£1m? You fucking disgust me. Pompey, AA and anyone who had any shred of sanity seems to have forgotten their hideous financial state but a few months prior.

Well what they thought they'd done was sign Kitson and Lawrence on a players plus cash swap for Wilson. But it turns out Andronikou fucked up the paperwork on Lawrence so they've ended up with just Kitson. His own version of events is flatly contradicted by what's on the Pompey OS which is that they simply failed to get the paperwork in on time whereas Andronikou swears they did, so "it's a complete mystery" to him why the deal didn't go through. Not that he's lying about either deal. Oh no.

I wouldn't let Pompey sign anyone until they paid all the football creditors in full, and then they would also have to pay all transfer fees up front in full.

All tranfers should be done this way. If you want to buy someone stump up the cash, up front. No cash, no deal.

I would not have thought the FL would have sanctioned the deal anyway regardless- they are still in administration so if they can afford to pay money like that then they can afford to pay more to their creditors

Agreed...though they can't afford fuck all so its just trying to show that they can compete still...which they can't.
In fact Pompey have a real chance of going down....not the direction Mr Austin is looking to go.

Fully agree about that. It's farcical when you still owe money on a player, when you've already sold him, and made a profit on te player as well.

It's a smart thing to say because it calls Andronikou's bluff, without having to name him.

Just how he's handled this affair in the press today shows the level of contempt that Fitton has for Andronikou. He was pretty damning last week about other clubs unsettling players, and Andronikou has played a stupid, dumb-fuck of a card which has rightly been exposed as a fucking lie.

How that fat, slimy, odious fuck of a man could have the bollocks to darken our fucking door again, after all the shit he presided over with Diamandis etc, by even mentioning us in a press statement, let alone falsely claiming to be bidding £1m for Austin, is beyond me.

Fitton doesn't strike me as a violent man, but I think even he might kick the fat fuck right in the bollocks if Andronikou ever had cause to visit the CG again.

Ha, now he's outed how much Lawrence and Kitson are on (and that it breaks their wage cap), publicly slagged off Nugent and Utaka and rounded off by saying he quite likes the transfer embargo

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/frattonlatest/Duo39s-wages-are-39exception-to.6521804.jp

This at a time when they're trying to (re)sign Kanu and Rocha - Andronikou claimed they'd signed last week but it turned out they hadn't as Cotterill is reportedly struggling to persuade them to agree to the wage cap which he's now just blown wide open.

Threads on Pompey messageboard include:
"SSN now reporting on our new pay structure. Thanks AA."
"Andronikou - WAC"
"Andronikou is an absolute idiot - FACT"

Making friends wherever he goes....

"Now Kitson and Lawrence have arrived from the Premier League. Andronikou has revealed their wages are '£19,000s and £20,000s' "

£20,000 x 52 = £1,040,000

Dave Kitson.

I keep checking it for misplaced decimals.

Well out of order Pompey. They have got away with things very lightly,  they should have been fined more, had a larger cv ( pence per pound)  imposed and been demoted further down.  :badmood:

They weren't fined, their demotion was due to not securing enough points, not a punishment, and a CVA is not a punishment that gets imposed. It's an agreement between the company's creditors and the administrator as to the minimum %age of the money owed that will be repaid over a fixed period of time. Or not so fixed, if the administrator is Andronikou.

But apart from that, your points stand up well :)

Oh dear, more trouble with paperwork for our favourite publicity-shy administrator:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/sep/10/west-ham-lyall-greenwood
(about half-way down under the West Ham story)

After proudly predicting that all his hard work in ensuring Chainrai's takeover of Pompey would be rubber-stamped by the League yesterday, leading to an era of "blue skies", it's proved another false dawn. Not enough paperwork this time apparently, rather than getting it in late, so at least it was a different excuse

So another pontificating prediction in the press goes to shit. He's no Mystic Meg is he?
