Villa is a great job, Spurs fans expect a lot more and are less patient. Whoever takes over from HR will find it a tough task as he will leave his normal high wagebill and the owners fighting to try and balance the books again

Lack of ambition from Martinez??

no use trying to cover up now, the forum knows you go running to teacher at the drop of a hat lol

surely this will help any clubs relegated from the PL more than the likes of us.

Leeds Utd home was my first game 68-69? The Newcastle 3-1 is vivid in my memory for the way the Archers changed the atmosphere when the tannoy announcer told them to sit down. That immediately made them stand up and sing. The Newcastle players just froze and we scored three goals. i recall the South Today replaying the goals with the Solent commentator over the top. Was it Victoria Gramaires that it was pouring with rain?

Have you considered the wages these 2 are on. Wes brown was on 80k a week a couple of seasons back

If Hypo has really had a PM campaign against Deppo then what a saddo.

i sent a link to one of the items on the saga asking how people pass the FPPT, and are allowed to own a British football club. I was sent back the link of their rules adding that they cannot comment on any links or posts included. Its like dealing with FIFA, I feel that whichever football club it is they don't care as long as money is being brought in. I feel sad that a sport that I have adored all my life is tarnished by such goings on. I accept it is naive not to think these things are not around, and am certain in the past that our own club has been involved in unsavoury actions, but as football fans it is distasteful.

Any prospective owner of a Football League club has to pass The League’s Owners and Directors’ Test (which can be viewed here http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20100801/appendix-4_2293633_2128219).

of course, unless he is Stevie Wonder

if Deppo has been banned for good , it is a disgrace. Are so mnay on here so humourless not to understand his humour. I agree that Granty and Baj have a hard task but they need to understand this site needs lightening up sometimes due to some of the boring subjects and dare I say posters. I have met both Granty and Baj and both our good lads, I ask that they reconsider and let Deppo back.

isnt that what she says about you Lol

she is a bit too young for you, if you had put your sister Wendy then i may have been inclined to believe it

doubt he felt a thing....when you hit him that is

http://order-order.com/2011/06/02/the-bank-of-englands-great-inflation-swindle/ Just read this item online and maybe interesting to some

after the news of S/T prices i would think it is time to unveil a signing to deflect the upset

For the core support I have no doubt that the majority would renew even if there was only a week to do it in, but as the 10,000 spare seats for most games showed last year, there is still a very large audience out there who need to be enticed back. Giving them three weeks (with some steep season ticket prices) doesn't seem to be the most aggressive sales policy. It seems that the club wish to sell less S/T but more on the day basis. I know Man u like to have more fans turn u who are not there every game as they are likely to spend in the club shop.Te novelty of going to the game is higher for those people and if they bring a youngster then the shop is normally a port of call. I'm sure Im wrong as normal but..

I assume it is down to the retirement age being lifted. in theory i suppose the club feel that the concession only goes to pensioners. I get no concessions either and would like them to lower it to the over 50's

I dont agree, Walcott is and will be a fine player. Wenger has not given him the confidence. You watch Arsenal and he takes off TW when it should be another. As TW is not a arguementative type Wenger goes for the soft option. TW tore the Barcelona deefrence apart a year ago and they were scared of his pace and skill, it is Wenger who has stalled the development of TW

It is hardly the same, it is more like watching enjoying someones kid playing with the proceeds of the crime. A tinge of guilt would be there, but as the Old Bill had watched as he had knocked the old Lady over the head and helped put the the cash into the swag bag. The police eventually taking him to court, who after looking at the evidence for days, then were told that whilst he had mugged people numerous times before was sure that it wouldn't happen again as they had now a proper carer in place. This lasted until they were brought in front of another beak, who then let him off as the prosecution had read another persons charge sheet and tried to use the wrong course of attack.

West Ham , if Allardyce gets into them, Pompey now they are going to get some players in, Brum perhaps

Laughable,I have shown no sympathy (apart for the few decent Skates) but tried to put a different slant on the 'toast' scenario. They have got away with it, and many other posters on here who are far better qualified than me have seen a business that if it had been in any other sector closed forever. They were judging the situation by normal terms , whilst i was looking at it from the standpoint how it looked that there is so much corruption running through the whole of football and the top, that they would slip out of it. Im incredulous that yet again they have found some people to buy them. The Russian connection? Gaydamek may be a friend, interesting that Ambramoch's Chelsea are visiting as well. All coincidence but who knows. The FA PL and FIFA seem to be all the same,, rotten to the core

The gloating has returned, lost your voice for a few months though Lol

but that is it. Who has won in all this? The fans and the players. Pompey have always been a dirtyy little club who swam around the depths always trying to feed near the sewer pipe. The hardcore of their fans saw some terribler days and for those few im happy as they were proper fans like any other clubs. Then came the money that may be from dubious sources. The fans saw and experienced games that fans of clubs who played it straight never did. I saw Saints win the cup all those years ago, but i have not been privilaged enough to take my daughters to see us win a top trophy, the Skates have done so ,and all the JCLs with them. So who is right in all of this, I think i would be hypocritical if I said i would rather do it clean as quite honestly i think we should just spend to the hilot and get the succes as it seems the authorities just dont care

Exactly, poor old Pompey fans whose club was supposedly toast , have suffered 4 Wembley trips ,a European run, a team of star players and internationals,2 big wins over their bitterest rivals the media attention and pity. I think I would like a bit of that toast. They have got away with it and have experiences that i would have liked to have taken my kids to enjoy. There are some very good people on this thread who have thought they were toast but must be wringing their hands in frustration at how this has unravelled. This thread is not for giving, we have been shafted as football fans and taxpayers
