Mike Williamson (now managing MK Dons)

[Ameritoon]

If they're making such mistakes, they deserve to go into administration.

[Guest BooBoo]

Unless the contract of sale has been signed, Pompey have every right to cancel or temporarily postpone the deal.

[Segun Oluwaniyi]

What right do they have to demand more for the player anyway? I'm surprised we agreed to pay 900,000. Considering the situation of the player and the two clubs, we have no reason to overpay.

[Guest Stephen927]

Surely if they agreed a fee with us then there is some paperwork signed to say they'll sell him for that fee.

 

In which case tough s***, morons.

 

Is there anything to stop them from pulling out though, we accepted a bid from West Ham for Dyer then changed our asking price.

[lovejoy]

do we want him?

 

just read he hasn't kicked a ball for pompey??

[jdckelly]

couldnt play him due to they would owe money for him to watford. and now cant sell him due to money would be owed to watford

Fuck me, we've gone into dealings with the only club seemingly ran by bigger idiots than ours.

[macca888]

So, is this deal done or not?

[jong24]

not

[Mags Serbia]

Not yet

[Pilko]

Likely we won't hear anything tomorrow as we have a game, so could well be Monday before this is tied up.

if the morons at pompey care to actually read the fine print this time

[Teasy]

I agree with that, just don't think the additional transfer fee would have made a great deal of difference to his playing time that's all.

 

Based on what though?  We don't have any idea what's going on in the managers head nor do we have much of an idea what Portsmouth's situation is other then the obvious financial problems and then being generally shit (at least I don't anyway).  What we do know is the fact that he hasn't played tells us zero about the players ability.  The only info we really have on him is that he was class at Watford, so we know he's at least a very good Championship player, and that Pompey were willing to offer £3m for him so they believed he's a Premiership player.  Hopefully we'll find out if they were right next season

[Teasy]

So now they want more money because they didn't even realise how much they owed to Watford?   Portsmouth are absolutely fucking amazing.    They're like a tramp who asks for a certain amount of money, sees the cash in your hand and asks for a bit more so they can get one more can of special brew.

[TRon]

If Portsmouth pull the plug on this deal does that mean they've more or less accepted they will be going bankrupt in which case they won't need to pay their creditors?

I just don't think he'd have been keeping Kaboul or Ben Haim out of the team. Just an opinion that's all.

[James]

So if it is true that they won't play him as they have to pay, and can't let him come here as they have to pay, surely Williamson could be entitled to take legal action against Portsmouth.

[La Parka]

Maybe we pay the deficit and get him for a nominal fee?

[BlueStar]

Fucking hell

Wonder what wages this player who they can't play and can't sell is on 

[GG]

The point is, I believe, that they forgot about the sell-on clause we have, hence why I think they're trying to convince Williamson to join us on loan as was the plan before your interest (fucking hope this doesn't happen).

[Colocho]

He's only played 17 games out of League Two in his career ... and he's 26.

In that case, wouldn't they just be getting us to up our bid so that they recieve the same fee we've offered now plus whatever needs to be paid to Watford?
