Football in financial turmoil
I know that this new comment should be in the SPORTS section, but l read an interesting article by Stan Collymore in one of today's nationals papers, concerning the major financial problems at Pompey.
It has been announced that there financial plight is bigger than has been revealed, and it is almost certain that the players won't get any bonuses for the cup final achievement, and any money they make, this will be used to pay debtors, and they won't go into Europe, as they didn't have to money to get the licence needed to get into Europe. The FA and PL should have acted much quicker, when they knew that there was a club in trouble, the PL is supposed to be the richest League in the world, so how the hell did Pompey get into this mess, the Directors of the clubs are a disgrace to have allowed such a great club like this to get into such a state. What should have happened, Pompey should have been expelled from Cup competitions, and told IF you cannot pay any debts, then you cannot play football until such time as finances allow, players had to wait for wages, And now there is a report that faxes have been sent to all PL clubs, saying that ALL the clubs players are up for sale, what a disgrace.
