With Nigel Adkins under pressure down the road am I the only one worried that their chairman might try and prise Appleton from under our noses? #PUP [/TD]

[TD]Comment From Barry

I've been convinced all along that we'd have been better off creating a new club from scratch as soon as we went into admin for the 3rd time in such a short time span - it's the only way we'll shake off the leeches once and for all. I'm convinced we'll look back in 5 years and wish that that is what had happened.. We'd be on our way back up by now rather than continuously staring down the abyss. #false_economy [/TD]

[TD]Comment From Kevin

Are you happy that the Football League are at long last starting to be more rigorous with scrutinising who takes over? We've had five years of them waving through any old owner so we should be applauding them now for taking a tougher line IMO [/TD]

[TD]Comment From maccaj51

I go every week, home and away. Appy talks a good talk off the field, but we have been appalling on it ever since he came (minus a very few exceptions). We have been AWFUL this season and I cannot believe he thought we should have got something last night. I was so angry when I heard his interview- Deluded. We are paying McLeod 4k a week and the others the same. Every team we have played have had a wage budget below ours... Pretty much every other team has to bed players in... we look pathetic. Appy doesnt even make changes or talk from the sidelines... im beginning to have had enough [/TD]

If Chainrai wants his money back, the best way for him to do it is to pump in the cash for us to spend our way up to the Premier League to get the TV money! [/TD]

Steve is spending his time on a Portsmouth News forum. Surely he isnt implying hes only there because they're paying him to be and he'd rather be anywhere else? ;)

This always makes me laugh. IF the FL had taken a stricter stance then the club would have gone out of existence long ago and the idiots down the M27 would be moaning about it.

Right, Michael Appleton has applied for the Coventry City job. They are seriously considering him, that is why the Mark Robins appointment at the Ricoh has been delayed.

That would be out of the fire into the frying pan for him, at least I suppose!

It seems he was too late in the end. Well, so much for the loyal manager either way!

 

Why would appy go for the Coventry job after he turned down all those offers in the summer :) :)

 

One could only assume he has been given a steer as to who might win the bid ............

the Ho comments are always a chuckle so well done on that, but the one that made me really laugh out loud was the fan that is worried that Cortese will try to pinch Appy off them! :lol:

 

 

Come on, who was that?

Surely no pompey fan is that deluded.

 

 

 

And Appy's judgement has to be questioned when he looks around the league and applies for the only job that looks like more hassle than the one he has already.

Out of the frying pan into the unserviced toilet pit at Reading festival on the final night.

Far bigger club though in all seriousness.

 

Coventry is indeed a bigger club that portsmouth, still one deep in trouble, but not as deep as PFC ---hence my reversal of' frying pan' and 'fire'.

Lots of stuff on the web to the effect that Robins is about to be named manager there, but no confirmation that I can see, which does make you wonder. It would be a delicious extra little titbit in the PFC feast if Appleton were finally to walk out on them after all the loyalty talk

What is he saying here? I don't understand what he means. Does he mean the club can go into administration 18 times (they're well on the way)?

Would suggest both bids have resolved outstanding issues with Football League. Although it did say Fit&Proper test yet to be done. #pompey

 

 

Hassan ‏@NabilHassan79

Just had a statement from Football League which says it's now up to PKF to choose a preferred bidder before they become re-involved. #pompey

 

 

Over to you Birchy .....

A question for our insolvency experts...

 

The administrator is appointed by the court with the sole purpose of finding the best financial outcome for the creditors. As such, does Birch have any discretion available to him or is he duty bound to simply pick the bid that offers the highest potential return for creditors?

 

In other words, even if he thinks the Trust bid puts the club in a better position in the long term (morally or orherwise) is he legally bound to ignore that if he thinks the creditors are likely to get more out of the likes of Portpin in the short to medium term?

 

(I know, I know....)
