Saint Lindford Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 As a number of people here predicted, they are a shambles at board level with Chairman Ian McInnes admitting to boardroom infighting... http://www.expressfm.com/local/podcasts/the-football-hour-933450/ The explanation of why Whittingham did the pre-match press conference for the Southend game on the day he was sacked is laughably tinpot. The inmates are running the asylum... Truely cringe worthy listening to that. Champagne Ian talking about Jervis not being paid and not able to sign and then whining about having to pay players circa £7m who have not been at the club for years, well it is only what they are owed as they were NOT PAID by Portsmouth FC several times! The old chestnut about teams raising their game when they play at Fatpipes Park, do they really still believe that Portsmyth? Really came across as a small time charlie trying to play a big boys game.
suewhistle Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 :scared:keep taking the pills mack!!!!! Oh mack! Come along to the youth match, by train, and we'll all buy you a pint! Pills is bad.
Mystic Force Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 I think teams would be happy to visit Fratton Park, not intimidated with the points they are giving up, maybe "raising their game" is because they smell blood in the water.....
St Chalet Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 See Micah is blocking people for daring to quote his bosses to contradict his view. This is funnier than Chanrai.
The Kraken Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 So predictable, but the infighting has started already and is gaining pace. http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=525038 They're arguing about a caretaker manager! Although the "jobs for the boys" accusation over there is certainly gaining some momentum.
The9 Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 They don't care how far they have to go back until they find a victory do they! As a point of reference, in the intervening 30 years since Portsmouth last beat Newport, Newport have been relegated twice, liquidated, reformed in the Hellenic League, been promoted another 5 times (and relegated another once more) and taken 21 years to return to the Football League.

Safe to assume there is no NDA in place, can't wait until Guy's last pay cheque is through.

By some accounts, Corporal Clot gave up his contractual entitlements when he walked away. If true, a noble gesture. Credit where its due. there's plenty of other stuff to laugh about without making things up.
suewhistle Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 Safe to assume there is no NDA in place, can't wait until Guy's last pay cheque is through. Well, don't hold your breath; not with Pompey's payment record.
The9 Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 Trust you to know! :-) PS: Will you be swelling the crowd at FP? Yeah, having checked the cost of getting to Newcastle and back for the Saints match on the same day I'll be heading for Fratton. It will be my... 10th visit to the sh111t-tip, I have previously seen 6 other away sides there, mostly my student housemates' teams. There doesn't seem to be any way of doing this without giving them money, unfortunately.

If true, a noble gesture. Credit where its due. there's plenty of other stuff to laugh about without making things up. Very noble. My point is that he isn't going to sit in his hands whilst these two jokers go on local radio and criticise him and happily give a blow by blow account of how he begged to keep his job. One assumes he is owed something, he'd be mad to comment until he has received that.

One assumes he is owed something, he'd be mad to comment until he has received that. Considering he (allegedly) voluntarily walked away from his contractual entitlements (i.e. the rest of his term of contract) I'm a bit lost where you're going with this. Unless you're referring to his last month's pay, I guess. Which, according to Steve Grant, should be around £6K, before tax.

Possibly, although my Portsmouth thesaurus also has "realistic", "relieved", "desperate", "resigned (adj)"...
suewhistle Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 Yeah, I'm impressed! You are a true nutjob..

Unless you're referring to his last month's pay, I guess. Which, according to Steve Grant, should be around £6K, before tax. So you don't actually know.... During the interview they allude to the fact he is no longer manager, was sent away to think about it but when he does come back to the football club his role "will PROBABLY not be on an employed basis". Sounds to me he is tending his garden. Listen from 30:20 to hear for yourself or just continue to keep picking at my posts with unreferenced arguments.

