Ken Tone Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Lampitt needs to learn that phrases like 'kids for a quid' can be misconstrued in Portsmouth !
OldNick Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Wouldn't have cost them a penny. This is a perfect freindly for Chelsea. There might be a russian connection, but last week, it was all systems go to be done and dusted this week..... 36 hours to go well you may be right but I know that we charged Bournemouth a large amount to play them in pre season a couple of years back.
pedg Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 well you may be right but I know that we charged Bournemouth a large amount to play them in pre season a couple of years back. Which possibly relates to the bit in the article that the ticket prices where 'under agreement with Chelsea' so possibly set high enough to cover what Chelsea are charging to go down there? If that's the case wonder how much of the gate money pompey will get?
Torres Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 It strikes me as unusual that Chelsea have named their squad for the friendly vs Poopey already but there it is, on their official website: Blues Squad for Pompey Friendly Announced Should be a great afternoon out.
pedg Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Can see it being a confusing home match for the blue few. Pompey will be playing in their new away kit which, one assumes, means Chelsea will be the team in blue.

Chelsea is arguably not a "really big club" at all, because it is no longer a club - iI's a tasteless plaything for a Russian oligarch (where did his endless oodles of loot come from?), throwing unlimited wads of cash round in order to buy success. It has lost its true roots. It has lost its soul. It's a Mickey Mouse operation. Please don't invite its playboy celebrities to swan around a real - if poverty-stricken - but still real ground like our Fratton Park. Withdraw the invitation. As soon as possible. Oh the irony

Crab Lungs Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Actually, like someone else said above very eloquently, it's getting irritating now. They should have been closed down a long time ago, but they're still up to their old tricks, flicking the v's to all and sundry. Their fans meanwhile continue to prove themselves the absolute morons we all know them to be as well, completely oblivious to the difference of fact and whatever comes out of their own mouths..

I don't know, there is a certain phrase that included the term 'best served cold'....
Spudders Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Actually, like someone else said above very eloquently, it's getting irritating now. Agreed. A year or so ago I was in the 'I don't want them to go totally out of business' camp, but now I feel they should just be put out of their misery. Whilst some of the individual stories coming out of the club are funny for us to laugh at, as a whole the overall situation and the way they have carried on (and continue to) is disgusting.
sidthesquid Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 I don't know, there is a certain phrase that included the term 'best served cold'.... Is that fish-pie?

This is easily the best thread on this forum,I would really miss them if they were wound up plus I know some decent skates who don't deserve all this crap.

This is easily the best thread on this forum,I would really miss them if they were wound up plus I know some decent skates who don't deserve all this crap. Ah, as this often mimics a Stephen King horror novel, welcome Dear Constant Reader. An interesting question for those of you who have a more general interest in Football, fans and their forums. Is there actually any other thread on any other fans forum that has managed to stay on track and bring so much entertainment knowledge and information about one team's rivals? I ask that because as we move inexorably towards the 40,000th post it may just be time that the Football League Show, HMRC's legal team, Matt Slater, heck even Jordan (hope you're having a nice holiday you Twit, sorry Tweet) Sibley or MOST possibly, The Guinness Book of Records must be notified. It is time we stood up and received our awards and the few - no, OTH is right, it's far too early for the pain to stop for them up the road, there has to be so much more to come.
Crab Lungs Posted 26 May, 2011 Posted 26 May, 2011 Hang on! This is easily the best thread on this forum,I would really miss them if they were wound up plus I know some decent skates who don't deserve all this crap. There might be some mileage in seeing AFC Pompey lose 2-0 to Mangotsfield though!

