This has got to be one of the best quotes of the week - from the Guardian: Quote of the week The Football League – defending their fit and proper person test after Vladimir Antonov's arrest on fraud charges put Portsmouth back in administration, eight months after they cleared him. The League say Antonov tricked the test – designed to screen out potentially dishonest or fraudulent owners – by supplying it with "at best misleading, and possibly fraudulent" information. Antonov denies wrongdoing.
To the OP, no I havn't had enough yet. I don't want my football club to fold (surprise). Give me more suffering, to the very end. PUP
I have asked a similar question before and received similar responses-only natural. With the general opinion being that there is worst yet to come when the new administrator starts shuffling through the affairs of andronikou. (I'm imagining a filing system similar to average joes gym in dodgeball) this will undoubtably sully the name and reputation of the club even more. Would any fans consider cutting their losses early and starting a transparently run club at the bottom, like FC United of Manchester? Whatever my allegiance, good luck for the future.....may it be based on all things round and bouncy and not board room shenanigans...!
The one thing about plan B would, it would regain respect from everywhere. You only have see the warmth exhibited towards AFC Wimbledon to know you would be well regarded, but I am sure that most fans would prefer a different outcome provided it was sustainable. Oh, and anyone else quoting Bill Spokeshave will be Bard!
To a degree....I'm glad I'm now living abroad and can't go to matches. Like Mike said, the idea of lining some parasites pocket with my hard earned is frankly a little sickening. I just hope we can get someone decent and honest to buy in.....a Dave Whelan type of character would be perfect. But knowing Pompey's luck were more likely to get another shady character who passes the FAPPT with flying colours.
That would be great XLP - but Chan the man's debenture will stop any sensible businessman dead in his tracks. £17m for a bit of land worth probably half of that? I don't think so.
