saintjay77 Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 Apart from Mack and Mero are there any other decent skates? I have to give some acknowledgment to that pfc fella as his recent visits have been much more humble and accepting of the recent situatation. Only showing up when all appears to be well squashes any positive feeling though as it comes accross like he is here to gloat. Hasnt seemed to work out too well for him so far though. lol
Dark Munster Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 Meeting Corpy face to face would be just too much for many I fear - not least Corpy himself. On the subject of Avram Grant, his name is an anagram of Vagrant Ram. This may not be relevant, but it seems fitting somehow. Funny you should mention that, Vladimir Antonov is the anagram of Invalid V.A.T. moron. Some hidden meaning, maybe?
Dark Munster Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 Norris was a done deal, and that was before Cotterill had this massive transfer warchest to build his promotion team with. Or perhaps there's a new problem... Players regarded pompey as a poor club that would outbid anyone. Now they have rich new owners, they can pay even more! A bit like us when everyone thought we had Chamberlain money burning a hole in our pockets and upped prices for any potential signings. pompey gave out long £20K a week contracts when they were trading insolvently, so no decent player will want to come for less now they are rich. Someone cynical would say that all this transfer talk is a just a ploy to sell some season tickets to the gullible few, before the shit hits the fan.
The Cat Posted 9 June, 2011 Posted 9 June, 2011 Spoke to one of the few earlier this evening. He was very excited about their new owners and told me that it was no problem that they only had 8 squad members because "these new blokes have loads of money and will buy us some good players." I tried to explain to him that this wasn't the case but he couldn't have taken any less notice of what I was saying if he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "lalalalalala, I can't hear you." He then started going on about the 4-1 cup game at which point I gave up trying to have a conversation with him and walked off. Mind you The News seem to think the Norris transfer is a "done deal" and that Brian Howard has "issued a come-and-get-me plea" to the club. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/cotterill_gets_set_for_owner_talks_1_2755507 So maybe soon they'll only be 1 player away from fielding a full 11. Hmm.

Hmm. Lmao, such a typical interaction with a Skate. Absolutely remorseless and completely oblivious to any financial commitments they have or people they've screwed in the past. Anyway, from that article: Reading’s Brian Howard has issued a come-and-get-me-plea to Cotterill. The highly sought-after midfielder is to get away from the Madejski after finding first-team football opportunities increasingly difficult to come by. However, it is understood there are players above him in Cotterill’s wish list I love it how they're now getting picky since the takeover.
rallyboy Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 well here is my confession - no joke, this is for real! I recently stumbled across John W******d.... I thought it only polite to mention the subject of football - he wasn'ty too worried about my roots, he said he knows loads of scummers. Rather refreshingly I got more sense out of him that your average pompey supporter. No excitement about new owners, big spending sprees or any of that gloating denial rubbish. He just wants to watch pompey, and he doesn't care what division they are in. We also agreed that life outside of the top flight for both clubs hasn't been the end of the world (!). So when I next meet a dim skate who starts on about new stadiums, 4-1 etc, I can honestly say that I've heard more sense from a CWAB who wears clown shoes and a big hat.
Gemmel Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Any news on the court case. Adjourned for sentancing is what I'd like to see
JackFrost Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 BBC news ticker says "Football League says its clubs have agreed in principle to adopt Uefa's financial fair play system" Expect Pompey to make up the figures as they go along and carry on as normal.
saintjay77 Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Any news on the court case. Adjourned for sentancing is what I'd like to see I was looking on thelawpages yesterday and couldn't find the case. Maybe it's over or maybe just adjourned till a later date? Might message BBC_Matt to see if he knows anything?
saintjay77 Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 It's back on again today in Court 7 Ah that explains BBC_Matt saying they are still not able to report on it till it's over
sidthesquid Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 I love this line in Pompey Pravda about Nugent going to Leicester - Eriksson has been linked with a host of top-line strikers as he looks to buy his way into the Premier League.!!!!! They just don't get irony on Portsea Island, do they? Interesting also that the big-spending new owners can't keep one of their 'own'. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/blues_star_man_poised_for_exit_1_2757263

Barnsley have turned down bids of £700,000 for him, and he is available to any club prepared to meet the £1m asking price. Where are p****y getting £1m from to sign players? If i was a creditor, I would certainly want to know how they can find £1m for a player, but not pay the measly 20p in the pound that I am owed. Absolutely no morals or conscience whatsoever. You would like to think they are first on the FL's hit list of clubs who should be living within their means.

Highfield Saint Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Slight diversion but smiled talking to a computer boy today. Apparently PUP means Potentially Unwanted Programme (edit to suit)
Pedro Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 The Sun says Kanu retiring so soon be down to about 6 players, 5 aside and a sub.
Joey-deacons-left-nut Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 ****ing 'ell... The posts on the dodgy ruskie loan sharks Facebook page are utterly vomit inducing.... I've never seen so much fawning and arse licking in one place...
rallyboy Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 had me worried there for a mo - thankfully Kanu has denied these retirement rumours so his ridiculously inflated contract will continue to cripple their wagebill for another two years, until he's 50.

rallyboy Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Mack, you're sounding all depressed old fella - cheer up, you have rich new owners, a magnificent manager who performed miracles last season even though every ref had it in for him, and the Russians are about to go on a massive spending spree that will make Redknapp look like a spendthrift - things are looking up! And don't forget, Saints are in deep financial trouble, losing money every week, we don't own our stadium and we are heading back into administration any day soon. What more could you want from life?....

At least when we were down and feeling sorry for ourselves we could consle ouselves with the knowledge that we had our world class catering and the leading radio station on the south coast.

rallyboy Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 nice one Mack - 'Welcome to Portsmouth - the city of quality matchday programmes' - that should be on a banner across the M275. On a completely random note, I've seen Arsenal and Chelsea hospitality tickets printed locally as well, presumably so a London company didn't produce twice the required amount.

S-Clarke Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 It's fantastic. These new guys are clowns, they report news via their personal facebook and twitter accounts. When do ''proper'' owners do that? TBF i'm not surprised, only dodgy people and madmen would have bought them out.
