Breaking: Portsmouth FC statement: "likely the club will now be closed down and liquidated" - they blame former owner Sacha Gaydamak

[destinydude]

They should be blaming Arry Redknapp and that clueless CEO of theirs as much as the owenrs.

Edit: Peter Storrie isthe name I was looking for.

Very sad if true. What would you do if you were a fan? I mean.. being a liverpool fan, if this ever happened to our club, i cant see myself ever supporting another team!

Waits to see if the media dare to put any blame on the wheeler dealer...

Lawyer for Portsmouth FC owner in waiting Balram Chainrai says "likely the club will now be closed down and liquidated by administrators"

Genuinely gutted for Pompey fans. The authorities just carry on sitting by allowing incompetent unscrupulous cunts into football clubs, and it's the fans who suffer. The FA and PL will just shrug it off, no problem for them. All the while, a set of superb supporters have their hearts broken.

Sickening.

Feel sorry for all Pompy fans except for this cock

Apparently Pompey need just under £2m by monday morning or they're gone.

Would it really be asking too much for every PL club to donate £100k each?

****ing disgrace that players are getting paid £220k p/w and a proper club like Pompey goes to the wall, for the sake of £2m.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Surely Redknapp and a few others could chip in at least? Didn't Campbell sue them for something too? He could donate that back to them and have comfort in the fact that he's saved a club.

I think they'll be rescued. £2m is chicken-feed these days in the world of football.

Thats a sickener for the fans. Can't believe that droopy won't step in and chuck them a few of his brown envelopes to help them out.

Its not really about £2m though. Im sure they are over £100m in debt. £2m by monday would surely just me part 1 of dozens more payments for them to survive. A club like that can't recover from that much debt in this climate

I don't believe it's as straight forward as that..

If it is, then how about 50,000 Pompey fans (min worldwide)
throw in £40 each.

This all goes back to when 'Arry was allowed to spend way beyond their means chasing success. Defoe, Crouch, Diarra, Muntari, who was that useless winger on 80,000 a week....oh yeah Utaka etc etc. At least a sole FA Cup victory was worth it.

Makes Leeds look professionally run.

Disgraceful that it's reached this point. I really feel for the pompey fans.
