Seems it’s not just Rovers

Sack the board!!

[silent majority]

There's a lot of clubs who are in this position, not just us.

Legislation over the years has been brought forward to stop clubs 'self harming' yet there is a mindset in amongst the fan bases that demand that clubs do this. It can't continue.

Totally agree SM if clubs/fans aren’t prepared to learn lessons from football then they need look no further than Rugby Union

Portsmouth don’t seem massively overexposed fundamentally. Total wage bill of £7.8m on gates of 18,000 seems fairly sensible gearing.

Would imagine with their “previous” they will be very wary about debt

They're improving the stadium considerably and last time I heard their head honcho, he seemed to have his head screwed on how they intended to move the club forward.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re still paying it off!

Director of Pompey Eric Eisner on Twitter:

“Just FYI, John was not picked because he was the cheap option; he was picked because we thought he is the best choice. Every time we talked to him, the more impressed we became by him. We are happy to welcome John and have him work with Rich to build and lead the first team. #pup”

Sounds like a reply to our fans

They've appointed the auto-complete Jose Mourinho:

I suppose that they have exhausted the second-hand market, generally playing safe in the past and it really hasn't delivered what they are after.
