He is, but I think they sneaked the news out on Christmas Eve

I'd love it....love it

Redknapp will be charged sometime this month IIRC, it broke just before Christmas.

Anyway, feel sorry for the fans, but I hope Pompey go bust. They should award that FA Cup to Cardiff too. For them Pompey to win it with a manager (soon to be charged), a chief exec (charged), a chairman (charged), and a set of players they didn't bother to pay for is farcical.

I really like the way that SSN are using a piece of footage to cover the Mandaric story today which lingers and lingers on Old 'Arry - without mentioning him in the commentary. Neat.

As above, he's been charged

On the quiet, but charged all the same

As the man himself put it, "farcical".

He's one of the great characters in football, loved by everybody, never a bad word to say about anyone, always defending poor, put-upon managers from fans with unrealistic expectations (just ask the great Roy McFarland. Some people are evil).

Good on you, 'Arry. Keep smiling - football is with you, against these health and safety, politically correct, tax collecting fiends.

O RLY?

Can't help but see this as a case of biting the hand that feeds. Speaking of case, exactly what does Portsmouth's amount to? "It's not fair"? F*ck off, you shouldn't let idiots run the club.

Being sued for £1.7 million by Sol Campbell now.

I assume that Campbell has realised that if he doesn't nail his claim to the mast now he'll be at the back of the queue when the wheels finally come off.

Add that to the fact that he is a very odd personality with an huge screw loose somewhere in that head which always shows itself in the most outrageous selfishness (reports from clubmates & friends say that under any form of stress he just takes-off & goes walkabout & refuses to make contact with people. His decision to sign for Notts County & his flounce out within a couple of weeks examples this. He had a £100,000 per week contract ffs.) AND that the contract which got him to move his very expensive self to Portsmouth must have been a very generous one indeed .... and was arranged in the Appy 'Arry, Gaydamak days when anything went ... then he probably is owed some stash.

So much for Portsmouth's "we're in the clear" claim earlier this week.

I was very impressed with their thinking when the PL redirected the cah last week. They claimed that this cleared all the money they owed (true, in that it covered THIS MONTHS money's owed) so stump-up the remaining £2m & then let us spend it on new players & all that entails, by lifting the transfer embargo. The fact that they will again owe money next month is, they argue, irrelevant. In fact, they may have a point .... in strict legal terms.

They have also developed that strange trait (it's a Rednapp thing I think) that because they overpaid for players they can expect new employers to overpay for them. Some of the fees they are (reported to be) demanding for their current players are ridiculous ... & in what really is a firesale too.

Who, in their right mind, would sign for them at the moment ?

I'm sort of torn on the Campbell thing. Clearly if he signed a contract with such terms in he has a right to the money and it's Portsmouth who are (once again) to blame for promising too much. On the other hand, I do wish he'd think of the fans and drop it. Of course, I've not seen his bank balance so he might need the cash...

The fun won't be over yet. As I understand it, Gaydamak is looking for his first tranche of the £25m they owe him. About £7m, by about the 1st Feb, so I've heard.

AVRAM GRANT reckons the Premier League are going against the spirit of football by refusing to lift the Portsmouth transfer embargo.

Skint Pompey face losing top stars without being able to replace them.

Boss Grant rapped: "It is not just about money. They must think there are fans here who live for the team."

Ah, the "West Ham Defense." "Yes, we broke the rules in an egregious way, but punishing us would hurt the fans!"

.... & today Udinese have referred Pompey to the Sports Arbitration people because of failure to maintain payments for Sully Muntari.

Another interesting one, a-la Glen Johnson. He was bought for £7m and within a year sold to Inter for £14m after only 29 games (kudos to te scouts by the way ... though he initially signed as he was promised infeasible wages, higher than those offered by Inter, AC, Juventus & Roma).

So, again, having made £7m profit they still owed £4m+ to the club they'd taken him from. They are now defaulting yet still claiming this is unfair of Udinese & is precluding them entering the transfer market again this month !!

It must be Alice in Wonderland world down there.

So the question remains. Wheres the money gone? Somebody (or some people), somewhere has (have) it.

It was never there. They'll've borrowed against future income, most likely.

Gold and Sullivan said the other day that West Ham had already borrowed against as much as 70% of the next two year's season ticket sales. It's madness.

The fourth floor, at the moment.

Maybe cloud nine, later.

PORTSMOUTH could anger their fans even more by naming just THREE subs for tomorrow's relegation crunch with West Ham.

What kind of asshole would do a thing like that?
