    SB3,

    £5 million to spend - great news. with only 10 players needed, a new training pitch, a new academy, and 6,000 litres of creosote needed for fallingdown parks annual maintenance programme, that £5 million should be enough! <doh>

    To answer the question. I think 2 - 3 new signings will see us challenging for a top six, as long as we keep our current squad. As to the possibility of relegation, I think you guys are a more realistiv bet than us, don't you?

    5million is really not that much, you'd do well to get 3 good players out of that

    Don't need to spend anything to stay up, our squad is good enough to how it is.

    And on Pompey's £5m, it will be enough for you to buy 6 decent players, which could see you challenging the playoffs.

    Hi Minging, haven't seen you in a while....In answer to your question, our squad is already worth £30 million plus, with a production line of young talent ready to step up in the future, so really £5 Million is only a drop in the ocean... only 1 of Chambo's precious legs....<laugh><ok>

    The real question is are our new owners more commited to ensuring promotion back to where we clearly belong, rather than your reluctant owner, by default?

    SB3, I took russian lessons at school, but was never any good, but we did have a very attractive supply teacher, who wore very tight jumpers, if my memory serves me right! Oh happy days!

    SB3............ Trouble is From where you are starting I E only 8 first team players 5 million is not all that much Just to survive you are going to need at least 15 /16 players of 1st team quality. You are going to be hard pushed just to be able to stay in the championship let alone push for promotion with a budget like that. Granted that's what all said last year and you did reasonably well, although I somehow think you may struggle a little this year especially until the team gels a bit then you may do a bit better.

    Why is this not posted on the Pompey forum then?

    Why haven't the mods deleted this yet?

    Have you got enough players to even field a team yet?

    Have you wished your Uncle ''happy fathers day' today?

    Have to admire the continuing show of bravado from the small blue section of our fair county though.

    Foolish as it is, in reality.

    When I saw this thread I thought someone was having a dig at Portsmouth, then realised it was started by SB3 and that he actually thinks 5 million is enough<laugh>
