Saint in Paradise Posted 3 June, 2012 Share Posted 3 June, 2012 (edited) tonton is probably a very good friend with david lampitt or another name for that dave boyle. The first article sure shows up Supporters Direct in an unhelpful light. I almost get the impression that they have been caught out because they didn't do their homework properly and just relied ontalking to some "good chaps" like dave boyle. Now I am probably very wrong and don't read things the way I am supposed to but as I have got older Football and many of its ancillary groups just seem to me to try and get more and more money out of ordinary people.

Doctoroncall Posted 3 June, 2012 Share Posted 3 June, 2012 http://daveboyle.net/opinion/on-david-lampitt/So Dave likes the other Dave as he got it and nothing more. Wow 600k for being a shop manager and sucking up to the owner. I'm sure that sat well with his stance on improving things for the fans at the club, no moral dilemma there either.

And Blues defender Greg Halford believes handing in a 14-day notice could be beneficial to the club and players in certain instances. He said: ‘There are things the players can do.‘They could essentially hand in a 14-day notice where we could leave on a free. ‘That’s because our contracts have been breached. ‘The administrator would probably want that with some of the higher earners. ‘I guess that then becomes more attractive for clubs to take a free agent.’ But not so attractive that you've put in for breach of contract eh Greg?

True but he must have made a packet already with over 20 odd years in the game. Plus he must have been picking up big wages while playing for the skates these past few years.

Dark Munster Posted 4 June, 2012 Share Posted 4 June, 2012 The way I see it is that, one way or another, we are approaching the end-game. Birch is sat in the middle of a poker table, trying desperately to save his reputation along with the Skates, staring blankly ahead as he tries to call everyone's bluff. And there are a lot of players around the table to persuade. Chinny has to accept TBH & Kanu's wages if he is ever going to get his hands on Nottarf Krap. The FL has to give the Skates the golden share, even though they are clearly broke, or be held responsible for kicking the 'bestest, pluckiest little sleeping giant in the country' into oblivion. TBH and Kanu and the like have to volunteer to walk away from millions, even though they have children and (in some cases) grandchildren to support. The PFA might have to encourage them, too, or have to find £10million or more in guaranteed wages for the Skate players. Those pesky creditors have to willingly accept less than F-all. And all the while that Birch has to stare unblinkingly at his opponents, he knows that the potential costs to PKF are racking up with less and less likelihood of recouping them. The question is, which one blinks first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 4 June, 2012 Share Posted 4 June, 2012 So I think the FA agm ends today... I'm guessing Birch did t go as its in Portugal and the club can't afford to send him and put him on expenses for 5 days.....

Wes Tender Posted 4 June, 2012 Share Posted 4 June, 2012 Just thought that I'd see whether there were any interest snippets on the Skates from a glance at News Now. I seem to have missed when the transition happened. A couple of days ago when I last looked, we and they were both still featured in the Champioship table, but now we are on the Premiership page and it takes 4 sub-menus to get to the Skates in the third division. It is small things like this that point up the reality of how far the South Coast pendulum has swung in our favour. If they even get to keep their golden share, will they have a team left capable of defeating those giants in the division, Crewe Alexander, Crawley, Stevenage and Shrewsbury? Happy days.

The 14 day bit does appear to be an irrelevance. It appears pompey are happy to lets players go for free now so no need for any player to start the wheels turning on becoming a free agent.

I believe he made that statement with the caveat that ALL the high earners be removed from the club so that he can 'save' them once more without spending a single penny.
