Have just heard a rumour coming from Fratton Park that PFC will go into administration this week. Not sure how reliable as all my contacts at the club now play for Spurs, however, would not surprise me at all.


They'll be the first Prem club to go under and will make things easier for other relegation threatened clubs by losing ten points. Not convinced however that they could contuniue trading this season.

You may end up being the first, we'll have to wait and see. But I'm sure if it did happen Pompey won't be the last, I'm convinced another "Leeds" is just waiting to happen.

Weird thing is a decade ago we were one of the best run clubs financially there was.

A succession of ground expansions, ill timed relegations and terrible chairmen/directors/financiers and credit crunch* have put paid to all of that.


We may not have quite done a Leeds (especially as we haven't even got a moment of near glory to remeber unless being cheated out of an FA cup counts) bit we're not a million miles off. :(


I suppose I should mention the woeful financial dealings of redknapp, Portsmouth and west ham? No coincidence there!!

Sadly they are just too wealthy - which is exactly why he is there.


The jury is out on whether Redknapp is entirely to blame. For him to sign the players on the ludicrous deals that he does, then some other idiot must be signing the cheques to pay them.


Our problem (PFC) was that our idiot owner (or his father) were flooding their (allegedly) dirty money through the club, then, when recession bites, it all stops. Not a very sustainable business plan. Compound this with the fact that the original Arab that bought us, Sulamain Al Fahim, was only trying to do so with Shinawatra's cash and you get disaster.


Hope it does not happen to the Hammers too!

You can't actually blame harry for our woes, but analysis of his reputation for canny wheeler dealing doesn't bear scrutiny and he did more harm than good overall.

Wouldn't have changed his time there for anything. Some great players and lots of ups and downs.

Nope, that's the fault of the Icelanders but he left in strange circumstances (*cough* Bung) having spunked away the then Massive ?20 million we got for Rio on a series of players who looked well past it (thanks for Titi Camara BTW) and some of whom had connections with agents who were close to him...er his other son (not Jamie) being a classic example. West Ham fans have mixed opinions on him but a significant minority think he is a thief and were not shocked by early morning police visits or the fact that he was a multi-millionairre way back when salaries were nothing like they are now...

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
