    A real problem for Pompey if they are unpaid for a second month!

    Had to laugh as makers of a Hollywood version of Les Miserables were reported yesterday as holding audtions in Portsmouth. Gone to the right place then.

    So I'm not the only one who is perhaps against Chanrai?

    There is somebody on twitter who has taken on the Chanrai name - with his photo. Sooooooo funny.

    Look. It was a Tuesday night game. Some of us had commitments like work and couldn't make it. 14,000 is approximately three quarters of the stadium capacity. That's a good turn out for a mid-week game.

    Well the fake Chanrai is great - a total spoof of the real one.

    The real Chanrai - I think he's a cannie businessman who has got involved with something that went out of his control.

    A cannie businessman doesn't lend many millions of pounds to a business that is in trouble, and that trouble is because of its links with one of his rivals/enemies. He took Gaydamak Snr to court in Israel and won a case for £17m (it was reported). He was wrong-footed somewhere and now he wants his money back. I don't think he has anything against the club itself, but he will hold on to Fratton Park until he is repaid in full.

    Both men are still involved with Fratton Park as each of them owns a piece of the land - Chanrai through a debenture lodged at Companies House and Gadamak Jnr owns some of the land surrounding the park. I really don't believe he will let it go for anything less than the full amount - even if it takes forever and a day to get it.

    That's my view on Chanrai. How about you - what's your take on him?

    Never trust a man who can't tie a decent knot in his tie!

    The FL covering their arses in order not to give the Skates a points deduction...or laying the ground for hammering them with a lot more than just the ten points when they go into administration?

    10 Points deduction is mandatory for going into admin.

    Lets compare...

    The first home game after Southampton announced it was going into admin in 2009 whilst in the Championship = 27,228

    The first home game after Portsmouth announced it was going into admin in 2012 whilst in the Championship = 14,330
