How about owners like Bloom and Benham who spend their own money on their clubs and don’t plunge them into debt ?
Eisner’s fortune grows apace, now approaching $4 Billion (£2.92 Billion at today’s Forex of 1.37), he could very easily invest a further, say, £5 Million ($6.9 Million) in Pompey and give us some relief from the dross he has foisted upon us.
That represent about 0.01% of his fortune……to give us fans a chance of having fun at The Park again and smiles on our faces.
Instead he is our very own Ebenezer Scrooge with DC cast as Bob Cratchit (or is it Tiny Tim ?) only this tale won’t have the same happy ending I fear !
What right have we got to ask him to suddenly change from a business man to a sugar daddy when he made it absolutely crystal clear when we voted for him that he would not do that ?
Sugar daddy owners that put money into clubs without incurring a debt are few and far between ... dream on if you think we are likely to get one. We never have in the past.
Personally I'll settle for an owner that sorts the ground out to ensure a future for the club and runs the playing side of the club in a sustainable way that would not lead to disaster if he suddenly died or left.
I can get as much enjoyment watching Pompey struggle and work out how to improve as I do watching them win most weeks (which to be fairi has happened on only a handful of seasons in my lifetime) as long as they are putting the effort in and I've no complaints on that front this season from either the coaching team or the players.
We are 4 points off the playoffs with 34 games to go and a squad with the capacity to improve as the season goes on. One bad defeat does not destroy that any more than the brilliiant victory in the previous game meant all was well.
Well if you're happy to put up with this crap then good for you. One bad defeat you say? What about Cambridge, Burton, MK Dons? Were they all good defeats?? If we have an owner who is not prepared to invest in the team then we need another owner. I've lost interest in the club and many I know feel the same. We have a great fanbase and are an attractive proposition, I'm sure tightarse Eisner could sell up to any number of prospective purchasers. I don't think he realises that we won't always turn up if we're playing dross football at the lower end of the league. I reckon he should count himself lucky he's not at the games, then he might come face to face some passionate fans for the wrong reasons.
