If a club meets the clause Barcelona can't refuse the bid. That's the whole point of buy out clauses.

They have a huge debt, and he's not worth £66 million. If anyone is stupid enough to pay it, Barcelona directors would probably be dancing in the streets.

Turns out Morgan actually wanted to buy the club for £61 million and become chairman. That would drastically devalue the club.

On the down side, we're gonna accept the Thai guy's offer

He wanted to up his share holding to 30%, which would be a controlling stake, then he could launch a takeover and make some changes to the club.

I think the Thai Prime Minister wants to do the same, but leave the running of the club to the current board.

I'm not really sure how the shares thing works, but Morgan definitely wasn't bidding to buy the club outright.

I dont WANT Anderton, legend though he is. I just reckon it'll be one of the promoted teams or us

Can't see Melchiot going to West Brom personally Someone bigger will come in for him.

Teddy Sheringham and Tim Sherwood are off in the summer.

Liverpool better beat the Toon this weekend I wanna see Villa in Europe again. I think we've got it in us to get a point off United so as long as Newcastle don't win we should be allright. Hopefullly qualifying will boost teh transfer kittty aswell cause 6 million ain't enough we've to buy too many players.
Mellburg's new 4 year deal is fantastic news our most reliable player by a mile.

Wouldn't be too worried about losing Harry. He's a shifty character, you can get a better coach who won't be so intent on signing loads of players and driving up the wage bill.

A West Ham supporter at Rajah says it's well known that Harry takes cuts on the transfers he does.

I really can't believe you said that.

It's be proven that Harry took a cut out of ONE transfer, the Rajah poster has blown it out of proportion, maybe he did take cuts out of more, but you cannot just assume that.

You get an extra £500,000 for every place in the league higher you finish, a lower wage bill would mean less quality, which means they would have been lower in the league, so that went along way towards paying for itself, as well as showing clear signs of the club progressing. It's all about gambles, and Harry's gambles have paid off, they are getting rid of Teddy and Sherwood, so that is reducing their wage bill, and I imagine that they are two of the top earners, which is clearly suprising as they are shit.

Fact is, if Milan has a problem with the wage bill, he should make Harry sort it out, not take matters into his own hands and fire Smith and another coach. Me not being a Pompey fan would argue that Smith hasn't done much this season or last, but Pompey fans (not just RBF) disagree, so clearly he does more then meets the eye. And Harry seems loyal to the guy, which is the only chance Smith has of staying, because of Harry's stance on this.

With all that being said, In My Opinion Milan isn't there to make enemies, he is over with the fans, and he is not going to let Smith go if it means Harry will take the walk to. Just my thoughts, but I think they will both stay.

If he goes, then bring back Terry VenablesAlan Ball.

I dunno. When he took over we were down the bottom of div 1 and he won us the division the next season and kept us up this season.

To be fair, although the wage bill has gone up, we've saved a great deal on transfer fees.

I dunno. Its just sorta come out of the blue.

Geoffry Richmond, Bradford's former chairman, is a toss pot. He ran them into the ground.

Leeds called him in earlier this season in some sort of consultancy role, the stupid dicks. Then when they realised he was a useless cunt, he tried to claim £2 million off them for doing nothing.

I just feel bad for their supporters. Not long ago they were a premiership club. Now they're on their way to div 2, their entire squad has been told to find new clubs and they've been chucked out of Valley Parade.

If Mandaric gets rid of him then he is a cockhead. Redknapp is the only reason as to why Portsmouth are still in the Premier League.

Bottom line is, it is Mandaric's money in Portsmouth, not Harry Redknapp's. Mandaric has backed Harry for all of his signings, and as cheap as they are, Portsmouth have an enormous wage bill for a club of their stature. They'd be ****ed if they got relegated.

Mandaric has a right to protect his investment as he see fits, and if he feels he can get a better coach that Jim Smith (who is no Marcelo Lippi) then he has a right to try and change things for the better. Harry did the same thing at West Ham: bought alot of players and sent the wage bill soaring. He wasted every penny of the £18 million fee they got for Rio Ferdinand.

Portsmouth have a good squad, but Mandaric can take as much credit from it as Harry Redknapp. They could find a better manager than Harry.

I still disagree. It might be Mandaric's money, but I do not think they can get a better manager. Who honestley wants to go to a club where they have to sell players, and can't bring any in (this is basically what you are saying), will be battling with relegation, and it is also some big shoes to fill.

