That's it, I officially don't want liquidation now. Watching that shower of sh!te try and claw back a -10 deduction whilst the loan shark bleeds them dry is going to be way way more fun.

as they appear to be in a little bit of a pickle - I've just had a great idea!

 

How about they take whatever budget they have and instead of spending it on enough players to compete for a season, they get fewer players, but pay them more?

 

We could call this new policy, 'less but better' or 'few and classy'.

 

And perhaps they could set a wagecap to keep this budget on track, and then pay twice that to the first player they meet the next day?

They could also loan out perfectly good young players to pretend they haven't got enough to put on the bench...

 

I can't see anything that could go wrong - whatever way you look at it, the figures stack up.

 

Almost worked if it wasn't for that pesky points deduction.

My favourite fact of the day.... Tarbuck's dad's name is Jimmy

Whilst I agree completely with what Claridge says, it's very easy for him to say it now. Did he actually wonder where the money was coming from at the time? Who knows.

 

To be fair to Claridge - who IS a tool - even if he had those thoughts way back then, there is no way he could have expressed them to the knuckle draggers!

 

Look at all the Pompey fans being branded as farking scaaaammmmmaaaaasssss and b-anned from POL just for holding an opinion contrary to the norm!

 

Add that to the treatment of TBH et al who were perceived to have 'wronged' Pompey by asking for the money that was rightfully theirs! They received bile and resentment from the local rag and death threats from the local inbreds. Had Claridge been brave enough to voice his opinions a few years ago, I suspect he would have been pushing up daisies ever since!

It would be interesting to know if any local catering companies are dealing with them to provide the sumptuous pre-match buffet.

The pre-match sumptuous buffet is likely to consist of taking orders and then nipping out to a burger van on Southsea front.

 

my money's on turkey twizzlers from Iceland

Yep, I wasn't 'slating' Claridge for what he said per se, rather how he came across as all surprised that administrators are leeches. As you say, that ought to be common and unsurprising knowledge from the offset. It's the typical "moan about it after the event" approach from our friends down the road.

 

IMHO of course.

 

2m does seem a tad excessive though - I mean what has Birch actually done?

You see, they DID have a team all the time. Don't know what Appy was complaining about.

So far it's going exactly as expected, getting thrashed but hanging on, the first goal when it comes will signal an avalanche as the kiddies all fold simultaneously.

 

Can someone check if my predicted 22 contains all of their players? Nice touch from the Skates only using squad numbers over 21 - typical wastefulness though, if they'd gone 1-11 they'd have saved £100 on shirt number costs.

And still they take the pee, bill for administrators "fixing" Pompey, nearly 2 million pounds, another name to add to the list of shame!

 

I thought a business could only go into administration providing there is enough equity from the sale to pay the fees, if there is no chance of that then the business is closed down. Stand to be corrected but it must be remembered they are working for the creditors and not PFC. Just change the locks now.
