    I can understand the fans wanting the club to survive but the odds are massively stacked against you now.

    It is truly horrific what has happened to the club and I wish you all the best.

    Tw logical thing would be to start again and invest all the PSTs hard earns money on the Phoenix club, the would be a more admirable way.

    But at the same time of it was my club I wouldn't want to see it go until it was impossible.

    But BC will suck the club dry if e takes over and PST simply wouldn't be able to afford the running costs long term.

    All I can say is all the best and in one way or another, the future will be finalised very soon.

    Let the current club die. Start over in the Southern League like AFC Wimbledon. Get the fans on board so at least 2000 turn up every week and buy in the best players of that level to guarantee promotion each year. Ground share with a local League 2 team like FCUM do with Bury.

    In 7 years you will be back in the Football league, debt free and on the up, free from the vultures and bastards

    Best of luck

    If the worst happens that will be the way forward from the 2013-14 season. Hopefully the new club will be allowed to join the Southern League Division One South and West (level 8) rather than in the Wessex League (Levels 9 and 10)

    RLGB, you just said "#savepompey is trending on Twitter.

    Swear some people just do not understand what has happened and how seriously embarrassing the club is..."

    You've changed your tune?

    Rickie, you are a Weathervane. Predominantly from the south west, but with occasional blusters from nor nor east.

    I always try to be polite, when I'm being rude.

    You don't much like Rickie, do you Mr. Nice ?!

    For a Saints fan he does seem to spend a lot of his time on the PFC site, starting various threads which mostly, whilst I'm sure (hoping) are well meant, do tend to annoy a lot of Pompey fans, mainly because they come across as a bit "mightier than thou" and supercilious.

    You would think that following his team's well deserved promotion to the promised land (Premier League), that he would spend most of his spare time on their site...........wouldn't you ?................

    I was just entertained how on our board he was happy to claim you're an embarrassing team that deserved to evaporate (hence disagreement with the #savepompey thing) then comes on here with a completely different face on. He probably spends most of his time on here because on the Saints board people openly mock him for being condescending.

    Ok well as soon as you waste your time trying to find some sort of evidence then I will listen.

    But Dan has been picking fights with a lot of people lately...

    I have cousins who support Pompey so I know a lot about the subject and am a keen football fan in general.

    I do think what Pompey has done is embarrassing and wrong, but then so do the level headed fans too
    It's not the fans fault when it is down to the management.

    Don't intend to annoy. Never seen much point in it myself (unless it's adambanana ;) )

    We are all entitled to opinions and they will always upset someone, I really wouldn't worry about. None of us are perfect. Including football clubs.
