administrator for pompey

Fri Feb 26, 2010 7:26 pm

heard the administrator being asked how portsmouth could have kept themselves out of the mess they are in

" there is a simple rule in any business including football and that is to make sure that your sales outweigh your purchases over the course of a year"

So peter if the club brings in a total of 12 million in sales including tickets, tv money etc you really shouldent be spending 14 million on players wages.

simply really but that simple rule seems to have escaped you at three football clubs and a recent business venture of yours.

Our biggest problem is the wages paid to Ridsdale, DJ and Ridsdales mates.

The only way we'll survive is to get promoted THIS SEASON - then we have a whole new world open up. problem is, with the current set of players, and lack of them able to come in. It is a VERY TALL order indeed! Although we might come straight back down, we'll certainly sort out alot of our major problems - but Ridsdale (and our board) will STILL NOT get any praise from me even if we got to the promised land, through his mis-management of our club.
