Link doesn't go to anything about Crouch.

What is the point of hospitality then? I thought it was a huge profit-maker? I'd expect them to make something like 60-70% profit on hospitality.

Is Rod Bransgrove friends with Lowe then? Didn't know he went to Saints games.

Also, how come HR is finding it so easy to bypass the rule that you have to spend at least 12 months away from a club before you rejoin? They got away with it with Defoe, and I think people thought 'yeah maybe that's fair enough as it was only a c ock up that stopped it going through on time last January'. But since then they have re-signed Chimbonda, who only left Spurs in the summer. And now they are talking about Keane going back, who again only left last summer. Does Redknapp have a different rulebook to everyone else?

Of course, if they knew who our one home win was against, that would have alerted them to their error........

Has he signed yet?

There seem to be an awful lot of shadows at SMS these days. Have we stopped replacing the bulbs to cut costs?

And other fans just moan.

We knew who Terry Cooper was, the OS ran stories about the work he was doing. He was a paid employee of the club. Slightly different situation to this one.

Problem is, the only people likely to stump up would be those who will lose out if we go bust. So the shareholders then. It's not a very attractive proposition for someone who isn't already involved.

How about the same sort of idea, but the club issue new shares in exchange for the cash investment. Enough shares that Crouch would be able to block any future attempts to oust him.

Lets say Crouch paid the £6M into the club, and then Wilde and Lowe quit as suggested. They'd still be shareholders, what's to stop them coming straight back and chucking Crouch out again?

How does a dutch bloke who no-one has ever heard of develop really good contacts in England? I think we are being strung a line here. How's this for an idea? Employ a manager who knows the Championship already, then we wouldn't have to waste money on fees to this bloke. The 'cost saving measure' of the dutch experiment looks more and more flawed by the day.

Is the £6M supposed to be payments to Lowe and Wilde, or money into the club? If it's the second option then fingers crossed. I don't know what sort of money Crouch has.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious, but I guess I should have put one of these.

If we win every game between now and the end of the season, then perhaps. Only perhaps though, I'm making no promises.

Oh right. Well, if she's been drinking booze paid for by me, I'm very disappointed that she hasn't put out for me. It's bloody annoying when girls do that.

He's talking about when Lowe was in charge, prior to her being involved in the club. So unless you know of some random bloke who buys her booze, then yeah he was having a go at her wealth.

Bit dramatic isn't it? Unlike you to have a dig at someone's wealth as well, especially as you take the **** out of people for the exact same thing when it comes to RL.

Pompey haven't gained 3 points in a game since November, I don't think we need to worry about them..........

Not sure she was ever on the board of SLH, wasn't she just on the board of the football club?

Lol, he still knocked you out. Were Mullins and Pele on your list of potential signings, by the way?

I quite liked the bit where an ex director bought a big chunk of the clubs' debt so that he had more power over the club.

Was SB banned, or did he just 'go away'? Edit: Oh yeah he was banned wasn't he. This is clearly him under a new name.

It looks a lot more permanent than the appointment of Dodd and Gorman ever did.
