Can anyone decipher the logic in this one please? How can the trust benefit from a property dealer buying Fratton Park by paying Chainrai for this 'charge'? In response to is Robinson a fan and what's in it for him? Neil: No he's not, although has recently been to a few games, including Yeovil away. He is in it for a property deal, that is what everyone other than the Trust is primarily in it for. If you can tie all the land together it is worth a lot of money. Incidentally, the Trust stand to receive around £2.5m from the deal so both they and Robinson benefit.

Gosh ..there's a thought! I wonder if it has occurred to him.

Cracking article on the BBC site, about the inventor of the modern cigarette, and full of 'blimey!' statistics http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20042217 eg "A factory such as Hongta's in Yuxi [China] is responsible for generating 25,000 or 30,000 deaths per year from lung cancer. And about twice that number from other diseases. " "Cigarette makers make about a penny in profit for every cigarette sold, which means that the value of a life to a cigarette maker is about US$10,000."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-20297678 Admitted he assaulted a paramedic who was trying to do his job, attending an incident in Liverpool. Another 'nice lad' playing football!

I ws disappointed that Guly didnt play on Saturday. With no Fox for most of the game and then, of all things, Puncheon actually playing well, I had no one to whinge at all.

Perhaps if they paid him more .... ? That's usually the answer there.

Not sure I can manage the accent!

Was there any truth in the post that someone put on the News comments pages, to the effect that Appleton had said (on Sky?) that he didn't rate the Trust's chances? Or was that just one of us having a laugh?

And apparently Swansea fans think he was a steal.

Can someone please clarify for me the administration time limits? When did the plucky few actually begin (this!) administration officially ? Is it true that companies can only trade in administration for one year without a special extension granted by the courts? (You'll see the link to the previous question!) If it is true, what is to stop chainrai just prevaricating for a few months until the year is up? -- or even merely threatening to do so unless he gets his price?

Good. I'd rather go down with him in charge, and give him another year. If he doesn't look as if he will bring us back up, that is the time to sack him. We're trying to build a long term successful club here ...not just a vehicle for some temporary mercenary. That means trusting and supporting someone, even if they have a poor spell. Some of you lot need to have a word with yourselves. Well done to the fans singing his name last night btw.

I think that bascially the plan is now that they don't even attempt to buy the ground, just the club as such, with their tame property developer buying the ground and renting it to them. Not quite community ownership is it? I wonder how many of the pledgers will not want to cough up their £900 for that.

Think he must be confusing the board room with Fratton Park.

He was offside also by the way, according to Solent

Sorry ..can't agree with this. Did you watch Lallana against Spurs? He was everywhere, tracking runs and making tackles. The problem is Fox being out of position so often, meaning not just Adam, but also Yoshida, have to cover too often , getting drawn out of their own positions.

Schoolboy error you've made there! ---- Pay tax?

I only said 'probably' !

Well Friedel probably won't score at least!

Good to see that BBC radio figures are up. I'd pay the licence fee for the Today programme alone. Maybe the rest of the UK population isn't as thick as I thought! From the 'rajar' release today..... National networks strongRadio 4 is up 8% year on year, and 5Live just under 3%, although it has fallen back from its record breaking final quarter of 2010. The Today programme now has 7.03 million listeners per week - up from 6.44m last year and 6.63m last quarter.

It is even worse than that Danbert. The creditors previous CVA (which btw is not the first ..they've gone bust several times before this remember) had no vote in the latest CVA , which reduced their money. They did not even get the chance to not agree to this further reduction to 0.4 %. The vote was amongst the creditors of the latest administration.

You're missing the point, PES. Those creditors (you know, the ones from the administration before the last one) that are only going to receive 0.4% of their money did NOT agree to any CVA that gave them that little. They agreed to 20p in the pound. They have since been cheated out of even that little bit of their own money because your club still has not paid them one penny of what was promised, and now is proposing to pay them less than half a penny per pound. So a small local business owed say £10,000 for example will get only £40, whilst Appleton is, even now, paying £4000 a week to McLeod, after tax ... that will cost the club around £400,000 a year if you do actually pay the tax this time. God knows what you are paying the likes of Howard. That is why you will have another -10 points deducted -- for breaking CVA promises again -- and that is why we think that is an inadequate punishment for doing so. Because you are still paying wages other clubs in L1 can't afford, and nor can you if you really intend to pay off any of your debts. But all we hear from PFC is whingeing about a small squad and misleading drivel about a small wage bill , and your apparent divine right 'to be competitive'. Any normal business would have been liquidated years ago... don't quote business ethics at us. What you have been doing, and show signs of continuing to do, is morally wrong.

Not if it is integrated into the discussion by parts

You're lucky they offered the course option for being that much over.

As I said ... "most (but not all) police forces allow approx 10% plus 2 mph". I think the logic relates to the historical legal requirement for speedometers to be accurate within 10%. Nowadays they are much more accurate than that, but I don't beileve the law has changed and manufacturers set them up to 10% fast, deliberately, to impress us poor punters by how fast our nice new cars go. ( Don't know where the plus 2 mph comes from -- simply avoiding absurdly trivial prosecutions maybe?) Similary, some police forces offer the option of a speed awareness course and others just insist on a fine and endorsement.
