that's the problem isn't it, anyone who has actually banged in anywhere near 20 goals a season at around the level of League 1 will cost more than we can afford so you're always going to be taking a punt on someone and hoping a change of club will kickstart their scoring. The last time we...

I would like to think we can push for a promotion place. Very important to get a good start so we don't let heads drop and have everyone thinking 'here we go again'. What could be key this season is what happens in the January window. If we're doing well and pushing for promotion there's a good...

I'd be happy with a draw but hope we play for a win as it never goes well when we sit back. Interesting comment from Thorn in the fans forum about having to try and get through matches without losing last year with the squad he had and that this year they will be going out to win.

just listened to it now, all sounds positive. lets's hope it's still that way after tomorrows game! be interesting to see what happens in January if we are in a position then to mount a promotion push. Will SISU open the wallet to strengthen or will they ship a couple out to pay the bills?

this is going to be a long one but can someone who's better with finance than me look at these figures and tell me if there's any chance of it adding up: £8m - The agreements to former players to cancel their contracts, the trust are now saying these are valid and they will only pay £2m on the...

the points deduction was only ever due to be applied when they came out of admin (that's a technicallity) but since the league confirmed that at their meeting yesterday everyone seems to be taking it as a sign it will never be applied. the arguement from the administrator is that the previous...

these aren't players they've picked up today they are players they've had training with them in pre-season. some of these players have ended up there as their old clubs couldn't match the wages pompey were offering (they're all due to sign permanently when the league allow it). just 48 hours...

Unbelivable, this is what the local papers Pompey reporter has this morning Can someone explain to me how they can sign 10 players when they're under an embargo, how they're going to pay them when they are effectivly bust and why the league are allowing this???

thats why i would think the league would want to sort it tomorrow at their meeting. much easy to throw them out now when they haven't played a league match yet than the mess they could end up in later in the season. doing some digging on the money front it seems they have £1m from 'major...

it's difficult to know what's going on with the supporters trust, a lot of people are asking them to show their business plan and budget yet they continually refuse, you have to pay £100 upfront on the promise that at some point they will show you their plans. hardly inspires confidence and...

I think it's a bit too early to be worried. The midfield in particular is missing a few players through injury and at the end of the day we've won away from home which hasn't happened too often and we're through to the second round of the cup which again hasn't happened too often. Think the...

I think it's in his best interest for the club to get liquidated with his charge over the ground. The council have said the land can't be used for anything other than a football ground but if the club ceases to exist that surely can't be enforced. Apparently Chanrai and one of the previous...

technically they go back to the PL and get distributed between the member clubs I think. In practice I can see the PFA moving in and arrangements made to use that money to pay outstanding player wages. laughably Appleton and the local news reporter are both saying they are expecting the league...

what's the rest of the draw? there's going to be at least a couple of live games I would guess so we could be in with a shout of being on TV. Good for those of use that live miles away and could do without another midweek trip but not so good for attendance.

not quite constructive dismissal, they still have a contract and will still be paid by the club on the terms of that contract unless there's more info that we haven't been given. if we take this at face value and it is correct that for performing well they will be paid more you would query why...

Never thought I'd say this but I think I agree with Fisher and SISU on this, how can it be justified to pay out £1million in bonuses when we can't win a game and get relegated. That said it was under SISUs watch that all these contracts got given out. It looks like someone (Orange Ken?) didn't...

given the way we budget I would have assumed common sense would mean wages but everyone down here is talking about Appletons 'war chest' and how much certain players will cost in transfer fees. they're not even out of this administration and they're already planning to overspend again.

i'd rather not have any but if we must have something then either the sky blue song or twist and shout rather than some random rubbish

at what point do the FL pull the plug? they've got a cup match Tuesday and their first league match Sunday and at the moment they have 2 registered players according to their website. they're still in admin and under an embargo the trust bid seems to lack the funds to get off the starting line...

You would assume this was covered by the terms of the contract. I can imagine CCFC get first say on dates as the main tenant. Think they would have a case for getting a rent reduction over the Olympic period due to the disruption if they were up to date with the rent but as we all know they...
