Pompey Takeover Saga

So how many times have the HNWI actually 'dipped' into their pockets since the trust gained 'ownership'?

It seems a regular occurrence.

It seems a regular occurrence.

I would love to know what happens when they say enough is enough,

They become villains.

Talking of that, nice to see Matty Taylor doing his best to relegate another club.

We have a vital penalty, tell you what, let's get a bloke who hasn't scored one for five years to take it!

And I also saw Jamie O'Hara looking like a fridge freezer squeezed into a shirt playing for someone irrelevant the other week.

His career is on fire.

It's the history that counts

In another ten years they'll still be going on about it

Maybe we should point out to them that it's officially the most one sided derby in English football, and that's in our favour

As Bmf go up....they are left more and more isolated.

As Bmf go up....they are left more and more isolated.

They might have little old Eastleigh to play with next season.

Barring massive GD swing, South Coast derby! Pompey may get derby with team from SO postcode!

Little Ol' Bournemouth - on the brink of exiting the football league just a few short years ago to now joining the Premier League. Surely a bittersweet moment for fatpipes fans serving as a beacon of hope for what can be achieved whilst at the same time reminding them of their increasing insignificance in the South Coast football pecking order.

Of course, they'll all be b'muff fans for at least two days next season. Something for them to look forward to at least.

I had to chuckle last night when the commentators on Solent were talking about Whatmough possibly playing for the Cherries and how that's not going to happen now they are in the PL.

This video must have made it onto this thread at some point but just incase it hasn't, enjoy.

I've seriously never cringed and laughed so much,...the. I read the comments.

Portsmouth Schools FA were asked for £3,000 to stage some finals at the Cardboard Coliseum.

Their brass neck knows no bounds considering two schools in the area were owed £15,000 and £11,000 respectively for use of their facilities by their school of excellence in their last administration, (not to mention the £41k King Edward's were owed).

Doesn't do much for their standing as a community club.

Also, it looks as though they might lose Jed 'the blue-shirted Messi' Wallace for peanuts as he has a £275,000 release clause in his contract. Another desperate negotiating punt as they banked on getting promotion this season.

So of all the professional clubs on the south coast from Brighton to Plymouth, which is the lowest ranked?

Ouch! That must hurt.

Ouch! That must hurt.

Not at all, not at all, because you see football was invented in Portsmouth and in 1911 they beat us 27-0.

Solid grasp of what a release clause is.

What's more alarming is the supposed Saints fan posting as 'historyishistory' and being a total bellend.

Agree, I well up for people going on there and winding them up, but try and make it look a bit cleverer than the ramblings of a 5 year old FFS !

I'm amazed he's valued at his release clause price anyway. He's an average player playing for a below average team in the bottom division.

He made the Division 2 team of the year, to be fair, and is only 21. I can believe that a Championship team would tale a punt om him at that price.

Thing is, Matt Ritchie never looked that good when he was there. Look what some decent coaching can do...

Doubt they'd be able to bring themselves to support a club that far West of them TBH. They will just have to pray that Eastleigh don't get promoted because that would be the end for them

must say I would rather have paul cook and a couple of the chesterfield players not getting new deals

Yes, that's a Pompey fan wishing that they could sign a couple of players no longer wanted by Chesterfield

Thing is, Matt Ritchie never looked that good when he was there. Look what some decent coaching can do...

Maybe we can offer this 'starlet' some refuge, if our lot think he is worth bothering with that is.

You think he would be playing for a team in the bottom half of the fourth division if our lot thought he was worth bothering about?

I enjoyed that but could easily see the same argument played out on our main board.

It is no surprise that clubs are interested in Chesterfield manager Paul Cook. He has done an outstanding job, getting the club to the League One playoffs. The timing of an approach by Portsmouth, however, is poor.

‘We’re in our best position in 30 years,’ said Chesterfield chief executive Chris Turner. ‘It’s very annoying — but it’s football.’ Indeed it is — but weren’t fan-owned clubs supposed to be different?

They want the same amount for a league two 17 goal player as we paid for a league one 30+ goal player. Lol.

I can see them getting more than the release clause for Jed Wallace, but only if Brendan Rodgers is interested in him!

Wallace would suit Rodgers - he looks like the sort of player that doesn't want to win a game TOO much, a vital ingredient at the top of the sport.

And where Liverpool play.

The delusion of the few is everywhere! PMSL

Wow just read that thread - that really is something else! It's makes our forum look like a rocket scientist convention. Wouldn't it be lovely to use £275k of our TV money for a deluxe benchwarmer (for the reserves)

Buy him and put him to use as a toilet cleaner

The delusion of the few is everywhere! PMSL

 

Hilarious that they're taking the **** about the JPT when they got knocked out of it.

