Portsmouth finished?

[saj]

Have they become extinct yet? And does that guy still ring that bell during their games?

[saj]

Depends on the number of toilets they have and the efficiency of their drainage system really.

And how much they have eaten

[Chazza]

Lost to Swindon today 5-0 it was 0-0 at half time.

7 defeats and 3 draws from the last 10 games has them on 21 points with still 10 to come off for administration so league 2 beckons.

Got to feel sorry for the supporters who still don't know what form the club will exist in.

[Chazza]

Released another 6 players today who were pretty much the only senior players they had

Portsmouth have confirmed that six players have left the club following the expiry of their contracts.

Mustapha Dumbuya, Jon Harley, Brian Howard, Lubomir Michalik, Luke Rodgers and Lee Williamson have all departed.

Michalik joined Pompey in mid-September, while the other five arrived just before the opening League One match of the season in August.

"We thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best," said Pompey caretaker boss Guy Whittingham.

League One Portsmouth have been in administration since February 2012 and are facing a second successive relegation as they are set for a 10-point penalty.

They are currently in the process of a takeover bid by the Pompey Supporters Trust and are said to be £61m in debt

Dunno how Harry Redknapp sleeps at night.

[RichC]

pretty soundly I'd imagine. Seems to care very little about the clubs he manages.

[lickedlollipop]

Because the fans and players are being punished for the absolute ****-ups at boardroom / ownership level.

It's a ****ing disgrace.

i can identify with them, as lfc still pay the price for bad management/administration

[Captain Stu]

... and, worst of all, the cunt largely responsible for this is not only still managing but is being allowed to do it again to QPR.

[little dave hedgehog]

oh come on, qpr is quite capable of doing it to themselves.

They are but letting that bollock-faced lunatic lose with that much money is only going to lead to one thing.

[Darkon]

It's not Redknap's fault, it's an incompetent board/ownership that have allowed the club to overspend on wages and transfers for years. The manager spends what he is given to spend, and it's obviously not his responsibility to secure the clubs finances on short or long term. That is what a board and ownership is responsible for, and it's a disgrace they have let it run to the point they have. Same with Rangers in Scotland, and countless other examples.

I know a lot hate Redknapp on here, and hardly my favorite person, but it's not his responsibility how a club is managed financially just like it wasn't Rafa/Hodgson fault that we were run to near economic ruin just a couple of years ago.

Fair comments.

I'm not particularly educated - nor have I had the chance to research this - but wasn't there various misdemeanors at Portsmouth involving both, Mandaric and Redknapp?

[Red_Polo]

Jon Harley - was he that once promising left back that played for Chelsea?

[Chazza]

Yep that's him went to Fulham and then has knocked around at Sheff Utd, Burnley, Watford, Notts County and Pompey plus a load of loans.

[Red_Polo]

Heh. I remember thinking he would be mint
