He's just trying to claw back the £12 Million spent on Ramirez ... and the abject neglect of adressing the very obvious Pre season need for Quality CB and GK positions SFC is starting to look quite a "soul-less" organisation in some respects IMHO Next step ?? You have to bring your own seats

You could be right ..... ..... but rest assured, the FL are most likely drafting an amendment to that rule as we speak

Unlike Loans secured by Pompey ..... all their Loans are secured against a Buoy in the Solent

Once Cortese found out that Brighton's New facilities included NINE pitches, he decided to expand the Staplewood project to match

I'm not shouting

I don't think many "neutrals" would have put us down for an away win v Everton It is not the fact that we LOST against them that should concern Adkins, it is the MANNER in which we lost In short, we lost because we gave away SOFT goals, with the "Defence" showing a naivity that local Sunday League teams would wince at The final disturbing thing for me is Adkins apparent "Gung Ho" stance as to how HIS Team will continue to (Try) to play Before we all get on the backs of our players, we should all remember that they go on the pitch to play to THE MANAGERS INSTRUCTIONS Those "Instructions" are clearly NOT working, and I have come to the conclusion that Adkins is so arrogant that HIS method is best is going to result in many more defeats In the Prem, an away DRAW is a good result. but Adkins hasn't got a clue about how to go about getting one Although I don't like him, Alladyce is/will ensure West Ham stay in the Prem. I'm not saying it's pretty to watch, but from a Prem Big Business point of view IT WORKS I wonder what Cortese wants ?? Great attacking 3-4 defeats ?? Or Prem survival ??

That's the problem They HAVE NOT paid a price They did not "pay" the circa £140 MILLION first time round They did not "pay" the circa £60 MILLION second time round They have never grasped the meaning of the word "PAY" The Football Authorities have allowed THEM to get away with avoiding the payment of astronomical amounts of MONEY, something which those same Football Authorities crucified other so called "lesser" teams for pittances by comparison Within a very short space of time, they will be entering Admin (again) to write off yet more unpaid MILLIONS Now, if the other 91 Clubs cottoned on to the fact that it was that easy to have your debts written off in the same way, then PERHAPS the Football Authorities may start to live in the real world

So, we'll discuss at the end of the January window then ?? ..... Meantime, clean those Red n White tinted glasses eh ?

What makes you think that ?? Ask yourself this. If we are firm;ly in the bottom three come January, what QUALITY player is going to want to come to us ?? Answer NO-ONE QUALITY players go to SUCCESSFUL Teams. At present, we are NOT a successful Team, we are a struggling fledgeling Premiership one Proper Defence Building should have been completed in the Pre Season break It wasn't, and we are now having to live with that FATAL error IMHO A

Don't know what Quality's Jaidi has, but I've never rated Dodd (other than a player) In the past I know he has been a disruptive "influence" If we are to go down the road of a "Defensive Co-ordinator" then get a recognised person who has proven ability in the role

Mark my words ... The FL will do F*CK ALL to them. They have not bothered with them trading insolvent for the past three years, so why bother now The only thing I can't get my head around is HOW Birch is still allowed to "administer" an insolvent Company He appears to be just as big a thief as all of Pompeys Fiddlers

Some posters are advocating bringing in Boruc, or even that he should have played v Everton Why ?? Gazza (IMHO) has done little wrong so far. Does anyone suggest he would have had a better chance with any of Everton's goals ?? IF Boruc gets the nod in the next match, he will be confronted with the same problem as Gazza ........ a Defence that (due to playing instructions from Adkins) cannot defend. Even Shilton in his prime, or Joe Hart now, would not fare much better IMHO Organising a defence is one thing, but you have to have players of the calibre to be ABLE to adapt Unfortunately, we don't, and by January we will not be able to attract Quality players to us because I fear we will be rooted at the foot of the table My opinion is, that Nicola's "mission" of getting Ramirez "at all costs" detracted in no small measure in strengthening (at the time) the Goalkeeping, and central defensive positions. We are already suffering the consequences of that, but it will be Adkins who will bite the bullet for our now obvious shortcomings

Under WHOSE instructions does the Team go out on the field ?? No point in appointing a Defensive coach if the Managers philosophy is completely alien to it Adkins is STILL clinging to the idea that we can score goals .... Well, he's right about that, but he STILL seems oblivious as to BUILDING A TEAM FROM THE BACK I'm sick of his "our forwards did ever so well " comments. No point in scoring three if you let in four Sorry, but if he does not change (or is forced to change) his Policy, he is leading us to Relegation Being great for the last two seasons has nothing at all to do with what he is like NOW

No use playing attractive football if you continue to let in shedloads every game. Top Clubs BUILD FROM THE BACK "Sort ourselves out defensively " Sound idea. Just exactly how will we do that ? Adkins either won't, or does not know HOW to construct a watertight defence with the players he has. "Boruc will not accept defensive errors" Daft statement IMHO. Most keepers won't "accept" defensive errors, but just exactly WHAT can he, or anyone do about it. At the moment, we DO NOT HAVE the Philosophy of a Premier League defence strategy, and Adkins shows little sign of knowing how to plug the leaks. A keeper is the last line of defence, and, IMHO. not even Shilton in his heyday, or Joe Hart now, could have done any better than Gazza about Everton's goals. THe defensive frailties happened long before the ball reached him. Boruc will fare no better, because he will have the same defence in front of him. Good Luck Artur

What's wrong with that ?? That's exactly how the Football Authorities have allowed them to operate for YEARS The FL are, as per usual, GUTLESS to do anything other than to they themselves " BRING THE GAME INTO DISREPUTE "

I don't think you'll get good odds on that from Bet Fred The FL will leave no stone unturned in ensuring they keep going as they are The FL are too stupid to see the logic of them calling "time" and starting again, as a LEGAL Club

YES, I think they have got away with it £140 MILLION First time around £60 MILLION Second time around They have been trading as Insolvent for best part of a year at least... WHY have the Football Authorities not come down hard on that, as they have done many times in the past The -10 points is a JOKE, I'm convinced that the FL are racking their brains as how to let them off. And Birch is a joke also. For ANY other Business, he would have been forced to LIQUIDATE months ago The whole issue STINKS, starting with the MORONS at the Football League of Shysters.

He's not "Saints Fit" yet I expect he "chose" us because Everton would not guarentee him No 1 over Howaed ??

The old maxim .... "Don't change a winning Team" OR "If it aint broke, don't fix it" Sorry, but I honestly do not think Jos is Prem Quality Fonte was much more confident, because he had dependable Quality around him, and the defence looked solid and confident also, because they had someone between the sticks who commande his area, and was assured of what he was doing. It will be a bad call if NA drops Gazza for Everton IMHO

And perfectly OK with the FL I wonder what the hell the hold is that Pompey have over the Football Authorities. Must go back to the WW2 days .... All them tunnels in all them hills

"Anyone know how to make Irish coffee ??" 1) Fill kettle with water 2) Boil water 3) Select cup 4) Select any Teabag 5) Add water 6) Milk and sgar optional

He won't be going there to sit on the bench, that's Lloris's job at the Spuds Field

Oh go on .... don't belittle yourself

Spot on I've been more or less saying the same Adkins more or less said we'd get some more (defensive) signings BEFORE transfer deadline day. We didn't get them. Then, it was "before the start of the season" OK we got Yoshida, Ramirex and Mayuka, but I bet you they wern't the "signings" Adkins had in mind, the most obvious deficiency being a Top Rate Pre Keeper. As the great Bard wrote .. "Something's rotten in the Stae of Denmark" (Mind you, how he could have known all those years ago is a bit of a mystery )
