Esmond Million's Bung

and you make the assumption that that is the point I was trying to make, which it wasn't. The point trying to make and have done on other threads about this shitty club is that 24/48 hours after coming out of administration the chief executive Birch bragged that they had signed Kitson and Lawrence on the bargain wages of 15k + 10k per week and guess what the pompey fans were cool with that in fact they were delirious about it, many expecting a quick return to the prem and now they are calling Kitson and some of other higher paid players signed during this period all of the bastards under the sun and calling for them to rip up their contracts. News flash, of course I don't expect football clubs to take into account the concerns and criticisms of the fans, especially given the fact that many fans at various clubs are more than happy to go along with dubious foreign owners, who have no concept about running an English club, it's history and it's fans but I also reserve the right to have little or no sympathy for the fans, who silently sat back and never even questioned the running of the club and it's actions so soon after coming out of the original administration. I repeat Pompey are and have been taking the piss for too long.

No, he wants what he is owed according to the contract that he signed with them, apparently they owe him 3 mill.

How can anyone have any sympathy whatsoever for this club or it's supporters?, the club and fans are desperately trying to get the players rip up their contracts and then a story likes this comes out of Frattons shit hole. http://www1.skysport...-Derry-interest They are taking the piss, they should instead be looking to sign players from Derry City youth team, anything to stay in business.

Not if this was 48 hours after coming out of administration, I would certainly ask questions and I hope every right thinking City fan would also actually ask "SL, can we really afford this?". Anyway if SL tried to sign the incredibly overrated Rooney, i'd think about trying to get the guy sectioned, but i'd take the other 2.

1982 and the 2 Pompey debacles couldn't be more different, we certainly lived in different times back in 1982. Footballers were men back then and men with honour and not cheating/tweeting/whinging/gutless/overpaid/money grabbing/spit roasting/cowards that inhabit the prem in the modern game, a game where very average players become multi millionaires but really couldn't give a **** about the game in general or winning medals just who will pay them a few shekels more.

Nope nor me, they should have asked more questions the second time around when they signed Kitson and Lawrence, like are you sure we can afford this, instead they allowed the new owners to try to go for the quick fix in pursuit of a quick return to the big bucks of the prem.

Actually agree with you here (for once) I blame the club, the administrators and to some degree the fans who should have been more vocal the second time around about the wages being paid to players and was it sustainable.

Liverpool going for fourth?.

Actually thinking about it wasn't it Jedward that Coppell signed for us from Ireland during his 5 minute reign at AG?.

How about Jedward?

Anthony Worrall Thompson was caught shoplifting cheese and wine..........................That was for starters.

is that the same Dave Jones whose last signing for Cardiff was Jon Parkin?.
