Would that be the training base the supporters funded long before Tornante had ever heard of Pompey?
As has just been displayed with the ESL, American owners don't understand what it involves to truly support a football team in Europe. It's not about packing everything up every now and again and moving to a new city, it's about the roots that grow through a long time association with a particular town or city. I didn't want Tornante to purchase the club and to this day that fact remains, only it has grown much stronger over the years. I lived and worked in America and I saw at first hand that to the owners it's a business, nothing more and nothing less. The Eisners are no different to the Glazers, Hendry and all the others that have taken control of European clubs, only they have less personal wealth.
