Micky Posted 9 August, 2011 Share Posted 9 August, 2011 2 bookings for Ward and Halford already. If they really are not going to add to their threadbare squad then this will be their undoing. It's all very well going into a long league season with a small squad, but the very first prerequisite would be to instil and maintain discipline. They cannot afford cheap bookings and Cotterill needs to stamp his mark about it onto the players. Currently they can barely populate the bench with a full compliment, keep going at this rate and they could even fail to populate the pitch...!

saintjay77 Posted 10 August, 2011 Share Posted 10 August, 2011 yeah Gemmel - they paid off the outstanding cancer charity with a full public apology and confirmed that the small creditors had all been paid in full as well. They are now starting the CVA next month at 50p in the £ to clear the debt as quickly as possible, and the Russians have confirmed that Cotterill will have to make do with younger players or frees that will fit into a £8K a week wagecap, as the last thing they want to do is trade insolvently. They also apologised for the misleading financial statements that have been presented to courts over the last two years, just before returning the fa cup that had been illegally obtained through deception and financial irregularity - the fa accepted their apology and scrubbed their name from the records. Lampitt admitted that he was only in there to protect the image of the football authorities and confessed that he felt out of his depth, the team also went on a sponsored and incident-free trip to the States that really helped their preparation for the new season. They beat Real Betis 4-3 in front of a packed Fratton Park before overcoming the mighty Boro on the opening day in front of 1,200 travelling fans, the goals coming from £6K a week Ben Haim and £4K a week and totally uninjured Lawrence. The club also intend to finance the ward at QA that had to be closed when the taxpayer was robbed. Other than that it's been pretty quiet. Oh, and the few pretended they hadn't seen us destroy Leeds on the telly, though several of them look pale and anxious at the thought of the rematch. If Carlsberg did Pompey........

Hell, we had to fill the majority of out starting 11 with youth when we were in the sh1t They were aloud 7 subs last night and they named 4. No sign of any youth but dont think they actually have a youth squad right now. Maybe a few youth players though. Im sure they used some youth in the pre-season so it seems strange that they dont at least give them a place on the bench in these times. Every other manager is questioning the reduced subs for league matches as it makes it harder to bring youth through to the 1st team. Pompey have a golden opertunity to get one step ahead of the rest of the league on that count but choose not to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember reading it last night but didnt pay that much attention. I do hope someone at the FA/FL is taking notice of how many people they actually have on their books so they can flick the V's at them when they cry about not having enough players to fill the bench.

dubai_phil Posted 10 August, 2011 Share Posted 10 August, 2011 So, basically, yet again the great poopey plan is to steal from others.. Oh not in the same way as before. But it amounts to the same thing. They don't get in enough players to make a squad so what is the plan? Simples, go and beg some PL clubs and get players in "'cos we're poor old hard done by poopey innit" "please pay all their wages and please don't charge us any fees, we'll just give them lots of game time so that you can have them back in January or whenever in case you get short. Pathetic, and may not work this time round if old "arry" has to take a late unplanned summer vacation. Everyone else tries to play by the rules, the fish just have become so ingrained they know they can bend them. Still at least the Refs have started to make them try and keep in the rules.

Hell, even a Goldfish could work out you have to do something with the squad (maybe why your message boards are questioning the kids & the bench issue). What happens in the next 19 days will show everyone what the new owners really have in store for you. Their pronouncements to date haven't exactly been deafening. My thoughts on your start. Only a total idiot would not at least allow one or two of the kids to sit on the bench to see what happens during a game even IF they had no intention of bringing them onto the pitch. It's called learning. (doh silly me - poopey & learning what was I thinking) 32 quid a ticket - indicates what the owners may be after So now we wait for the Intent. Loans again or actually start to build a squad. Jury's out ATM, I know a couple of my skate mates are almost as twitchy as old 'arry about things. Guess it's back to tick tock.
