Can't Fred Dinage whip up a consortium?

How?

Portsmouth set to be liquidated. On ssn now.

Got to say looking at the story, this is shocking. I've got no great love for the club, but they don't deserve this.

No, you're thinking of Frank Bough.

I blame appy arry, I don't know why I do, but i'd love it if it was revealed that he showed complete disregard for pompeys finances during his time there.

In fairness managers aren't accountants. The reaction of 99.9999% of managers to the question "do you want shitloads of money to spend?" would be "yes please".

I would imagine those with access to the club's accounts might have a better idea how to run a club. Apparently not in this case.

I know, but I can dream can't I. :)

The F.A should bail Pompey out. They allowed a shyster like Gaydamac control over the club, what is it going to take for those idiots to sort out ownership of clubs and the debt that they take on.

And this is the FA's problem how?

I hate this thread.

With so much money flying around the PL, it's a disgrace the money hasn't filtered through.

The only positive is more folk supporting their local non-league teams (when the Villa are not an option).

I don't hate modern day football but I hate what the PL and the idiots at the FA have done to English football.
