I agree with Phil.....
On the pitch......NO
Off the pitch.......YES, Yes
Debt free, paid up outstanding debts as per administration.
Got rid of the crooks who put us in this position....
Would be nice if they found a way to compensate all those small businesses who only got 2p - 4p in the pound !!!
But 'DEBT FREE'.............
(its a nice feeling but the club will eventually have to find a investor if we ever get back to the championship)
Premiership.........No Thanks, they can keep it !!!!
& as a bonus we play every Saturday @ 3 O'clock........just like the old days..... _________________ RESPECT..................

Happy to forward any info on Pompey... |

Beating our rivals in the play off semis and then yesterday made it an amazing end to a season that took so long to get going after making one of the worst management decisions in our history.
The getting there is the fun bit, now the struggle to stay in it begins again. Me I'll be back on the quest to finally finish the 92 - three to go. |

Birmingham City
Not being relegated was my hope for the season and this was massively exceeded.
Changing the Manager made all the difference.
cheers

It is nice to be debt free.
That's what my club are.
However if you sell your club through shares to raise money against the name of your club it's ok to go into debt because you can service the debt through the 'istory' of your club.
Woe betide you have a rich owner who is in for the long haul.
FFP keeping the elite.....elite. |

The remit was to reach the play offs which we did, so yes on that point, unfortunately we didn't turn up for said play offs, so all in all a disappointing end of the season. |

If things look like they are going wrong stick with the manager we did and it paid of in the end. It will be up to the board of directors not to panic. Are your players good enough to keep you up there. It is all about bringing players in that will improve the squad don't try and mix it with the big money clubs as it wont work. We paid for only 1 players in the close season (Ulloa) the rest cam in on free transfers and we bought one in for a fee in the Jan transfer window plus a couple of loans which is when our season changed for the better. |

Stoke city
Overachieved without a doubt and far exceeding the expectations f the support. However a step up is light years away to break into the top 6 requires a lot of investment, big time and lots of luck. I think if the Potters maintain their mid table position they will be doing well next season. The chances of topping the Premiership have passed over to the very chosen few.
Still isn't it satisfying to finish with a 6-1 win over Liverpool? |

I know the second season in the Premiership is usually harder than the first so we will wait and see what happens next season but hopefully it will put us on a stable financial footing and we don't go down the road to financial ruin like other clubs. |
So the second season in the Premiership is usually harder than the first. I think you got that wrong fella |
