We should canvas some opinion on how good Paynter is.

I can't picture this deal happening.

Good to see people thinking in terms of points not just places for judging team performance early in the season. Yes, at the end of the season the final position is all that matters, but the talk of "must be top 6 after 10 games" seemed a bit arbitrary to me. Being 8th on the same number of...

Sorry, I cut out some prior history in making my basic point that Thorn has been given the chance to fashion his own team now so let's see what we can do with it. You've made a bit of a straw man to batter here I think Godiva. I agree money doesn't grow on trees, bringing in freebies to replace...

It was right to cut costs to avoid a Pompey scenario, but to cut them in an apparently haphazard manner with no thought as to the consequences for the team and in a way which endangered and ultimately destroyed our Championship status was wrong. I don't hear many people here objecting to the way...

Binley, welcome! I agree with you. Hitman, I do not believe Lambert would have got that squad near promotion last season. SISU ripping the spine out a club prior to the season and not replacing it, then taking away the one cutting edge we had in the next transfer window put us on the fast track...

The report below suggests Waggott came in at the end of December. Snozzer says he thinks this phone call happened pre-Waggott. The report on Ranger returning injured is dated December 22. Was Thorn lining up a deal in mid December, knowing the Barnsley loan was only until Jan 14? I don't know...

Nile ranger moved to Barnsley on a 2-month loan deal in November. That means he would have been available again in January. He got injured early so left Barnsley early. Wednesday took him on in March. It looks like there was a window of opportunity for Thorn to take on the striker (albeit not...

If you're right, that says it all about the way SISU treated this club last season!

Thorn took 48 hrs to contact a SISU official or someone else?

What was the salary limit the administrator set? 5k per week per player? Even he seems a bit relaxed about expenditure - I would be amazed if Cov are signing anyone on much more than £1.5k a week. Planet Pompey; where money grows on magic trees. They might as well get rid of their academy if...

I'm too young to have seen him play, but after reading all the great comments on this thread I wish I had a time machine so I could. Rest in peace.
