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

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.

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

      "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour

      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?)
