re: What really matters?

I like you Dave have become very disillusioned of late and it is not just because of Pompeys horrific Season.

I for one am actually looking forward to life in the fizzy pop, as strange as that may seem. You can keep your Premiership with all the self gratulation about the best league in the World drivel.

I look forward to a good all fashioned league where it is a little more balanced and there are more than two teams that have a chance of claiming the title.

Its pretty obvious that Andrew Andronikou is in Storries pocket, they are as thick as thieves

All that being said, Pompey should get themselves back in the Premier League at the first chance and join the melée pushing for those Euro places.

good work Mark I think now we'll all be checking the sleeves ! My understanding though re Storrie leaving was that he couldn't go before, as the last director, whilst HRMC were challenging the administrators right to be there. Once that was sorted PS could be let go of . . . .

Great Article Mark remains to be seen what occurs.

Here Here Chris, Myself I am pleased that we did'nt go down that route we must have a independent say and not follow various others sites,groups & causes.

Actually Wot, I own and run myPompey (in conjunction with its long standing members), and we have, I am glad to say, despite offers, nothing to do with Farmery or any of the other 'find a cause and we'll cause it' lost souls behind the varous neon light factions.

If the last bit about Farmery being this sites editor is incorrect please accept my apologies!

Good article, whilst I believe Storrie will go I accept AdminAndy needs Storrie to find the money. Like the so called fans meeting with the takeover prospect, my understanding is a very select few have been chosen; not what you'd call a chorum. Mark you make a good point about the Pompey mafia; the massive irony of course being Colin Farmery this and it's sistor sites editor was clearly in it.

i have said a few times before, we will probably never know the full truth...my hope is a new owner comes in, pays our debts and has a clean sweep of everybody above team manager...lets have a fresh new start............

Interesting stuff Mark. I certainly share a certain amount of those concerns. I also live in hope that maybe (a) 'Andy Andy' possibly had a quiet word with Storrie and gave him the option of diluting his role in the way he has (albeit slightly) whilst at the same time saving some money (we will never know how much if anything without seeing the terms of the Consulatncy Agreement), and/or (b) the change to Storrie's capacity was enough to possibly create a clearer path for progress to be made with a prospective Buyer (as per the latest news in this regard). I'm still wanting to trust Andy Andy to not compromise his own integrity as Administrator and hope that maybe he is actually now "playing" Storrie to suit his own ends as Administrator and also ultimately the clubs but we will see.

Very good Mark - I share your views. Just because the Administrator is meant to be independant doesn't mean he is.

Btw, we published similar thoughts on Storrie here:

Please, please don't resign Peter Storrie:

And Boot's exposure of Storrie here:

Are we defining "cheating" as having players the club's income can't really afford? Those being (or have been) financed by sugar daddies?

Ah, ok. A list of cheaters in the Prem then (feel free to add if you think of others):

Chelsea

Aston Villa

Manchester City

Birmingham

Fulham

Blackburn (Jack Walker bought the title a few years back)

Sunderland

West Ham

Hull (rumours)

So nearly half of the teams (including Rich's) in the Premier League are cheating according to the definition set out by Rich.

In truth Rich, the PL is a league where the very, very wealthy come to play. You have Carson Yeung, Chelsea have Abramovich and Pompey had Gaydamak. The only difference is the tense. In a couple of years time, when Yeung has brought in some highly paid players that HE is subsidising, what do you think will happen if he just decides to walk out one day? Exactly the same thing that has happened to us. Same goes for that entire list.

So I'm happy if you want to define employing players the club cannot afford as cheating and I agree that every club involved should be punished. Maybe all of us should get a 9 pt penalty?

No? Don't like that idea?

Then can I advise you don't throw too many stones just in case you break your own glass house.