Is there actually any other thread on any other fans forum that has managed to stay on track and bring so much entertainment knowledge and information about one team's rivals? There's nothing like this on any Swansea or Cardiff board. There are some quite smart people on those boards but they are vastly outnumbered by look-at-me idiots who start new threads on exactly the same topics over and over again. I think this thread is absolutely extraordinary and I am happy to pay £5 a year to read it even though I don't have to.
LGTL Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Had the radio on this morning and second in the news headlines started with "Portsmouth has been taken over......." but then went on to talk about some naval rubbish. The heart skipped a beat just for a moment!
rallyboy Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 it's gone very quiet on the Russians.......are they quietly fine-tuning their bid, or have they left the building and season tickets still need selling? They must be waiting for Barcelona's season to finish before they can start recruitment. Despite their motives and lack of funding I guess the Russians must be the last chance for a sale this summer, if they pull out Chanrai has nowhere to go - bearing that in mind, it might be worth him negotiating with them rather than making excessive demands....but I'm sure he knows what's best for the bestest.
Saint Keith Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 is it wages day again today? or Tuesday? either way, thats most, if not all, the season ticket money gone
Gemmel Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 I could have sworn that this week was the week it was all going to close with the takeover. Oh well, as pointed out above wages Tuesday - I'm sure chinny won't mind stumping up again. I wonder what Norris's signing on fee is.
Spudders Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 it's gone very quiet on the Russians.......are they quietly fine-tuning their bid, or have they left the building and season tickets still need selling? Maybe they have been busy counting their money
Sevvy Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/497171136?-11209 He's not a happy bunny, still thats one that has got away and the more it drags on the worse it is going to get
HK_Phoey Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Love the quote ‘I’m not naming him, that wouldn’t be right, but he would have been a good signing and would have come straight into our team." That doesnt take much working out when you only have 8 players
LGTL Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 "We were very close to a deal a few weeks ago. There was a difference in our finances but we could have come to an agreement. We weren’t that far away – 100 per cent he could have been ours." Of course he could have Steve. Bless him.
Crab Lungs Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 They're so brave, and poor, simple Steve epitomises that never-say-die attitude. Such a "football city", such hardy, passionate folk, they really have been dealt a cruel hand by fate. STFU The News. I'm tempted to go buy a copy, just so I have some toilet paper for later on.

I think this thread is absolutely extraordinary and I am happy to pay £5 a year to read it even though I don't have to. Personally I think every potential new subscriber to the forum should be made to read all 40,000 or so posts, then answer test questions, before they are allowed to sign up.
JackFrost Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 So the situation that seems to be encroaching is either, if there is no buy out over the summer Chainrai has got to dip into his pocket or Pompey won't be able to fulfill their fixtures. Or the takeover talk is just a load of PR to sell more season tickets, and as soon as squad registration comes along they'll play the same sob story to the FL and then go and sign a load of PL rejects on £20k a week, all in loans from Chainrai who is willing to fund it all yet again? . . . .
Ken Tone Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 I could have sworn that this week was the week it was all going to close with the takeover. Oh well, as pointed out above wages Tuesday - I'm sure chinny won't mind stumping up again. I wonder what Norris's signing on fee is. No, it was last week that it was all going through ... no the week before ...no..... What I find so mind-boggling is that they appear to be seriously planning to try to sign players like Norris, who will only come to them if he is paid a pretty hefty wage. How/why are they STILL expecting to pay out at a level above their income?
Gemmel Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 ‘We were very close to a deal a few weeks ago. There was a difference in our finances but we could have come to an agreement. ‘We weren’t that far away – 100 per cent he could have been ours. Still competing with Premiership wages...... Bizarre
Crab Lungs Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 Still competing with Premiership wages...... Bizarre And irritating now!
Jimmy_D Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 'would have come straight into the team.' They have 8 players! (Or is it 9, Ben Haim?) They could offer the kit man a contract at the moment and he'd walk straight into the team!
OldNick Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 It seems to me that Pompey are like the moonlighting tradesman, the taxman and authorities seem to be oblivious to their actions. They must be offering big wages to get the squad together. I assume the Russians have given them the nod to chase up these players and get them ready to sign.
aintforever Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 I'm starting to get really cheesed off with all this "we can't sign players until we have new owners" bullsh!t. They are supposed to be running a sustainable business model. That means their wage bill should depend on their income, the name of the owners shouldn't have anything to do with it.
FloridaMarlin Posted 27 May, 2011 Posted 27 May, 2011 It seems to me that Pompey are like the moonlighting tradesman, the taxman and authorities seem to be oblivious to their actions. They must be offering big wages to get the squad together. I assume the Russians have given them the nod to chase up these players and get them ready to sign. But the fact that they have not, or been able to get the players' signatures hints they are either not confident the Russians will take over, or know for sure that they won't.
