Am genuinely sorry for their fans...don't let's start all the arguments about their scale of debt and FA Cup, please. Sometimes in the end it is best to start again...like a divorce, you just want the pain to end. A new club starting from bottom (though too late for this season) could put the fun back into their football lives again.
Instead of feeling sorry for the bell ringers, you should feel sorry for the man in the street who got shafted by them, local trades people forced to take f..all in the £, charities, and the tax payers. Twice in 2 years, enough is enough. Yesterday was the first time in 8 years they've played an honest side that they can afford, and what was the outcome?

Here's hoping that PST pulls the club out of the muck. Methinks that the last two years (plus of course the next couple years wandering aimlessly through the lower end of the FL) have twisted the knife deep enough. Probably better for their sake to start anew, but having stuck it out this long, I think that they've earned the quasi-victory of survival.

Why can't we feel sorry for both, they've both been shafted by crooked owners
Congratulations. With this post you've become the first person I've ever put on my ignore list.
I have got to quite like Pompey.
I think it is a British thing always supporting the under dog.
Enough of the banter and being serious for a moment I do hope the PST can succeed in gaining control of the club. It is the best thing that could happen for them.

This whole Pompey and liquidation saga reminds me of when i was a young lad and spent my Saturday mornings at the ABC Minors* watching a 3 hour programme of short films in black an white of cowboys and other heroes supposedley falling over a cliff to their deaths only to discover the next week that they had managed to escape certain death by some little trick or other and had lived to fight another day.
*When I was a boy most people only had a wireless, there were only a few wealthy homes with a TV, and so on a Saturday morning the local ABC cinema put on a show of short serial films from 9.00 until 12.00 especially for children hence Minors. The cinema would be packed with hundreds of children all having paid there 6d (just over 2p) to get in with 3d for a lolly.

I think Lord D should be very upset that Chainrai has (so he says) backed away. Ownership under him would've provided him with oodles of entertainment as his vampire like embrace slowly killed the club.
I just can't believe he would actually walk away and still see this as brinkmanship. I think any guilty pleasure some saints fans took at PFCs demise long ago turned into a mixture of disbelief, horror and then genuine sympathy.
Keep yer chins up chaps.

Any sympathy I may have for genuine supporters is massively outweighed by my disgust at the way that they have ignored the law, their own taxpayers, charities, players who signed contracts (they didn't write the terms) in good faith...they even failed to pass on the proceeds of a testimonial for one of their own players ffs!
It is a diseased and festering shell that needs to be put down and let those genuine supporters (and I do know a few) start a phoenix club from scratch. Sure I'll miss the derbies but even if they prove again to be the unflushable turd they'll be scratching around the lower echelons of the league and it'll be the same rare non-event that it was during most of my supporting life.
Nearly dead, not the least bit lamented from where I'm standing...it's too far gone from the rival we once knew - was that 'bought with stolen money' cup worth it?
For goodness sake.......let it rest. They have enough problems with out us rubbing it in. The whole saga is getting boring and even more boring with posts such as this.......Let it rest.........
It is a Forum as you suggest.......Your entitled to your opinion the same as me.......I, like the majority just feel it is time to put an end to the back biting regarding Pompey...that is all!!
