The Anonymous Widower

Going Down?

The latest in the Portsmouth saga seems to make matters worse.  According to the BBC, Peter Storrie and Avram Grant are not happy that players have been sold behind their backs.

I just think that Pompey are now at the end of the road.  They face a winding up petition in the Courts on February 10th and I suspect that unless serious money turns up, they will end up in administration at best.

The point that no-one seems to say is that Pompey are favourites to go down and so the owners will lose a lot of money anyway.  So would you put any more money into this type of sinking ship?  Perhaps if you were a fool with money to burn.  But no-one is that stupid are they?  I suppose they could be if they bought a football club in the first place!

So it looks like there’ll be an extra place in Division 2 next year. 

Will that be AFC Wimbledon?  Now there’s a resurrection for you.
