Quite agree, for too long we have tried to play our so called best players at all costs at the detriment of the team. Go back to when Ramsey won the WC and he didnt play Greaves, who was the best goal scorer in the day. Can you imagine the media and fans outcry now if a manager tried to do that now? The media focus was nothing like it is now. We have to grasp the nettle and play Gerrard in his best role, Rooney in his and the rest may fall into place.You can see Gerrard and Rooney think as one, wheras Lampard!!!!!

go for bust .Go and make the world sit up. Sadly Capello's lack of good english will not be aqble to stir the team, at moments like that it is what the players need. You cant do it every game but there is always a time, and that is before the Slovenia game

should be in acid

Lampard and Gerrard just dont play together.A decision has to be made which one has to be dropped. Gerrard for me is the best of the 2 and when he was more in the middle he clicked with Rooney. Play Rooney as he does for Manu as a lone striker and then use the pace on the wings with midfielders coming on supporting. Barry is a plodder and whilst we need a defensive midfielder his touch and slow control stops any momentum going forward.I dont know who else we have in the squad who can do his job.

****y is back, now that they have got away with it (so far anyway) I truly hope that you one day are screwed by a company who do the same as your club have done TWICE to small businesses. We took the bank, so that is not so bad in my book. The more neutral fans i talk to shake their heads in disbelief in the way you have been treated compared to clubs like Luton and especially Salisbury. A crooked regime that has traded whilst in solvent. Any normal busines would be ashes now, Why is Pompey not? Dark forces you think is a figment, well so it may be but it must be the only real reason. When you get your true desserts then we will not hear from you again, nothing new there of course

I can see the ticket office sitting at their computers awaiting the replies to this Stu. It is a somewhat terse reply from my standpoint, but I suppose they get loads of well meaning fans trying to tell them how to run the business. The tone is not like one you would normally get from David Luker and so I suspect NC has made it plain that ' no debate' will be entered into.

and the local postie is no doubt a pompey fan, so loads of the forms will no doubt be thrown in a hedge somewhere Lol

Perhaps, but what is longterm in this case? We have been going on this road for months if not more than a year

It does seem a nonsense that especially in this case that if the administrator finds unethical work ,the business will have penalties. Therefore it is not in his interest to find anything wrong

I agree but Im right Lol

it doesnt matter how often you are in a playoff position , it is important when you are

you wish

If so the HMRC as others pointed out,have played a blinder

in your opinion he played people in the wrong position/bad tactics/subs etc. The difference between a pro football manger and a fan is that he has to put his head on the chopping block if his decisions go wrong. Fans team selections always play a blinder,never have an off day and aren't sulking because their wag didnt sha# them before the game. There has never been a manager at SFC I didnt agree with all the time. LM played some awful formations/players IMO, WGS likewise. I doubt anybody could run our club with the politics and backbiting going on at that stage, Gb did ok in the circumstances, and still got us the closest to the PL.

perhaps we should make the club a listed company then........ohhhh

How much was it put down as on the creditors report. if it was only projected but was put in a a full debt and this ha[ppened many times over, it would put another doubt in on AA's figures

That would be good news.

DD it was an example where we did look a good team. the play off semi final second leg ,we were superb. There were many games where we played good football. There was a problem where he didnt play some fans favourites and so they went off on one. At this moment in time i wish that Wilde and co spalshed out 10's of millions more to get us up and we could now like our neighbours still be enjoying the fruits of the PL riches.

Did AA say that Udinese were not contactable!!!!!!! I bet had they been the casting vote to save his plan he would have got on a plane and made sure they were. It seems the fans on here are the only ones concerned at the whole wepisode, and next season we will hear about how wonderful it is that Pompey have been saved by those in the media...get the sick bag

sky is very good and I have just renewed to go back on it. I do think though their monopoly is not a good thing, what stops them really whacking up the fees? Also it gives more money to the greedy players longterm.

i think any non votes are seen as an acceptance of his plan. I wonder how many forms could go missing,or are they sent recorded delivery.

Lol, perhaps you see it as that way. It is not my intention but I suppose it may come over like that. More like we are all feeling sore that Pompey at this time are getting away with it and taking things badly. Surprisingly, I still believe that there may be a chance of a sting in the tail and the HRMC may well contest this, but it is the last chance for them to stop a travesty happening. Im sure we will get some sickly posts from Ho crowing on here. The whole chapter smacks of a cover up to me, and as Dubai has also posted I have a feeling there are too many people in important places who have had a slice of the pie and are desperate for it never to be found out. How come Lampitt was parachuted in from a safe job to one that in theory would be gone a few weeks later, and PS left at his post for so many weeks???

Im expect GB does like a drink, so do most of us. Time and again I heard these stories of him out of his brain etc, but not once did anybody have a mobile with a camera to show it. That was at little SFC, he then became Scotlands manager where the tabloids would be looking to set him up.Can anyone show me articles in the NOTW or any other paper with such an expose. i think people should feel ashamed that they peddle this stuff ,mainly by hearsay, like petulant kids just because they didnt like the way he was managing the football team. If the fans had been behind him and not picking away perhaps we could have done better. The fans singing Burley for Scotland etc could hardly be helping the team. This season i an concerned that due to the fans expectations they will be a negative as if things dont go well early on ,some will get on the backs of the manager/ team/players
