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...

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
