Oh dear

the sh1t hits the fan again

 

This. The immediate reaction I had when I first saw it on the BBC website was to think, "What a joke!" but really it's serious. I just find it difficult to see Portsmouth ever finding credible owners who want to invest in the club for the long term because of their comparative lack of capital, such as infrastructure. As such, the only real long term solution I can see is for them to effectively write off their lofty position in the football league and build the club up again from the ground up. That way they can go what we went through in coming up from the bottom of league one, but possibly from a much lower starting point, and enjoy the ride as positivity once more takes hold of the club. For now it is a sad position for them to be in, and, as rivals, I think we should want them to do (reasonably) well in order that we maintain a healthy rivalry.

 

A Portsmouth FC spokesman that the warrant for the owners arrest wont affect the club and it is business as usual.
Does that mean they will keep spending money they havent got,and then shaft everyone they owe,by paying 20p in the pound again??

 

Obviously I hope they can get out of this (what's a rivalry with no rival eh?) but it's karma for the immoral cup run and league success - and karma's a bitch!

 

Already have.

Good old Pompey never disappoint, truly are the laughing stock of world football

 

I think you will find all our debts were paid Woops,and we were even good enough to not make you pay for your tickets a couple of years ago.
How is your new stadium coming along??

 

It is funny how our local rivals are just that; I think their crest would be recognised for all the wrong reasons in a remote Amazonian village.

Still, I wish them well as it's a great rivalry we have

It looks like a giant bedpan waiting to be flushed....kind of appropriate really...,

 

Chill out mush, it's just a bit of banter, there is no way that PFC will fold, they are like the turd that won't flush!
As for being the original Saints Alive, I have used the name since October 2009 on the old 606 and on here, I registered before you and have posted more than you have. If you don't like it you can always change your name, but i'm keeping mine.

 

Truly sorry for the confusion guys - I AM saintsalive & I aim to be constructive
& not insulting to other clubs or its fans - we all love this game & should respect each other.
Please do not confuse me with Saints Alive - I do not wish to be associated with
pathetic or insulting posts.
Hope you guys hear positive news on the ownership front

 

Southampton are completely debt free. Are Pompey?

 

The most accurate description of PFC that I have ever heard!

Well done that man.

 

Have to say that it was a while before I realised that saintsalive = saints alive. I used to read it as saint saliva...always thought it was a bit weird (even for not606).

 

Well said Fran.

 

You may have to change your forum name, mate.

 

Mandaric is in court over payments made to Redknapp via Redknapp's bank account in Monaco to avoid paying tax in Britain. That's it. That's a personal matter between him and Redknapp and does not change the fact that Mandaric got Portsmouth back on its feet after the club almost went out of business and got it to the Premier League while being in control of the finances. The later problems occured when Redknapp returned from Southampton and Gaydamak entered the picture then we went chasing the dream without investing in the facilities.
