rallyboy Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 yeah, the only one of those three options that won't cost them a penny is the free tickets - I wonder which one will win the secret poll! Though it would be funny if they took money to put in disabled facilities and just kept it. Standard practice down that way, but it would be an eyeopener for Npower and another deafening alarm bell for the FL to ignore. How's the Unpack the Pipes campaign going? I thought it was a community project to improve diet when they asked for commercial sponsorship to shift the fat. It must be going as well as the Unload the Deadwood initiative. Either way it's great to hear all these little rallying calls, they motivate, distract from reality, and create a buzz that leads to massive season ticket sales, and it's this sort of plucky talk that has put the Trust in such a strong position.

pedg Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 (edited) How in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord are they able to offer a "very good new contract for League One" in the first place? I have a theory that something in Futac's old contract triggered an extension and the 'new contract' discussions is in fact them trying to persuade him to sign a lower paid contract rather than carry on with his current expensive one. News reports imply it was the club who activate the clause. If they did that then maybe they thought it would get them into a better negotiating position selling him on but one assumes if they have activated it that if he does not agree a lower salary then they may be forced to continue paying him his current salary?

SaintRichmond Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Don’t worry, its coming. Imagine a ship sinking in the middle of the Atlantic… In a storm. Without enough lifeboats. What you are expecting is a captain, on the bridge, standing to attention and going down with his ship as the orchestra play God save the Queen. What is happening at Pompey is that the captain, having clubbed passengers over the back of the head and climbed over their bodies in an attempt to get out is now fighting the women and children for the last place on the final life raft. Either way he is going to drown in the ocean, however this way he is doing so without any semblance of dignity and has lost all sympathy and respect. It could be worse It could be an Italian Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 meanwhile UnAppy the hero has bravely declared that he's battling on and won't be tempted by all the big clubs who are queuing up to whisk him away from the fortress of fat. The loyal coaching genius has turned down loads of job offers apparently... ‘The thing is I know it has been frustrating at times but I enjoy my job. ‘I still get up every day and want to go into work. ‘I am a young man, I am in no hurry. ‘To me it does not matter how long I am here – and if I am still here in five or six years we will be in a different league and stabilised. ‘I want to be in the football business for the next 25 years – this is my first job, a job I intend to create a legacy. ‘If I can do that it will be good for me and good for Portsmouth. Then he slips in the key message to agents everywhere.... ‘It would have to take a very, very, very good offer for me to leave Which translates as - come and get me asap, please! But still the comments underneath this press release gloss over how he's heroically guided one of the most expensive teams in the league to relegation. Yep, just like they loved Cotterill, and relegation expert Avram, UnAppy is the greatest manager of all time. But the difference this time is he's supported by the best training set up in the country, and of course the bestest fans in the history of world football - so the future is looking rosy!

Gemmel Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 So another week ticked off the calendar and just the six left until the start of the season. Mokena was going to leave, but Trev was amazed when he asked for his money, so he's going to stay for a while. No one seems to want poor old TBH, so he's going to stick around, just for a laugh. Infact it seems no one is phoning old trev, to buy his players, which could be a bit of a problem. But there's no need to panic, the trust are just waiting for the right time to turn their headline proposal into a formal bid and then settle the outstanding wages, pay off chinny and buy the rest of the ground from gaydamak and once all that's done, they can focus on the CVA, ground renovations, purchase a training ground and put together a table topping squad. It's going to be a busy month. Rallyboy will need full member status, just to keep up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building on the spin earlier that the skates have the best youth set up in the country, it appears they arent quite so highly regarded in Ireland: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pompey-lose-out-on-farm-crop-1-4010162 Neil Allen has done his Oxlade Chamberlain trick by boasting at the special relationship before going on to mention a load of Irish players other clubs have developed! Shortly afterwards the truth comes out that all pompey did was destroy young Irish players' dreams... Home Farm were delirious to have established such a partnership with a Premier League club. It stirred memories of previously successful alliances with the likes of Leeds and Everton in recent times, yielding a number of players who would go on to international football. The CV is impressive, with the likes of Liam Brady, Ronnie Whelan, Gary Kelly, Ian Harte, Stephen McPhail, Mark Kennedy, Richard Dunne, Kenny Cunningham, Darren O’Dea, Chris McCann and Mark Kinsella home-grown products. ‘We supported Pompey and issued a statement backing them. It went on for another nine months but in the end was no longer feasible. ‘Unfortunately, it also hasn’t happened for Carl (Walshe) and Chinedu (Vine) – they were a victim of circumstance. ‘Carl lives 500 yards from me. I coached him from six or seven years of age and he is bitterly disappointed not to have been offered the opportunity at Portsmouth. ‘I can understand it – that’s football. He may have to come back over here for a year or two now and rebuild his career. ‘There still is a lot of interest from other clubs in forming a partnership with us, the problem is we got burned a little bit with Pompey and have to be very careful how we go on. These are impressionable kids and I have to be very, very confident our players would get an opportunity. I don’t want them damaged.’ Another business relationship destroyed by pompey, wrecking lives and careers in the process. Theres only one way to do it in the peoples republic of portsea!