Unless you're referring to his last month's pay, I guess. Which, according to Steve Grant, should be around £6K, before tax. No need to guess, he was on a one year rolling contract. The usual interpretation of this is that he would be due a years notice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22264435 McInnes "We are in a position to pay compensation to our outgoing manager" 39:25 Followed by the bombshell that they are "talking to people in employment". Add tapping up to the charge sheet I reckon.
The9 Posted 29 November, 2013 Posted 29 November, 2013 I'm impressed! You are a true nutjob.. Due to my dual club supporting responsibilities, it's been 2 seasons since Newport had an away game within an hour's drive since they left Salisbury, Havant&Waterlooville and Eastleigh behind in the Conference South. Seeing as I went to see them in Bury from Southampton earlier in the season it would be a bit daft not to roll down to Fratton. Has nothing to do with my Saintliness for once.

I assume they you mean to point to a spot in the linked video but the one you link only goes to 4 minutes or so and your 39:25 means little to me. Ta.

Colinjb Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Bet the Skates are loving this, local boy Matt Ritchie scoring an opening goal in a South Coast derby game. Must be great bringing through your local talent and keeping it.
St Chalet Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Hoping the good folk of Hartlepool are prepared for the Bestest TM fans in the world today. I hope they won't be overawed by what after all is a massive massive club.

OVER THE HILL Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Fantastic point for the plucky battling minnows. Andy Awful for manager.
ottery st mary Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Pompey are AWFUL........but so are many of the other teams around them in the league.
bpsaint Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Correct me if i'm wrong, but despite their point today everyone else's results means they are even closer to the drop zone than before 3pm today. All together now..... Sha la la la la la la la
JackFrost Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Few weeks ago they were 10 points off the relegation zone. They are now 4.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Approach made for the manager of the team at the top of their league... BBC Oxford Sport @bbcoxfordsport 12m We understand Portsmouth FC have made official approach for Oxford United manager Chris Wilder. #oufc
andysstuff Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 @NabilHassan79: #oufc chairman Ian Lenagan: "Portsmouth, who are a failing club, have come in for him (Wilder). Am I concerned about #pompey? Not at all. A failing club? Looks like it's not just us nutjobs who can see that.
seaempty Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Those 100+ applications must've been good, if they've had to go an approach another club for a manager.
suewhistle Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Those 100+ applications must've been good, if they've had to go an approach another club for a manager. Wouldn't compensation be involved: you know, money and stuff? Assuming Wilder is interested ( a big assumption in itself) I don't think OUFC need telling that they should get any compensation up front...
Huffton Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 And it seems the worlds bestest who travel up and down the country in droves and never, ever boo their own players took less today than we did on a tuesday night. Yep, without a doubt the bestest ever...

Assuming Wilder is interested ( a big assumption in itself) I don't think OUFC need telling that they should get any compensation up front... Seems to only be contracted until the end of the season, so about six months - £40K ish if he's on similar to Whittingham.

Seems to only be contracted until the end of the season, so about six months - £40K ish if he's on similar to Whittingham. Portsmouth aren't allowed to pay any transfer fee for players or compensation for managers until their football debt has been paid off, which won't be for a long time. It is possible that Wilder may have a clause in his contract that allows him to leave without any compensation needing to be paid. How Pompey found out about such a clause is another question...
Matthew Le God Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Wilder was a Saints player? Came through our youth system and was released without playing a 1st team game.
ottery st mary Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Came through our youth system and was released without playing a 1st team game. Cheers...name rang a bell.

Sha la la la la la la la They'd be 8 points adrift of safety if the FL had had any Mawhinney balls and given them the deserved -10 points this season, instead of applying it meaninglessly last season. However if they can manage to go down despite that let off, it'll make it even more hilarious for us. And even more painful for the phew.
Weston Super Saint Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Portsmouth aren't allowed to pay any transfer fee for players or compensation for managers until their football debt has been paid off, Seems at odds to this website : http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/fc-portsmouth/transfers/verein_1020.html Although it doesn't mention any specific figures, it does suggest that they have been involved in cash transactions on three occasions this season. Would be interesting to find out if the amount that was due on the 19th November was paid

Oxford have potential, the Skates have a self imposed glass ceiling so conservative it makes a domestic conservatory look ambitious.
andysstuff Posted 30 November, 2013 Posted 30 November, 2013 Seems at odds to this website : http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/fc-portsmouth/transfers/verein_1020.html Tick the exclude players on loan box and they all disappear - may be a payment to the owning club in lieu of wages or something rather than a fee per se?
