Ambition, gets you every time.

I find the crossword a struggle.

Hope the club make the players wear ear defenders when they line up for preliminaries, so they can't hear YNWA. Might be advisable to do a head count when they board the coach after the game, wouldn't want any left behind.

Thanks for that.

At the time of player sales we were told all transfer income would be reinvested in the squad. Now I'm hearing Ralph still saying the same mantra but with the caveat that wages and signing on fees will come from this figure as well. I'm curious as to why this would be when we've saved the salaries from the defectors.

My input for what it's worth, that's one hell of a text.

We the supporters are the club ,you guys who've written on this thread prove that. If that bunch of incompetents known as the board felt the same about it as we do, no way would this fiasco be occurring.

1. KL finds a buyer, 2. Due diligence is carried out by prospective buyer 3. Club is purchased 4. New owner authorises purchase of new researched squad members. 5. and quote, "maybe we get a chance to turn around what is going to be a horrible season" Today's date is 28th July, first game of season 17th August, transfer window closes 1st September Good luck with that plan.

hmmm, CONFABULATION, now there's a word

"Captain material, my arris. A captain would say they can't wait to get back to to the club, can't wait to work with RK. Captain material would be standing by the club and standing firm, not wanting your cake and ****ing eating it." With all due respect m'lord a captain could say abandon ship

The flaw in your argument is that the scenario you depict can be levelled at any transfer of any player by any club.

Any chance in asking him to honour his contract?

And he claims the lure of Pompey saw him turn down a host of other clubs. He told The News: ‘I am not going to name the clubs but I had the opportunity to jump into League One with some decent teams. ‘I would say there were about five or six. ‘There was a bit of a Championship move that maybe I could have done if I waited out. ‘And there were 10-12 in League Two. 20 clubs including Pompey wanted a loanee who helped relegate Aldershot, Yeah of course there was. His brain cell took a bashing heading the ball last season methinks.

Bradley Saunders! ‏@BradSaundersPfc Are you ****ing joking #pompey nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro and Fila all came in to make our shirts next year but we chose Sondico #poor Probably the only mob prepared to give them any credit, Might I suggest the fool from Sondico who negotiated the deal start working on his CV

With my cynical head on, any JCL could have written this. Be prepared for plenty more of this drivel to be drip fed to the phew over the coming months, as encouragement to continue pledging.

No matter what else you do pay heed to the words of Baloo The debt is secure my plan is on track I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK

Hmmmm, Data Protection ?????????

Why? I'd expect at least double that much to take him off of Pompeys payroll.

Brilliant as usual rallyboy, this could be the start of a whole new thread, my contribution for what it's worth, 11. The sound of fist making contact with a skull, when a pledger tells the wife the kids will have to forgo christmas this year.

"He turned down numerous offers to quit Fratton Park during the summer, in favour of soldiering on." I'm assuming the implication is that other clubs wanted him rather than Trev begging him to leave, and if I'm right can anyone enlighten me who they were or is this a result of more deluded Appleton spin.

They could always try the clubs begging approach and beg MA to see if they could borrow the 1st team kit. After all something borrowed, something blue, something old and something ..... well that's that plan out of the window. begging technique

It seems to me that unAppy has no pride, this begging in public is so cringe worthy. Next we'll be hearing of an upsurge in the number of big issue and lucky heather selllers in the PO district of Hampshire. If he can hold out to the autumn he can expect a windfall of finance what with it being the season of trick or treating and penny for the guy, and lest we forget December, with all the carol singing could sustain his moves in the January transfer window.

"The trust takes over FP for 5 million (assuming the trust can raise 5 million) and we resurface in conference south for 12/13 as a phoenix from the ashes of liquidation. Maybe 13/14 we're in league 2, then league 1 for 14/15. Write player contracts which pay a basic salary + shares of gate receipts / advertising revenue / tv rights payments." Good luck with that plan,

An insolvent club traveling 1400 miles to play against a team that is based 50 miles along the A27.
