St Marco Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 awww he is having a paddy :-) http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_5971291,00.html If he was confident the club was about to be taken over would he come out and bash people or wait until it is done then basque in the glory? He is obviously feeling the pressure, nobody is believing his words anymore, the media are having a field day with him. So for trying to make it out he has done a good job he deserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertySFC Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 He may know about middle east business etiquette - how would that help him know what's going on in a deal with south africans and someone based in hong kong? My friend at the club has had nothing to do with the negotiations between this latest group and the club and isn't there today so unfortunately no details available. What day does the cleaner work then... ??? This deal has been sprouted about all week ..Lets just face the facts here nobody wants PFc and they can't even give it away ....mind you 10% of a POUND is not the biggest give away is it ????

Ho, I will try and be courteous because I can understand your desperation as I went through the same rollercoaster a year ago. Phil does have some very good contacts and his info is not just about ettiquette. In fact he has been spot on. As much as we have had our moments I feel for the decent Pompey fans and i will be happy if you as a club have some pain and below us but the Storries of this world get a much worse punishment.

ooh it's a corner Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 as the end appears to draw closer, I was wondering if we should have a collective effort at getting Peter Storrie a Queen's honour. Along the lines of services to the local community (ours as opposed to theirs, but who cares?) Peter Storrie, OBE, services to (one team in) Hampshire football? Afterall, our blue friends gave the freedom of Portsmouth to Mr Redknapp, it would only seem fitting to me.

Fratton Park The current stadium site will be transformed into a huge housing and shopping development. About 200 low-rise homes at a maximum of four storeys high will be built where the pitch and terraces are currently. These are expected to meet the club's affordable housing requirement. The car park near the Pompey Centre is earmarked for retail development, although the club has said this will be in keeping with the area and not high-street fashion stores. The club plans to keep Victorian parts of the stands and incorporate them in the new development of family homes. It will also keep part of the Fratton park pitch for use as a children's play area. Sellar's development director Barry Ostle said: 'We have never been interested in developing high-rise blocks of flats that seem to pop up on every corner of Portsmouth.'

He'd prefer this 'version' of PFC to go to the wall, if only to see Storrie et al get their just desserts. On W******d - 'haven't met any Pompey fans who like him, apart from the young ones who follow him' We always have good humoured banter, he didn't slaughter me last year so I won't start now. It's just the moany,whiny,hoity toity, namby pamby, wishee washee, fishy ones I can't stand..... oh its the Premier League's fault.... No. Blame Storrie if anyone. HE RAN THE SHOW. END OF.

Jimmy Gabriel's Halo Posted 22 February, 2010 Share Posted 22 February, 2010 I think Storrie's line was blown wide open this morning on 5Live sports reports where he was quoted as saying he was "hopeful" of the deal being done later today. For Chr*st's sake, what is this bloke on ? You're "hopeful" when the postman calls and there might be a few cards on your birthday. You're "hopeful" that the wife won't have a headache tonight and you might get your leg over. You're "hopeful" that the overhyped film you're going to see is actually any good. You're "hopeful" that you might win a tenner on the lottery on Saturday. You're "hopeful" that your train to work won't be delayed - again. And so on and so on. HOPEFUL ? BL**DY HOPEFUL !!!!???? This is a multi million pound deal we're talking about here with far reaching consequences if it doesn't come off. And Storrie is "hopeful".
