Crab Lungs Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 In another flick of the V's to the people they owe - as well as a thinly-veiled insult to remaining free transfer players, Pompey's moronic manager Steve Cotterill tells the world that he'll be spending - not shuffling around the bargain basement for free transfers - to complete his squad for another campaign of "quality over quantity". http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/great-matches/cotterill_rules_out_any_more_frees_1_2849162 And in other news, the few are getting excited: The way things are shaping up I'll be disappointed if we don't finish top half this season and in the top six next season, that's the minimum I'm hoping for. Oh, and obviously a good 6 points from THEM! Btw - The News have reported that Henderson was both a free transfer AND a paid transfer... Pompey getting their financial wiring crossed, surely not?

rallyboy Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 60%? - tis true, I've taken this thread under my wing as a comedy rant outlet. I also waste enough of my life on here without investing a fiver. I tend to find I get more sense on this thread than the main forum so I get less involved in the mundane 'is car parking too pricey?' and 'what beer is Cortese ordering?' sort of issues.

Dark Munster Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 not as much as rallyboy, he's posted 820 times on this thread which is 60% of his total forum posts! As for total amount of posts on this thread I believe OldNick leads the way with 1366 posts! Only him, Dubai-Phil and pedg are above the 1000 mark so far How do you find those stats?

Of course they have a wage structure, if a player is willing to accept less then 15k a week they obviously have no ambition and will not fit in.

rallyboy Posted 10 July, 2011 Share Posted 10 July, 2011 The line from The News that tells me that the lunatic experiment 'quality over quantity' is set to continue - For Cotterill, a squad of 20 remains the target. Why don't they just get some lower league players in as squad players and then we can avoid all the moaning when it all goes pear-shaped and they pretend they have no subs? You might fool the few and the league, but you ain't fooling us Mr C. You've taken the decision to pile all your budget into a handful of players, we all know what will happen. Last season you got away without too many injuries, your luck will run out - don't go bleating when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporate Ho Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 As for the concept of "transfer gossip" posts, I didn't see you make too many of those. All of your posts about signing Saviola and Al0-Fahim being ten times richer than Abramovich came from "your contact" Maybe we can finally get you girls to accept what the now infamous transfer gossip posts were about. here's a link to a post I made in 2008 (that's three years ago for those of you who can't count) and even then I was trying to get dear old Nick Nack to understand what the posts were about: Look Nick Nack/ Mavis, if you're so dumb that you can't understand that the "gossip" (look up the meaning of the word) is lifted from the papers and websites rather than me claiming that all those players would be arriving at PFC then I feel sorry for you. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?4319-Pompey-Finances-are-boring!&p=97134&highlight=transfer+gossip#post97134 Now tell me again that's not what I meant.

PMSL For over three years I've explained time and time again what the posts were about. If I was trying to brag I'd have done that when we actually signed a big name player like when we were signing Defoe, Crouch etc. Go back through the board and find one instance of me bragging when we signed any of that type of player.

I think if you're talking about anti delusion counselling you might be a prime example. Just how many conspiracy theories have you personally posted on here. It's Arkadi one week, it's Chainrai the next. Then it's the two of them. then CSI owe Gaydamak. No they owe Chainrai. Which one is it this week? Could someone just actually confirm WHICH conspiracy theory this board is adhering to this week so we know just where the greatest investigative minds on the web stand on the matter. Is it: 1. Gaydamak is running the show through CSI 2. Chainrai's still running things through CSI 3. CSI are running the show to launder money through a club with more focus from the authorities than anyone else 4. Gaydamak and Chainrai are running things as a partnership. Also, is Lampitt still a FL plant (proposed many times) and if so, where does he fit in with CSI/ whoever laundering money through the club?

If I was trying to brag I'd have done that when we actually signed a big name player like when we were signing Defoe, Crouch etc. Go back through the board and find one instance of me bragging when we signed any of that type of player. Ho Ho Ho, you aren't clever, as clever people don't try to look clever. I will confirm that on this thread there are no such brags from yourself, as this only started when gun runner junior pulled the plug and you could no longer sign England internationals, despite the best fans in the world tm.

Gingeletiss Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Could someone just actually confirm WHICH conspiracy theory this board is adhering to this week so we know just where the greatest investigative minds on the web stand on the matter. Is it: 1. Gaydamak is running the show through CSI 2. Chainrai's still running things through CSI 3. CSI are running the show to launder money through a club with more focus from the authorities than anyone else 4. Gaydamak and Chainrai are running things as a partnership. I'm working on 5. Gaydamak is running everything, and has been since day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFrost Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 (edited) Maybe we can finally get you girls to accept what the now infamous transfer gossip posts were about. here's a link to a post I made in 2008 (that's three years ago for those of you who can't count) and even then I was trying to get dear old Nick Nack to understand what the posts were about: Look Nick Nack/ Mavis, if you're so dumb that you can't understand that the "gossip" (look up the meaning of the word) is lifted from the papers and websites rather than me claiming that all those players would be arriving at PFC then I feel sorry for you. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?4319-Pompey-Finances-are-boring!&p=97134&highlight=transfer+gossip#post97134 Now tell me again that's not what I meant. But it wasn't airy fairy "gossip" you were putting forward, it was what you claimed your inside source was telling you. You were trying to convince us you were ITK with all these stories just to crow, then when it all turns out to be absolutely laughable ********, all of a sudden "it's just gossip". At least tommac did it in such a convincing way on the main board, a significant number of posters on here were taken in by him when he said we were signing Henrik Larsson.

