I'm disappointed that Rooney has decided to walk out on us and especially at the timing of it being so close to the start of the season but football wise I'm hoping that our new manager will want to play a more incisive, attacking, exciting type of football as, for me, under Rooney we didn't 'go for it' as much as I'd have liked - I accept that we might not have had or won't have the players to do that but I'd rather lose a game knowing we'd thrown the kitchen sink at teams trying to win rather than playing a patient game trying to carve out openings that might not always come.

Stuck in the middle with Roo.

Morris' legacy. The w*****.

At least two so it could be three or four or more! 

Good point.
I'm not fussed about losing players who aren't going to be motivated if they stay, but if any of them with 1 year to go on their contracts are trying to diddle the club out of a transfer fee, I hope they come to regret their eventual moves.

At least two so it could be three or four or more! 

I don't think they do. 
Fans love success. I doesn't mean over-spending. You could say last season was a success of sorts. It made me very proud of my Club. That's the feeling most fans want, it usually comes with winning things - I hope we can try and win the Papa Johns trophy, I still remember winning the Watney Cup! 
 

Portsmouth fan here in peace. 
I'm guessing that some of you will have seen that we have previous with Andronikou involved as an administrator with us; and fair to say that those of our support who remember him hold him in utter contempt. 
I sincerely hope you manage to rid yourself of Morris' tenure and are able to move on properly from all this without him having any control over any of the assets your club needs to move forward.
Look after yourselves - and hopefully when we meet next season things will be on a bit more of an even keel for you.

Brilliant news and great that it's been a prompt arrest ?

What the hell am I reading?
Are people actually forgetting the role the EFL have played in the legal proceedings against us that rumbled beyond the last transfer window and put everyone off making a bid for us.  Delays that saw us lose Jagileka and a goalscorer, plus half of our amazing academy. 
And that's after the legal proceedings against us for the ground etc that led to the delays that led to the late points deduction that led to the legal proceedings that led to nobody putting in a acceptable bid until a month or so a go. 
The fact we didn't go down the season before was 'regrettable'. 
Blame Mel, absolutely, but to call the EFL the boogeyman or a smokescreen shows a complete lack of understanding. 
Christ. 

Trevor Birch a chartered accountant. I had him down as a merchant banker.

It's 1965 in my world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! 

It's weave goddammit....weave!! ?

This whole mess comes down to one thing, succinctly put by that great character actor, Strother Martin, in Cool Hand Luke. "What we have here, is a failure to communicate".

Someone swap Ed Dawes with Chris Cole’s please. Get Chris back 

Nice one Cyril nice one son 

I’m not so sure. By all means report doubts from sources, or disturbing rumours but the wording is inflammatory and typical of Ed. It’s shock horror attention grabbing. I respect his fan like enthusiasm and knowledge of the club, but I have never liked his tone and delivery. It’s always seemed to me to be bratty and sensationalised. 
 
god this is torture

Only three new ones for me.
