Since the beginning of a turbulent season at the Fratton Park club, it seemed as though a winding-up order from HMRC was to put my beloved club to bed for good. People having been outspoken in criticising the club for mismanaging the club. Yes I am angered by the situation that Gaydamak put us in and him forcing us down shit creek without a paddle, and the fact the Premier league allowed men without money to take over really angered me. Yes it is a product of an unfair capitalist system that rewards clubs for spending, as Chelsea proved it is possible to buy success inn football. And yes it is true that if the takeover of Al Fahim or Al-Faraj had resulted in success questions probably what not have been asked in any way.
Pompey are now talking about administration in order to survive meaning a 9 point deduction condemning us to relegation (if we weren't already). This will mean the winding up order is suspended allowing the club to fulfil fixtures for the forseeable future until a "proper" buyer is found. I for one don't know why this action wasn't taken sooner, but there you go.
So, yes it does look as though the Pompey Chimes will be chiming on for the time being, probably in the Championship, but at least I still get to see the Blue Army in the future.
Yes the capitalist machine marches on in football, but hopefully what has happened to my beloved club will be a wake up call and will hopefully pave a way for people to realise how NOT to run a football club. In a previous post I commented on money in football and it has got out of control and the world of football need to realise that football is about the fans and their passion not about the money.
