Snak

Jeg mener, det er korrekt, at Reading gerne vil have Pompey fans til at købe direkte fra klubben. Gjorde Barnsley ikke det samme?

Og nyt fra BBC - Pompey og Rangers i mulig fund raiser-kamp:

Det skulle ikke undre mig.

Jeg skulle ikke længere end Pompeys hjemmeside for at finde det:

"Tickets for Pompey’s Championship clash at Reading on Tuesday, March 6, kick-off 7.45pm, will be sold direct from the Madejski Stadium."

Der er snak om to venskabskampe mellem os og Glasgow Rangers for at få penge i kassen til de to økonomisk nødstedte klubber.

Skotterne har allerede plakaten parat:

Ha ha, det er go´ lir! :-D

Har haft nogle deprimerende måneder som fan af Wolves, men det er jo intet at regne for når man jævnligt smutter ind i tråden her og får syn for sagen for hvad der foregår nede på sydkysten.

Det er skrækkeligt og giver flashbacks til årene på Molineux hvor de berygtede Bathhi brødre og deres Allied Properties forsøgte at tilintetgøre Wolves.

Wolves suffered relegation to the Second Division at the end of the 1981–82 season, and then almost went out of business just before the start of the 1982–83 season with £2½ million debts. The club was saved from liquidation when former player Derek Dougan helped formalise a takeover deal as a front man for the Bhatti brothers. Promotion back to the First Division was achieved (as runners-up) at the first attempt.

With just a few months of the 1983–84 season gone, the future already didn´t looking bright for Wolves as they had failed to win any of their 14 opening First Division games, but even then few could have imagined just how steep the decline would be. There were some bright spots even in that campaign, the first coming on 26 November 1983 when Wolves finally won a league game at the 15th attempt, breaking their win-less run in style with a 3–1 away win over local rivals West Bromwich Albion. Their second win came on 27 December when they beat Everton 3–0 to record their first home league win of the season. Perhaps the best result of the season came on 14 January 1984 when they won 1–0 at Liverpool – the dominant side of that era, who were in the process of winning their third successive league title (and also the European Cup and Football League Cup) that season. On 18 February they held title chasing Manchester United to a 1–1 draw – a result which contributed towards their opponent´s ultimate failure to win the title. A 1–0 home win over Nottingham Forest on 3 March followed, but Wolves were still a long way off survival and would win just one more league game after this, going down in bottom place. They had also lost star striker Andy Gray to Everton in November.[16]

The 1984–85 season didn´t begin particularly badly, with the first few games producing mixed results, but a 5–1 defeat at Barnsley on 29 September 1984 was the first real sign that Wolves could face a second successive season of struggle. By early November, they had actually managed to put together a three-match winning run[17] which saw them occupy 13th place and suggest that they were more than capable of survival, if not promotion.[18] But a seven-match losing run followed, dragging them into the relegation zone by New Year´s Day 1985.[19] Wolves failed to win another league game until 8 April 1985, but they were still in the relegation zone.[20] On 6 May 1985, they were relegated despite a 2–1 home win over Huddersfield Town. As well as declining in their league standing, their attendances were also in a downward spiral by this stage. Nearly 15,000 had watched their opening game against Sheffield United, but during the second half of the season they were struggling to attract half that figure. A mere 4,422 fans watched their final home game of the season – the game where relegation was confirmed.[21]

Wolves began their first season in the national Third Division on 17 August 1985, losing 2–1 to Brentford at Griffin Park. A week later, they took on one of the division´s weakest sides – Newport County – at the Molineux, but lost 2–1. The next game ended in a 4–2 defeat at promotion favourites Derby County, and Wolves finally managed to claim points at the first attempt with a 3–2 home win over York City. Four defeats followed before another victory. By the time Wolves were crushed 6–0 by Rotherham United in the FA Cup first round on 16 November 1985, a third of the league season had already gone and Wolves had still yet to put together a run of good results, so a third successive relegation – a humiliation which only Bristol City four seasons earlier had so far suffered – was now looking a real possibility. A 3–1 home win over Gillingham the weekend after the FA Cup exit raised hopes that survival might be achieved, but Wolves never managed to put together a good run in the league and their relegation to the Fourth Division – for the first time in their history – was confirmed on 26 April 1986 despite a 3–1 home win over Cardiff City, who had gone down with them the previous season and would also suffer a second successive relegation.[22]

On 2 July 1986 the Bhatti brothers era came to an end when the official receiver was called in at Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. However, the club was saved from extinction when Wolverhampton Council purchased Molineux for £1.12 million, along with the surrounding land, while Gallagher Estates Limited, in conjunction with the Asda Superstore chain, agreed to pay off the club´s outstanding debts, subject to building and planning permission for an Asda superstore on land adjacent to the stadium being granted by the Council.

En oprykning fulgt af 3 nedrykninger. Heldigvis dukkede gode kræfter op, men ingen tvivl om at den relativ korte årrække det tog at smadre klubben tog lang, lang tid at genopbygge for mange gode kræfter.

Håber noget tilsvarende sker med Pompey hvis det værste skulle ske.

@Stormin...

Klubben var nede og vende i den daværende 4. division i slutningen af 1970´erne, og ligeledes tæt på konkurs. Noget lignende vil være en lille pris for klubben at betale for de seneste års mismanagement. Hvis bare det kan kombineres med at vi samtidig får smidt de herrer Gaydamak og Chainrai langt væk.

West Ham to the rescue?

West Ham are also looking to aid Portsmouth survival as they look to secure the signing of Jason Pearce for the remainder of the season offering up a fee and paying his wages for the season in a desperate attempt to help the Blues stay in business.

De er så bange for at miste 6 points, at de måske vil hjælpe Pompey. Men de er selv i et kæmpe økonomisk gamble, hvor de kommer i svære problemer, hvis de ikke rykker op denne sæson... kaotisk!

Sagen er vel i lige så høj grad at her er en mulighed for at forstærke sig og samtidig se en spiller an, som vil kunne fås enten billigt eller gratis efter sæsonen. At klubberne benytter sig af det er ikke for at bevare PFC, snarere hjælp til selvhjælp. Omvendt så kan jeg ikke have ondt i røven over det. Klubbens ve og vel kommer før alt andet.

Det ER Tal-Ben Haim der er klubbens bedst lønnede spiller med en månedtlig hyre på £36,000. Det er, surprise surprise, Storrie der i sin tid gav ham den lukrative kontrakt.
