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...

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
