Well spotted. That would look good in Private Eye

Yes, but I'm only a PhD not a medic. However, in my professional opinion as a social scientist, many of the utterances made by them would be clearly classed delusional behaviour in that: The patient expresses an idea or belief with unusual persistence or force. That idea appears to exert an undue influence on the patient's life, and the way of life is often altered to an inexplicable extent. Despite his/her profound conviction, there is often a quality of secretiveness or suspicion when the patient is questioned about it. The individual tends to be humorless and oversensitive, especially about the belief. There is a quality of centrality: no matter how unlikely it is that these strange things are happening to him, the patient accepts them relatively unquestioningly. An attempt to contradict the belief is likely to arouse an inappropriately strong emotional reaction, often with irritability and hostility. The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the patient's social, cultural and religious background. The patient is emotionally over-invested in the idea and it overwhelms other elements of their psyche. The delusion, if acted out, often leads to behaviors which are abnormal and/or out of character, although perhaps understandable in the light of the delusional beliefs. I rest my case.

Comedy gold. Its only a shame we can't see his expression

That will be a life's work for someone, maybe a journalist who has just retired & wishes to produce one last great crowning work

Its in the same vein and makes just as much sense, as: "We're all in this together" David Cameron MP, Conservative Party Conference 6/10/2010

If all you said was that:- (1) they cheat (2) they're likely to be relegated (3) they're skint (4) some of us call them poopey -then I would say all of that is beyond dispute. Statements of fact

Hilarious

A village somewhere is missing its idiot. Another failure of 'care in the community'

I imagine that insolvency practice, particularly the small but high profile specialist area of football insolvency, is a small and incestuous little world where, sooner or later, everyone does business with everyone else. Reputations would in that case be jealously and ostentatiously guarded even where 'everyone knows' that so-and-so is a wrong'un

You couldn't make it up. Only PFC can make this possible- the gift that keeps on giving

This so reminds me of Blackadder (E) & the Prince Regent (PR): PR: Yes, I'm rotten stinking stony stinking broke! E: But sir, what about the five thousand pounds that Parliament voted you only last week to drink yourself to death with? PR: All gone I'm afraid. You see, I've discovered this terrifically fun new game. It's called "cards". What happens is, you sit round the table with your friends, and you deal out five "cards" each, and then the object of the game is to give away all your money as quickly as possible. Do you know it? ------- Black Adder III, Episode 5 - Amy and Amiability Of course the Prince Regent = PFC & Blackadder = HMRC: PFC - the terminally improvident 'club' that expects to be bailled out every time they go bust

PFC - a disgraced club that was born in shame, lived a charmed but corrupt life and which will now hopefully die, ignobly and unmourned, within the next phew months

Classy What, and lower ourselves to his level? He is to be pitied, rather than emulated

I really can't see Chinny going quietly. That extraordinary manoeuvre whereby he tried to bribe the court with £0.5 million if only they'd have Comical Andy said it all

I like your thinking. Hopefully the administrator will share your view and common sense will prevail at last COYPKF

They're Teflon coated. It really does make one wonder what it is they have over the FL. Lumpy's contacts perhaps?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion "A delusion is a belief held with absolute conviction despite superior evidence.[1] Unlike hallucinations, delusions are always pathological (the result of an illness or illness process).[1] As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, dogma, poor memory, illusion, or other effects of perception."

I *wonder* what UHY were doing at Farton Krap yesterday then?

If only. With Mawhinney gone, there seems to be no-one left with a reputation for toughness who might wish to make an example of them

Hard to see how they could live within their means & afford their current squad Happy days

Exactly.
