    It would appear that Liverpool, Chelsea and Stoke are all casting their eyes over our 19 year old attacking midfielder Jed Wallace, currently on loan to non-league Whitehawk.

    As he is on a month to month contract until we hopefully come out of administration, if he goes, we will merely receive a minimal amount of compensation.

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Maybe Liverpool, Stoke and/or Chelsea will show some sympathy and pay more than they actually need to in the interests of showing solidarity with Portsmouth...... Nah that's never gonna happen.

    Also, why is Jed Wallace both a defender and an actual Farnborough player (not a loanee) in Football Manager 2012?

    No vaguely competently run business would do that.

    I thought the Co-Op only gave dividends to their members ?!

    Perhaps PFC should adopt Tesco's catchy slogan of "Every Little Helps".

    Mind you, I cant recall any company having the slogan "We've been £ucked again", which would probably be more appropriate........

    But the Co-Op, and John Lewis and others, portray themselves as responsible, ethical companies with a robust CSR policy and so on which is why I say Co-Op might. Plus, Fair Trade is basically just that: you pay more than you need to as a consumer so that the original producer may obtain greater profits and raise their own standard of living.

    Clearly I've just made the mistake of assuming Portsmouth was in the First World, not the Third.:biggrin:

    Apparently it's just a rehash of an old article - and as Jed Wallace is still in the academy he's on at least a 1 year contract, not a monthly one. So don't fret folks.

    I'm guessing 100% isn't an option?

    The term first world/third world is a throw back to the Cold War when the term first world referred to NATO and it's allies, second world referred to the Warsaw Pact and it's allies and third world simply meant countries which were neutral, though many of them were 'poor' countries.

    Global south refers to all the countries south of the 'Brandt Line', which was a classification developed by some dude called Brandt (who was a German Chancellor apparently) which basically classed countries on how rich they are. Those countries 'south' of the line are poor. But this line is very squiggly and doesn't necessarily correspond to global geography, for example many countries in the northern hemisphere are in the global south while some countries like Australia and New Zealand are in the global north. As you can see from this image:

    It's a bit out of date as you'd probably consider China to be part of the global north nowadays.

    There's also a similar classification which uses the term 'non-integrating gap' to refer to poor countries. That was developed by the CIA I think.
