Can somebody explain to a thick person (me) the difference between a funded and an unfunded administration?

Ones funded the other isn't??! :funny:

The funded one has a buyer lined up who is paying all costs during the process allowing them to function better. We didn't.

This. Brent didn't want to fund our admin.

Heaney and BIL did want to fund it but couldn't beyond the initial payment of £300k.

It's only a one month deal so my take on it would be he is using it as a shop window / keep his wages ticking over and getting match fit while he is in negotiations elsewhere.

At the end of last season he featured a number of times for QPR and stood out in quite a few matches so i find it unlikely he will be committing to Pompey in the long run unless they have a realistic shot at promotion, or are able to cover his wages. Either way it is short term benefit for both parties, Akos plays and Portsmouth have someone who will improve their results and give the fans something to be happy about.

Correct, I think. From what I've read, Pompey's manager will be amazed if Akos is still in his squad come February. Akos is also playing for Pompey for little more than expenses, I've read.

Re funded/unfunded admin, Southampton FC were an example of the former, I believe. They also came out of admin in July 2009 rolling in money, and had spent £3 million in the transfer market by the end of January 2010.

pompeys squad budget is being controlled at a max 65% of income, I would venture that many of the players are playing there for a fraction of the figures that are bandying around and hoping for the "shop window effect"

I'm sure most, if not all, of their players are on one-month contracts? Or am I making that up?

all their players are on 1 month contracts,hardly a good basis for consistency on the pitch but it is all the league will allow.

If so I wont donate a penny this time.

Does your little message at the end now need to be 'Former Wimbledon manager Terry Brown!?'

This is weird - all this time a large group of friends and I thought his name was Bukkake. It seems we made a big mess of it.

Ang on so if he's only on "expenses" and one month contract why did we not try to sign him, ambitious I know but he's been here before and may have said yes
