Nej, det går ikke specielt godt for Wednesday for tiden. ;-)
Men ja, du har helt ret i at der har foregået ting bag kulisserne som for det første ikke har været helt legalt, og for det andet har været medvirkende til at krisen er blevet både forlænget og større. Nogle af de implicerede som f.eks. Gaydamak og Chainrai kender jo hinanden i forvejen og den ene har givetvis udeståender hos den anden. De har brugt klubben som middel til at sætte hinanden ud af spillet, og både den og supporterne er gidsler i denne sag. Overforbruget er naturligvis klubbens egen skyld, men der er ingen tvivl om at gælden størrelse - især på det seneste via renter o.l. - er blevet forværret fordi at der er blevet trukket penge ud af klubben, samtidig med at der kun lige præcis er tilført nok til at man kan overleve, og det endda som oftest med forsinkelser, hvilket er gået ud over lønudbetalinger og den slags.
Måske er der et lille lys i horisonten:

Crisis club Portsmouth will be offered a staggering £32million rescue deal from the Premier League to pay their tax bill and avoid going bust this season.
Pompey were rocked to find out that HMRC want a full settlement of a debt worth around £14million in the next few weeks - money that they simply do not have.
And now the Premier League are poised to step in and advance them their parachute payments plus TV cash to give them the funds to stop the taxman from shutting them down.
The rest of the millions would pay the wages of their players, roughly £4million a month, and also guarantee that they can field a side for the remainder of the campaign.
Premier League supremo Richard Scudamore has contacted top-flight chairmen to let them know of the plan and seek their approval - with insiders revealing it will be passed.
Pompey and the Premier League are to have a summit tomorrow which will go ahead despite claims that it has been cancelled.
The offer of the cash now will be made at the meeting - in return for Pompey accepting a nine-point penalty that will almost certainly relegate them.
The Premier League owe Portsmouth the parachute cash over the course of the next two years - along with some TV money - and they feel that it is right to give them that advance because of their current crisis.
Pompey would not get any advantage over their rivals, but would merely survive until the summer and then face life in the Championship with no Premier hand-outs and just Football League funding and their own gate receipts to survive on.
It is a deal that Pompey seem sure to accept despite their ludicrous hints that they wanted the points penalty waived. If they turn it down they will need to find their own finance in a hurry - and that is a real long shot.
The Premier League are desperate for Pompey to survive the season. The alternative is to see them go bust, wipe points off clubs who have played them and lose fixtures in the coming months.
And the cash-rich organisation can find the money to give to them - for the tax bill and wages - to save some face from this financial disaster.
Portsmouth will also be allowed to sell players outside the window, but this has already proved problematic as buyers are reluctant to sign anyone who cannot play for them this season.
Centre half Marc Wilson is wanted by Sunderland but they will not meet the sky-high £4million valuation. Kevin Price Boateng has also been offered to clubs in the past few days but has found no takers.
David James, Hassan Yebda and Nadir Belhadj would not want to be sold and put in limbo for the rest of the season when they have the World Cup finals to play for.Ovenstående ville være en fin måde at løse de kortsigtede problemer på. Klubben kan afslutte sæsonen på sportslig vis og vi får ikke tilført penge nu som vi ikke ville have fået alligevel. Fordelen er at vi får stabiliseret klubben i de næste 3-4 måneder. Ulempen er så at faldskærmspengene for næste sæson allerede er brugt nu, og vi har dermed ikke den fordel i CCC til næste sæson.