Look st this crap posted on that site above lol

Bournemouth were in the lower leagues a while back, what goes around, comes around. Like Scumhampton, Bournemouth will gain lots of new supporters until they too succumb to financial and managerial errors. As soon as they drop down out of the premiership then those "Fairweather" supporters will move on. Pompey has a very, very strong family of supporters, that follow wherever and whatever, 95% hardcore support, unlike the St Mary's Monkeys who have a 35% support base. Pompey til I die!

Oh well that's it then. He's used statistics. There is nothing I can do.

Oh hang on..... Maybe I should just look at the facts.

Those % are meaningless, unless they act as an admission that the Skate grand total support base is a generous 16k in total, adding on 5% to their bestest hardcorest 15k ish current gate.

Well done lads.

The rest of the 95% hardcore who unfortunately can't make ****pit park on a Saturday are the bestest in the business at booing the players off the pitch sat in front of their radios though.

It's probably also worth noting that, for some inexplicable reason, over the past five years our average attendances when we were in the Championship or League 1 were approximately double theirs in the same league. For some strange reason I couldn't come up with any statistics for our average attendances in League 2. Must be a glitch in google.

Well done lads.

Their average league attendance in 2012/13 was 12,232. Presumably that was the "hardcore support" that "follow wherever and whatever".

All very well but you haven't given us any solid % figures to back up your post, just an approximation. So it can't be a FACT.

Next you'll be making things up such as our Youth Team having a crowd of over 12000 or them only having a crowd of 2731 for a cup match against Premiership side Blackburn in 2001 whilst they were in Div 1 (now Championship).

Bleedin scummahs just dont get it do ya.

As we are making up percentages can I just confirm that we are lagging well behind in one department.

From the main board I recognise that 10% of our support is formed of deluded kneejerk drama queen fantasists, a pretty standard figure across the leagues, while pompey are world beaters with a staggering 85% of fans who will not only gleefully gulp down any lukewarm diarrhea spoon-fed to them by the club and local paper, but they passionately believe that ANY delusional thought that crosses their mind, instantly becomes a fact.

This allows them to flip heroes into villains, and to skillfully weave myths from the smallest shred of pub gossip.

Only Spurs fans can compete on delusion, with their famous belief that they are a big club, but even they are well down at 25%.

pompey lead the world.

Kane Willis ****ing hate scummers congratulating Bournemouth making the premiership thick as **** they hate you just as much as we do, worse supporters in England every team this season has said your atmosphere has been a joke can't even sell in prem league we got the history proven Pompey is the most successful team on the south coast. All the scum are keyboard warriors always hide behind the old bill

This is a superb example of the educational standards of your average knuckle-dragging Skate fan. The poor grammar, the lack of punctuation, the incoherent, rambling, hate-filled bile makes it difficult to guess whether Kane is a pre-pubescent schoolboy, or an incredibly ignorant adult. My money is on the latter.

Nah, their 'hardcore' (there go my sides) was the 5 or 6k that used to turn up before they started spending money they didn't have to get them into the top flight.

Even their recent memories appear to be failing as they conveniently forget that they couldn't fill 21k regularly in the Premier League when things were going well!

Has anyone got that picture of Kane sat on the top deck of the bus at St.Mary's?

I believe he's an "adult". Having a tea-break, so a quick scan and there appears to be only one Kane Willis on Facebook: very enlightening..

Citizen Kane, spitting out random thoughts that make John Westwood look like a normal human being.

Perhaps the sister-bothering, bike-stealing, heather-peddling, cross-eyed, toothless, face-tatted, comma-avoiding, glue-sniffing, Primark-blinged, fact-dodging, illiterate, easily-led simpleton Kane should ask one of his prison warders to read him a league table, just to cheer him up.

I do hope he never qualifies to vote, though hopefully that whole, go to the Polling Station, collect a bit of paper and write on it bit might be too complex a system to master.

Don't mince your words Rallyboy,say it like it is. :-)

It's worrying. What I didn't say in my previous post is that he appears to have a brother..

I particularly enjoyed this comment in response to a guy saying he'd rather be in our or Bournemouth's position right now:

Why ? What have they got to show for it F*CK ALL

I'm sure the distant memory of their glorious 2008 FA Cup win against the Championship's mighty Cardiff City is keeping them warm when they entertain behemoths of modern football such as Mansfield and Newport on cold Tuesday evenings at Fartton. The fact that they've managed to carry on that momentum so well is truly incredible to behold, although the momentum may be carrying them downwards faster than particularly heavy sh!t dropping out of the ar5e of a seagull.
