manji Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A big watch out next season if you are going to away games especially Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool according to POL . Apparently fans of these clubs are massively supporting P**pey in their hour of need and will be very hostile to our fans because of us being nasty to the skates. Please please be careful going to any of these games !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 August the 10th it is then....... http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1126757?cc=5739 "If the new owner does not take over the liabilities and guarantee £10 million of football creditors then the Football League will not transfer its share and the club will go under. To save the club we are frantically trying to negotiate with players such as Kanu and Tal Haim. We have offered Tal Haim a substantial compromise which he has turned down, so it is difficult to negotiate. "Perhaps he is playing a game of bluff. Perhaps he thinks we are bluffing that the new owner will save the club and still pay him or accept his liabilities going forward." I don't think so, Trevor. I'm sure TBH (legend!) knows you are not bluffing that Chinny won't save the club and also pay him, or any of the other magnificent 7 (....Varney you fool). Unfortunately (for you and Chinny, anyway) he also knows that when the cesspit is liquidated there's a very good chance he'll get most of what he's owed back from the parachute payments. Nice try though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedg Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 I must say I am impressed by the fact that Appy is of such a calibre as a coach that he can buck the trend of hollywood cliche endings and has managed to turn a group of competent players into a team of no-hoper's.

rallyboy Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 what a great training camp! Big earners isolated and insulted by being left at home. No one worth signing. Nine goals conceded, one scored. Sponsor insulted after forking out for a 'pompey pre-season' that was in fact a holiday for stangers. Club now re-seeded below the Isle of Wight and Jersey in world rankings. On reflection, Cotterill's US comedy roadshow tour in the style of Spinal Tap meets Frank Spencer now looks constructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 For those that missed it this morning... A transcript of part of the Gordon Taylor interview this morning: "Portsmouth has been a problem for a long long time now. It's been badly handled. Our members there have given up wages for a long long time. They're looking at trying to help save the club. They were prepared to do settlements and compromise on that. We got cooperation from the Premier League for future parachute monies to at least guarantee those payments that they were prepared to wait years to get back but the potential new owner of the club doesn't want that to happen and so it's a real stand-off at the moment" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
