Clubs in trouble

[dave.woodhall]

Dunno what the other clubs are moaning about... forgetting the financial situation, how is selling loads of players going to help them in the relegation run-in?

Any of them worth a punt? I reckon James will finally go to Sturk now.

I think the problem is that if one club signs players and the rest don't.

The Guardian are reporting a Hong Kong based investment company are interested in taking them over.

I heard Portsmouth are currently owned by Doctor Claw out of Inspector Gadget.

I certainly don't want to see clubs go to the wall like this but surely you can't keep changing the rules just to keep them going.  If they're prepared to bend over backwards for Portsmouth, imagine what they'll do should Liverpool ever get to that state.

I think the Premier League just want to keep Pompey going unti they get relegated anf then it's the Football League's problem!

Probably but it would be a lot easier to deal with if they folded in the the summer rather than half way through the season. That's not to say I want them to, I hope that they find a way out of it, but the implications for the League and FA Cup would be immense if it happened now.

Could you imagine that shower of shit down the road getting a bye into the semi-finals and a Wembley appearance?  It doesn't bear thinking about!!

Have faith in te big-wigs at the Premier League offices. They'll know what to do.

It won't happen, they'll give the space to Southampton.

Surely they are not in so much trouble? Heart of gold that bloke!

I for one would be saddened to see Pompey go into liquidation. How do some of the players live with themsleves taking £80,000 a week a letting the club die?

problem is that they were offered these wages, would you refuse it ?

Not at the time of signing the contract no but surely they could offer to take a wage cut given the current plight?

He's such a dim weasel, he even goes on to reveal the real reason he's offering it

"West Ham have taken four points off Pompey this season and were they to go out of business we'd be in the bottom three

So, he's offering to "loan" Portsmouth 10m, but the PL have to underwrite it and assure he gets it back on a given date - not much of a risk there, Dave - and he's making it clear he's doing it to lessen West Ham's chances of relegation.

Honestly, these people.

Chester City. When even the fans are begging for the club to be kicked out of the league, you know things are bad.

If the phrase 'they're bollocksed' wasn't invented for this type of occasion it just would have been.
