not much of a match, as patently CB is of such a superior being a mere mortal like myself will not be able to cope with his withering array of returns, they may fly over our heads and out of the court but he would still think he was winning. If only some of the facts re how close we were to be wound up could have been in the open forum but I respect that it is not possible.

of course you are one of the brightest and well informed people around lol. If the club had been liquidated you think the stadium would still have been there now? A Phoenix club would not have been able to fund a stadium of such grandeur, I assume you believe then that a SOuthampton conference team would have supported a 35k seater stadium, that the owners of said stadium would not have got the very best people to get the stadium developed into housing or a business park. The city council would have to look at the situation and in time it would have happened. Sheffield city council have just shown that when push comes to shove a stadium will be sacrificed

We dont know what is in the contract. It is a wonderful business, get paid 3 years in advance and then walk into another highly paid job to get a double result. If NA is out of work and is getting full salary then he is in no worse a position. He can live a fantastic lifestyle until he gets another job, and then get an even better package on what he got by managing us and improving his stock. I cant recall much hand wringing when Branfoot, nicholl,Gray, Wigley Sturrock left, they would have been in the same position.

well it shows what you know. At that time i had a very reliable source at the club, he has since left.We were goners. Pompey are alive because they have had tens of millions of PP's to keep them alive as well as Bc who has made it his business to stop them going into liquidation, to keep his chances of getting his money back

Looks like the toaster brigade have got it wrong. I would like to believe we would have such luck when the push came to the shove, but we were so so close to go forever. We got away with it by the skin of the teeth

just to clear it up, it was Wilde and co who got the sell on clause taken out when we needed money before they left. At the same time they also did the same with Theos clause

Can anyone recommend someone who does Fire risk assessment for a commercial retail property ? Ta

The valuation looks a bit suspect, you would have thought the Trust had put forward that valuation. It would be interesting if BC put an uppage clause in the contract. Eg if they go on to increase the amount of housing extra is paid per property above that stated.

if only you had thrown in a few golfing stories and it would have been more believable

IMO the Trust dont want the club they want Fratton Park. If the club was paramount to them, they would have let FP go and found somewhere else to play.

I always wondered why the players only do a half day and then go home to lounge about and get bored. I do understand about fatigue etc

No danger to those at Fratton park then

it still shows they are not running on empty

good one lol

I was not Frannies greatest fan but it is not right that he is belittled so on here. He gave his best and whilst he drove me to distraction he is still a Saint. If £500 is low to hire a celeb for a few hours, it shows how pathetic our society is desperate to be in such a persons company.

whats this poets friggin corner?

well I assume the civil service after all they bring up the rules regarding care etc etc

30k for cleaning windows and keeping the garden in good condition!! who did that work a PL footballer as a 2nd job

It would be great if a club want NA's services so much they will pay his compo to get him earlier. NC could string it out for months. I hope NA gets a good job and salary

It is not about the poor, it is about dysfunctional people who should not be allowed to keep a spider let alone a child. it is not about wealth IMO

without a doubt the idea would not happen, and seems pretty tough and a bad thing to do. On the other hand is it fair to the tortured individuals who are brought into the world and never know the meaning of true love and affection growing up in the family home.Some people do not deserve to haver children. I was staying in peterboro last week and was walking out of the town centre on the most bitter evening. A young mother was pushing along a small child 12-18months, the mother was wrapped up to the nines and the baby only had a baby grow on.What future has she got?

nasty bunch aren't they. There again i recall under Lowe how a bunch of our fans went around o peoples houses in a threatening nature.

the thing is, if you give him another 3 years it makes them even more desperate and have less to lose the next time. Iam far from a lily livered liberal, but i do feel very sorry for a lot of those lads who have never had a true family life. Some are bad lads and whatever you do you cant help them, but if my dad had been murdered when i was 6 years old i may have been very screwed up. Society needs to try and stop disfunctional people having kids. I didnt think it was cushy, every minute you are out of the cell you are under threat of severe violence, with people who really do know how to handle themselves, and used to fighting a lot of their lives. A very dangerous environment to be in.

Is there a way of watching it?
