before the match i posted that this match would be a good test of AT's management skills, It would test if he could get consistency from his players, it would test if he could react and change games, it would test his motivational skills. I know plenty of folk will say that he hasnt got the raw...

on the other side of this the last caller talked a fair bit of sense

Didnt go so dont feel i should really comment on the performance based on radio commentary. But I have two questions based on what Ian Wallace said on the radio 1) early in the first half (10 mins) he said the midfield were playing too deep and giving the front two little support because of it...

How about a reference centre or library. Putting things like links to FL rules, FA rules, Copies of Financial reports, Details of FFP, MPs reports on football, referees briefing, FIFA updates etc that sort of stuff. Bit boring I know but might help folk understand the hows and whys maybe ?

Yes I agree that both clubs in fact all clubs reach too high for what they can actually afford - thats going to have to change, if the FA /FL/PL ever grow some balls Think there is a difference though - Pompey had assets to sell (players) and they refused to..... SISU have taken action to...

Seriously deluded if they think that will happen ! Bet he wasnt questionning anything when Antonov took over was he. Ridiculous:facepalm:

Seems to me that there are a few at that club that dont like to take responsibility for their own actions - the owners, who have responsibility to ensure the club is ran as a going concern - the likes of Chanrai who helped create the original mess but safeguarded all their own money - the...

I think the 10 points is automatic - the delay is because the FL have to provide notice of the deduction to Pompey in writing. Would guess that also gives written notice of player registration embargo

our first team squad named 31 players 4 goal keepers 8 out injured 6 academy players with very little or no first team play 3 players out on loan I make that a max of 10 senior outfield players but only if you class Christie Norwood & Nimely as senior Do one Mr Appleton (get the...

welcome to the real world Mr Appleton. Looks like you may have to use some of the young lads and give them a chance. I have absolutely no sympathy for you at all. As for calling games off because you maybe dont have 11 fit senior players available - ridiculous :facepalm: we wouldnt have...

was tempted to BSB yes but thought those three were the must win ones because it keeps us firmly ahead of them -

If I were the judge sitting or at the FL I would be asking why all Pompeys financial plans are centered on the PL parachute money but they have done no where near enough in cutting costs (players wages in particular). Clearly they believe from the managers comments it is ok to pay out wages they...

Think FL rules say its 10 points. Previous deduction under PL rules so not taken into account. However if the FL choose to investigate and find significant wrong doings that may increase points deduction. The findings would have to be before 22/03 to be impose additional points deduction this...

Key games CCFC - tempted to say must wins 18/02 Forest away 24/03 Pompey Home 21/04 Donny home And match the results generally of those 3

A win makes a significant difference because taking into account the respective goal differences then Forest matching our results would still keep them below us even if they win their game in hand. If Donny lose saturday aswell that will mean they will need to win both their games in hand to...

Agreed Otis, would seem lady luck smiled on us in those games first 20 minutes - we cannot rely on that though. Need to be at it from the first to the last minute. Tell you one thing Nimely & Norwood have brought to the team - a winning mentality, they both have been schooled at teams that...

thats the key bit isnt it ............ Nimely said after the match he nearly didnt make the Leeds game because of ankle & knee problems, and was hobbling badly after it. Had he missed that game then would we have won it ? academic I know. But it makes the point as to how fine the margins are...

With confidence and belief in winning fragile all games are going to be tough..... like they say there are no easy games. This is not a AT in or out comment or a crticism etc ........... I think this sort of game is a decent test of AT, to see if he can motivate and focus his players, to see...

Dont think we can afford to lose this match - an average of 4 points in every 2 games sees us comfortable. However this is definitely one match where I think everyone at the club would be disappointed with anything less than a win. This has to be one they target 3 points from. We might have...

Dont see how anyone can argue with AT's logic on this one. Correct decision imo