Corporate Ho Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Ho Ho Ho, you aren't clever, as clever people don't try to look clever. I will confirm that on this thread there are no such brags from yourself, as this only started when gun runner junior pulled the plug and you could no longer sign England internationals, despite the best fans in the world tm. But go back through other threads on the forum and try and find one from me bragging about siging players. In fact, the quote I posted a link pre - dated this thread and was posted when Gaydamak was still in charge. There was life before this thread - although given how many of you have been proven to post more on here about Pompey than you do about your own team I know many of you will find that hard to believe. It's quite clear now from his perfectly constructed re-writing of history by focusing only on one small snippet of information and ignoring the other 475,652 snippets. I know where Corpy used to work. Clearly he is a former NOWT executive Phil, are you still maintaining that Antonov's estimated wealth is at least partly based on the EIB loan to SAAB? But it wasn't airy fairy "gossip" you were putting forward, it was what you claimed your inside source was telling you. You were trying to convince us you were ITK with all these stories just to crow, then when it all turns out to be absolutely laughable ********, all of a sudden "it's just gossip". Sorry Jack, I assumed you could read properly. I posted a link and a quote from me that dates from the time Gaydamak was in charge that specifically says it was just rumours culled from the media, not anything to do with being ITK. And from the tone of it it's clear that I'd repeated the same thing many times before. On the subject of me being ITK, here's the original post I made about knowing someone at Pompey. Do I claim to be ITK about anything in it? The clue is in the first 6 words I've never claimed to be ITK but I do know someone high up at Pompey who we see socially every couple of weeks or so. I don't get told everything but I do get various pieces of info dropped. Some of these don't happen because, shock horror, things change in football like they do in any business. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=454328&highlight=socially#post454328 Isn't it about time you all faced up to the fact I wasn't claiming all these players would be joining Pompey and bragging about it? Having said that, I continually post links proving I either didn't say what you claim or that some of the things you've said I was wrong about actually were close to happening (the SA group's takeover for one) and you still won't have it.

dubai_phil Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Corpy Phil, are you still maintaining that Antonov's estimated wealth is at least partly based on the EIB loan to SAAB? No, I have never said that, it would be libellous. In fact your post may be libellous as well. I have always advised the readers that the group owned by Antonov have a long track record in sport in Russia & The Baltics. In fact I pointed out that when Bompey rejected their bid last year, they used that budget to invest in the sponsorship of an F1 Race Team. All I have ever said is that the Net Wealth statement is co-incidentally close to the loan figure. 400 mil Euros 350 mil pounds. Why don't you ask your close contact at the club for a copy of the CSI Corporate Powerpoint Presentation so that you can see the information for yourself?

Dark Munster Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Well I see the Cheats have finally confirmed buying Halford. £500,000 is the rumour. No problem with the funding, just take the fee (and his wages) out of the CVA kitty. Wolves fans not too sad to see him go. http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=61506 I reckon we'll be glad to shift him off the wage bill. Mind you who the hell wanted to buy him in the first place? Shocking player. Good riddance. Cannot believe Mccarthy ever played him in right midfield. Agreed but lets not shout this from the roof tops incase pompey change their mind. He has got a decent throw and ........... Either way he was a poor buy for us at £2M. I have read that we will be getting only £500,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent for us last season predominantly at centre back when we had a record equaling clean sheet run and at right back, the boy also scored 5 goals for us.

The selling club's fans will, 99 times out of 100, shout about how awful the player leaving is, worst buy ever, waste of money, etc etc. Whilst the buying club will be raving about how good their new signing is, just a little misunderstood perhaps, but they'll set him on the right tracks again.

You can say what you like but we know you werer bigging it up and believed a lot of your links to players. As you now are back again, can we assume your mum or wife have now allowed you to have a computer back and can use it as long as you eat your tea. You are so easy to easy to assess.

Some seem to get it and some dont. There are a few there that still seem to think TBH owes them and he is a money grabber. That may be the case for signing up to a lucrative contract that was offered but he cant be at fault for expecting his wages to be paid. nor can he be at fault for the club not allowing him to play. Still, it is no doubt a nice addition to the wage fund for the blue few. If CSI are using the 400 mil loan to fund this venture the fun will start again when its time to start paying that back. A good chunk of it will be going toward filling the squad up with quality over quantity (or high wages on players others dont want) and a bit more will at some point go towards paying the CVA (wonder if that is something they are considering or not??) All they will need then is to over fill their shed for both home and away games to make it look like they are living within their means and everything will be hunky dory.
