    Bet this gets a lot of hits. Ben Haim suing Portsmouth for 1.4 million of unpaid wages. He was on 36,000 per week!! This is how they got into such big money trouble and a lesson to other clubs about not running before you can walk. Let's remember this when NC appears a little tight-fisted. Interesting point though: a commentator on Sky seemed to think that Pompey fans would consider their FA Cup success and European adventure was worth their present struggle. Only their fans can answer that one.

    Their fans may use their FA Cup win against us in the number of trophy stakes but I believe the majority would much prefer to still be in the Premiership with a more affordable team and no FA Cup win, without having had to go through the turmoil they have.

    This news cheered me up no end on a really wet miserable Sunday.

    That shady lot could not organise the proverbial.

    Some little bird told me that Pompey turned a profit last year so how could this guy be owed a Salary, let alone £1.4 million!!! Under the law Salaries have to be paid one way or the other. Something ain't adding up yet again.........

    Beddy, also don't forget they haven't started paying the CVA yet. It seems all they have done is postpone the debt as much as possible for the sale. It'll be interesting to see if the new owners do the same or start paying the debt off.
