Prediction Pompey will be going in backward motion for the new season, firstly Catlin has had a sideway move into one of the American owners other companies given a lovely title, if the owners think he was such a good businessman why take him out of a business that needs all hands to the deck, Reason it’s a way of getting rid of him.
Next the Cowleys employment, despite doing ok at Lincoln, unemployed in football for quite a while unlike our former manager (Orient) they do not have the experience to manage a large fan based club like Pompey, very good at talking themselves up, telling us how hard they work, fans will have them out by Christmas.
The claim of a £700,000 a month loss because of COVID with the owners covering the costs, absolutely rubbish, the British Government has contributed more than the American owners with furlough, rates cuts and massive grants not forgetting the money from the sale of players. Youth team, reserve team and background staff all paying the cost to reduce overheads for the owners.
The Vision for the future, Cowleys going to raid the none league clubs for players, what does this tell you about the ambition of the owners, the so called billionaires, they stole the Club for a pittance, have had their money back many times over and still owning the ground who’s natural value has trebled in the last 5 years, they have no allegiance to the people of Pompey they will walk away from PFC as soon as the best offer to fill their pockets comes in, leaving us fans once again to the next unscrupulous ownership.
So the new season starts and we all buy our season tickets because we love the Club, but once again we must prepare for even greater disappointment than the last one, we are a club that’s going into a new season run on the cheap, year 5 what has changed? prepare for underachieving even possible relegation
look at the clubs around us in our league, not making excuses about wage increases or decreases, they are actively putting squads together, PFC waiting for loan players as the owners won’t commit money, we have to sale the very best of our players to raise money to buy much lesser players.
Allegedly we are a club without debt, very credible but at what cost? Another rubbish underachieving season in the lower divisions, sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate, something our owners will not take the risk of doing, let’s hope the new CEO stands up to them and not just being spoon fed by the owners like the last one was, transparency was the key word used by Catlin from the beginning, what a joke!
