    Just how I feel, we have spent no-where near the Bent & Henderson money, not to mention the Sky money,

    Has Short actually put much in ?...seems that we have recouped as much, if not more, than we have spent since he bought the Drumaville guys out, now they did put money in !

    Good point, never looked at it that way, food for thought.

    We were £25 million in debt last year. When we recoup the whole of the Bent money, it will just pay off our 2010 debt. We got £16 - £19 million for Henderson - and paid out £8 - £12 million for a kid from Ipswich and a another load for a kid from Korea. Ellis short is trying to make SAFC a going concern, and those who don't will surely collapse at some time.

    What's the alternative, man - another Portsmouth? Because, let's face it, every EPL club is now looking over their shoulders at that - Pompey was an island of reality in an ocean of dreams. I'm with Ellis Short, full stop.

    We are still suffering from Keane's wasteful years...Remember, short is a business man not a charity.

    Absolutely winless arguement this mate, you dont how much it costs to run a football club with wages, maitenance etc.

    Im not going to go into figures because nobody will have them right except Short.

    We have rid the debt and bought players such as Sessegnon (£6m million), Whickham (£8-12), Gardner (£6 million), Brown & O'shea (£6 million).

    Added to the fact we owed Spurs money for Bent and the money from Villa for Bent is being paid in installlments, to question Short's financial backing to our club is ****ing lunacy!!
