Come on....own up....which one of us was it...? :-)

It's all part of the Pompey 'bigger picture' circus IMHO. If Redknapp and Manderic were to be found guilty you could, arguably, trace the roots (morally or otherwise) of the 'Pompey Takeover Saga' back to the Manderic and Redknapp days. It's a big "IF" but still one big picture in my opinion.

Pearcesport James Pearce Back in Court. Over next few hours we'll hear the prosecution's case against Redknapp and Mandaric, who've both just returned to dock 2 minutes ago
