Boro mate reckons were 1 of 3 clubs after their Traore, with Chelsea being the players preferred move.

Apart from Charney.

If he's so rich and interested why didn't he just buy SAFC himself? If everything goes perfectly for them they're 2 years minimum from getting back to the Premiership. Exactly. If he sells a stake in the club, it's not worth much. Only thing I could imagine is investors out money forward for players and once thry are sold thry are paid back the sale fee minus a small cut for the club. Not even sure if that's legal...wont stop this chancer trying. Any serious investor with money would have bought them outright and told Donald to do one.

She’s a weird one that Janey. Uncal Micks sister (and mother) no doubt.

What did you do? What did you do? Made some odd the cuff comment about one of their many defeats about a month or so ago. It was due to expire this week and it had a date on, now...no date. Absolutely precious at the moment. Same at work. Can’t have any kind of conversation with them regarding football without bile and drivel coming straight out of their mouths. It’s magic carpet ride 2, and were in a false position and only time separates them from being ahead of us. Crackers man.

What did you do?

Jack Ross.

Ashley playing the role of the pig?

They’ll live within their means for several years, which should see them mid table of the championship.

Gibson would be a good replacement for mbemba or possibly Clark, but don't think he's good enough to be in out starting line up. Rather we went for Mawson, could be a long lasting partnership with JL.

Don't be daft. We'll sign him sharpish then look to peddle Sels to anderlecht at the same time. One of darlow or elliot will probably leave during the window, whichever we get the best offer for (probably darlow) forgot sels, that'll be 5 keepers on the books if we sign dubs on the bright side it might bring on mike's heart attack sooner...ashley that is, not the forum poster everyone loves If it helps bring it on let's sign Buffon as well.

Easily.

Never any doubt on Rafa to wham, but if I were them I'd be very happy with what they've got. Everyone wins.

From what I've heard Short has taken the parachute payments plus repayments on return to the premiership. So just the parachute payments.

Just hope whatever trickery thry are doing with the accounts is all above board and legal. It'll be the club that sufferers if not, he'll walk away no blame attached.

Surely even Ashley must see its another huge loss if relegated and the best way is to keep Rafa and live within our means.

Portsmouth have won things and is a better place to live.

And yet you quoted the whole thing A point well made, I thought.

Phone killer, that.

I'm sorry but that's s****......they had a deal agreed in principle, then Ashley went out, got p*ssed at a business lunch and bad mouthed them to his pals at Sky. Is this the 3rd time this club has been 'for sale'......and Ashley the business genius still hasn't managed to sell it?! Deal agreed in principle? Unlikely. Absolutely no proof of that at all.

Unfortunately with every day that passes (confirmed safety) it looks like Staveley was the tyre kicker Ashley called her out to be. Everyone knew he'd want more at the end of the season, the club is simply worth more now than it was at any time this season gone, especially finishing top 10. If she was interested then she gambled, and she lost. Sounds very similar to what we already have. Right now I'd take keeping Ashley, Rafa signing a new 3 year deal and Rafa having the control and budget he requires to meet his ambitions. I think it's about as good as it'll get for some time unless a serious offer comes in but you can't complain if we keep progressing and his price goes up, that's just business.

Clive Dendoncker Defender? Centre back?

Just messing, fella. Guess we find out sooner than we thought

Good. We'll know for sure.
