I understand what you're saying......but why should the players be punished for the mis-management of the funds by the owners ?

There are some that have taken big money from the club, and are now claiming that they are owed millions! I wonder which brand of washing powder they used!!!!!

Saints fan here with a slightly different view to some of those above. I have absolutely no sympathy for the fans, the players and certainly not Avram Grant.

However, I do have massive sympathy for those who have lost their jobs, like I do anywhere in the UK when they lose their jobs. At the end of the day they are suffering and so will their families now.

All these players and grant make me sick. They keep saying what a great club it is and yet they do this? yes the players are protected by the PFA but that doesn't mean they can't give their money to those who have lost their jobs, or even back into the club. It is all voluntary!!

Peter Storrie should be ashamed. I don't think I would have the cheek to continue in my role, especially not on those wages. Has he not got enough money yet? No Chief Exec should have more money than the actual business especially when they are largely at fault!!!!

I agree with everything besides your comment regarding the staff at the club, im sure during the boom times they requested a salary boost as well... and the staff work for portsmouth FC, which makes them part of that establishment. Like i said, sympathy should be saved for clubs like Southend and Chester, not the overspending hooligan club that is Portsmouth.

Basically, its the story of the Fahim takeover, followed by comments by saints fans not wanting to know, and followed by mass gloating from the muffs, stating that they are the second richest team in ENGLAND. One saints fan even commented that they got the oil tycoon, we got the ''photocopier buffoon''. . Its so funny, no one knew what was coming! they were taking the **** saying they had Fahim who had ''billions'', and that he was richer than Liebherr, saying they were gonna sign RIQUELME!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!

Thats a fair point. Although I don't think would have been given millions when they won the FA Cup like the players and 'others' did (hurt to even write anything about their success, although suppose it has crippled them so every cloud?)

Administrator is a joker as well. How can he make all these guarantees like he can guarantee they'll start next season. To start, you must be able to show you can finish. Just wind them up and be done with it. Also, kick them out the FA Cup because the players who made any difference on Saturday shouldn't even be at the club!

Thats a joke about Chester, didn't they owe less than £30k? So unfair on them when the skates owe over £7 million. One club I don't have sympathy for is Stockport because I cannot see how it was fair to take points off them last season once they were safe.

i'll reserve my sympathy for Southend until we see what happens on the last day!!

Doesn't all of this remind you of how incredibly lucky we were to get such a great owner and chairman to save us???

Ross Foods....five, Bird's Eye....six, Youngs....seven, Pompey will be minced up and turned into "Fish food"!!!. However, I'll doubt it's these brands will be interested as the fish in Fratton is smelly and not of a high quality.

Bunman wrote:
Slugger, when the administrator came in he said it was his duty to investigate whethere or not anything illegal had taken place at Fratton Park, maybe he needs these people around him to identify them. Maybe he needs their contacts in the game? Who knows! It's a real shame, Storrie said a few weeks ago he'd go if the fans no longer want him! Well listening to local radio phone in tonight I'm not in the minority!

Or possibly the payoff for his redundancy would exceed how much they anticipate they'll pay him between now and hopefully when a new buyer is found. Chipster, No

Fish definitely....but that might be the neighbours! South Today said tonight that they believe HMRC will no longer challenge the administration. As Chanrai is a creditor and he has appointed his own administrator I can understand why the HMRC have been uneasy about it! TBH so am I, but the dodgy dealings over the last few years I wouldn't be surprised at anything! Anyway Slugger - you got your Wembley tickets

When you lot are done ****, think on this:- The present path was initiated 6 years ago, when a certain London based jockey went off the rails. Since then, the movement of funds has been cleverly and slowly gathering momentum, in a northerly direction. When Fred Marsh QC was asked to comment on the impending scenario in 2008, his reply had more inevitability than Nostradamus - "when the sun sets over the cliff, all that may be left of the badger's lair is the crust that once had vegetable oil. We must learn from the issues, and I can only insist that these issues are not financial" Tell me again that this was not part of a plan by Eddie and Mark to see the decade through without jurisprudence.

Think hard. 6 years ago, the problems when old jockey - house near Waterlooville - caused the shares furor with TEAM in London. 2 years later, Fred Marsh, a totally neutral QC got wheeled out to give us half a story. And all the time it was the 2 jokers behind the scenes (we only run a hotel), knew this was coming. Ring any bells now?

Evening all! Another sad day for the club, really feel for those that have lost their jobs today. And a disgrace that Storrie is still there, particularly on the sort of wages he's still going to be on. So the administrator is running club - what role for Storrie then? His contacts? Well that's how we got in this mess! Optimism rules, you really sound like quite a sad individual, one that seems pretty obsessed with all things blue! Get over it! Yeah some of our idiots gave you stick when you had your troubles, but not all! Sling it back all you like, but you're as low as them as far as I'm concerned! PUP!

Storrie still getting £70,000/month. Nice work if you can get it. Anyway none of this mess was his fault, he's only an employee of the club. Unbelievable........ ..

Surely his first job should have been to send all the loan players back. Seeing as over half the first team squad is on loan that alone would have saved in a month what 85 employees earn in a year

Next Monday Pompey are back in the high court to prove the Administrator Andrew Andronikou is totally independant of the owner Chanrai. Assuming this is found not to be the case and he's thrown out of pompey administator's job, then what happens to all the people who lost their jobs. If he's in place illegally then surely any decisions he makes cannot be considered to be valid.
