    Well I have.

    Look, I never said I believed it.

    Just passing on what I heard. I will lose more sleep about Bowyer not getting the VC today or the sack.

    All I care about is the club and we will see.

    It's clear everything isn't right at the club.

    Maybe the complete silence from the club hierarchy, the very early season ticket launch and the apparent departure of two of our highest earners are indicative of something.

    I repeat just passing on what I heard.

    Didn't read too much into but for me it could be a possibility.

    It's a forum and I passed on info.. if you can't handle it then fine. I am not saying I want it to be true but I don't see any plans for the future do you?

    I have one question for you and your source and it's a simple one. Who exactly is putting the club into Administration?

    As a help to you, there are only two possible answers! Let's see if you and/or your mystery source can come up with a meaningful answer. If you can't do that, I for one will know you're talking nonsense again.

    I have a further question
    Do Portsmouth know they don't exist after their three admins?

    Admin? Get a grip !!!

    I would probably go as far as saying that we’re in a very strong financial position - far more so than under the previous custodians.

    ‘Fans’ need to understand that spreading these types of vicious rumours, which hold absolutely no substance can be incredibly damaging for the club.

    The club shouldn’t need to release a statement every two minutes either, before someone suggests that they should.

    The club is damaging itself

    Rumours like this might be false but they come from failure or a lack of direction.

    I said it's something I heard.. I past it on in a forum. I never ever said that it's happening!

    When talk of getting rid of two players and not paying members of staff off, club highlighting no vision I am shocked people are surprised.

    Maybe, the club should make more positive statements, express a vision and these kind of rumours might not happen.

    It might be damaging if we were selling insurance.

    As it is, we're selling a product with a one-year expiry, and recoup the money up front.

    How is it damaging?

    I've worked for several companies, and if someone said 'they're going into admin', it wouldn't have mattered one jot to any of them. Is anyone in the world going to refrain from purchasing a season ticket 'just in case' they go under? Because if not, there's no danger of any damage.

    Loads of parking around Wrose, just a quick walk up the ‘hill’ from Shipley and the Wrose Bull, Bold Privateer and Lane Ends all close by.

    No chance.

    Last I looked Rupp had no charges on the club or it’s assets. He could sell for a couple of million, way less than he wants, but he’d get some money back. Admin he loses the lot. And who does the club owe substantial amounts of money to? Not been any winding up petitions heard that could indicate long standing unpaid debts.

    File under bullshit.

    I believe we have another 8 or so years rent to pay off we leave before the lease runs out.

    The club are contractually obliged to pay the rent until 2027 as I understand it. Leave and we still have to pay the rent. How does that save the club money?
