    Without doubt the defining image of London 2012. Two of these games' greatest Olympians, paying tribute to Marvin Sordell and Gary Lineker.

    Sorry! There are just certain clubs that don't learn, and Hampshire has two of the three worst offenders.

    We have a habit of spending ourselves into a hole and taking several years to get back out of it, but provided that everyone gets made whole again and that those in need get paid promptly, there's no issue. Every club has the occasional bad egg of an owner, but the difference is that Pompey and Saints (as well as Leeds) have cultures, spanning many years, of going two or three steps beyond the very modest standards that other clubs generally adhere to.

    Am I missing something here? As far as I can tell, Chainrai promised to take over the club on the condition that every last player was released. This has been achieved. Now he is walking away?

    Is there any way of going any further with this argument without defaming an entirely innocent man?

    While I wouldn't argue with the criticism of the two clubs I do take issue with the assumption this has something to do with Hampshire as a county. It covers a considerable area...includes towns like Winchester, Basingstoke, Petersfield...and most of its residents do not think of themselves as having anything more to do with Southampton and Portsmouth than they do with Brighton or Bournemouth. It's a bit like assuming any criticism of Watford is a criticism of Hertfordshire. So there you are, it shows how the newest residents are sometimes the most sensitive...:laugh:

    I wonder if this issue was the main reason: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11674/7984047/Chainrai-urges-admin-fee-cut

    Fair point. I'll be more careful to use statements such as "Hampshire's league clubs" or "Portsmouth and Southampton" in future.

    Although while we're on the subject of counties, more Olympic golds came from Hertfordshire than from Spain, Brazil, South Africa or India.
