How does one do that by the way?

You two need to get a room.

I blame you for making the thread longer than it should be......oh!

Too subtle for me :-)

Mine too ;-)

That's the end of that thread then. Phew. Could be a record?

Even if he did, it is still there in full view in your own post quoting it :-)

If I post my pic of a headless man again, will somebody promise to ban me from this forum so I can do some work? I keep clicking on this thread when I know that it is 99.9% drivel in the forlorn hope that somebody will actually have added something useful (and yes I know I have just done the same bloody thing that I am complaining about).

Steady on.....remember Ross and Brand. [-X

No - the money that has finally crippled SFC was borrowed to fund Burley's promotion push (after Lowe had been booted out), and it was borrowed based on the assumption that Wilde and co were bringing in new investment. We failed to get promotion - the rest is history. Now, if we hadn't borrowed the money and paid unsustainable wages to the new players we may have been relegated instead of being in the play-offs - so if that is what you mean then yes it could have happened earlier. It is more likely our decline to this position would have been slower (albeit inevitable) if we had not borrowed that money from Barclays IMHO.

Because it is the Irish thread revisited with nothing more to contribute. Now if they had said "A deal has been done...." then bring it on.

Close this thread now.......pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase

Can the mods save us all a lot of time and just copy the other thread and scan and replace "Irish" with "Swiss" - then close it. Save's everyone getting their hopes up over sweet FA.

....other than the fact that they fell over themselves to lend the money, acting like bloody salesmen. That doesn't excuse the stupidity of taking it when you cannot pay it back though.

"Puke" or "Pluck" ??

No its not!! - geez. I tell you what, let's pull it down forget the whole sorry episode.

You missed my point entirely. He is buying it because it is a PL club that happened to be for sale and its probably the cheapest opportunity he is going to get. If you are asking me whether I think he spent weeks examining and comparing the planning aspirations (past present and future) of Portsmouth (as opposed to, say, Southampton) then IMHO that is complete nonsense.....but then who really knows. Your OP was all about implying that people would rather invest in Poopey FC than SFC because of the wonderfully forward thinking Portsmouth planners and the woefully backward thinking Southampton planners - when in actual fact he probably did not consider investing in SFC because they are way below the radar of anyone outside of this country, and that is because while this guy has been pondering the purchase of a football club SFC were either CCC pond life or L1 ameoba.

1) Only in some peoples heads. Human's have to have something to believe in. 2) No 3) No evidence whatsoever 4) No - he/she would be too busy making other inhabitable planets in that cheap bit of real estate he/she got in that Universe down the road 5) That is a tough one - can I think about it?

I admire your optimism. Could be a lot longer than that....

Do it now.....pleeeeeeeaaaaasse.

How so?

Stop it please. Whether or not somebody wants to buy Southampton, Poopey, Bournemouth or Leyton Orient, it has sweet f**k all to do with "where the City is going" or what the planners have or have not done or what they may or may not do in the future. It is because of the perceived status of the club in question and the price. End of.

Tell your boss to use lawyers instead. They'll get it done much quicker.

Hohoho - "Chaple stand sitter" - I have never been so insulted in all my life. You have truly cut me to the quick with your sharp literary repartee. Geez, you start a thread like this and then tell me to get a life. That is rich. I think I have just realised that I really am jousting with somebody under the age of 16, so I think I will be kind and leave you alone.

Oh - but "the floral dance" does? Do you really think people are posting these songs because they seriously want you to add them to the list?? They are taking the ****** out of you and you are too dim to realise it.
