Not sure I'd even buy up the shares to be honest. I'd just offer to pay all the debts off in exchange for the club being given to me.

Funny.

The bear is Rupert, from Family Guy.

Doesn't say a lot for the fantastic football we are playing does it?

Lowe doesn't want to admit failure I think. Not sure we needed a new thread on this though.

The forwards we've brought in on loan so far this season seem to have been worse that what we already have (and that's ignoring our better forwards out on loan). So I'm not all that confident that Jan will be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

Pompey have now accepted Spurs' offer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7807491.stm

A few times in the past people have mentioned that Nick Holmes could come in as manager. As much as the romantic in me would like to see it, I've always felt that it would be too big a jump to go from the Conference to the Championship. However, with Nigel Clough looking set to join Derby, it will be interesting to see how he gets on. I appreciate Burton are doing better than Salisbury, but without knowing the individual circumstances of each club I don't know whether that is to be expected. Any fans of non league football able to give an informed view?

We haven't got any money to bring players in, so it doesn't really matter to be honest. If we get anyone they'll most likely be loans, and I'm pretty sure there's a loan system after the transfer window closes.

FA cup holders only got 14,000 for their first game in defence of the trophy.

He doesn't actually take over til Monday though.

Lallana and Surman have already got it.

On that issue, of course they did. Whether they agreed with the way he went about proving his point is another matter.

A changing room? Yeah I've seen those videos as well.

The closer we get to the game, the more happy I am that I decided not to bother getting a ticket.

Yes.

Problem is, so far this season you could have said similar things about Thompson, Gobern, Robertson, Pekhart, Holmes, Smith etc etc. They come in, play a good game or two, then get ditched.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was a good idea. I think the whole idea of trying to prop up the share price is stupid, especially for an illiquid stock like SLH where there are few shareholders.

The market.

Dyer was arrested in March, a long time before he signed his new contract.

That £1.4m was club money spent on buying back shares, not money Rupert earnt.

I wouldn't resign if I was him. He'll never get another job as big as this one, no matter how crappy it is at the minute. I'd be in no hurry to go back to managing in front of 300 fans in Holland.

We aren't playing tomorrow. Silly Corp.

Even if it was only a couple of grand a week, that's probably 150k-200k per year once employment costs are taken into account.
