What a great write-up that was, and shows how differently some clubs get treated. Carlisle had to cut their cloth accordingly, while Pompey seem to be allowed to just march on as the biggest spenders of whatever division they find themselves in.

Who would have guessed it? Any attempt for Chanrai to take control should be ignored. Even if it leads to their demise.
You can guess what is going to happen though...

After their spat last week when Appleton badmouthed his potential new owner & Boss, it appears 'Appy' is prepared to kiss & make up with Chainrai.
BBC Sport - Portsmouth boss Michael Appleton will work with Chainrai
Makes sense. Be daft to undermine any claim for breach of contract or unfair dismissal further down the line........

Pompey find a new way to pay off debts.
Meanwhile, away from the lunacy of deadline day to an ongoing lunacy down the coast:
The Pompey Paupers have found the perfect solution to ease their financial woes. They want all your old mobile phones for resale or recycle.

Trevor Birch and Balram Chainrai will be setting up a pasting table at a Sunday Boot Sale near to you very soon. Dig out all those old bricks everyone. Do your bit......

Raising funding for worthwhile causes
How the f*** is Pompey more worthwhile than the RSPCA or ovarian cancer research or the other charities they are partners with?
So not only do Portsmouth rip off the St John and other local charities by going bust twice, they now are looking to steal money from charities that have had no dealing with them.
They need to do the honourable thing, stop blaming everyone else for their debts, face up to the fact they are bust and at least do a Rangers, but preferably a Halifax, Chester, Aldershot, Telford, Wimbledon, Maidstone, Newport and start from the very bottom again

Thought this saga couldn't get any more farcical? Think again. Although not directly linked to the ongoing drama at PFC, you could not make this up re Chainrai. Maybe Chainrai wanted the PFC parachute payments to renovate this clapped out Ferris Wheel?

Quote from that report: The wheel will be run by a new UK operations company Wheel Operations Limited. What an inspiring original name? I bet they spent many days in Think Tank meetings to come up with that name?

Will be impressive if the Supporters Trust can get a deal with Chainrai.
Chainrai is owed £17m by the club and holds Fratton Park as security but the PST has offered him £2.75m to relinquish his hold on Pompey

Why on earth would a consortium want to buy them though, or would they still look to olny pay 2p in the £? (which would reduce the £61M debt down to a more manageable £1.2m)

Meanwhile, just when you thought all the drama down the road had gone rather quiet lately - Its all turned a bit spiteful & bitchy between the two rival consortium's today.

The article keeps quoting 'return then to their glories'. Their only glories were way back in the 50's as far as most football fans are concerned.
