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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
