Yes.

All the while s******ing behind their hands, saying "We gave you every chance to buy your club.."

Which doesn't make them bad fans, it makes them just the same as everyone else. No worse but equally no better.

No link to part 3 of Hall's blog?

Sounds like they're being massive fannies, tbh. Just get on with it and stop acting the drama queens.

Steve Wilson ‏@pn_steve_wilson Brian Howard is obviously better suited to not being surrounded by abysmal footballers than he is to Pompey. A big disappointment at #Pompey.

Bloody hell!

Yes, and look where spending all that money you didn't have got you.

Don't bother. Take Oscar's approach.

Sorry, can the Echo please not refer to that as a "humbling"? It was nothing of the sort

Why are they not allowing any of the Pompey womenfolk in to see them train?

Don't be so daft - how many other little clubs has the Prime Minister patronised in parliament?

So nothing has actually changed re: the loan? PMSL. PCC "resolved" to make the loan months ago, subject to the conditions documented. Yet they're still working hard to enable it? Suggests done of the key conditions have not been met (I wonder which!) and there's still a £1.45m hole in the funding. Who would have thought?

The PCC tried to get the PL to agree to divert enough of the PPs directly to them to cover any loan default last time around, the PL said "NO", very clearly. And who has "£3m sitting in the account"? The club or the PST? If the club have £3m in their account and are expecting more cash from the PPs, then I doubt that anyone is going to let the PST buy the club for, erm, £3m. If you mean the PST have £3m sitting in the account, why is next payment going directly to them? You seem a tad confused, mate. Or stupid. Or both.

:lol: :lol:

Indeed. Given that the chances of the PST ever actually paying the football creditors are probably quite slim, it may well be that the PFA feel they have more chance of getting some cash from outstanding PPs with the club dead - I know I would.

Except you don't know that is true.

Last time around I think there was a lot more pressure applied to the PFA and the players directly to compromise on their outstanding wages. This time there is much less AND they can point to the fact they have already taken a huge cut in what they were owed. It may not be that Taylor thought they'd get nothing from liquidation previously, just that it wasn't in the interests of the PFA to be seen as totally intractable and thus pulling the trigger on Pompey. Edit - even though that's exactly what they should have done. A bullet in the head would have been kinder to all involved.

And that's the key question - does he?

For the sake of a few million quid, which is in some way chicken feed to the PL, I can't see why the PL wouldn't do the PFA "a favour".

But could non-league football cope with the travelling Pompey army? I mean, how many grounds in the Blue Square South could cope with the kind of away following they took to Hartlepool, for example? Oh yeah, that's right - all of them.

Wondered what the twitter reaction would be to this, and found: Shook the hands of the entire away following? :lol::lol::lol:

So now PKF are still considering the Harris bid, despite that FL statement? Whoops.
