I didn't actually want to do this today - I wanted to start my football blog in its own seperate entity. But I feel like today should go to this lot. Today goes to PORTSMOUTH FC.
Today, they lost. Again. They're 8 points from safety, and that could be 17 by the end of next week. They're in deep financial trouble, and could go into administration by the end of the week.
After having four owners, and being on the verge of a fifth, they have over £60m of debt, and players, managers and owners are still suing them. Its a joke.
A club that won the FA Cup last year, they have been hit hard by debt, and the last year has been spent selling the team that took them to Wembley. Today could have been their last game at Fratton Park, as to stay in business, they may very well have to sell the stadium.
If only someone like Richard Branson comes in, pays off the debt and turns them around. Or Alan Sugar, who could just make a return into football to save a club. Whoever comes in will be a saviour, and a hero of the south coast.
Thats if anyone does. I hope they do. Play up Pompey.
PORTSMOUTH FC, you are the Day Dedicatee for Saturday 20th February 2010.
