Big Bad Bob Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 If the SF is partly Kitson, then he definitely says he got paid in full. He may have been talking about wages he was owed up to that point or some other lump sum he was owed though. That is a true roll-call of honour. It brings a tear to my eye, just what these heroes have done for us and all the South Coast. The date on that jpg on my PC is 9th Sept 2013, there was also a Daily Fail article about it on the 7th Sept so I guess things could have moved since then. Surely, though, if they'd paid anyone off then the biggest and bestest™® football club in the land would be shouting it from the rooftops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Keep your eye on the plot guys. There really are no surprises, every move is predictable. Why do you think they've splashed out on 8 new players they obviously can't afford in this window? League 2 survival is no use to them this year. They must get promoted, there is no way they can pay their medium-term debts out of League 2 income after the parachute payments finish next month. My guess is the Presidents are looking at somewhere around 100 Grand apiece to keep them afloat next year, more if they want a punt at promotion to League 1. Sit back and watch the fun. They're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokie Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Not sure anyone has looked at it this way, but for the team that drew Saints 2-2 at SMS in 2012, they are still paying £31271 /mo (not including lump sum payments) Ashdown £1968 Ward £505 Rocha £4128 Pearce £729 Halford £4070 Rekik -- Allan -- Norris £4568 Varney £3845 Etuhu -- Maguire -- Substitutes Magri -- Scapuzzi -- Futacs -- Harris -- Kitson £11458 That is actually a bargain, because the 1-1 draw they got earlier that season is still costing them £79466 /month. Henderson £1073 Rocha £4128 Pearce £729 Halford £4070 Mattock* -- Ward £505 Lawrence £10416 Mullins £21867 Thorne £11458 Kitson £11458 Norris £4568 Substitutes Ashdown £1968 Mokoena £7226 Huseklepp -- Futacs -- Mwaruwari -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Talking of money, how much would it have been worth for Guly to either score or clear at Fratton, and Norris to shoot narrowly wide at SMS? 2 or 4 more points, would we have got more by finishing as Champions??

rallyboy Posted 24 January, 2014 Share Posted 24 January, 2014 Those figures are a stark reminder of how much trouble they are in - it looks horrendous in print. So I think they need to pay £1.8M this calendar year, which should be possible with PPs - but good luck with finding next year's £1.6M! It's fair to say that relegation would render them totally and terminally insolvent. Alfie is going to have to deliver papers to every house in Hampshire AND clean cars to get them out of this mess.

I think Connolly's Radio Solent interview after the previous game showed there are tensions between him and Barker. He said he didn't want to play behind the forwards but was available for selection and had been for some time. Plus he has been taken off the coaching staff by Barker.

*Halo* Posted 25 January, 2014 Share Posted 25 January, 2014 So, what have we learned over recent tantalising pages, in this Rapturous Saga of gleeful demise? For a start, I think that certain facts are beginning to emerge, that we may have been just a little harsh on poor old Factless Allen. In case you noticed and were about to call me out on the poor quality of my formatting skills - yes - I am indeed writing in "Pompey Paragraphs". I do so shamelessly in this case - purely to further extract the urine. I've also thrown in a nice array of needlessly placed incongruent capitalisation for good measure. Y'know, just for fun like. Pompey Paragraphs, or so it would seem when taking into account recent evidence, are a far more insidious and institutionalised problem that we may first have realised. And yes, I do have a theory on this bizarre and apparently localised phenomenon. Let's start with Exhibit A: Better use another paragraph actually: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/shameful-web-abuse-wrongs-wallace-1-5825730 In this example of the "Pompey Paragraphs" phenomenon, we can see above in the 'article' (I use this term loosely ) from Jordan Cross - that this curious trend continues to expand beyond the previously accepted notion that it is simply because "Nelly" Allen is an ignorant illiterate c*nt. In his insightful lyrical meanderings upon the effects of the "Bestest-Boo-Boys-in-the-whole-f*cking-world-evar!!!111one-one-one" - Jordan can be seen to embrace wholeheartedly the same emergent and enrapturing stuttering style of his mentor, the Number-One Journalist on the South-Coast (and probably of course the entire world!). But - as we shall now see my dear fellow nutjobs - the ever-eloquent Mr. Cross, is himself not alone in this divergent and revolutionary journalistic style of poorly punctuated prose. Allow me to present to you, Exhibit B: (OOPS!) New Pompey Paragraph: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/quality-over-quantity-for-barker-1-5832672 In the above exampled item of cunning linguistic excellence regarding another well known and popular Island Dwelling philosophy, namely the ever elusive "Quality-over-Quantity™" -- the widely renowned and prized literary talent Steve Wilson can be seen to also follow this emerging pattern of syntactically abhorrent linguistic butchery. Clearly then, it stands to reason, that there could be far more to this than initially meets the eye, and it may not be as we first suspected - that Neil Allen is simply an incredible f*cking dunce. Could it follow perhaps, if - as would seem a distinct possibility from certain emergent trends - that this is not merely a Nelly issue - but the result of a far more widespread malaise? In other words nutjobs - could it be that this is actually a far more serious and insidious - "Pompey Problem"?!? Is it perhaps that in their esteemed wisdom, the cutting edge executive top-brass of a certain fishy blue-topped online local rag have identified that their regular readersh*t - are simply incapable of concentrating on more than one consecutive sentence at a time... and that the poor degenerate inbred illiterati of that disease-ridden, skate and fat infested Island-swamp known as #lowlyportsmouth - simply need their misinformation chopped up into small, bitesized, childlike manageable portions of "news", in order to become mentally palatable enough for such #lowly single-celled aquatic organisms to ingest? After-all -- we are talking about the most densely crowded urban area in Europe, where the general populace seems to be mentally equipped to handle little more than the widely popular local pastime of producing home-made child-porn with one hand - whilst using the extra digits on the other to satisfy their demanding hoards of repulsive young spawn. Is it any wonder that the current most popular choice of girls name for newly ejected slop on Portsea Island is Chlamydia? Maybe in their consummate wisdom, our fishy friends over at The Snooze are simply writing down to a level they hope their simpleton readership can handle? Certainly something to bear in mind, as you trundle off to enjoy the latest match report from the slightly more syntactically accurate BBC - on "League Two strugglers Portsmouth" picking up another plucky point at mighty Morecambe.
