Portsmouth

At this point, their best bet might be to fold and reform as a phoenix club. 60m in debt in league 1, no assets left in terms of valuable players, cycle of owners. Looks bleak.

I agree, it is very very upsetting times, but we have seen it with AFC Wimbledon rising through the leagues, hope Portsmouth can do the same if they decide to do what is best and that is to fold.

I think they need to keep going, although they'll be almost certainly in League 2 next season, Luton Town managed to get through the debt even if it meant being down in the BSP for a few years, they're on the verge of returning and with healthy accounts.

Folding and "doing an AFC Wimbledon" is naive as a plan, considering Wimbledon's rise is as remarkable as they come, to suggest it's logical as an idea for Portsmouth is crazy IMO.

Ultimately if they don't come out of administration over the summer, theyll be booted regardless.

FL seems to have had enough of the musical chairs approach to ownership.

Things have gotten so bad for Portsmouth;

They've signed John Akinde

I swear, if Akinde scores v Bournemouth tomorrow...

Its going to happen!

ShAm e were scoring 5

Seems all the problems have finally ended!!! All the best to them, seems they will get relegated to league 2, but hopefully they can build it up again from there.

They're is no way they can stay up

Good luck to Green. Hope he does well for Pompey

Good to se Green score the winner today.

Good to see Green score the winner today too.
Thank you westi, great composure for the finish.

Was very good at the start of last season. A shame we loaned him.
Hopefully he’ll go onto score a few more and Portsmouth get back to the championship.

westi,
Best player I ever saw at Villa Park was Pele!
Hoping for a good draw tomorrow.

Read that we are thinking of bringing back Green.
I’d have him back.
Shame for Portsmouth if he’s doing well though.

Hi westi,

If PFC let Green go, you'd have to think they're committed to hanging on to Lowe, at least until the summer. We're getting goals from lots of places but no substitute for a natural goalscorer.

But good luck to Green, hope they can finesse a stay until after our QPR Cup tie!

He’d be better off staying at Portsmouth till the summer.
We have enough cover for that position.
Hopefully he’s over his injury worries.

Well Green is back. Hopefully he gets game time and creates the form that he showed at the start of last season.

Hopefully on the bench at least Saturday.

It looks as if PFC picked up players on spec; not sure if any will help if we get promoted, or help us get there. We've been down this road before.

James Vaughn scored a good few goals in that league didn’t he?
Should do ok for you guys.

Agreed, Perhaps he'll do the business at FP. But I'd've liked to have seen PFC pick up a couple of real Championship players to help get promoted, then be competitive in the Championship.
Greedy, I know!
