybe there are a few decent ones.

Bring SRL on when we get our penalty !

Not sure we've ever had a game postponed at SMS for rain have we?

Yep. You're certainly better off spending most of your time in the lower divisions playing poor standard opposition if you want to measure it that way. Oh.... that doesn't help them either.

One of the (many) things they don't get is that being a 'big' club, or having larger attendances than your rivals, doesn't mean you're going to achieve anything in any division. Just look at how the Sheffield clubs have struggled to get out of the leagues the've dropped into. Their attendances are larger than the skates and they're definitely 'bigger' clubs. Look at Leeds FFS - stuck in the CC for how long now? The only thing that gets you promoted is having a better team than your rivals, and even then you won't walk it. We got promoted from L1 and then the CC because we had Lambert, Morgan, Lallana, Fonte, etc playing for us, all of which are now proven in the Premiership. pompey don't have a team, in fact they don't really have ANY stand out players at all. They're only going one way, and it isn't upwards.

If they go into admin in the conference then they're dead. You can't ditch a percentage of your debt in the conference and come out with a fraction CVA. You pay 100% of your debt or you fold. That's it. Simple. It's just taken Salisbury 4 years to come out of admin because they had to clear 100% of their debt

5-4 Saints

Where's Luke!!!!!?

Justice won't be served until they accept that the division they're in is where they deserve to be and that they're not infinitely grander than their opposition. Ergo, never Happy Christmas nutjobs, don't move along, there's plenty to see here!

Jesus. How can they know so little about the workings of their own club? Is the final parachute payment even enough to cover the debt to the players? Let alone the CVA and money borrowed from the Developer. I expect the HNWs would like something back sometime too. Their attendance income (with their free matches included) has a hell of a lot of costs to cover

I think the attendances and the tax avoidance are where the comparisons stop. Portsmouth and Monaco.... really?

Yes, pfc123 They all want to beat you because they hate arrogant w*nkers, not because you're big or special or any of the other delusions of grandier that you have

Technically not bear I added you as an additional option and nobody else would have been that stupid so you'd have got just one vote. That makes you coming up the rear! :-)
