Reading had a lot more potential than us at the time & were in the Championship but probably looked at the players & Manager's wages & went into melt down!
Thats quite a ridiculous statement no offence intended. Reading have always been a much smaller club than Pompey and always will be. Any football fan will tell you that. Pompey have a much a bigger following and many more trophies.
Reading have a newer stadium and barely championship status still but they don't have anywhere near the potential Pompey do.
Pompey will always be the much bigger club. Reading are just another MK Dons, a nothing club.
We are No longer a big club most on here agree with that now. Under the current owner I can't see that changing either.
Pompey has a lot more long term potential under the right ownership but currently we are just treading water. It's just potential until a new owner turns it into reality.
To be fair a lot of smaller clubs have a better infrastructure than Pompey but it looks like that is changing. Albeit slower than we'd like.
We now own our own training ground, and we are improving fp ready for sometime in the near future a redeveloped North stand to include the lower tier.
We'd all love it to happen instantly but the Eisners are developing the club slowly. I have faith in them.
Pompey in my mind and a lot of peoples mind will always be a big club with a great fanbase and history, and at the very least we will always be a bigger club than the likes of Reading, Bristol City etc.
We have great potential and I am sure that in time we will realise that with the Eisners. These things just don't happen overnight.
