I would say Les has got it spot on its debatable wheather he should have said it to the press tho` I think it would take a lot for KK to walk away from us BUT if he does the blame will lay with Ashley and his band of merry men.I reckon Owens new deal will be a key factor in this I would say if Ashley would have told Kev that this was the way he wanted to run the club he wouldnt have taken the job

Yeah, we are worrying about nothing. We will sail through the season without picking up any injuries/suspensions so all we need are our strongest 11 players(which incidentaly still wont be good enough) I`m more positive now, thanks

I said somewhere before, Ashleys company is doing shite & he also lost a shedload on the stock market, as a result of this we are suffering IF he doesnt want to splash the cash on transfer fee`s and wages then in the interest of the club he should look to recoup what he paid and sell to someone who has the cash to invest in the team It`s pretty obvious he doesnt as he was looking for outside investors the other week

Yeah but by the time the window closes we could have already been beat by Man U & Arsenal You think buying 3-4 players will change that? It might mean we wouldnt get a caning, I also said that Bolton & Hull wont be bankers either which you choose to edit out The fact of the matter is we are short on numbers and have limited quality and zero creative midfield players plus our best strikers are injury prone. In reality if Ashley was ambitious for the club to succeed we would have had 8 or 9 in by now, Jonas & Gutherie hardly strenghthen his case

You might be happy with the way things are going so far but I`m worried. We needed players to come into the squad and have a full pre-season with the lads. We are either going to panic buy and end up with the wrong players or not sign anyone We are going to get players who the top for and Spurs dont want We will be competing with Pompey,City,Everton and Blackburn for players and do you trust Wise and co to sell the club to them??

Yeah but by the time the window closes we could have already been beat by Man U & Arsenal and the games against Bolton & Hull are hardly bankers with our current players. Some teams can afford to buy late and then allow their new players to settle in, we cant. KK wanted players before pre-season, it didnt happen and I dont blame him one bit. The buck stops with them at the top

I dont think he will take a pay cut & why should he when he can go for free next year and no doubt get the same wages as a club wouldnt have to pay a penny for him Ashley should stop being a tight cunt and give him the money plus pay the fuckin going rate for other players we need rather than fucking our chances for the season before a ball is kicked

So its three weeks tomorrow before we kick off against Man U and to be honest I`m far from thrilled by what has happened since last season finished, with the exception off getting shot of Carr We have our second pre-season game today and neither Owen or Martins will not play any part, Viduka is still crocked(which is something we will no doubt be getting used to), Jonas cant play due to registration issues. So our front two will proberbly be Smith & Ameobi which is a complete joke Owen is quoted as saying he is three weeks behind and Vid wont be around for a few months, so if Oba gets a knock then we are stuck with a shite pair of strikers for the first 4/5 games and then Owen/Vid will need games to get "match fit" Jonas will proberbly need some time to find his feet Barton is going to take to get back into it We still have issues at the back We should have had players on board before the pre-season games to give them time to bond with the squad and get used to KK Once again we are handicaping ourselvs before we have even kicked a ball, great start eh??

Milner/Zoggy/Barton/Butt any two of that four fails to excite me, sorry. Aimar was a bad miss and Ashley needs to dig deep and sign someone to deliver the ammo for Owen/Martins & Vid

You been sniffing glue? Get a grip son, he is wank

Gotta be Redknapp, Took Pompey from near relagation to Europe and won the F.A. cup en-route. I appreciate most Northerners hate southern cunts but Redknapp is a quality manager and has a frecord to back it up, fact!! I would have has him over KK as our manager, no disrepect to KK but Arry is more switched on than Kev

Warnock?? Loosing out to Benfica for Aimar Gutherie and Jonas in for next to fuck all (cant say I had heard of Jonas & Gutherie wasnt a name many toon fans would have shouted about) I think this shows our ambition for the coming season. Owen yet to sign a contract, Zoggy not settled and continued talk of Oba leaving plus Ashley not willing to fork out for wages, I think we may struggle a bit this year unless things take a dramatic turn for the better OH, at least Taylor signed a new deal lol

It's hilarious how much stick the previous chairman got for talking us up in the papers at every opportunity, spunking our money on complete bags of shite, paying unproven youngsters ridiculous amounts, borrowing and borrowing to deliver no success, spending nothing on the academy or scouting, not communicating with fans and charging ridiculous amounts for friendlies and cup games. Now the new man has taken positive steps in EVERY one of these areas, the majority are still pissing in their pants because we haven't spent as much as Spurs with 2 months to go until the season starts. As far as I can tell Leazes is the only one that has any right to be complaining, and to his credit he seems to be keeping his opinion to himself until the transfer window has panned itself out. So you are happy then. Well some people are easy to please

We should have been in for these players BRFORE the euro`s, anyone with half a brain knows a few half decent performances will result in outrageous transfer/wage demands I will be surprised if we sign anyone with a proven name let alone hang onto Owen & Oba Does anyone have a clue WTF is going on??? Has Ashley spunked the transfer budget on the stockmarket & in the casino???

With Emre,Rozy out the door and talk of Ameobi and Milner following them it will be interesting to see who we get. I dont think there is any chance of big names coming in and must admit I`m not confident we will be attracting the type of players who will enable us to push the top 6 Spurs are stating their intentions, Redknapp will pull some transfers out of his arse. Any players that the top four want we wont get a sniff off. Hughes will have money to spend at City so where does that leave us. I reckon we need at least 8 or 9 players if the above is true I thought Owen and Oba`s new contracts would have been sorted out by now

Fuckin` Hell, dont offer Emre with the deal, We will have to pay them to take the injury prone little shit off our hands Also if we spunk a load of cash on him before the Euros knowing our luck he will get crocked and his first season will be spent in the treatment room, at least Emre could keep him company!!

I agree that Smith has been seriously dissapointing and does earn his place on the "Shit List" Enrique on the other hand has been improving under KK and I think after pre-season he will be even better Most of the team played shit under the fat-man FFS he could have made Ronaldo & Ronaldinho look average

Load of Bollocks I reckon although should Zoggy be stupid enough to pick a fight with anyone the Faye shouldnt be at the top of the list, I think most of the lads would give him a kickin` with the exception of Duff

Owen to Japen , great story that. What a joke

You can Ashleys point tho`, Players like Santa-Cruz,Bentley,Arteta,Cahill,Valencie etc have moved to smaller clubs for average fee`s and he`s gotta be thinkin why should I spunk £15-20m on one player when I could get 3 or 4. Got to take your hat off to Hughes for gettin Bentley,Santa-Cruz and McCarthey for near bugger all Plus our best player this season wasnt a big money star player, I`m talkin` Beye

The thing in our favour, proberbly the only thing, is he will start every game when fit plus he is captain. As you said I would be gutted if he went but more-so if he went for F.A. next summer

If its true he will go, same if Chelsea,Arsenal or the scousers come in for him

He`d fit right in at Newcastle, wouldn`t bet against it. Piss off!!!!!!!!!

Dunne Lescot Bentley Young Arshavin Pallacious Santa-Cruz Thanks Mike

I dont think £15m is too far off the mark for Bentley and Blackburn tend to be a selling club
