That's what I was thinking.

I don't know what is most amazing, the parlous state of Portsmouth's finances, or the fact that Spurs want to resign an utterly shite player they sold to Pompey, for an absurd ELEVEN MILLION POUNDS.

I heard today that their OS was down for a while as they didn't have the dough to pay their hosting company.

The most amazing thing is that Portsmouth want £14million for him.

He's in my fantasy team unfortunately.

It shouldn't be right, but apparently it is.

something is awfully wrong there, OK they are being asset stripped, however Levy is no fool and has stopped Harry on thngs like this.

For Levy this must smell especially as it well know Spurs have to sell, unless Keane to us !!

The number of transactions between Spurs and Portsmouth of late is certainly interesting.

well old manager syndrome but Levy is very cute in deals and no way would he pay £11m for a player they sold for £4m, who has not improved, from a club desperate to sell.

That would be basically giving a bunch of very dodgy people who now control Pompey £7m or more for free

Mirror is reporting £ 6 Mill plus some keeper. Sounds believable. They are probably just taking the player back and writing off the outstanding payments.

What's interesting is that the Chief Exec and the manager don't know about the sales of two of their better players.

So who did Harry 'I'm innocent me guv' Redknapp contact?

Peter Storey is his mate

I can only guess someone else offerred Kaboul to Spurs and Redknapp knew this was behind Storey's back

or Storey is lying to claim for constructive dismissal

Who will it have been who called the administrators into Crystal Palace? I assume Simon Jordan, but anyone know any different?

If that were the case, he must surely have been fully involved in the ongoing discussions as regarded Victor Moses' potential sale and know the damage going into administration would do to their selling position and promotion challenge. Suggests that the club is in MASSIVE problems if in spite of this impending injection of £2.5 million, he still took the decision to hand them over to the administrators.

The bank usually have the final say when it comes to appointing Administrators - if they think their investment is at risk.

That programme on Sunday mornings on Sky with the tabloid journalists discussed this, the smirks and hints at 'a big story about to break' would seem to indicate that its not only suspicious on internet boards.

If I recall, it was the Hedge Fund owners that own Palace and they called the administrators in.  At lease that was what Warnock was suggesting.  They were hoping to get closer to £5 million for Moses but as soon as they went into adminstration pretty much had to accept any reasonable offer.
