vindaloo73 Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 WaitingForYou! Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 10:56 AM Gotta laugh at the Sc@mmers. It's ok for them to be bank rolled by someone, but it wasn't ok for us when we won the FA cup... £4m they spent in their first season in League 1. Now how is that a fair playing field?? Still trying to get my head round this!!!! Crazy ****ers!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 I overestimated the intelligence of some of them. I'm genuinely quite surprised there are still some who can't grasp it. I take no joy in that as a rival, I just find it depressing for humanity. Attacking any club who have spent money, any club with debts, seeking anyone else to blame, it's become embarrassingly pathetic. Suddenly Saints having a rich owner in L1 is no different? Villa being in debt? Nevermind the paying wages and tax. Nevermind trying to deal with financial problems, or every other club ever in admin cutting their costs considerably. PFC are different, they need a proper side right. This admin came about because they learnt NOTHING from the last one. Cheated once, and chose to drag it on and on. If they'd signed no-one, rather than 17k a week imports, released players, sold them on and got by with what they could afford, they'd be in a stronger position now. 'What you can afford' is the key point. Under Liebherr, Saints could afford more than the opposition. At PFC, they spent when they couldn't afford. Saints did this under Wilde, it was stupid, albeit a lesser extent, but most can see it was stupid, admit it, wish it hadn't happened but accept the punishment and move on. Given that PFC did it on an infinitely larger scale, other many more years and then repeated it time and again, can we not just have 1 or 2 fans show a hint of intelligence on the subject? Intelligence, humility and perspective. Three qualities you will not find on Portsea island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like they were unable is it, they simply chose not to pay their taxes & instead chose to spend the tax money on expensive players on ridiculous wages that they couldn't afford.

Guy Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 I've been trying to work out where their catchment area is to get to 8 million There's currently no premier league team in the south outside of London, so there is a potentially large additional audience (outside of existing local supporters) for any team who make it to the top level (but 8mil is over estimating that by a long way), but Pompey are easily in 4th place in the race to get there behind us, Reading and Brighton. You could also say that Swindon and the Bristol sides have more chance in the medium term of making the top end of the championship than Our Friends to the East.

That's about all I have at the moment but I am sourcing more info as we speak. Been told he's a serious guy and could even be news over the weekend.
