Hatch Posted 16 March, 2015 Share Posted 16 March, 2015 Just caught the last 30 minutes of Redknapp on Danny Kelly's 'My Sporting Life' show this evening... Carlsberg don't do nauseating re-writing of history, but if they did.... And Kelly has taken sycophancy to a whole new level. I usually enjoy these shows of Kellys, I will avoid this one like the bloody plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openness, transparency, honesty. http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=581453 Mick Williams goes online to rebut Mike Saunders' comment that MW was resigning due to ill health or pressure from his wife. Nice little public ding dong between the two. OldSpice Posted on 15/03/2015 12:02 SAVE OUR MICK - Should the Trust call an EGM Report Message | Email Message To A Friend | Reply To Message I have NOT resigned from the PST board due to ill health or any pressure from my wife or anyone else. Sometimes, a man has to stand by his principles even when that stand can have undesired consequences - this whole matter has been one of those times. OldSpice Posted on 15/03/2015 20:29 SAVE OUR MICK - Should the Trust call an EGM Report Message | Email Message To A Friend | Reply To Message Riddle.. Whatever you meant Mike, the inference was that I needed a break for the sake of my health. Nothing could be further from the truth, although I have to say that my PST life has been stressful since November. The 'wife comment' wasn't funny, despite the wink and Ann was also not amused by it! You are right, however, when you say no one should be getting stressed out on PST issues. It is very distressing for me that it should have come to this when there was absolutely no need. You had access to all the information leading to this and contributed to the discussion, so I am disappointed that you claim to not know why I resigned. the_riddle Posted on 16/03/2015 07:04 SAVE OUR MICK - Should the Trust call an EGM Report Message | Email Message To A Friend | Reply To Message How many times do I need to say this... My post does not say Mick was ill, it says I thought he could be making himself ill if he carried on the way he was going as the last time I saw Mick (outside Fratton after the Tranmere game) he looked f*cked off and stressed and it was not nice to see him like that. Mick, you even say yourself you were stressed by all this - so am I not making a fair observation? Likewise the 'wife' comment was a throwaway joke, based on nothing more than thinking your wife might not want you so stressed either. No malice was intended and I apologise if it was taken the wrong way. I'm gutted that a well intentioned post about how PST Board Members only do it as volunteers and shouldn't be so stressed by Pompey issues has been twisted by a few, when the original post is still there, clear as day, not saying what people 'think' it says. As for why Mick resigned, of course I know what the 'matter of principle' is about but I don't know why he felt so strongly that he had to resign over it as for me it is not a resignation issue. Again my posts on here actually say that if people read them. I've not spoken to Mick on the matter and certainly wouldn't speculate on his take on it. Can't believe I'm now being called a 'liar' by some and getting this reaction from a post that was in support of Mick and based on concern for his well being and is being twisted by some who want to read more into what I wrote. Btw - thanks Lor for your post, at least someone's read what I actually wrote and in the manner it was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems you're sending emails to the admin trying to get me banned like a yellow-bellied coward, and threatening legal action(yawn) unless they pass over personal information about me. Good luck with that. In the interests of reciprocity, I've been doing some digging on you. It appears you're totally skint, your Mrs has fuuuucked you off and won't speak to you and is in the process of rinsing you for the house and anything else of worth. You're unemployed and a load of former colleagues and friends want nothing to do with you. On top of that there's the issue of the missing 3k. So anyway, how's it all going mate?

rallyboy Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 This does look like a bit of a crisis for the property developing Trust. Financial shenanigans, accusations, chairman forced out, a resignation - next thing they'll be telling us our shares are worthless! Who'd have thought it possible in the new world of transparency, especially after they drove all of the crooks out of their club. At least Chanrai only helped himself to money, he didn't give his mates interest-free loans and abuse supporters as well. But a win tonight and all is well, nothing else matters is the motto that the former club owners adopted over the last decade - the Trust proudly continues following in the footsteps of the child-maimers, the pension-robbers, the money-launderers and the loan shark.

The Kraken Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 It's all going off on fansonline, it's hilarious (yet completely predictable) stuff. It now turns out that a trust board member (he posts on there as the riddle) instigated an altercation with a fellow fan at a recent game, regarding some online comments the fan was supposed to have made. This is he same the riddle who went onto their message boards and tried to claim that Mick Williams might have resigned due to ill health and because his wife made him (which he was then forced to backtrack on instantly when Williams showed up to contradict him). http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=581764 Some rather choice comments towards the riddle: Quite simply - by the trust rules - you should be thrown off the board and trust. But that's the crux of all issues at the trust at the moment - it's just a big old jolly - unprofessional, corrupt, exclusive, lawless and secretive. Not the community ethos sold to us. Here we go again. It is a level of professionalism that is missing. After all the criticism Riddle still can't just STFU and show a bit of professional self discipline, this time putting private emails up on a public message board. THIS ISN'T HOW WE WANT OUR ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS BEHAVING! Too arrogant to think that any expected levels of decency apply to him like some tin-pot Clarkson."

rallyboy Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 They are 4th in the league table on current form. Sadly the team that is top of that form guide is between them and the playoffs. And several that are in that top eight are also in the mix for the playoffs. If they replicated their impressive record of one defeat in ten it would not be enough to meet the points haul they need to make the playoffs. I'm thinking that perhaps the playoffs might be beyond them. And even if they did make them, their inability to put away very poor sides like Cheltenham would suggest they would not win them. Shame.

trousers Posted 17 March, 2015 Share Posted 17 March, 2015 Part of me thinks it would actually be more entertaining if they did sneak promotion this season as they surely won't be competitive in League 1 and could easily yo-yo back down again.

Watch Thread dfearnley dfearnley Joint most helpful poster Messages:11,563 I would like to offer a Without Prejudice apology to Micah for any perceived damage I may have caused to his character. Whilst I don't recall the details of what I have written and because the thread has been removed I can't read it, I can say that: 1) I have no reason to believe that Micah is a con man and has not been accused of dishonesty 2) I have no information on how he got his job at PFC and as such there is no evidence it was anything other than due to his skills and ability 3) Micah is his real name I wish Micah and his family all the best. Any comments I have made have been to try and protect the reputation of the PST and I've never wished to cause anyone any harm intentionally or otherwise. then :picard: To think I voted for you.
