I went to the game as I live in Harrogate. I thought Pompey were sh8t. Two very good goals but other then that offered little and were lucky to narrowly win. They had about 600 up there which to be fair is a good effort for a game 280 miles away against a non league club which is on telly but they were very quiet, one or two PUPs but that was it, very poor support.

I’m still intrigued by the £20m transfer made to the parent company which showed on the 2018 accounts.

Similar operation cost to Bournemouth who have spent £133m more than they’ve made from transfers in the same period as we’ve made a profit.

Why are we the only club in the premier that has to?

£70m of pre tax profit in the last two years and we have to sell players to buy them. #selfsustainable

She also managed to sell it to a bloke who wasn’t allowed to buy a football club in England and convince him that the gravy train of tv money wojld never run out because you can’t be relegated from it. Maybe she is a far better business person than any of us give her credit for.

Our first team is utter sh*t Our u23s are utter sh*t We have no one in any position of authority That has a clue about football We Have made over £70m in profit in the the last two accounting years But have to sell to buy players Coaches are utter sh*t We’ve set record with our worst ever home defeat of all time and worst ever start to the season An owner they had to change the rules for so someone like him Couldn’t take over a football club In England again We’re paying back the loan at £20m a year that this x*nt took out to buy us Someone please tell me how this club isn’t rotten to the core now.

And she insisted he was the right person to take us forward. What an absolute joke.

There was a rumour going round when he bought us that he didn’t even know you could be relegated from the premier league. If that’s true then it’s no wonder we are such a mess

Why not?

And we’ve said that for every manager since Koeman The players are c*nts

You don’t know what you’re on about, stick to computer games

Everyone said the same when Puel, Pelllegrino and Hughes were here too. Maybe it ain’t the manager that’s the problem, these c*nts have fallen out with everyone whose been in charge of them.

A good manager working at a toxic club. No leadership from the top down. A group of players who are a bunch of arseholes. Feel sorry for him. It wouldn’t matter who the manager is, they’ve down tooled for the last four managers now, utter scum.

The reality is not a lot. It’s not like the old days of askham where we complain about the chairman and he can step down and be replaced by another local guy. To get Goa our we need to sell and people aren’t queuing up To buy premier league clubs these days I fully expect any Goa out campaign to be quickly extinguished by the club, with banners taken down and any insubordination given banning orders. Much like they’ve ejected loads of itchen north fans for being anything other than happy clappy. it’s almost like Our owner comes from a culture where like it or lump it is a way of life

It’s needs to be remember that the clubs pre tax profits dropped by £8.4m to just £35.2m last accounts so we should expect a lot of belt tightening.

Player of the season so far.

crystal palace, Watford, Burley FFS

Exactly. Yet Newcastle have spent over £00m more than they've earnt since 2014 and they've had a relegation in that too. Newcastle and Leciester both signed players for £40m this summer, yet we have to sell to buy and people say it's all due to agents fees and bonuses Here is the full list https://www.transferleague.co.uk/premier-league-last-five-seasons/transfer-league-tables/premier-league-table-last-five-seasons

Not one of, the lowest spenders, at least in terms of net spend anyway. Every other club who has been in the premier league for 3 years or more has spent at least £50m more than they've generated from sales.

interesting stuff, and had to be done. Who is driving this though? We don't have anyone in management with a clue about football!

Take it we are getting new first team coaches then?

To be blunt you could pick any club, it's just I consider them to be the Saints of the midlands, similar sized city, identical ground, similar history, aside from their one glory season. Burnley, Watford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace, Newcastle, West Ham. All been about similar times to us but all spent at least £50m more than they made from sales.

Sounds perfect, used to working on a small budget, he'll fit right in.

Its interesting to compare our spending to Leciester, almost an identical stadium, almost an identical income, they turned over £158m in 2017/18 v us at £152m, they have received £26m more than us in transfer fees in the last 5 years, £268m v £242m, but have spent £381m in that period v our £243m. So £112m more than they've earnt. Yes they had their one freak season but how is a club with virtually identical income and player sales able to spend so much more than they brought in but we cant?
