Thread | SJ MASKELL: Players have their part to play in not killing Pompey
at 19:12 13 Jan 2013
"The first Pompey home game of the year has been called off, but to be honest, I have had to have a serious think about whether I want to go to Fratton Park."
Bet you didn't have problems going to any of the Wembley appearances, bet you didn't have a problem with the AC Milan game or any other high-profile PL match did you?
Systematic of so many "supporters' in that they can't stay away when the times are good, but when things get rough you can't see their arses for dust.
SJ, just keep churning out second-rate, second-hand articles and get your name known online, but don't keep up with the pretence of being a supporter. |

All credit to them for doing everything they've done but this needs a hell of a lot of work to make it anything like a competitive alternative to Chainrai. The financials have more holes in them than an award winning Swiss cheese. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Wise words, but isn't it a fact that if the players hang on and the club is liquidated, then they are football creditors whose monies owed is paid out of the sale of the assets of PFC?
The day after the club is liquidated they can move to anyone who wants them, minus a transfer fee, and are still owed their money from the ruins of PFC.
Even if they don't get 100% of the outstanding wages/bonuses, it'll still be a damned site more than if they were to transfer whilst PFC still exists, agreeing to relinquish a claim for that cash. Plus of course if the buying club then becomes the signing club (i.e. they don't have to pay a transfer fee), you'd expect the player moving would benefit by receiving a larger salary and/or signing on bonus.
There's a reason those few are going through the motions at Eastleigh every day. |

Mick, why do you rise to his bait? You're giving him the oxygen he needs to stay on these boards, which for an obviously poorly-educated, socially inadequate person is all the social interaction he gets.
He knows nothing about the game, has no personal graces whatsoever and has been proven on a great many occasions to be a complete fantasist. Why you'd want to get into an extended argument with someone like that heaven only knows.
He's like an irritating little fly - ignore it and it'll either disappear elsewhere or curl up and die in a corner (assuming the old suicide attempts are back on the menu of course....). |

Started going to FP a year or so after Uncle Colin, used to annoy Bunky Bowers by standing with him, Adam Lower, etc. on the North Stand Terrace, got beat up by a dwarf at half-time during an evening match (Port Vale I think when Hemmerman scored against us) and have followed the club the length and breadth of the country.
Oh yes, was an initial member of the Plan B team but less said about that the better really. |

Still got that copy of On The Ball and also had a copy of the cover framed on my office wall. Well I did until a Brum fan nicked it.
They were great days and arguably the happiest times I spent watching Pompey, although the Frank Burrows days came a very close second. Years after he left us I met Scully whilst he was at Chesterfield, following a game against Walsall. I mentioned the singing on the Guildhall steps and the whole promotion season and his response after a brief pause was "best days of my life". He didn't need to say any more than that. |

Just a pity that the football creditors rule wouldn't allow it to happen so easily in the English leagues. But hey, if Birch can't rid the club of the high earners then a Conference side would be about the best we could hope for, although even that wouldn't happen until the 2013/2014 season at best.
