so you dont then, lol

You can bless all you like but you haven't put figures up to back your obvious explanation. When you do then you can patronise as much as you like.

and where is 18m? There is a payment of 5.8m coming in on the PP, the club has to pay its way in the meanwhile £1m per annum would take quite a time to get the rest in. The PL will not pass the money straight to him and so I dont see how your way is so straightforward.

Lol can you imagine the council backing the loan and then the Pl deciding not to guarantee it?

So TB is holding back PP to cover his costs and only 5.58m left for this season. If that is the case I cant see BC is buying just to get his 18m back as patently there is not that much there to come in the next few years.

amazing, and so I suspect the council will have the loan underwritten,That makes it very difficult to say no to the loan if this is the case. I bet the trust wished they had asked for 5m. It would have let them make a better bid to the creditors.

if the loan/debt was as unclear as that surely the administrator would have kicked it into touch. Comical as it seems there must be paperwork to back BC up. BC is a smart operator and whilst I have been the target of a few smart remarks I am still here and have yet to be proved wrong. Many like the thought that the Few are squirming (well make out they do) and finished for years, i dont wish to take the risk and let them be quashed immediately. As for the squad, if the players are out of contract and no wages coming in, i doubt they are in a strong bargaining position and so will take what they can get. £2500 pw is still a decent wage, especially if like Howard they have been paid handsomely over the years they can wind down on such a wage. Some of the players on trial would have commanded decent transfer fees a while back

no, spot on

it is the school holidays

i dont think i am missing the point as i have said all along that Bc will take the club on ,and that they would not be toast. There are plenty of decent players around who are free agents and MA will make a competitive team. Whether they can get promotion is another thing but I dont see them falling down a league. BC all along has been at least 1 step ahead of us on here and whilst he may have been duped into lending them money some time ago, you dont become fabulously wealthy by making too many mistakes. he has something lined up and you never know he may buy the land around FP and make it a better proposition to a potential buyer for expansion. The FL constraints may be seen to be fierce but I have little confidence in them as they seem to wory about a team folding more than policing.

2 weeks ago the 8 players on big contracts were still there. It now seems that TBH is going and TB's plan to pressure the players through the media has worked. Bc is now free to take the club over with no debt and a decent PP kitty to come his way. Friendlies are no real sign of things to come but it seems that having no squad has not hindered them to get a couple of results and they can start from scratch, Im sure most new managers would like no squad to begin with and then assemble your own team. i see it as an advantage. of course many will say they have to be able to get the players in, but the way the FL have chose to turn a blind eye before will not give me belief that they will relax the rules so that they can field a team. They will be out of admn with a CVA and so can argue they are now free to go again. Depressing and anyone who crowed may have it thrown back at them especially if we fail this season, you wait for the ultimate crower to return as soon as the results start goig well down there.He will say he has been in the Carribean with Barbie and Ken and so that is why he hasnt posted for a while, but he will be back

is that why they have tried to get LL on a new contract so they can get some money for him?

Lol, to most he is not an option but a consortium of Pol Pot , Stalin and Hitler would be seen as a dream team down there. They have lost their pride in the stampede to stay alive. To a degree i understand the desperation but Iam sure many will feel tainted by the association, not all of them are knuckledraggers

mack if you were any other company I would be certain it was curtains, but with your crowd!! BC is the only option I would think and he will take you on to wring as much out as possible.

sorry it was a rhetorical question but thanks for the info anyway.

Charming i got dropped from your comic list, comedy must be bad in NZ if you dont get my particular type of humour. Im funny in the head by the way I have missed this event and didn't realise that Dune has been banned for good. Outright racism is despicable and if it was with real intent Iam saddened by it as I believe he is a decent person. I thought that type of racism was the older generation disease and was dying out. I find pride that people of all ethnic backgrounds are not only representing Team GB but they have the same pride in our nation. That is something we as a society should be proud of. Dune I hope finds a way to post again,as I think he adds to the site. We have lost some really good posters over the years and that can only be bad for the enjoyment of this site.

who is projecting this? it is comical, running an academy to any standard with the support and staff must be astronomical. Saints have brought through quite a few high value players but not every season, add to that the majority of clubs will be looking to their own academies to provide players in the future and not looking to buy

Probably, but getting their other half to sign the house over!!!

it is about time the the FL got some balls and told them like we were told, if you try and fight the deduction you will either get more or not be awarded the golden share. I doubt they have the finances to pay for the fight although knowing them they would go forward and ask for Legal Aid

wow that really puts the commitment of the Trust to back their words with high risk. To put your famillies future in the hands of a risk like that would take some doing. I suggest there are not of us who would risk all we have to save Saints.

AA being TBH's rep is also a bit odd. There are so many unanswered questions, why be surprised when it has to do with them i suppose.

thank heavens they tightened the FPPT then Lol

Lol I get my hopes up reading the well informed on here, that they are going to be toast and then this hope gets crushed. I have stated all along that they were going to get away with it, and sadly that belief keeps getting reintroduced as i see the events unfold. A fortnight ago there was much celebration on here and the toasts were in full force, that has diminished now and many are accepting that indeed they will survive. I hope I have jumped the gun and dearly want egg to be on my face and will be happy to say in capitals that I was foolish and could not read the events, i even put a bet up that nobody took up (I gave the money on sunday to St Johns ambulance at a charity event, as i thought that was apt due to Pompey owing them from administration)

all along BC was going to take the on, he just has been using Birch to get rid of the high earners using the fans pressure to do so. They are now down to a manageable level even if TBH does stay although if it is only now over 300k he will settle. Ma will now have a blank canvass to build a side with players out of contract who will be keen to take low er wages they would have done if they were still on a contract at a club. There is quite a decent pool of players out there and PFC will become a decent team in L1. They will not go down and even push for top 6. Whilst some think they will be finished for a decade, i dont believe so,it is patently obvious once you kick off the season it would take a massive indiscretion for the FL to help pull the plug and so they will now again be able to flick the fingers at the world. Liquidation was the only real punishment for their past misdemeanors and they have got away with it. I truly hope Iam jumping the gun here but sadly I don't think so.

lol looks like a audition for a boyband, could be named 'Wrong Direction'
