Portsmouth Defender Distin to Sign New Contract – Says Redknapp
I have decided to put my optimistic head on again today. I hope the news about Distin is true….what’s that?…..sorry?…..oh I see. It’s not ‘news’, its just Harry Redknapp talking about other clubs’ players during a press conference. Oh well, I’m sure he was just in a reminiscent mood and wishing his old club the best [...]
Paul Hart Named Portsmouth Boss
So, Dr Al Fahim’s takeover is all but complete. Despite this, Peter Crouch is still set to leave and we have Paul Hart as our new (old) manager. Forgive me for making the most obvious comment you will find on the internet today, but this is hardly what we expected back in May when the takeover was announced!
To [...]
Crouch Set to Leave Portsmouth
After a few enforced days off, I am back, but what the hell is going on?! Just as the protracted takeover of Portsmouth FC by Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim seems to be nearing completion, many of the players are either clamouring for the exit door or being pushed towards it.
It looks inevitable that Peter Crouch will [...]
Dr Al Fahim Arrives in Portsmouth
So, we can expect Dr Al Fahim to name the new Portsmouth manager later today during a live Sky Sports News interview, along with our first signing. Kaka is having doubts about Real Madrid now apparently after hearing of events at Fratton Park. I just woke up…. ah, I’m hearing we we can expect a ten second [...]
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.
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim has agreed a deal to buy the club from Sacha Gaydamak, and a period of due diligence now begins. Assuming that the commercial due diligence process has already taken place (how [...]
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
Wigan Athletic 1 Portsmouth 0
In truth, we should have known what was coming. It has been like this for weeks but at least the grind is now over. The job has been done. Portsmouth are set to kick off their seventh successive season in the Premier League and for that we should be grateful, but [...]
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 [...]
What Now for Portsmouth?
Portsmouth have secured their Premier League status for another season, but Portsmouth supporters have endured a turgid, grinding conclusion to the campaign. What have Pompey got to look forward to? At the moment the answer is, we just don’t know. There are probably three main scenarios, with all the possible varaiations, shades, and degrees in between.
Firstly, a new investor enters [...]
Second half show lifts Portsmouth
Portsmouth 3 Sunderland 1
John Utaka was Portsmouth’s unlikely hero as he scored once and made the two others in a 3-1 win at Fratton Park in last night’s Premier League encounter. A dire first half gave way to a pulsating second, and once Utaka had brought Pompey level within a minute of Sunderland taking the [...]
