You made me remember an advert I saw earlier. "Borrow money before payday" it was like this one

Finally been paid, according to the club at least:

Just in time for the players to start wondering if they'll get paid this month

[alanmayes]

Norwich's just released annual accounts make for interesting reading.They still seem more
than happy to be spending during the january transfer window,with moves for Macca,
Zak Whitbread and Oli Johnson.They're taking a risky route with players who simply won't
be good enough should they be promoted.They'd be no guarantee that players would be
willing to move on,should they gain promotion,whilst on very good contracts.

James is probably about the only player they could lose without having severe issues- this Begovic chap looks pretty good, and I expect James was on a large contract.

Not that it helps the general impression of them being fucked.

Hope he drops his soap.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8459969.stm

Harry Redknapp is a corrupt cunt.

To think some people wanted him as England manager, dont make me laugh!

[pauld]

I'm sure he'll beat the charges - he's as honest as the day is long

.. if you're a mayfly

Portsmouth -> Championship -> Toilet

[Nemo]

Portsmouth -> Championship -> Toilet

And not neccessarily in that order!

[suttonred]

Every team he manages seems to end up in the crapper, no business sense whatsover, i believe he's one of the main reasons why prem players wages are so stupid, 80k a week for that donkey utaka!

In Non-Pompey screwed club news, this Italian chap trying to buy West Ham (the one that owns Cagliari) has convictions for both fraud and false accounting. Now, I know the fit and proper persons test is nominal at best, but surely not? Especially when they have the alternative of the highly reputable porn peddlers Gold and Sullivan

He'd be excluded from becoming a director by the FPPT - one of the few things it DOES do is stop people with criminal convictions for financial offences from becoming directors. But as the guy apparently sorting out Portsmouth's finances also has a convinction for fraud, and as our own experience of people who should be disqualified under FPPT being able to side-step the rules by just running the club without being on the board show, I wouldn't hold your breath that this will be a serious block