Portsmouth have yet to confirm the news but Curanovic says he will meet up with the League One club later in the month and then look to make an impression on their pre-season tour. "My dreams came true," he told Slovenian daily Ekipa. "I'm heading to England on 14th July and two days later I will travel with my new team-mates to Spain. "I just can't hide my happiness."

holepuncture Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Well according the player he has actually signed and starts in two weeks time. I'm sure they told him all about the transfer embargo, liquidation and wage defferals. And he has to eat roadkill, cycle to games and live in a bus stop. No doubt pompey will give him a £10k PW salary as they prepare for next years debt haircut and court appearances. A dream come true? Only if the poor chap has been having quite a few nightmares recently.... The man is from Slovenia, so even portsea might hold a little charm to him. Judging by his youtube motivational he normally plays in arenas which are merely parks with metal fencing around them to seperate the pitch from the roads and houses surrounding them. So fratton wont actually be too bad for him, although im not sure what the fat-in-pipe situation is like in Slovenia. I feel sorry for him. He's clearly been spun a pile of crap and he's fallen for it. Why? He gets a UK taxpayer funded trip to Gibraltor, and having pompey on his cv will give him a good shout at the wessex league when they liquidate.

In his 5 starts he kept 2 clean sheets, and conceded 15 goals, including an 8 -0. ( As far as I can determine from a swift perusal of t'Interweb ). Fourpast would probably be better.

Because of the derisory salary that I am on at PCFC, I could not afford to go on holiday this year.

They could not afford their outlays during the season (hence the deferrals) and as every single day goes by the yawning gap in their finances increases. If they're waiting for a saviour to come in at the 11th hour then I hope they can deal with disapointment well. Brinkmanship appears to be Birch's only hope here - hoping the players are kind-hearted to forego monies they are entitled just to allow the club to survive ? good luck with that.

trousers Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 From a slow drawn out administration to a somewhat speedier and more clinical affair... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/mobile/rugby-league/18675339 Bradford Bulls have made their entire coaching staff redundant as they look to find a way out of administration. Joint-administrator Brendan Guilfoyle has confirmed that 16 members of staff, including coach Mick Potter, have been removed from their positions. "I was left with no alternative but to make these redundancies," Guilfoyle told BBC Radio Leeds. "I'm hoping to put some interim measure in place to ensure that the club can continue to fulfil their fixtures." Along with the coaching staff, chief executive Ryan Duckett and football manager Stuart Duffy have also lost their jobs. Guilfoyle, who claimed the club had just 10 working days to save themselves from "extinction" upon going into administration last Tuesday, is now looking for someone who would be willing to take on the job of coaching the Super League side on an unpaid basis.

But he wasn't there all season, he was at Third League Svoboda for the first half of the season (they got relegated too that year) A free transfer from the 3rd division to the 1st... concedes 15 goals in 5 starts including 8 in one game and plays in front of crowds of between 300 & 500... he must have got scared playing front of 1500 in that 4-0 defeat in the playoff 2nd leg!! Almost wants me to see him in action for them... almost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
