CCFC were already in their second straight year of declining attendances when SISU took over (this may or may not be of interest). The likes of Leon Best would surely have been sold if the club were in administration - a firesale of all assets and cut-price hand-offs of the high salary...

I hope we go to Bristol with every intention of beating them, because they sure as hell will be up for beating us. Setting up shop for the point would be very tough going indeed.

In fairness, SISU have very, very, very few supporters.

Yeah, one week I'll say that the squad is so poor it can never stay up and that it's SISU's fault, and the next week I'll be saying that the squad can stay up thanks to the manager. Oh no, wait...

Context is everything.

Most are right here. Where was this team passion for the first two-thirds of the season? That's always been the point.

We received £1.3m for Juke. That price would likely halve by the summer as he was in the last year of his contract, and almost certainly lower than that if we were relegated. That's not including the wages that were also saved by selling him 6-18 months before contract expiry. You have to juggle...

Clingan should have been sold a couple of windows ago when his value was high. I'm not sure of Cranie's contract status, but the main reason for selling Turner was precisely because he was an in-demand asset with guys like McPake, Cranie, Keogh, Cameron and Wood ready to step in. The price...

Right. SISU need to determine a transfer policy and communicate it to the fans. Good players simply cannot be allowed to walk from the club - they need to be sold, and a portion of that money needs to be reinvested. Buy low, sell high. I'd like to believe that if that policy was clearly stated...

Clearly Juke's value would have diminished by the day. Had his price tag remained stable, then yes, any early sale would have been bewildering. It's these ups and downs you have to wrestle with and be decisive at the right moment. I think SISU got the crosshairs just about right with Juke, but...

There's the rub. How else are we going to raise money without selling? There's no stadium to borrow against, no stadium from which to draw significant revenues. It's easy to say "spend in order to do X and Y", but everybody has to draw the line somewhere.

Good. So let's do that and no more nonsense about how you were saying X, Y and Z.

Take a read of this: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmcumeds/792/79207.htm In 2010 the aggregate net debt in the Championship was nearly £1bn. It's a problem that goes way beyond Pompey. We even have fans here who constantly lobby for administration and a "clean...

It's a completely separate discussion. The truth is that the majority of teams in the Championship are guilty, to some degree, of what Pompey did. Most finance their teams on deep debt. Pompey overstretched themselves and have been rightfully punished, but as I say, we got damn lucky with that...

It's a reference to a past exchange, which clearly you aren't aware of.

Let's be clear about something: Pompey's 10 point deduction helped us out massively. We'd still be concrete certainties were it not for their...generosity. Now though, the odds are pretty even; so, so much depends on that Bristol away game - hopefully we can win it and then we'd definitely have...

Entering a conversation to which you were not invited? Is that not..."narcissistic"?

"Abuse"? You've being overly-sensitive.

You're right, we should be celebrating a good win today, but you're trolling every thread with "me, me, me" and martyrdom comments. Give it a rest and have a pint, eh? It's toe-curling behaviour.
