    I've had a little think, & Baldrick, I think I may have cunning plan....

    1) Practice begging skills then go & locate that young couple from Nottingham who one £45million on the euro lottery. Rumour has it they want to 'blow a bit', & I'm pretty sure the definition of blowing £45M is investing in PFC.

    2) Plant some drugs in Ben Tal Haim, Liam Lawrence & Dave Kitsons locker, then abruptly sack them, that should save about £100,000 a week.

    3) As the inhabitants of Fratton are mainly greasy, see if you can get in on the bail out lark, plenty of cash flying around there for a couple months.

    Any others, no wums please. ;)

    I've thought of a few that were knocking about in my head....

    1) Sell the entire playing staff and replace them on the pitch with strategically placed garden gnomes to save on wages. This would also save on washing / kit costs as the shirts would be painted on.

    2) Ask the players to get second jobs. 13 players working in Asda on a Thursday night could raise enough revenue to get them on the bus to away games.

    3) Pull a random geezer off the street, put him in a wizards outfit, stick him in front of the press stating he has 'millions' to plough into the club. Let him tell the world about his multi-billion pound business selling flying hoverboats to middle eastern investors. That should buy Fred Dineage (spelling) enough time to accrue the necessary funds via his celebrity news reader chums to purchase the club and turn them back into the giant club they have always been.

    That's about it for now from my noggin.

    If only Kanu had put a £1 away for every day of his life so far; they'd have more than enough to pay their bills and pay off all their debts. And if Benjani had done the same, they'd even have enough to start building a team again.

    Talking of which, where is Kanu? I assume injured, but for how long?

    I got one more yeah...

    There's this site on the interweb called Wonga. They dish out dollar to pretty much anyone. I know cos my mate Steve went on there once and got £500 just for logging in. He didn't even stick in his details. Mental.

    Well I reckon they could get at least 2 grand being a Football Club, they then get down to the casino, stick half on red, half on black with a little bit if luck they'll be rolling in it by the end of the night and might even have turned a profit after the interest rates from Wonga.

    Genius or what!

    I thought Baldrick was the one that thought of the cunning plans. Anyway, maybe they should leave wet floors, banana skins, and other hazards around Fratton Park. Have you had an accident at work that wasn't your fault? A few claims later, everyone's a winner.

    They should have a bucket collection and once they have collected lots of buckets they should go and build sandcastles on Southsea beach. That should give them something to do on a Saturday afternoon when they no longer have a football club to watch!

    One wonders why you feel the need to gloat. Considering your last attempt to mock the attendance figures was dubious at best since three quarters of the ground was filled on a week day during a time which any money going into the club was more likely to line the pockets of Chainrai and Andronikou than it was to be put towards keeping the club afloat or paying off debts - Andronikou has claimed £200,000 of the Portsmouth's money as payment for his services as CSI's administrator, with current Portsmouth administrator Birch is no at all happy about.

    The fans were idiots because we blindly believed that the club was being run properly? Well then, I guess the majority of football fans around the world are idoits too.

    Not unusual..administrators are expensive..admittedly they are highly skilled. If you think about it, administrators would take their money first because they are always working for companies going down the tubes. Birch will get his money as well. No administrator goes unpaid. Perhaps Birch thought AA should have been paid by CSI/Chanrai since he's been acting for them all along.