Redknapp wasted every penny of the 18 million? Look at Veron at United, that was a waste, Liverpool have spent shocking money on shit people, all managers make mistakes. The board pressured Redknapp into selling Rio, and then he had to try and get a suitable replacement cheap, admittidley the 6million on Daily wasn't cheap and didn't pay off but Rio was irriplaceble to West Aam and the board knew that. But if Redknapp did that bad with his replacements, then how did West Ham come 6th in the league the season after he left, it was still almost the same team as his one. He raised players like Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, he is good at brining people through the ranks.

As for Mandaric taking as much credit as Harry? the way I see it, Harry should take more credit, Mandaric hired Rix as a manager, and that didn't exactly pay off, without Mandaric someone else would probably bankroll the club, without Harry Pompey would be at the wrong end of Division one.

I really would like you to list some better managers that then can get, bearing in mind any manager will want to bring in his own staff, and buy players, and Mandaric has made it clear that he wants the wage bill slashed, so hardly anyone will come in, and players must be sold first.

Manchester United can afford to spend big on world class players. If it doesn't work out, they won't go bust. Also, I think Liverpool could get a much better manager that Gerard Houillier.

There are a number of talented managers in the lower divisions who are well able to cope with a tight budget and difficult conditions. It doesn't help, really, that alot of Harry's signings are older players who command big wages but have no re-sale value.

I'm not a Liverpool fan but its clear to see that Houllier doesn't know what he is doing.
Signing players such as Diouf, Diao, Biscan, Heskey and Cheyrou shows that he is a terrible manager. These players have done nothing since they have arrived at Liverpool.

I'm all for Houllier going (I am a Liverpool fan) but he isn't a terrible manager. He has made plenty of really bad decisions for the last 2 seasons, which would justify a reason for sacking him, but prior to last season, the guy was turning the club around from the state Souness and Evans had left it in.

Also, Heskey isn't terrible, he is just hugely inconsistent.

I'll have to agree with Cheyrou, Diao and Biscan as they have been terrible. But with Diouf and Heskey he brought two players that have let themselves down.
It wasn't Houllier being a terrible manager as they were quality players, remember Diouf tearing apart the French defence in the last World Cup.
I disagree with most people, Heskey isn't a great player but his link up play is good with Owen and they make a good partnership.
What I hate about Houllier is that he has a tendency to buy players and play them in different positions that what there used to. Diouf was great as a striker, on the wing he's shown as quite poor. He tries to do to much.
Heskey has let himself down but once again why sometimes is he played on the wing? It's not his position.
For this look at Henchoz not playing in central defence.(I like the look of Carragher in the centre). The constant playing of a Defensive midfielder at central defence etc.
Plus with our fowards we've had no consistency because one of them is always injured, Owen being out for parts and Baros having a legnthy lay off.
I think Baros is a good player, every time I've seen him play he runs for everything and never gives up. We should play him more. Plus I liked the look of le Tallec and Sinima-Pongolle, they were just brought in to early. Houllier was pressurised into it by the French FA.
Good luck to Heskey if he goes to Brum, I hope he does well there and shuts up alot of his critics.

Harry Redknapp did way more than anyone could have asked of him in 2 years. He and Jim Smith together have done a blinding job and I can't believe they would even think for a second that splitting that team would be a good idea. They would have never survived the season without them both. They would have never had signed the players they did without them both.

His players don't have resale value? Those who don't didn't cost anything to start with so you never lost any money. Pay them until their deals expire and let them leave e.g. Teddy Sheringham (who did a great job for them).

I still don't think he'll finish next season and if he doesn't, Portsmouth are down.

Sheringham played well for the first couple of months, he has basically done nothing since then. He has been injured most of the time. Now Harry is talking about signing Martin Keown, who will again command a big wage, and probably spend most of the season injured.

Harry is a likable guy, and a decent manager, but it won't be the end of the world for Portsmouth. Mandaric has the ambition to cement them as a Premiership side, that's why he wants to get a better technical coach in (George Leekens, apparently).

They aren't going to collapse just because Harry Redknapp leaves. There is plenty of lower division managerial talent to tap if clubs take a chance. Everton did with Moyes, Southampton have with Sturrock.

I don't think anyone else is going to be able to organise that group of players better than Redknapp did personally. They need a British manager.

Oh yeah, and Paul Sturrock at Southamption will end in tears for the scummers.
