What's worse, being caught visiting a brothel, or being told by your wife that she doesn't care? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248497/Avram-Grants-defends-husband-brothel-visit-He-likes-body.html

Apparently his wife couldn't care less... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1248497/Avram-Grants-defends-husband-brothel-visit-He-likes-body.html

Nice to see others preparing for Pompey's demise... http://www.havantandwaterlooville.co.uk/boards/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=954&sid=609327810d37338db79d3f5383405fff

Got to love News Arse... http://newsarse.com/2010/02/04/hong-kong-business-man-wins-portsmouth-fc-in-game-of-pass-the-parcel/

So with the mess they are in, who is it who is still trying to sign new players? Perhaps Grant has been sticking his fingers in his ears and trying to pretend that the boardroom (and the brothel) don't exist? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5917443,00.html

If that's true, then the ownership is still with Al Mirage... the only way out would be to head to the court room (can the do that before they get liquidated?)

[Lame effort alert] Grant, Grant, wherever you may be, You've kept the skates at the bottom of the league, At least you're not a **** like Peter Storrie, but you still f*** about with Thai Ladies

Actions over the coming days vs words in a skate rag? Anyhow, what's this Glenn Cooper's side of the deal? If the Gaydamaks' and Chainrai are at each other's throats then why issue a public statement saying Chainrai is 'good news for the club'? (Double bluff? Direct blame away from Sacha?). Of course if Arcadi and Jr are in bed with Chainrai (what an image!), why not be quick of the mark to attempt to misdirect the inevitable suspicion that will be directed towards Sacha if the directors don't get changed?

I guess we'll know for sure which bed Chainrai lies in depending on what happens to Jacob & Azouri (sp?)

There are a couple of questions. 1) Whose 'side' is Chainrai on? Was his loan to Pompey, a genuine loan, or was it related to Gaydamak's presence at the club. If so was Chainrai trying to move frozen money back to Arcadi (via sacha) or was he aggressively trying to stake a claim over some of Arcadi's assets? If with Gaydamak: is this takeover smoke to delay HMRC? As for Pompey, can we only assume the asset stripping will continue? If against Gaydamak: will Arcadi fight back (via either one of his stooges Sacha, or Al Mirage)? Will Gaydamak now join the winding up petition to spite Chainrai? If Chainrai is indeed against Gaydamak, can we assume that it's money he's after not football (or is status important? 'look at me, owning your house, driving your car while your in excile and can only look on'?). Problem Chainrai will have is how to get his money out of the club before liquidation... I'd assume that facing the legal issues of sales might be preferable to needing to throw good money after bad?

SOG, where is your evidence that at any point we opted for the cheap option? Perhaps Plymouth wanted more than financially crippled Palace? Perhaps Exeter's experienced youngster with bags of potential was chosen over a defender Coventry don't even want to play? I'd think you'd have a point if we raided Crawley and not Southend in this window... You'd only jump to the conclusion you have if you had an agenda. The former chairman has departed - get over it.

Confused. How did the editor let this one slip through the net without having a dig at Saints? Kerins may be up for the sack if he's not more careful, he'd better toe the Echo's anti-Saints line in future. Good article: nasty rag.

If a new investor were going to emerge, they would have done so before the window slammed shut. Why would they buy a club that is likely to be relegated, which they can't strengthen? The closing of the window rules out both the 'Benevolent Sugar Daddy' and the 'Investor wanting a return'. The club simply isn't an investment, and can't be strengthened again until the summer. So that leaves only the 'Fan with money' (why have they left it so long? Why not snap the club up back in the summer?). This means that any new owner would have to be either a 'Status hungry nutter', or a ‘Crooked money launderer'... IMO if they do get a new owner, it can only spell business (sic) as usual...

Perhaps he got bought out? http://www.geckosaint.com/

James can still move on a loan... if anyone is willing to pay some of his wages...

Suppose if they can't sell a few more in the next 20 mins, they can still try to offload them via loans... at least they might get some of their wages back in order...

The longer the day goes on without sales, the more I feel they are going for broke. I'm not sure what I want more, fire sales, or a complete lack of fire sales...

I'm rubbish at maths, but I'd take you up on that bet too... If there is about a 20% chance of West Ham getting relegated; about 14% chance of Saints being promoted; and (finger in air) 10% change of BT signing for West Ham, then my bad maths makes the probability of all three events occuring about 0.28% (Correct me if I'm wrong!). If I'm close to right (unlikely!), wouldn't sensible odds to offer be about 350/1 or less?

As the skates are down and almost out, they won't have much in the way of new material. I'd guess that there's a good chance that they have some form of 'Marcus is a nazi' chant.... and I think we could do with a simple come back to shut them up. Perhaps 'He was born, he was born, he was born after the war' (to 'you're not fit to referee') or perhaps 'He was born in 47, born in 47, you stupid *****, you stupid *****' (to 'Let's all have a party'). Poor effort I know, does anyone have any better suggestions?

I can only imagine that somebody in Argos' IT dept is a skate... And that they can't be bothered to pay for a valid security certificate... Strange

Argos Trade Clearance?
