    What's your point? We're £90m in debt with the worst owner in our history who has divided fans with his ridiculous f**ing attempt to get his own way to the point of a clear split developing on the terraces bordering on civil war and actual hate. Portsmouth on the other hand are debt free and owned by the fans ensuring that they have a stake in the future direction of the club engendering a real spirit of togetherness akin to the original ideals of the formation of a football club.

    But never mind, we get to see Stevie G at the KC so it's all worth it. f**ing Sky watching, hype swallowing c**ts.

    When is a four letter word not a four letter word? When it's a two or three asterisk word!

    I don't know what the big secret is.

    Are you sure you don't work for Corriere Della Sera?

    They've also got integrity, something our disgrace of an owner can never buy. Ive said it a hundred times, i'd rather be Hull City in the Conference than Hull Tigers in the Premier League.

    Surely you'd rather be Hull City in the Premier League?

    Eh? Ive always cared what our owner wants - from Don Robinson through Chetham, Fish, Belton, Hinchcliffe the lot to the extent that I've self imposed a boycott in attending games while he's carrying on doing 'what he wants'.

    Go on then explain.

    If there's one person I knew wouldn't be willing to accept with this news...

    OK, I'll rephrase it so it makes more sense. If our owner doesn't want it, then surely since your against him, you do.

    Just for you son
    http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/06/portsmouth-supporters-trust-ownership

    "After years of painstaking work raising membership and money, the Pompey Supporters Trust and their partners, 11 local businessmen "presidents" who have invested £1.7m

    This should have you screaming, few choice quotes.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...in-McInnes-reveals-went-saviour-spat-fan.html

    "Iain McInnes knew his honeymoon period as chairman of the biggest supporter-owned club in the country was over when a fellow fan spat at him after a game.
    While the electronics entrepreneur who sank a chunk of his wealth into saving Portsmouth FC from extinction was disgusted to be on the receiving end of such abuse, he admits that only one thing really matters when it comes to football supporters.
    ‘You can be friendly, comfortable, have the cheapest tea in the league, the best beer and the nicest pies, and make everyone involved — but you know what?’ said McInnes. ‘If you don’t do it on the pitch, no one gives a toss.’

    For while they say they have been welcomed by many in football, there has been scepticism from some boardrooms that a group of fans could run a club — despite the fact the Portsmouth board contains City financiers, entrepreneurs and a commercial lawyer.
    And Brown, who works as an asset manager at IBM, has been shocked by some aspects of the game.
    ‘I come from a business world where governance and good business values are absolutes,’ he said.
    ‘To come into football and listen to people say that we can’t run our football club effectively, when I look at the way that so many clubs are being run — with no governance, no control and no good business practice — makes me think that you only have to look at individual skills of our board to say they’re wrong.’
    Where have i heard this before.....


    They've also sold the car park off to Tesco, wonder where that happened before???

    Sorry what's wrong with that quote? People said they couldn't do it just cos they're fans despite their skills, and he thinks they're wrong. What am I missing?
