It's an absolute tragedy that Pompey might go bump. I remember being saddened when Aldershot went. Doesn't matter who they are, these clubs shouldn't be going out of business, it's a sport ffs. That includes Leeds, Liverpool and City btw. Well, maybe not City, especially after the last few years. |

There are so many things wrong with football now it's hard to know where to start. But surely having a League which is run and 'regulated' by it's members is the biggest of the lot. The owners want leveraged buy outs. They want huge levels of debt. What they don't want is real regulation (like we had for a century) which prevent clubs from becoming little more money printing factories. The game me sick tbh. |

Re: Portsmouth
Ridsdale should've gone to jail for malpractice or something. Fraud maybe.
Gambled with the clubs money and future as if it was his own to lose and he could afford it, almost Nick Leeson-esque, managing the club with no responsibility. Obviously, it was entertaining and gratifying to witness given who it was, but if you take a step back, it should never have bee allowed to happen. |

It's sad and all, not saying it's not, but their mere presence in those two cup finals was basically down to signing players on wages they couldn't really afford. |

pompy where not much better "Now, I am not suggesting it is Utaka’s fault that Harry Redknapp forked out £7m to bring him to Pompey from Rennes in 2007, but that fee will remain a millstone around his neck. So will the £80,000 he takes home every week, a figure which represents a massive chunk of Pompey’s trimmed-down wage bill". http://www.caughtoffside.com/2010/09...-dying-career/ |

Re: Portsmouth
I don't understand how football, which essentially is quite a good money making business, manages to attract so many idiots who £#%&! it up.
The same thing hardly happens in other sectors? Bolland doesn't take over at M&S and all of a sudden they're bankrupt. Madness. |

The Nick Leeson comparison is spot on. But again, no one really seems to care. Thaksin Shinawatra owned an English football club ffs |
