Of course he is bitter the group that replaced him were an appaling bunch of fantasists who tried to bankrupt the club with a reckless gamble that didn't pay off. Yes clubs have been bringing through player since football started but RL did build us a world class accademy with all the best facilties when other clubs were spending all heir money on foriegn mecenaries, had it not been for his sensible investment in a stadium and the training ground/academy we could be in the same boat as a club like Sheffield Wednesday

Clearly yes, the only way to satisfy some of the people on this forum would be for the club to publish details of all offers and counter offers and allow us to decide by poll if the terms are acceptable to the fan base or not. The same should be done for all transfers, even if an agent is just offering us a look at some dodgy no name from eastern Europe we the fans should know and get to decide how the deal progresses.

I have the same feeling! They just always manage to slip the noose at the last second no matter how nailed on they look to loose and I suspect it will go exactly as you predict the judge will simply go with the plucky fans for noother reason than they are the greatest fans in the whol world and deserve their cess pit. Sad but probably true, if this were any other business the whole thing would have died at the first court case but becuase it's a football club it carries on dragging it's dieing corpse around and pompey just won't die and nobody has the balls to kill it.

Sadly the match ball is already promised to an auction to raise funds for cleaning the fat out of the pipes at Moneyfields in a few years time, wouldn't be fair to let the phoenix club wallow it's in own filth like it's predecessor.

Most of those will be kept on the book until the end of the season, if we are relegated (fingers crossed we won't be) then some of them are the ready made replacements to come in and fire us back into the premier league filling any holes created by us loosing the likes of Lallana, Lambert and Shaw etc who maybe wanted by prmier league clubs.

Great news he's done really well this season and deserves to be rewarded, also as has been said it pushes his transfer value up which eventhough I don't want him sold is a much better situation to be in than Arsenal keep managing with their top players. Really keen to see the club tie Shaw to a new deal as well and I guess now he's playing regularly in the first team both parties will be keen to sort out his future. I fully expect them both to move on in the future as that is the nature of football but hopefully we will see more of them in a saints shirt than we managed with Walcott, Bale and Oxo.

I really rate his attitude and the turn around he has managed a the club, not many people go from training on your own to full integration back into the team. I also think it's a bit harsh to blast him for his consistency, there are very few wingers that are consistently good week in week out as it is a very difficult position to really influence the game from those that can like Overmars, Pires and Giggs land u at the very top of the tree!

I find this sort of thing very worrying, I'm not bothered if the club refuse to pay someone because they've not delivered or delivered rubish but the fact that we didn't send anyone to contest it makes it sound like we were just with holding payment for no reason which leaves only two options 1). We don't have a pot to **** in. 2). We are the sort of scumbags that don't pay our bills promptly. Which ever the case thats not the behavious of the sort of club I thought I supported, sort it out you muppets before we become a laughing stock.

We still created a number of decent chances away from home against a team who are having a great season, yes we were garbage but it's not all doom and gloom with a small dose of luck last night things could have been different handball deflected goal then we smack the cross bar at the other end pretty much sums up our season so far.

Adkins out that is all.

Adkins out that is all.

Plus points for Di Canio: 1. He's not Harry 2. He's not Harry 3. He's not Harry Negatives: 1. He's a muppet 2. He's a facist 3. He's totally unproven So on the ballance of arguments the only way he should get the job is if it's a toss up bettween him and Harry.

he took off Lallana, Lambert and Puch all in the same 4 minute spell after which we failed to hold the ball up and offered no threat allowing them to trample all over us those substitutions were ridiculous.

Terrible substitutions, taking off all our best performers against man u for example was simply stupid. Picking players out of position, Jay Rod is not a winger, Mayuka is not a lone centre forward and none of our centre backs are left backs. Leaving Lambert out, he's our most likel goal scorer so having him on he bench is dumb. Chopping and changing the keeper, I agree Davies had to go but then he needed to stick with Gazzinga who was doing fine not drop him and replace him with the unfit polish nut job. Sadly the sooner the manager goes the better he has not learned from his mistakes this year he just keeps repeating them and trotting out the same old excuses and above all that he hasn't made any effort to make us hard to beat since it became aparent we leak goals down the wings, we need to shore things up and make it difficult to beat us then the points will come which will give us the confidence to attack.

Whats the number for making my pledge to the muppets trying to buy Pompey? Seriously I'd rather own 0.1% of that crap hole than have Harry back at St Mary's, if it's true I hope we loose every game and are relegated by the end of January anything to hasten his departure from the club I'd rather be back in League 1 with a team full of kids than support that scumbag. For those that think it's just emotive ranting I say that football needs to be about more than winning at all costs and I'd much rather be a fan of a decent, morally upstanding club than any associated with the brown paper bag man.

As long as we are playing 4-3-3 then the wingers cannot be expected to provide a huge amount of cover for the full backs, their number one priority is to join the attack and not leave our lone central forward isolated. If we were playing a traditional 4-4-2 then their role changes and they would be expected to provide much more cover. The simple truth is we don't have the personel to play the formation we are, the back four simply isn't strong enough and we are not good enough going forward to play like Keegans Newcastle and back ourselves to out score the oposition. Sadly Adkins seems as set on the 4-4-3 as he is on making ridiculous blunders in player selections and substitutions, no other side in the world would leave out Lambert for Jay Rod or subsitiute their most effective players everytime they get a lead.

Easy to forget just how good he was for us back then, he must have been a nightmare to play against big, stong and reasonably quick, decent of either foot, great in the air and could score from anywhere. Love watching the teams of that era great to see players like Marsden and Fernandes at their best setting up the big guy, that really was a golden era for saints.

Far too good for that level and will demand massive wages so sounds ideal for Pompey with 'the smallest budget in the league' honest!

Don't think you'd want my numbers they would only be half right (assuming Boruc does start on the weekend)!

Boruc will start tonight and if he plays ok will keep his place for Sturday, it's harsh on the young lad but in goal in a season like this experience wins it for me. Gazza's time will come and I'm sure he is aware of that.

What a joke, the whole situation would be laughable if it wasn't so desperately sad and costing the tax payer, small businesses and charities a fortune. I can't believe that either the financial or footballing institutions in this country can allow such a farce but clearly it does so we will have another two years of Chiny robbing and asset stripping before once again putting the club into admin to dodge the massive debts he's run up. It's predictable rinse and repeat and those that could stop it are just sitting back and watching.

Would take Boruc tomorrow.

or the new owner of pfc?

Nobody keeps players against their will, if we get offered 25 million for any of our players and they want to go they will be quickly shipped out and replaced. It's much more dificult to get rid of a player the club doesn't want just look at the Forecast, Forte and last season Puncheon situations!

He won't get a chance to sulk if anyone offers us £25 million he'll be out the door before he gets a chance, lets be realistic.
