Almost know how it feels but when you see names like Cala involved it is probably best to go down the phoenix club route. Hopefully you will now get the assistance from the local council you'll need. Is the ground protected for sport use? Bury is a cracking away day so we all miss out...

Plymouth fans were in a small minority to help Pompey fans and our trust when we were in danger of folding, they held a fan's day to help us. For that I have a lot of time for them. The media, as with Brighton, like to play up the (Dockyard) Derby thing. There was a rivalry as we challenged...

We only have one real rival and that's scum. Bournemouth are pretty much the opposite and Brighton is a media creation because we're both on the south coast. Millwall is a feisty affair but their rivals are all local to them. Sunderland is just a big competitor in this league and we've played 5...

Liverpool and Chelsea were in deep poo not so many years ago. As long as huge debts are serviced and/or a new owner rocks up then the issue carries on being ignored. I reckon a fair few Championship clubs are close to going bust.

Cala couldn't even join our list of crooks!

Unfortunately it is usually only the fans of clubs that have been through this that really understand. Never thought supporting my club would involve the need to understand administration rules, CVAs, football and non football creditors, insolvency and all the many ways of splitting parts of...

Yes, several court appearances were bigger events than the games! I was told the judge had liquidated the club at one hearing. I'll be honest and admit my guts nearly went.

I missed this one but gave my season up for someone from Barcelona. Told them to expect more messy than Messi but I certainly wasn't expecting Jackett to go to the extremes of negativity. 5 defenders + 2 defensive midfielders against 8 outfield players?! WTF? He can find a playet but seems to...

We really need to go at them early. Don't give them any time to settle and their crowd will quickly turn. Sit back and we'll hand the game to them. Another 1-1 might be a decent result but I'd like Jacket to be more positive this time around. Go for it I say, early in the season and could set...

Sounds similar to how Pompey was passed around by a connected bunch of crooks and chancers. The only reason we got ownership of our club was because the Trust (PST) was able to use FL rules that prevent an owner taking control of a club having previously taken one into administration. Chainrai...

To be fair Tranmere at least came down and had a go without the time wasting we often see. Weirdly your lot seemed to give up after conceding. First goal is another for Ben Close's personal goal of the season competition. The wind played havoc but we looked decent with ball on the ground. This...

The day I was mistakenly told that Pompey had folded after yet another day in court. I don't care so much about losing games as losing your club is so much worse.

Just a coincidence that the French Government froze his dad's assets at the same time eh?! I remember Sasha's press conference when het took full ownership and said he couldn't compete financially with the other chairmen in the league. A little later we're signing players like you've mentioned...

The FA and EFL are not interested in the smaller teams. In 2010 the EPL just wanted rid of Pompey as any failures are an embarrassment to their "best league in the World". They supposedly tightened up the rules so dodgy owners couldn't operate like they did here again. In fact, they did nothing...

Yeah sorry about bringing football talk to the thread! :bg: I hope you do go for it because so many teams do just defend here and inevitably score with their one or two chances. Jacket sets us up defensively at home too which can make for a boring spectacle. Hopefully he will continue with a...

Nice to see Pompey represent well tonight. Hopefully a full first team will get us on the way against Tranmere on Saturday. PUP.

Having a threatening attacking line up that gets wasted in a defensive formation and tactics. Kenny Jacket seems to get decent players in and then goes back to his Graham Taylor handbook.
