Pompey £120m in the red affraid

Anyone wanting to buy that shower needs their bumps feeling.

by LeFromage Wed 21 Apr 2010, 18:45

It's an astonishing figure.

Wouldn't have thought they'd be worth much more than 10% of that.

As you say, anyone taking them on must be mental - there's no conceivable way any potential investor could make a penny of profit out of them.

Can't even sell them for scrap.

Looks like the end...

If they can't agree a CVA with their creditors they're sure to start next season with at least a 10 point reduction.

I hope the Administrator has had forensic auditors crawling all over the club's accounts - you can't tell me that a £120m loss is just down to poor management.

I remember Ipswich were fooked with £32mn debts after about a couple of years out of the top flight.

£120mn might have been servicable in the Prem, but they're in a right mess out of it.

Safe to say the winners of the Inter/Barca semi will stroll to CL success?

Bayern: tres ordinary.

Lyon: appalling.

Tonight's game was like watching paint dry or Joe Sayers bat

by LeFromage Thu 22 Apr 2010, 01:14

Urgh - imagine watching Joe Sayers paint.

by Basil Thu 22 Apr 2010, 01:19

Got to be better than watching him bat

by Guest Thu 22 Apr 2010, 01:20

Watching him paint his bat?

by LeFromage Thu 22 Apr 2010, 01:24

Whilst he simultaneously watches a DVD of his greatest blocks.

Fulham hold Hamburg to a 0-0 draw in Hamburg.

Just need to win at Craven Cottage now to make the Europa Cup final.

watched a bit of it...that Fulham keeper is ace

Mark Schwarzer .... got Con writ all over him .. but aye, a good goalkeeper, considering ...

I'd love to see Fulham get to the Finals and then kick Scouse arse ....
Roy Hodgson deserves it.

That Con may very well have a say in what Engulund does in Sarf Africa. Cool

You mean restricting England to putting 6 goals past him rather than 10 ?

Yeah, probably.

by JKLever Fri 23 Apr 2010, 13:45

Dodgy score 0-0 though... still 50/50 that tie. Would be a massive achievement for a club the size of Fulham.

They'd probably get smashed like Boro did when they reached the final.

Has there ever been an all English UEFA cup final?

Still a lot of work for both sides to do. If Liverpool concede at home they'll have to score 3 now.

Wolves/Spurs in the early 70's I think.

Should have been a Forest/Spurs final in 1984 but for some corrupt refereeing.

Yeah, the f*ckers.

I blame all of our recent
troubles on what happened there.

It was quite funny today hearing Sepp Blatter in South Africa, refer to the sport as "Association Football or soccer".

by taipan Sat 24 Apr 2010, 19:40

Did anyone mention how shit Arsenal were today?

No?

Okay I will.

They were shit.

by JKLever Sat 24 Apr 2010, 21:11

I'm sure Dello will be along later... he loves a bit of arse.

by DJ_Smerk Sat 24 Apr 2010, 22:24

So does Taips by the looks of it.
