No one with sense. They'll wait until they go into Administration, pay pennies in the pound on their debt, buy the club cheap and then invest.

Because they hoped to get away quickly enough.

If you follow the paper trail back far enough, then the whole lot belongs to Gaydamak because SAFahim and the new owners haven't bothered paying him yet.

So Portsmouth now have;

Mandaric - Tax Evasion

who sold onto;

Gaydamak - Tax Evasion (and funded by his father, who can't really come to home matches, being an international arms dealer)

who sold onto;

Sulaman Al-Fahim, who kept 10% of the shares he had bought with bank loans secured on the club and has yet to pay back, who sold onto

New guy who I can't remember, who is getting Far-East money to pay players, again secured on the club.

The whole time, this band of idiots has been employing Harry Redknapp, who likes brown envelopes as well.

As further fuel for people to come laugh at Portsmouth, the fan forum I usually post on has decided that because we can't get onto the official Pompey website that this has gone down to it not being paid. I see no relief for us Pompey fans

The likelihood is that those numbers aren't accurate, and even if they were there are so many bonuses and extras that mean that base numbers are fairly meaningless.

On the other hand, if Deco actually makes more than Didier Drogba, then that's literally the funniest thing I've seen since Paul Scholes whiffed at a shot and then deflected it in with his standing leg.

Quite liked Gareth Barry making more than Iniesta myself.

It's going to be bizarre if we do go out of business. Not having a club to follow after the circus that has been Portsmouth all of these years is going to be hard to adjust to. I might just follow Newcastle to try and mimic the experience.

But you won't get the experience of not being able to move anywhere in town on a saturday or gunwharf banning people in football tops or watching bitter fat men mumbling about playing harder as they walk back from the pub*.

the silver lining for Pompey supporters would be that they can now completely start from scratch with whatever team they want. even if they pick United or something, can you really ridicule them? they just watched their favourite team cease to exist. you'd have to give them a break...

They'll start a new team. Moneyfields or AFC Portchester or some other FA Hampshire side that does quite well.

would the revenue gained from Champions League football next year be worth more than giving Pompey money to stay afloat? intriguing options here

For a run longer than the group stages? Definitely. You're looking at 100 million Euro for the bigger teams just to get past the group stages I think

100 million for the final, knock-outs worth 30-40 depending on the size of the club.

Definitely more than that I thought? Remember seeing figures of 330,000,000E but that might have been for the pot for group stages onwards. :/

Somehow I doubt a shirt sponsorship will bring in that much for Villa.

Man United's deal with AON is 4 years at �20 million a year
Liverpool's deal with Standard Chartered is the same apparently

Aston Villa could probably get half that, so still �10 million in a year, which'd knock their wage bill down to less than half of turnover

Spurs' giant deal with Mansion was �34m over four years and that was the biggest sponsorship deal they had ever had.

So Spurs can get around half of the current Man U and Liverpool deals, and are probably on a similar level to that of Villa...which is what I said

11.47am: A little bit more on Chester City. The Chester Chronicle is reporting that no one from club's parent company was present at the high court today, meaning that the club's 125-year existence was ended in less than 30 seconds.
