Internet Marketing Journey – Week Ending Friday 29th May 2009
This week has really ended today, Sunday 31st May, but for the sake of continuity I’ve called it Friday! I should have done this post on Friday but it wasn’t really possible. My wife was away and I was looking after the kids on my own. As every parent knows, this is a much harder job [...]
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim – What Sold Portsmouth to You?
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim’s proposed takeover of Portsmouth Football Club has had me wondering, as I have waded through the inevitable media speculation over the last couple of days, ’why Pompey?’.
The next few weeks will be crucial for the future direction of the club, as due diligence is carried out. This issue, especially regarding the Premier League’s [...]
Making Money Online – Thursday 28th May 2009
Not much time for anything else but the actual blogs at the moment as I am looking after the kids on my own for the next couple of days! But, today’s blog was a real pleasure as it looks like Pompey’s recent problems are over. Our prospective new owner, Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, has been talking for the [...]
Portsmouth to be Bought by Arab Billionaire
What a difference a day makes! Twenty four little hours could be twenty four big hours in the history of Portsmouth Football Club.

Internet Marketing Journey – Wednesday 27th May 2009
Today I kept up my record of having blogged every day, but this time I used some material from a good Portsmouth blog site, Vital Pompey, which is part of the Vital Football site. A post there about a nightmare journey to a game reminded me of my own version, and the fact that all football fans must have one [...]

Portsmouth’s Future Likely to Become Clearer This Week
With Portsmouth’s season now mercifully over, the endless speculation regarding the club’s future management and ownership which had dominated its second half now gives way to, well, post season speculation! Recent noises from the club suggest that at least there will be some developments soon.
Paul Hart said after Sunday’s game that the managerial situation should be resolved this [...]
Portsmouth See Out Season in the Wigan Sunshine

Making Money Online – Week Ending Friday 22nd May 2009
Well, I have been blogging all week! On Monday, I spent a bit of time researching and trying to conceptualise Matt Jones’s future website, so that I would have a better idea of the different categories that my blogs would fall into. I managed to get a clearer idea of my vision, and posted about this [...]
Portsmouth Spared ‘Survival Sunday’ (aka Last Day of the Season)
We Portsmouth fans know the torture of last day drama. Luckily the last three occasions at home against Barnsley in 2001, and away at Bradford City and Huddersfield Town in 1998 and 1996 respectively, have all been successful, although it was actually other results that confirmed Pompey’s safety on the most recent of those occasions. The ‘Great Escape’ season [...]
