Waterside.saint Posted 9 December, 2015 Share Posted 9 December, 2015 Hiow can you have a gentleman's agreement with Portsmouth? They don't even pay their contractual obligations or taxes. That will be the most watertight 'gentleman's agreement' that was never inked. #tinpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danbert Posted 9 December, 2015 Share Posted 9 December, 2015 That will be the most watertight 'gentleman's agreement' that was never inked. #tinpot Yeah, so what they seem to be saying is that they have a written agreement that has a set duration. If they want him for longer and Sheffield United want him back then they can't have him, but, on the other hand, if Pompey don't want him, he can go back to Sheffield. This doesn't seem very logical or fair to me, so a definite Portsmyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biscuits Posted 9 December, 2015 Share Posted 9 December, 2015 Would that be like Toby Alderhoweveryouspellit being on loan to Saints and then signing for some sh*te London club despite Saints thinking we had first dibs? Good luck with that one skates. Nige probably only allowed him to go there on the grounds that he'd Buck his ideas up having seen where he could end up.

OldNick Posted 9 December, 2015 Share Posted 9 December, 2015 So, if I've got this right... they think they're entitled to keep a player they haven't got a contract with just because he's turned out not to be ****, and Nigel's going to tell them to stick it, the jealous scummer. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-upbeat-mcnulty-agreement-will-hold-firm-1-7105223of course gentlemens agreements dont count if he hadnt done any good. I suggest they have many other loans who went back early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's "only on loan until January" means it is by definition an emergency loan which has a maximum duration of 93 days (with the term agreed when the loan is set up). No amount of "gentlemen's agreements" will extend it beyond 93 days, because the only way they can do that is by arranging a completely different kind of loan, the season-long loan they don't currently have. The funny bit is that even if the Skates get approval for a season-long loan right at the start of January, Sheffield United can STILL recall him up to the end of the transfer window (i.e. until the start of February).

Shance Posted 11 December, 2015 Share Posted 11 December, 2015 (edited) Would love our Nige to troll the Skates, set up the loan only too recall him on the last day of the window Edited 11 December, 2015 by Shance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't seem very logical or fair to me, so a definite Portsmyth. The written agreement is the emergency loan, and actually, yes this is all perfectly logical. Either side can terminate a loan, but only the side with the permanent registration can agree to extend it. Though as season long loans can only be cancelled during transfer windows, once the transfer window is closed, if they've agreed a season long loan they can't recall the player.

I'm the first to have sympathy for genuinely unemployed people, but judge for yourself if those featured in this fall into that category. This on a day when it was announced that the government is going to pump £125m into Portsmouth dockyard to build the facilities for the new generation of aircraft carriers, and that MoD contracts have been given to BAe in portsmouth to construct RIBs for the RN, shows how the city sucks at the teat of government like few others. The constant whingeing and moaning to be treated as a special case appears to pay for The Scousers of the South.

rallyboy Posted 22 December, 2015 Share Posted 22 December, 2015 Conor Chaplin is averaging a goal every 93min 17sec for Pompey this season. It is a stunning strike-rate but how does the 18-year-old compare to the most prolific hitmen in the country. He doesn't, he's playing in a pub league.
