Apparently, a fan who questioned Barker's tactics was told to 'f*ck off', before being comforted by the kind words 'so what, you've been relegated before'.. Catlin's mate certainly knows how to boost morale in the camp..

It's certainly concealed some wreckage over the past few weeks, that's for sure..

I'd be interested to know just how far he's willing to go to export 'Brand Saints' Stateside and how, in an ideal world, he sees it all panning out. Has he expanded on this at all ?

Maybe not - there is an exemption for clubs that have just been relegated from the Premier League -

This may well be a case of the other driver (and his multiple passengers) putting in claim(s) for personal injury. You'll need you're insurer on-side for this one - I just hope that by not notifying them of the accident, you haven't jeopardised or prejudiced their further involvement.

Fairly safe to say the 'arena' will be well and truly wedged by the proposed development.. Full plans here - http://tinyurl.com/ohokhsa

Or shut down for good.. It's hardly surprising the local 'community' is so anti this proposed move.. [ * = Competition Commission. 2008. The Supply of Groceries in the UK Market Investigation. ] Link..

This is from the guy who has been flooding every po**ey messageboard and social media network with desperate pleas for more fans to invest in 'community shares'. To now, he's been one of the PST's biggest supporters and wouldn't hear a bad word said against them.. But even that tide, it seems, is starting to turn..

Somethings just never change..

Interesting.. As I understand it, the last tranche of parachute payments was pretty much exactly the amount owed to the ex-heroes turned villains. For reasons of 'good economic sense' [sic], rather than clear the ex-players' debt in full upon receipt of the PPs, the PDT decided to phase the payments over a period of 40 months. It was claimed at the time that the PPs would be ring-fenced for the players' debt and nothing else. How strong their 'fence' is and how long until the PDT decide to 'borrow a little bit, just to us through for a week or so' remains to be seen. However, I must admit to thinking that all of the players must have agreed to this deferred payment plan otherwise the club wouldn't have been permitted to exit administration. Are your sources saying this might not be the case ?

I wouldn't say it's the full-on pleasure of a meltdown on FOL (yet), but it's certainly fun watching the glorious new era of openness and transparency descend into bickering and in-fighting as audacious 'shareholders' dare to question the PDT about their proposed spend on a couple of new wheelchair spaces at Fratton Park and a [fat free] dunny for the police. 'Community ownership'...

The aging rock singer and tyre kicker from the wrong end of the M27 who expressed a vague interest (via social media) in taking the club over back in 2012 - http://tinyurl.com/pbjy3vz. As already pointed out, just another entry in the ever increasing roll call of heroes turned villain..

Whilst it's good to look back, that's not the direction we are headed..

Wouldn't have happened on Spongebob Cala's watch..

Both were impressive to watch, but JWP's touch and distribution (in particular) were really quite special..

As intriguing as his refusal to answer questions surrounding charges and Companies House may appear, I seriously doubt that Factless knows any more than the nutjobs on here..

Nigel Quashie..

If the remaining PPs amounted to £8m, and they've just used the penultimate tranche to repay the Council loan (~£1.5m), then there's not enough left to pay the £6.7m they owe to their former plucky heroes..

Not a clue, but have quickly tallied up a few numbers.. According to the original amounts listed in the April 2010 Creditor's Report, the sum of all debts less than £2,500 was a whisker under £126,000. If the 'debts of £2,500 or under' represent reduced amounts from CVA1 (ie 20% of the original) then, by my reckoning, the sum of all original debts of >£12,500 is ~£562,000, 20% of which is ~£112,000. Of course, it wouldn't come as any great surprise to discover that they were only paying 20% of those debts which were originally £2,500 or under ie £25,000.

PMSL.. Wonder whether baldy was told to stand like that.. Nice Timex, by the way..

Carlsberg don't do debt defaulting, but if they did.. I have a feeling that a FOI request might be winging its way to po**ey Civic Offices..

I tried, but they'd sold out before kick-off both outside Itchen North and the concourse inside. Two of the guys I was with (who never buy programmes) liked the look of the new one so much that they too would have bought copies had they been available.
