Fitzhugh Fella Posted 16 February, 2012 Author Share Posted 16 February, 2012 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/potential_buyer_says_losing_points_would_put_him_off_1_3524326 The most revealing part of this article are the first 3 words - "self-proclaimed millionaire". Says it all and the fact this "self-proclaimed millionaire" is related to ex-chairman Jim Gregory (who is probably the original catalyst to the decline and inevitable fall of the Farton Empire) does kinda complete the circle. Does anyone remember Gregory's predecessor? John Deacon who tried to buy into Saints, was rebuffed and so went down the A27 with his wallet.

Ken Tone Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 My advice is that if any of you need some publicity for your business, you contact The News now and say you're interested in buying PFC. A day's free advertising for anyone is on offer apparently, judging by recent events.

CB Saint Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 @pn_neil_allen: Playing numbers continue to dwindle for Appleton. http://t.co/OYCJ8wMU #Pompey While the clock ticks down on potential administration, other numbers continue to tumble for Michael Appleton. The smallest squad in the Football League has just dwindled further. As it stands, Michael Appleton possesses just 14 fit senior players for Saturday’s trip to Barnsley. Even then that includes Kanu, whose back problems have contributed to just one substitute appearance since October. It also consists of two goalkeepers in Stephen Henderson and Jamie Ashdown. David Norris (double hernia) and Luke Varney (knee) have been ruled out well in advance of Pompey’s next fixture. Now Greg Halford (knee) and Liam Lawrence (calf) have joined them in the treatment room. It remains too early to confidently predict the latest two casualties will also be absent from the Oakwell trek. The likelihood is, however, they will struggle to declare their availability. It leaves Appleton, who has been dealt a series of tough hands since his arrival at Fratton Park, with just 14 senior players to choose from. Of course, such numbers can be swelled by Adam Webster and a maiden first-team squad appearance for Sam Magri. Other academy prospects like Jed Wallace, Alex Grant and Dan Butler have also been training with Appleton’s squad in recent weeks. Regardless, Appleton’s selection options continue to cruelly ebb away. 14 players - that's two legal teams worth - stop whinging and get on with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channon's Sideburns Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Dear Mr Lampitt, Having read in the Portsmouth News about your plight, and especially given Mr Appleton's comment about you only having 14 fit professionals, I would like to offer you a glimmer, of a positive result to this unfortunate situation. I have, at my own expense (to assist your cashflow) researched the market for you - Google is a wonderful thing, you can in fact use for due diligence on investors if you wish. For your next away game, I offer you this fantastic deal from a local company, as we all know Portsmouth FC (1987/2010/2012) Ltd likes to support local businesses. Please don't thank me - http://www.u-drive.co.uk/hireDetails.php?action=addToBasket&id=43 I think this should be big enough to transport the squad and your board.

Lambert1979 Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 What I can't understand is why the News keeps printing these losers' fantasies. Still, as we say, Poopey - the gift that keeps on giving. This guys sounds amazing - I love the bit about how he pulled the plug on opening his store which would have employed 36 people because of the attack....and now won't go in for Pompey if they lose points.....sounds like a really rational businessman to me...

saintjay77 Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Hmmm, fair enough...but Neil Allen (chief sports editor chappie at The News) posted this on Monday... Alan @todorov15042003 @pn_neil_allen COULD WE LOSE MORE THAN 10 POINTS ? Neil Allen@pn_neil_allen @todorov15042003 Lampitt is adamant it will be 10pts and these will be deducted before Friday. Ashley Brown@ashcb91 @pn_neil_allen what are the chances of us not being docked points? Neil Allen@pn_neil_allen@ashcb91 None. The lodging of administration order warrants 10 point deduction. But, there again, maybe he's making things up as he goes along like the rest of us..... I asked that Neil Alen chap a few days ago if there is a possability of more than 10 for 2nd admin n all. His reply was basically that a quick call to the FL in the morning would clear that up. As he has not mentioned the result of that call maybe he meant for me to call them???

rallyboy Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 could it get any worse? The club in crisis, Hampstead market's leading budget fetish goods supplier is having second thoughts about his chess-administrating son's impulse gift, and now Avram's grave-digging business and Undersea Casino Exploration company has been robbed of diggers. What can Hammer Films' favourite stony-faced prossie-botherer use now when he wants to part the turf and slip in his heavy machinery? What a frickin nightmare! Thankfully the Spinnaker Tower will be glowing blue as a beacon of hope, so that's good. In fact the tower is a good representation of the city, a sturdy landmark offering future hope, and a lesson from history. pompey were above us for six years - the same amount of time that the tower was late to open. It went over budget, there seemed to be no financial control..... And the lift...after throwing cash at the problem for a decade, engineers recently confirmed that after a few jittery attempts at making it up, it's never going to see the top flight again. Yes, the Spinnaker Tower is most definitely blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
