Further to the Pompey administration rumour I posted, I got more details last night. It appears that this administration was always on the cards when the club was bought by the fans and why no one else would touch the club with a barge pole. It all comes down to the money owed to the former players. They are being paid out over 4 years as part of the administration exit agreement, but the parachute payments only ran for 2 years. ....so, all it will take is one of their former players not agreeing to re-schedule the debt and it's curtains...

I'm just basing my opinion on the evidence...

Scientists questioning the accuracy of IPCC climate projections Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.

A video showing Wang Jianlin arriving at Southampton Airport just posted on Youtube:

0:1 Oh dear, what a shame, never mind...

....Oh, and Harry's probably going to West Ham...

Before the end of the season...that was the best estimate I got.

An ex-player and a partner at a large accountancy firm...

I heard from two sources this week, that Pompey will be going into administration again...

Steve, as you know, the managers/players got us promoted and Sky/BT "put £££££s on the top line and £££££££s on its valuation." I would bet that the club is still sucking in Liebherr's money in both investment and covering ongoing losses. We don't know the management accounts, but I think we are still losing money hand over fist, until they sell a couple of youngsters at the end of the season. My advice to Katherina is to sell to an eccentric billionaire for £150M and get the hell out of Dodge. The owners rarely see a return and the downsides are massive.

Long term, I think Lowe's influence on the club was more fundamental and given the money available to NC, Lowe and Cowen could have achieved as much, but that won't sit well with the class warriors on this site. By the way, you never met NC, or encountered him in any dealings. I can tell you that the main reason he was canned was that apart from screwing suppliers, other clubs and past players, he also screwed customers and sponsors, which is probably why the Liebherr's had to try and reign him in. NC treated the lot like sh !t most of the time and forced at least one local company into administration. Good riddance and it feels good to get that off my chest at long last...

I wonder if you would sympathise with NC if you knew that he upset a major sponsor in hospitality so much that they told the club they would never sponsor the club again, while he was in charge. It only amounted to the loss of £200K a year, but considering the global brand involved, Jeez. Let's put it this way, NC will not be getting a PS4 as a leaving present. Tip to the iceberg...

The problem Cortese had is that he knew, to the last penny, what the club cost, including the money invested since the takeover. He feels that any increase in value since that date is due to his skills as a Chairman. It is apparent he has been working behind the scenes since Markus passed away, to raise the finance to buy the club, but he just doesn't have the resources and probably resents any price over the amount invested. Football's a billionaires club now and let's hope Cortese stays the hell away. We know from the past, that large egos and small bank accounts is a mixture that leads to financial disaster. The best outcome is a large corporate or sovereign wealth fund steps in and runs Saints like a normal professional business, not a small empire for a self-preening Italian, who treats people like sh! t.

I see no reason to change what I posted in May, when he last threatened to resign...

I think the problems Cortese has are more to do with his plans to buy the club and its price. The Liebherrs want top dollar and he thought he could do a management buy-out at a discount with some investors he could pull together. His ego could only be satisfied if he was the capo di tutti capi....

Explain this quote from your messiah, then... Starving a few Ethiopians should do the trick..... A certified mental case, IMHO and you have the nerve to call me disingenuous and emotive...

Anyone who wants to understand why America has the lowest energy costs in the world, without environmental damage, read this.

Not exactly:

This is a dangerous and obnoxious organisation. It is a very small step from its stated aims of government influence over personal fertility, which is bad enough, to that of immigration control and eugenics. It's political offshoot in Australia, the Stable Population Party (SPP), is already aligning with anti-immigration political figures. No wonder Friends of the Earth and the Green Party won't have anything to do with this awful charity. As far as Chris Packham, what an absolute sh!te he is, as this quote shows: Governments around the world should start “regulating the population”??? How the f*** have we got to this point, where people are even debating this....?

Nope, missed your point entirely and I'm slightly unsettled by your total lack of any ability to communicate facts.... Have a nice day...
