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...

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By alice · Posted

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
