Interesting piece in Mail on-line about daily struggle of Appleton. Said he was sold the job as a 5-yr plan to get into the PL which ended after only 10 days (similar to us...our 5-yr plan was cut short too:)). Sometimes they didn't have money for food and had to have whip rounds in the dressing room. He didn't meet one player until he walked into the hotel lobby before their first match. They have about £30,000/wk to run club and he thinks they can last till January.

Great! We can buy some new players then.
 
Latest Pompey score...

New Players signed 13 Debts paid 0

Another resounding trouncing of their financial obligations. Well done Pompey.

Parachute payments are earmarked to pay off all debts. Haven't received em yet due to still being in admin. 13 players are on on month by month contracts. We have a wage bill approved by the admin of 2.65mil per year, which would have been more than covered by 11/12000 gates. We got 17000+ on saturday.
 
Historyrepeating is right, history is repeating. Appleton quoted on sky earlier as confident he will bring in at least 3 new players soon...
 
Hi Lapras. I haven't been keeping up with all the goings on of late. Whats the latest/situation with the PST?

Yes, but I think Birch is probably less incompetent than Lampitt.

Yet again, I'm sure history will probably prove you wrong. It's willfully naive to think that Birch hasn't got caught up in the popularity contest that effects people when they enter Fratton, instead of sticking to business & his remit.

The whole "10th of August" drop down dead-deadline was classic emotional blackmail. If he was running the club as a business he'd have carried on playing the youth team as clearly they earn less and results on the pitch don't really matter at this stage, from a football or business perspective if you are simply trying to keep the club afloat.

Have the Fratton End sung "There's only one Trevor Birch" yet?

Agree - I don't necessarily want to see Pompey go under, but surely if they are as close to the edge as they claim to be, they couldn't even afford monthly contracts for that many new players? They should be doing everything they can to stay alive
