I met the "orange-skinned tosser" a couple of times. When you atually meet someone in the flesh you realise that they are 3-dimensional human beings with real lives and all the good & bad aspects of the rest of us .... except in his case. He is, simply is a total, 100% tosspot.

Oh I agree, Bobo. I've also met Jordan/Katie Price - the most self-serving, attention-seeking, dim-witted feck* that I've ever met. And I've even included the benefit of the doubt in there!bobo the clown wrote:Unfortunately I think him being on his uppers would make our good times seem a bit meagre.Bruce Rioja wrote:Apparently Palace's players didn't get paid last week either.

With respect, that's because you've only ever read about the guy. If you ever met him you'd realise that it's like having a shower with a load of 3 week old haddock.fozzy wrote:I actually quite like Jordan, as strange as it sounds.

He walks about surrounded by guys who think they're mafia hoods, breezes with everyone like a poor imitation of Tony Blair and makes weird intimations of threat to anyone he takes exception to. They are the lucky ones. The one's he likes have his personal slime effect poured all over them and he assumes he can pull anything he wishes. He wastes no opportunity, absolutely none, to let you know how rich & powerful he is and will slime over any woman daft enough not to run a mile from him (whether they're with a partner already or not, in fact ESPECIALLY if they are).
Otherwise, I take your point, he's a great guy.

I don't understand how they can not be in administration if they can't pay their players salaries! Surely the definition of Administration is a company that can't afford to pay its debts, they already are in default of tranfers payments due and as salaries are also a form of debt then they should be put into admin and docked 10 points! Don't quite understand how they are continuing to be afloat!
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

Very, very weirdly ... "some staff haven't been paid".
Some ? How does that work ?
That suggests tey've actually selected who gets paid or who doesn't (my money's on the main players getting their pay, while fringe players & backroon staff, including cleaners & tea ladies on basic earnings, haven't) ... unless the bank simply paid down the payroll instruction list until the money ran out. So that would be be determined by alphabet or NI/Pay Number. If it's that, then it's really serious as it means the bank are by now utterly at the end of their tether.
Agreed that this, given all the other fiasco's of this year, should have them being docked points. I suspect, however, that this relies on the term "bankrupt" and that's a very specific legal status which they've managed to avoid using so far. Maybe the FA should redfine it as being "are, or have been, managed by Harry Rednapp".

Imagine how Spurs fans must feel right now... They must be really worried he'll do one. Redknapp leaving a club is the footballing equivalent of the ravens leaving the Tower of London. Still, he might win them the FA Cup before he heads up the road to spend some of Man City's billions... Ha!

I have had the misfortune of being in contact with him briefly on a couple of occasions and I watched him operate. The man's a nice person of the first order. Him and Meggo would surely be a dream ticket - particularly if you could find a role for Barry Fry in the equation.bobo the clown wrote: Otherwise, I take your point, he's a great guy.

This 10 point penalty for clubs going into Administration.. Does this apply for Premiership teams, or is it just for Football League clubs? I know the Football League and the Premier League have some laws that differ, but I'm genuinely unsure
"I've got the ball now. It's a bit worn, but I've got it"
Off top of my head I think it's 9 points because of the shorter season.

Well, firstly "no shit, Sherlock" and secondly, did you not investigate the shambles they'd left before you bought into the place ??Portsmouth director Sulaiman Al-Fahim has blamed former manager Harry Redknapp and former owner Sacha Gaydamak for the financial trouble at the south coast club.

Anyway, at last someone with the details in front of him confirms what we've all known for years. Let's hope he throws the books to the investigators.

Good. The less money that man has to piss down the shitter the better. His win record pales in comparison to the amount of money he's spent and achieved only average sides. How he's got away with it over and over is ridiculous.boltonboris wrote:Redknapp has been told by Spurs that there'll be no money available to him in January, whether he sells or not

How the feck will he get him then? Or will it be a 'Redknapp special'*Redknapp is also chasing Lazio's Macedonia striker Goran Pandev, 26, who is available for between £3-4m despite being told by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy that there is no money for new players.

In general, no, this would be breach of contract. If they employer doesn't fulfill his part of the contract the employee can seek to end the contract. That would require some steps & can't be automatic, but they'd win.boltonboris wrote:I think it goes into months rather than weeks thoughLord Kangana wrote:Anyway, if the players are unpaid for a period of time, doesn't that mean they can break their contract and leave on a free?

Of course I can't see their contracts, but it's very unlikely to have a clause saying " ... & if you aren't paid youhave to put up with it"
