The great support who never boo their players and get on their backs have come up with this chant to the tune of my old man's a dust man:

 

Jervis is a dustman he wears a dustmans hat

When the ball comes anywhere near him he couldn't break a sweat

He walks around the pitch hands stuck on his hips

But he's getting paid £4k a week, so doesn't give a s**t

The same shady characters that inadvertently kept them alive by virtue of wiping out most of their debt via consecutive admins... I haven't looked but I would imagine Twitter is currently awash with hypocritical Pompey fans declaring..."if only the Football League had been stricter with our owners"...

If Liverpool win the PL we get a million quid from them as it was one of the add ons from the Glen Johnson transfer. Read it somewhere - anyone know if it is true

 

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

Let's give this a moment of reflection: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/jun/16/glen-johnson-transfer-liverpool-portsmouth

 

Liverpool expect to sign Glen Johnson within the next week after Portsmouth accepted their £18.5m bid for the England right-back and Chelsea withdrew from the race for their former employee...

 

Johnson, along with David Silva and Gareth Barry, was a leading target for Benítez this summer and is clear to complete his move to Anfield after Liverpool matched Chelsea's offer for the 24-year-old last night. Though unable to compete financially with Chelsea and Manchester City, who also bid for Johnson, Liverpool are still owed £7m by Portsmouth from the deal that took Peter Crouch to Fratton Park last year. That will be written off as part of the Johnson fee,

 

So Liverpool paid £18m for a right back, though actually it was only £11m because the Skates owed them £7m for Crouch (not like them :rolleyes:). In the context of that, I'd put the chances of their being any additional payments on the deal at somewhere between 0 and 0.00000000000000001%.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

But that was to the old company, or was it the one before? Any payment would no longer be liable, and if it were it would surely be diluted to 5p in the pound (or whatever) and that would be diluted again...

The club's accounts are to year end 30 June, so won't be seeing sight until well into next season. As to what the possible loss could be, £750,000 (inc £20k Skrill sponsorship) plus guesswork on the loss in turnover for the club. What we talking about this season £4.2m - £4.5m turnover??? - not including the Premier League monthly parachute payments earmarked to settle money owed to the 25 ex-players of £6.72m by July 2016. Then there's the £980k??? owed in incidental transfers, £700k-ish??? in charges/interest. Finally £1.2m loan to Stuart Robinson, payable of 15 monthly instalments from August 2013. All the above is from memory and guessork on the turnover so could be wrong.

 

I wonder what kind of contingency Robbo will have in place if the skates blow up again, he should probably speak to Chinny.

Still cant see Pompey being relegated. They've bought in a lot of fringe championship and solid lg1 players. Just how bad would the management have to be to make those players perform worse than everybody else in lg2 bar one?............I know, I know.

 

I think the issue is that the players have stopped caring

Not a lot of positives in the comments here. Factless may well have to switch sided if he wants to keep his position as fans favourite.

 

‘I told them afterwards I couldn’t knock them for that performance. ‘Maybe that last bit in the final third was missing

Just imagine if they did go down.

 

"This is a derby for us, Salisbury scummahs"

"Tough trip that, Alfreton."

"I've looked everywhere but can't find 'Forest Green' on a map, can the travel club help?"

"Nice ground there at Braintree, I like how they can afford a bulb for their projector in the club bar - Trust take note"

"Proper football down here. Three pass move against Welling."

Real, genuine Southampton fans take no pleasure in seeing their neighbours in such a dire position. It is inconceivable that pompey could drop out of the football league - it would be a sad bad day for Hampshire football.

Has it really come to this that you fear playing the likes of Rochdale & Newport County? It,s a total travesty.

It becomes increasingly obvious that those running the club are totally out of their depth & should the club escape relegation there seems no good reason to think that next season will be any different.

it appears that players brought in are no better than those they replaced & you are left with a large squad of totally inadequate players. I have taken in six pompey home games this season (thats right SIX) & consider myself to be a real Hampshire soccer fan

There are those posting on this site who consider the players are underperforming. I cannot see that - those playing each week are playing to their abilities & that is pretty poor by any standards..

 

I'm a real genuine Saints fan, also from West End and I take the greatest of delight from watching the Skates crash and burn. I care not a jot that they could disappear from League football and it isn't a travesty, but a just punishment for their cheating of the UK taxpayers and charities, the silverware earned by signing players that they couldn't afford and the merriment that we caused them by our relegation when they rode high. It's chickens coming home to roost that we have managed to attract a decent owner instead of the crooks that owned them and we are now where they were a few short years ago, whereas they are far lower than we have ever been in our history.

 

I would have had some respect had they liquidated the club and began the long road back the hard but honest way, but they chose to carry on as a trust and are enduring death from a thousand cuts, which is much more entertaining.

 

The only good thing about it is that they are an example to any other club of the consequences of spending money you don't have in an effort to buy success.

I want them to get what's coming to them. The Football League have been far too lenient.

 

Pretty simple isn't it.

Any genuine saints fan that had to work with skates during the great depression when they bought the cup will want them to continue crashing and burning.

 

I absolutely love that they're going to Rochdale as enormous underdogs! I hope they get battered and Northampton have a monumentous victory :D

Nice to see that we show some class and lend our facilities to some of the lower league teams playing in the area.

 

I'm sure that when we were in L1 and pompey were riding high in the Premier League that they would have done the same for our opponents. "The park's over there, don't forget to take your coats for use as goalposts, mind the dog5hit and if you need any extra cones then hop over the back fence & steal them from the roadworks on the M275 - nothing like dodging traffic to get the midfield moving!"

From the snooze.

 

Every game from now until the end of the season should be played as a cup final

 

PORTSMOUTH SAVED 20 4 13 PUP*

According to Neil Allen on twitter we can not get Connolly back because their was no recall clause .

Same with Ryan Bird but his loan period ends in within a week ! will we get him back ?

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. :lol:

Purple prose from the pen of #factlessallen:

'Saturday’s result against York opened the door for the true severity of the current situation to come barging in bearing its teeth.

Forget fantasy talk of a tight table ensuring the club is still in touch with the top-10 – or staging a marvellous late play-off push.

While you’re at it, time to stop gazing longingly at Oxford and wishing David Connolly was still at Pompey’s disposal.

It’s not going to happen, he’s gone for the remainder of the campaign, face up to it, there’s no recall clause.

The combustible veteran who alienated some at Fratton Park on and off the training pitch is not booked to arrive back until the summer.'

 

Sounds as if (in the vacant mind of #factless at any rate) Agent Connolly is still doing a job for us :D

What, field a team of players and then don't fully pay them until at least 5 years after they've left the club...? Isn't that cheating...?

".......we created more chances than we have probably created. They were not necessarily real clear-cut ones, but in terms of entries into the 18-yard box it was more than we have done for a while. We didn't win the game, however"

 

How sh1t have you got to be to be pleased with an increase in entries into the 18 yard box....

'Baring its teeth', unless you are talking about Pompey's attack, which is toothless, and now in a glass on some bedside table.

Baring, you cretinous half-wit! Unless you are talking about false teeth, in which case they might well be carried, but unlikely that a situation would have false teeth, even metaphorically.

We both picked that up, but it seems that a so-called professional journalist doesn't know the difference. I suppose you could say that it has some "baring" (sic) on his abilities as a journalist, as his credentials have been laid bare.
