    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    It’s not about promotion, this is about the pyramid. L1 and 2 are in massive trouble here. I don’t blame you. You’ve got a chance to go up by voting for yourselves and that in turn secured your future. It’ll never happen again. But if L1 doesn’t come back, that’s it for L1 football for 12...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    It’s not about the playoff games. It’s about principles as I’ve said. Clubs wouldn’t have entered a partnership without that intention. You say it’s about risking a playoff place. It’s about more than that. I don’t blame you for voting the way you will. It’s a guaranteed preserve for your...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    They’ll vote to play on. There’s no way when they entered the group of 6 teams they would go back on that, especially when the EFL board’s preferred position does technically remain to play on. I think you’ll win the vote. It’ll not be as big a margin as you think.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Well we are voting to play on. I can’t see Oxford or Fleetwood deserting their principles either. That’s 9 certs imo. It’ll come down to the Blackpool, Bristol Rovers and Lincoln imo. I think the vote to curtail will win. But not by as much as predicted. Voting to end; You, Rotherham...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Time to wade in a bit here. I’m not here to be OTT, but also offer some balance. As soon as null and void went off the table, there was only one conclusion - to promote you and Rotherham. The two best sides I’ve personally seen this season. We beat Rotherham at ours in our best performance of...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Having had the (mis) fortune of living in Scumpton for 3 years, I can confirm it is a bigger dump - even without my blue tints on. Think house prices and crime rates there are another level. Not pretending Pompey is a rich man's paradise by any means. Far from it - it's certainly not as wealthy...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    This time it is happening. We are about to boost our squad with 3 players. We've recalled a lad at Bognor as back-up, so we don't have less than 3 'traditional forwards', are trying to sign 2 new left wingers with pace, one being Andre Green, and are converting another of our wingers into a...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Finally looks like this is happening, he will play in the number 10 for you week in, week out - he is the McNulty replacement. Good luck to him, he needs a new start. The way this has dragged out hasn't been in anybody's interest. Deal will be made permanent in January. My only concern for...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I wouldn't blame CCFC if they did move on...but as mentioned yesterday, as it stands Robins is prepared to wait for this deal.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Sunderland's Eisa bid isn't all it's cracked up to be by all accounts. This one is going to rumble on.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I personally think we are treating Chaplin appallingly in this whole thing. The lad has made it clear if he's not to be a regular, then he wants to go somewhere where he is. He's a homegrown talent and a Pompey fan, and whilst we are obviously prepared to let him go to get a different type of...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    From our end. Latest is this: Chaplin to you - fee is agreed. North of £400k. Short of £450k, plus add ons. Deal is simply awaiting the green light on us getting a replacement. Barnsley and Bristol Rovers still 'sort of' sniffing, but the deal is agreed in effect. That money has given us the fee...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Coventry will sign him. He wants to go to you.

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Coventry close in on Pompey’s Conor Chaplin This despite As said earlier, the fee is very close and it will mean we are satisfied that whatever you are paying us allows us to go and find that different kind of forward. Chaplin has long decided you are where he wants to play. He knows he's...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Bottom line is we want to sell Chaplin to fund the Eisa deal (despite the bluster in our local press that we are desperate to keep him and anyone who comes in is a contingency replacement). Despite his obvious talent, Chaplin is too similar in style to Pitman and won't get in front of him here...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    You are at a huge advantage in terms of winning the race for Chaplin. Bristol Rovers and Barnsley reported interest is very loose at this stage. They have bid, but they are rumoured to be lower bids than what you initially put in - very much a case of them testing the water. Their interest is...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Update on this one from our end...feeling is you will get something done this week for Chaplin, possibly as soon as Wednesday or Thursday. Just to give people an idea of this move and how he might sit in the squad with other signings, because I've seen one or two mention about getting in another...

    Transfer Rumours

    Player exchanges won't interest us I don't think (unless you are chucking in Tom Bayliss :happy:). We've got a need for 3 players in (RB - deal virtually done for a player we had on loan last season, ACM - deal being negotiated for a loan player and a striker). For months now, going back to...
