Re: Portsmouth fc

Stranded
cmonurz If Pompey do fold on August 10th (ok, we know they won't), who will take their place in League One?


By that stage, I would suggest no-one and they'll just go with a 23 team League 1.


And so once again they'd be cheating someone out of a place in a higher league

Re: Portsmouth fc

I would like to know how a club close to liquidation can still go on a pre season tour of Spain? They owe millions yet I would guess at the cheapest estimate for a sqaud of 20 staff would be £500 a head? So that's ten grand that could have gone on paying off debts? I have been made redundent, worke...

Re: RUMOUR - Yaya Banana

dogzbollox I started a thread on this guy about a month ago and it got moderator-ised, so this latest info means either

a) I am a genuine ITK type person and didn't even know it myself!

or

b) The moderators hate me

Re: Gossip - Only one more to come in...?

BMcD always knew which positions needed to be strengthened and with a RB as well as Mariappa who should be unveiled tomorrow, he will have ticked all the boxes. However, there is still money in the transfer kitty and other clubs may still find some of our less regarded players attractive. I would n...

Re: The generic transfer thread

Paddy Kenny completes his move from QPR to Leeds. I wonder if there's a record for how many times a manager has signed the same player? Warnock absolutely bums the fat git. Brian Clough took two players with him everywhere - give me a minute and I'll look them up John McGovern was with him at Hartl...

Re: John Terry

John Terry is likely to be on the receiving end of a few rash challenges this year. What's different to normal ? None of the current case has made his name any different. Remember, despite his defence claiming he's never done anything like it,he's already een sent off for racially abusing Ledley Ki...

NewCo is a completely new club, as they've been keen to stress, so they are not liable for any old punishments or any old debt. They were not "kicked out" of the SPL. The new club's application to rejoin the SPL directly was rejected. The new Rangers re being treated just as any completel...

Re: Reading game you would like to watch again

Reading -v- Arsenal at Highbury, in the mid 60's. We lost the game, but it was magic to be there, and see RFC playing such a dominant team, as Arsenal were in those days. I know there are other Hob Nobbers who were there that night. Colin Meldrum fired a shot at Goal from his own half, and hit the ...
