yes agree could see additional bonus signings but to have all bases covered twice chaplin will be enough

Doesn’t sound like you are one little bit.:joyful::joyful::angelic:should'nt pander to Kenny Jackett as he is a knob! he fucked us over coming in for Clarke when he was at the top of his game and he hardley played him in Wolves first team. We should back off and start to make spurious bids for forwards he is after and it will soon make him come to the party. The guy is a grade 1 knob! (not that i am bitter or anything)
What are Pompey doing now?Seems like Pompey are pissing about.
What are Pompey doing now?
Yes, that's a good idea. You have Eisa and we keep Chaplin. If you do end up with Chaplin I hope Pompey build in the add ons similar to that in the Webster transfer to Ipswich Town. We received £750000 plus Clarke and we got a real bargain out of that deal. Clarke is now our most bankable player worth £5 million upwards and we have just received another £600000 from Webster's transfer to Bristol City. Pompey are under no pressure to sell Clarke and have fended of all advances for him so I hope all that good work is not undone by selling one of our prize assets, certainly one for the future, in letting Chaplin go. Our season Tickets sales have dipped from 15500 to 12500 for next season which I believe is because of the very uninspiring signings so far and letting go of Chaplin will cause further unrest.City surely have their own deadline.
Sod it, just use McNulty cash for Eisa instead.
We have heard all the 'Mickey Mouse' quips thank you and it was obvious that was going to happen when Mr Eisner bought the club. They said they would not chuck money at the team and so far they have kept their word. We have a playing budget that is mid table, apparently, and any extra for the playing budget has to be self financed. Websters cash helped with that so I suppose selling Chaplin is part of that process. Does anyone know what Coventry's playing budget was, ours was set at around £3.5 million with the merest hint that it could be increased if the right deal came about or if it was needed.Making themselves look a bit Mickey Mouse.

That’s a shame. I bet you were hoping for a real Cinderella story.We have heard all the 'Mickey Mouse' quips thank you and it was obvious that was going to happen when Mr Eisner bought the club.

Apparently the same as last season, which was also similar to the season before. Eyebrows were raised then which has changed to a slightly murmuring groan.No idea what ours to be honest on just player wages alone, only the accounts what is paid as a total.

Oh what a Tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive (Bill Rattledagger)They are usually a bit of a Tangled mess.

"Whoooosh" is an excellent reply. So good I don't quite understand the relevance of it.Whoooosh! :emoji_hugging:

Love that film.Don't fret - I read it twice and slunk away feeling slightly inadequate (and I've got a plethora of qualifications - see the Three Amigos)
There is no news this end about Chaplin going or Eisa coming in, is there anything at your end? In fact it is really quiet here concerning two players who supposedly 'done deals' which is Walkes from Spurs and a lad on loan from Newcastle. I note that Coventry have brought in nine players with eight going out so how is the general confidence of the team doing well this coming season? I expect you had the 'special' treatment last season being a big and well known club in League 2 where teams looked on you as a 'scalp' and enjoyed the experience of playing at a decent ground. We had the same experience in League 2 but it is notably less in League 1.
Love that film.
Wasn't particularly rated by the critics, but audiences seemed to really like it and it has now become a cult classic.I rented it out years ago (knowing nothing about it) and watched it with my new next door neighbours. They tried to make out they were hating it, but when Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and ? started doing their hip thrusting 'Three Amigos' move, they lost it - literally tears rolling down their faces. I've since moved several times, but always look back with fondness to that shared daftness.

Hi you lot. Pompey fan in peace. Just to let you know that if you get Chaplin you will be very lucky. He is a deadly finisher and is very much in the McNulty would.
Jacket is a stubborn got and only wants to play one up front. Chaplin works well as part of a two.
This transfer is one we weren't particularly looking for but the offer came in from you guys and a light bulb went on in Jackets head saying opps we might need a replacement.
We approached Cheltenham re Eisa and they came back with a figure that knocked the deal over. We are currently trying to raise the sort of cash required.
Hence the delay.
Connor is still young and has a big future at a club where he will be appreciated. He's worth waiting for, hang in there.
Also Doyle did well for you, as he did for us. He's another player who Jacket was harsh on. Doyle didn't get the assurances he wanted re game time so he left for Sky Blues. The rest you know.
Good luck for new season, especially if you are lucky enough to get Chaplin.
I vaguley remember looking at it for two or three years from statements and hints from the boardroom .No idea what ours to be honest on just player wages alone, only the accounts what is paid as a total.
