At least were in it to get hurt, unlike your mob who aren't and have only been in it once. That must hurt.

You did send me off to be honest!

On this occasion we are very happy to go into admin, not just because we were facing a winding up petition on Monday, but becaue we can now clear the toxic administrator Andronikou out of the club (Trevor Birchbwas appointed) and also, because the judge started to question the debenture of our previous "owner" Balram Chanrai. Our debt is tiny in footy terms (?4m) so this administration should be hugely beneficial to the club.


What has been going on in Pompey has been has been criminal and all down to Chanrai, who alleges he loaned ?17m to the club and uses this to be the main secured creditor, despite him having no evidence of the loan. This is the man that tried to pocket personally the money from the sale of Kaboul and who also failed to pay local charities money raised by the club on match days, presumably trouser ing this too.


So not so much of a sad day for us yesterday. Hopefully the start of something positive!

Are you being serious here? All relegation would do, is punish the fans, and none of this is their fault.

The thing is, this administration has nothing to do with unsustainable borrowing. Like I said, you need to be armed with the full facts. The football league are, hence their decision to only deduct ten points. The judge was also, hence his decision to bar Urnst, Hacker, Young as being the Administrators.


We have the smallest squad in the championship. Don't really say how we can be said to have borrowed irresponsibly. Money has been stolen from the club, systematically by one man over three years. Hence, no funds.


Honestly, someone should write a book about the corruption that has gone on at Pompey in the last 2 years. Starting with the "owner" the club had that never existed, but who still mangaged to pass the FA's fit and proper person test.

Could not agree more. Rangers were effectively using the government's money to fund player acquisitions and salaries over the last ten years. Rangers fans then suggest if Celtic win the title this year it will be tarnished. Neil Lennon suggested they turn the spotlight on themselves.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
