Jamie O’Hara, Kevin Prince Boateng, and…Aruna Dindane
Just thought I’d contrast those three names with yesterday’s trio! I’m not saying they are world beaters or even top half Premier League regulars, but I’d say they give us a fighting chance, and that’s all Portsmouth fans have wanted for the past few weeks. Michael Brown and Tommy Smith now look better signings than [...]
Al Fahim Finally Becomes New Owner of Portsmouth
Well, you couldn’t make it up! Just as it seemed that Peter Storrie was about to blindside Portsmouth Football Club’s erstwhile prospective owner, Sulaiman Al Fahim, the tables were turned at the last minute! Typical of the club itself and indeed the events of this summer. The worry is that it appears the way the deal [...]
Aruna Dindane Signs for Portsmouth
And we are 3-0 up against Hereford United at half time! But with things the way they are at the moment, ANYTHING positive is worth clinging on to. At least it shows that Pompey have gone about their job tonight the way they should. However, it is the teeniest tiniest positive. We are playing Hereford United. It’s not the [...]
Pompey’s Time is Running Out
It’s now Monday night and this summer’s second proposed takeover of Portsmouth Football Club still hasn’t been announced. The way things have gone so far this year, the collapse of Peter Storrie’s rescue plan is perhaps inevitable, but there won’t be time for a third. This is it. Last chance saloon.
Since I last wrote, there have been two more [...]
Portsmouth v Fulham – Premier League 2008/09
Despite some dramatic twists regarding the takeover at the Portsmouth Radio Solent fans’ forum on Thursday night, I want to concentrate on the football at last, as the Premier League season gets underway at Fratton Park today.
Fulham obviously had a good season last time out and will probably set up much the same way this [...]
Pompey Fans Urged to Get Behind the Team
Paul Hart has today given an interview calling for the full support of the fans for Saturday’s season- opener against Fulham. The interview has been run in The News and would usually be a completely non-descript Tuesday afternoon read. But this is different.
This week it really is apt because we haven’t got a clue what [...]
High Noon in Portsmouth All Week
I’m not even going to try and predict the outcome of the Portsmouth takeover, which has now reached epic proportions, but surely something has to give this week?! With that in mind, today’s blog outlines some of the recent and potential developments without pretending for a second to have the faintest idea how things will turn out!
First, [...]
Portsmouth Takeover Officially Becomes A Car Crash
I spent quite a lot of time this summer blogging about Portsmouth’s bright new future. With a prospective owner from the Middle East who wasn’t short of a few bob, but who also preached a long term, sensible vision, things looked promising. Today, I take back every single word. Forget it all. This takeover has [...]
Portsmouth Takeover – Due Diligence (almost!) Completed
It ’s been (and still is!) a bit like pulling teeth, but it looks like Dr Al Fahim’s (he deserves to be a Doctor if this goes through) due diligence on Portsmouth Football Club is all but complete. Just thought I’d post a few words today on how I see the situation at the moment.
Unbelievably, [...]
Davis set to leave Portsmouth as Campbell’s future hangs in the balance.
Well, The Sun seems to have laid off the Portsmouth takeover for now, although that should probably be a source of worry really. After all, when you have left your child in the next room and hear nothing but blissful silence for a while, you can bet your bottom dollar they are up to no good.
More concrete [...]
