mcjwills Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Simon Gillett has passed on the opportunity of a lifetime. Despite a trial at Fratton Park he has joined Nottingham Forest. Clever lad.

derry Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Having ridden it out to the end, there may be a few spare quids down the back of the sofa to make him go quietly. Kanu is possibly more of a problem as he truly has nothing to lose, as a retired great-grandfather back in his native country. Sadly I now think they will survive, and our over-optimism may come back to haunt us. What troubles me is that their bunch of 'no-hoper' triallists have actually won both their games and it gives the club some momentum to go into the season, including persuading better players to join them. I think Howard is the tester - he said publicly that he would like to stay in the south and has settled his kids in school etc in Hampshire - BUT money talks. If he walks away from Championship offers to join the DCFSBs it can only because their offer is at least close to the other offers and it will signal a new 'quality over quantity' campaign. If he goes elsewhere it might just suggest that they are offering him a wage they can actually afford to pay. As ever an interesting week ahead Unless BH has some kids in his past Clare has no kids, they only got married recently and have been an item since he was at the academy. PFC would be attractive for him, live at home in Bartley, train locally and I wouldn't think money is a great issue any longer for him as he has had some cracking contracts for the last six years.

hypochondriac Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Look how paranoid they are! This is true to a certain extent, but you have been a little shall we say abrupt? Thing is, people on here get very suspicious of new posters as it is, largely due to the location of a certain particular breed of posters from a few miles down the road.

hypochondriac Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 No worries - though the simple answer is not to do anything to warrant a ban We ban scummers without warning though, they try to come on here and pretend to be someone else, posting as if they are Pompey - but they don't realise that we have many ways of finding them out and no matter how good they think they are at hiding, we do find them. There are no hiding places, even though they think there is and may even be reading this thread/post, but they will be found. Hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Thats roughly how I see it. BC will only put in the absolute bare minimum - whether he throws the PST the carcass is the bit that's open to debate. I really can't see how it could be in Chainrai's interest to have a football team playing at Fratton Park if he manages to snap up the "Gaydamak" land from the administrator of Miland Development (2004) ltd.

This, but then they are far too stupid to do it properly, they would rather hold on for dear life to the wretched carcass. Without the FA Cup triumph, they now have nothing, and to let go of how they won it, it will mean they have nothing left. The club must die, only then will the culture of spend/bust be ceased. Even then it may be so pathologically ingrained into that town that they will try it again from non-league. Could they 'do a Maidstone?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint in Paradise Posted 6 August, 2012 Share Posted 6 August, 2012 I don't mean to sound rude but I am sorry I am now finding it virtually impossible to believe Trevor when he talks about end by dates. There have been so many that if he was selling food,and kept changing the date on those items like he has with pfc,as that date came and went he would end up being prosecuted for selling unfit goods.

Any mod who locks this thread prematurely would be as unpopular as TBH is now with the phew, and would have 1000 or so nutjobs after him.

That's my thinking too. I don't think this deadline, unlike all the others, is totally arbitrary and plucked out the air by Birch. The FL will surely have set them a deadline by which they must provide guarantees that they can complete the season and Birchy knows that without Chinny's purchase being completed he won't be able to satisfy them.
