Seems to be an awful lot of heat generated over the issue, and not much light.

I'm quietly confident that we will achieve resolution to this discussion very soon now.
Both sides seem open to counter arguments and seem ready to compromise.
And a lot of something else that rhymes with light.Seems to be an awful lot of heat generated over the issue, and not much light.
You almost sound like you don't believe the information given in the accounts.
No. What I want to know (which is another question you fail to answer, like 'where's the proof the Desso was needed?') is
a. who bankrolled the Desso? (you said above, you knew this)
b. how much for Murphy? (you said you knew this too)
If you don't know, that's okay Sean. It would be worth your while mind to admit you came out with a couple of fucking whoppers just to try to see me off, and that effectively, anything else that gets fired into your keyboard from now on needs to be taken with a pinch of salt and regarded as arsewipe.
Ah. So you do know? Is it McCabe? Is it the Prince? Is it you? Is it Selahattin Stabby?
pommpey
d. You don't know either.
e. Sean does.
f. Maybe he doesn't
pommpey
So, you lied. And you don't know.
It's okay to admit it, Sean. No one on here will think less of you feller. Honest.

The Desso pitch comment was obviously about your fixation with something you'll find was effectively paid for by someone else, certainly not you, by them bankrolling the losses. But again , bit of a dead horse, but the thread was about the rent. Which you don't seem able to accept for some reason.
Oddly enough being under contract for that length of time got United a better price.
I love the way you understandably have a downer on this but appear to read it in its entirety.
Anyway, seeing as it's descended into a lie fest by Pommpey it probably is the time to finally let it go.

Just a couple of quick questions on this. Are you saying that the purchase of the new pitch was the sole reason why Jamie Murphy went to Brighton? Or just, due to the proximity of events, that the two are inextricably linked?
And had we not installed the pitch, would we have been able to keep him in your view?
Well. Let's look at the evidence.
1. We install the pitch, closed season 2015
2. We sell Murphy when season opens 2015

I'm struggling with this one, Holmes.

I left the board because some posters were making veiled violent threats.

Cheers for replying.
So are you saying then that had we not installed the pitch, we would have been able to keep Murphy?
I don't think sufficient importance has been factored into the simple fact that Murphy wanted to go. He wasn't forced from BDTBL kicking and screaming, far from it. And he would have been at once mad and a pretty shit professional had he not wanted to go to the Championship. Taking into further consideration his having a pre-season with Adkins and the 4-0 at Gillingham, his reaching for a life jacket makes further sense. Sure he had a contract, but to think we could keep him under contract and expect him to perform in the knowledge he could up his money and play at a higher standard is frankly naive. The contract from a clubs POV is as much to ensure a selling fee as anything else and sometimes it's best to make a (very decent) return on investment.
You said it was 'paid for by someone else' by 'bankrolling the losses'.
I say if you know who, spill the beans. You mentioned the Desso, trying to be clever. I called you out on your assumed global knowledge. You apparently know fuck all, because you can't back up your proclamations. Um ... I think that's 'the end'.
Oddly enough, you are alluding you are so in the loop, you know that because he was under a new contract, we got a better price. I say 'what price'? I say, 'how much did his then recent contract signing improve the price'. You say 'I did not say that'. I say you're full of shit, and a little over indulged because you think you blind folk on here with your low-end accountancy blurb, but can't answer basic questions like:
a. Who bankrolled the Desso?
b. How much for Murphy?
Like I say, only a firm 'I don't know, and I was bullshitting' will suffice now Sean. You are hoist by your own petard.

Sez the man who talks about himself, in the third person.
A fucking psychiatrist's dream.
pommpey
Look ladies we now have one of the best playing surfaces in football at the oldest professional ground in the world and a better team than when Murphy was shying challenges .enjoy life and enjoy tufftys blades . utb ftp
The decision to install the Desso pitch was taken at the end of Cloughs first season when it was duly ordered
we had to wait 12 months as the contractors can only install a couple a season it was said it was to be paid out the profit from the FA Cup run. I think £850k was mentioned at the time
The Murphy sale had nothing to do with installing the Desso pitch
At the end of the day Murphy wanted to go to a decent Championship club to further his international career
Id shave the beard off if it itches
Rushed home from work did we? Straight back on here..... still obsessing about a football pitch.
Watch out they're all out to get you....
Don't talk stupid. We ordered the Desso pitch a full year before Jamie Murphy was sold and simply wrote the Desso guys an IOU that read "when we sell Murphy, you can have some cash" and from a business perspective they were over the moon with it.
What if Murphy had broke his leg that season? Would we have had to have cancel the order? is an IOU counted in the accounts or do they have to wait until it's cashed in?
Who told you that pal, Kev's lap dog?Im sure we would have had to pay some money upfront upon the placement of the contract the rest of the money would be due on satisfactory completeion of the work. Penalty clauses would have been inserted as the Desso company would have turned down / delayed other work to fit SUFC into their schedule
Pommpey's clearly still rattled from getting called out for calling United's performance on Saturday as "bobbah" from the comfort of the poop deck.
