    Portsmouth- what on earth

    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...

    Worried

    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...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    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...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    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...

    Capital One Cup Draw. 12:30 15/08/12

    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.

    Coventry avoid squad crisis....

    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...

    Coventry avoid squad crisis....

    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...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    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.

    Goal music

    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

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    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...

    Rent

    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...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Wouldn't be so sure, they have pretty much a full squad in training they just can't formalise the signings till the CVA goes through, for which the deadline was Friday. Once that goes through expect to see a lot of signings very quickly and worrying they have players training with them who have...

    Sky blue special

    think the biggest problem these days would be that different companies operate on different parts of the network but it's definitely something that would be worth the club looking into even if it wasn't for every match.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Unbelievably the local council has agreed to loan the supporters trust nearly £1.5m of taxpayers money, not happy at all that my council tax is going to be covering their overspending.

    sounds like husseys gone then...

    if he posted it this morning he could just mean the rest of the team have gone to Port Vale.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    I can't work out how it is in any way acceptable to have a former owner be the person being lined up to take control again. Surely anyone who has had a hand in this mess shouldn't be let anywhere near the club? The council are due to have a meeting on Thursday to decide if they're going to lend...

    Sky Blue Player

    the footage is normally from the cameras from the FL show, not sure if it's done in house and then given to the BBC or the BBC do all the filming and give it to the club to use. I think for pre season they've got the website guy doing what he can so it's more a case of have this footage or none...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    latest is that the council are considering loaning the supporters trust a few million to help them buy the club. while I like the idea of supporters owning their own club I'm not sure the council should be getting involved. it's one thing to have the sort of arrangement we have where the council...

    City Of Coventry Stadium

    fairplay to the people of coventry at least some of them have turned up unlike the other games! weird that they've covered the club crest yet are quite happy for people to have CCFC flags on display complete with sponsors logo!

    BBC Olympic mistakes thread

    they've just done an update from the Ricoh Arena on the News at 6, guess noone told the BBC the stadium name had changed.
