Jack Compton I recognise that name. Did he used to play for our yoof team?

We signed him on a short term contract a few years ago but he never played a match for us.

Read today that they're also about to sign ex Palace midfielder Tom Soares. His career must have really gone down hill, he was supposed to be very promising and he can't be very old now.

There are some decent players for league 1 in that list considering their predicament.

Mustapha Dumbuya? That just about sums up the whole club (must have a dumb buyer) oh please yourselves...

Brian Howard is a fantastic footballer. Him going there is a massive shame. Also, Portsmouth waiting to play the Plymouth game for sympathy and then bring in a team of players is a pretty poor tactic in my opinion.

Err, how are they paying all these people exactly?

 

[brightn'ove]

I hope they are plagued with injuries due to a terribly kept fratton pitch (can't afford to pay groundskeepers) and they still have to play their youth side while still wasting wages, and get relegated. Repeat x2 and job done.

That is stunning!

Could have 5 ex Palace in their team by Monday.

Izale McLeod is the type of player who could done a job for us, even now. Good signing.

Behave. What had a few too many this evening?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I assume that signing on fees have been waived and their wages have been deferred or am I missing something?

They are on one month contracts

Hope the club survives, we can remember when we were almost out of the league,would not wish that on any club

Loads of clubs almost fall out of the football league. Loads of clubs do fall out of the football league. Some come back stronger, some don't make it back. Remember that we almost fell out of the footbakll league, because we did not run up a debt of over £100m. Falling in to League One should be the least of their worries.

Ignoring the fans, the club (as an entity), do not deserve to be in the football league. Their crass spending has deprived another club the chance to replace them. I hope they do disappear. I reckon the proper fans will have some fun in their newly formed team.

Maybe a landmark bankruptcy will help to bring some sort of reality to the rotten and godforsaken game.
