Adver News: Swindon chairman Fitton hits out at Pompey for claims over £1million Austin bid

[land_of_bo]

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.

[Power to people]

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.

“I’m not going to say who the text is from but it proves what that figure was and I could really embarrass them with that."

I love Fitton almost as much as I despise Andronikou

[jonny72]

I thought it was a dumb thing to say. Either name the person or don't say anything.

[iffy]

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

[Sussex]

There should be an app. for that.

[Summerof69]

Would that be the 'Andronikou talks bollocks' app?

[Sussex]

Sure would. I expect Jonny's already got one.

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.

I really hope it was a text from Dr Evil.

Applause. Fantastic post. My sentiments exactly.

Tommy smiths deal to qpr has also fallen through due to an administrative problem.

Hahaha twats

Indeed

For an administrator he seems to have a lot of problems with "administrative" issues, doesn't he?

"The authorities reckon the Tommy Smith deal to QPR was completed at 1802 BST or something like that."

The slapdash fuckwit.
