Isn't the ST revenue being released to the club on a game-by-game basis and contingent on them actually fulfilling each fixture?

They said nothing of the sort you deluded mentalist. Edit - sorry, shouldn't have called you a deluded mentalist. No doubt you're only repeating what that bastion of journalistic truth, Neil Allen of The News, told you.

They didn't think they'd ever have to and, to be honest, that hasn't changed.

Again, after everything we've seen them go through over the last few years I shouldn't be even slightly surprised, but I'm struggling to beleive that they actually think this proposal might fly. I mean, come on now, really. Enough is enough.

Not enough in the world for that comparison. WTF? You do? Nobody else does.

I know of some land that might be available for development in the area soon. Might be able to help with the fatty pipes.

All very nice FMPR, but Kanu alone wants £3m.

So they made the offer 2 months ago, have had no response since and haven't interpreted that as a big, fat "No"? That's a good definition of optimism, right there.

And if the council say no, they'll just steal more from the public purse?

I reckon AA is going to be unveiled this morning as the Trust's prospective chairman

Despite all that we've seen on this thread, I'm still amazed at the muppets down the road lapping up this crap and not seeing that the only person that can "kill off the club" is Chinny. If he dropped his claims for his £18m the club would survive into next season and beyond with relative ease. The outstanding PPs would cover the remaning football creditors and the club would then have to live within its means - but it would survive...

Has he f***.

We don't know, but that doesn't mean that both his agent and the PFA are giving him no advice.

I read "march" as "match" first time around. Both are probably true.

Anyone up for a sweep on the scoreline for tomorrow? I'm going for a plucky, heartbreaking, 5-0 defeat for our heroes.

It would be an episode with a difference, f'sure - one where there is literally cash in the attic. Cue both men claiming total ignorance of it and blaming their dogs.

The fact they've felt the need to even confirm this makes me smile.

Maybe put him in touch with Amy?

Boo-locks. I've been bussed to the plane when flying with BA from T5.

It's so funny how they lap it all up like the simpletons they are...

No need to get so angry Alps, the players haven't been bullied into giving up much, if anything. Indeed, I'd argue they're in a better place to hammer nails into the coffin should the time come by being away from the place. Edit - We don't know how much Halford, for example, is on at Forest but given that they paid virtually nothing for him he's probably not that far down on his Pompey wage. He's certainly getting more every month now than Pompey were actually paying him. Plus, I think's it pretty safe to say that the PFA and the player agents are doing the right thing and giving the players the facts of the situation and sound advice in private rather than empty threats via the local media.

Surprise suprise, eh trousers? They've gone from plucky heroes doing everything they can to save the club to greedy scumbags intent on killing the club and back to plucky heroes again, all in the space of 3 months and all without actually doing anything. Even though it's nauseating drivel, it is very entertaining. Maybe Neil Allen has missed his vocation in comedy scripting.

To be hounded out of £1.5m (which was rightfully his) is a scandal. Are you watching Football League? Does this sit comfortably with the aims of your much cherished Football Creditor laws? And are you watching Gordon Taylor...? How can you stand by and let one of your members give up £1.5m because they were hounded to do so? Is there any more shame left to be squeezed out of that club? All he given up is the difference between what he would have been paid by Pompey and what he's now going to be paid by Forest. That kind of thing does happen when players move clubs but they normally will get a least some of the difference paid up. He's not given up anywhere near £1.5m, but it makes a good story for Pompey Pravda. It's interesting that he hasn't given up anything that he was already owed at the time of leaving though, merely deffered it over 4 years and lodged himself securely as a football creditor. This means that he will now be paid from PPs, or from PFC organic revenue, or not paid at all at some point in the future, at which point PFC will be subject to a transfer embargo once again. All he's really done is saddled PFC with yet more debt and then run away to somewhere he can't be so easily pressured into making any more sacrifice to keep them going. Nobody reads Neil Allen's vomit in Nottingham and the "Save Pompey 10" aren't going to drive to the Forest training ground to plead with him in 2 years time. It does take the **** somewhat, but that's what Pompey do best.
