[Archived] Other Pl Happenings 2009/10

Work with a load of Bolton fans - 5000 of them went to Wolves away and for the entire the game they were chanting for Megson to be sacked!

Not good times for them - leave it much longer and it could be too late for them.

5000 ? it must have been free then!

5000 ? it must have been free then!

They must have been doubling up, as you don't get anywhere near 5000 in the lower tier at the Custard Bowl.

Rumours going round that Pompey are finally going to go into Administration.

No great surprise if it happens.....

[bennyboyt11]

There entire accounts staff have been laid off this morning, which is what Southampton did just before they went into admin too...

Rumours going round that Pompey are finally going to go into Administration.

Here's hoping!

Financial problems galore now:

- Fulham have circulated five polayers around the leagues for transfer trying to cut their wage bill.

- Pompey are in a desperate bid to avoid administration

- Palace could face a mass walk-out if wages are not paid for November by 14 December as Simon Jordan has run out of cash. I saw Neil Warnock on the tube last week complete with wife and lots of Christmas shopping. He was wearing a blue and red shell suit with blindingly white trainers and was scowling at anyone who looked like they might have recognised him... and picking his nose. Altogether not an appealing sight!

[Majiball]

Please add Hull to that list Philipl, they are screwed.

Found this on the BBC, no wonder he most likely won't get the top job.

Premier League newcomers Burnley have a new fan - Prince Charles. Royal insiders claim the 61-year-old was "over the moon" when the Clarets beat Manchester United and "sick as a parrot" after they were beaten 2-0 by Portsmouth.

Add Man U to that list - are not the Glaziers struggling to refinance a loan for when they bought the club - turned down twice I heard.

[Hughesy]

United are different though, they are a massive, successful global brand - their will always be a buyer out their for them...Pompey & Hull im not so sure!

West Ham is in absolute shambles economically too. Straumur just managed to secure an extension to its debt moratorium, but will have to sell sooner or later in order to secure some assets to the company's vast amounts of creditors.

Watford is also struggling heavily at the moment.

West Ham are in serious trouble unless they are taken over, even with the cost cutting they are still running out of cash....

I'd say the media have 'over-egged' Hull City's financial state - I think it was The Mirror who posted an apology after saying the debt was £23 million, when in fact is only £9 million - which isn't massive for a Premier League club. About 7 fringe players will be gotten rid of in Janurary though.

I'm sure that'll be a laugh at the palace - isn't Camilla a Rovers fan? I'm sure I remember reading she sacked off some ball with Charles in order to stay at home and watch Blackburn Vs Celtic on the box.

A perfect fit. The royals have been knobbing their own relatives for centuries.

Sullivan & Gold bid for West Ham

Also - Not premier league but looks like QPR have found an exuse to sack Magilton.....Suspended pending an investigation

[bennyboyt11]

Not Premiership but related to Rovers in a way... Henk Ten Cate sacked.

Not quite sure as to how that means we have financial problems, those players have only played three games this season.

The man lost 4 games out of 49 during his time there... Different sacking-culture.

Who're the 5? I'd heard something about Simon Davies.

It's been reported that it is Elm, Seol, Kallio, Stoor, Johnson

As I stated in another thread; buying a whole heap of unknown players, giving them no time on the pitch whatsoever and paying them quite handsomely equals classic Roy Hodgson to me. How do you as a Fulham fan see his skills in the transfer market? And do you think there's any hope for those five players to succeed anywhere else?

[they_think_its_all_rover]

Ah right, I heard a rumour about Simon Davies, then I got told about a 'possible future signing' for Hull City who was in the Weir Bar in Hessle with Jimmy and a few other players a couple of weeks back and was told by someone else it was a Fulham player, so put 2 & 2 together.

Players that would be greeted with a chorus of 'Who?' when they made an appearance. Classic Roy Hodgson.

Chelsea set to be without Michael Essien until early February

Chelsea set to be without Michael Essien until early February

Huge blow for Chelsea, they missed him badly last season and i think they will do again this time around. This could cost them the title.

[tcj_jones]

Fortunately for Chelsea, their run of fixtures up until 7 February (when they play Arsenal) are relatively easy.
