Portsmouth Matchday Prog: The Trust 17:34 - Nov 30 with 1695 viewsQJumpingJack

An interesting paragraph on how the author already claims a play-off push is beyond us for this season.
That will help ticket sales.

If the Yanks knew what the were doing we wouldn't have got into the position of Parachute payments.


Indeed. They were not a good fit for our club for many well documented reasons and history has now shown that to be the case. Jenkins can take the blame. I still can’t believe he got away with it. And not only him.

I still can't believe that they were trying to promote USA Soccer, Bradley and poor quality players on loan, over the betterment of our club.

Many people including Trust members and supporters envisaged total disaster when the club got relegated. Falling down the league and shutting the academy.

Some predicted that the owners would asset strip and put the club into administration.

Instead they stabilised the club and gave Cooper the tools get into the play off twice. Unfortunately The Danish guy at Brentford club with no parachutes was better than Cooper with the who who's of top English talent. Guehi, Brewster, Gallagher, Gibbs White plus Gyorkeres.

Failure is the norm for football. Success is the exception. Only 12.5% can be promoted.

Levien and co have written off £69m and handed the club over to good people who have £20m to invest. They did not sell for £20m with no money to spend.

It is not easy and Levien has accepted he is not able to do what is needed. Coleman has persuaded him to hand over the reigns.

The "good riddance" posts from fans is inappropriate. The fans group have turned themselves fro big players into irrelevance.

In the Toshack era Swansea could not even sellout the Vetch for some first division games. 14,000.

If Levien has a bad senses of humour and a vindictive streak he would have handed over the club to the Trust.


It is unbelievable that you argue against the simple facts that when they took over we had recently won a major trophy for the first time ever, more than held our own in what most accept is the best league in the world quality wise and were talking about increasing the capacity to allow those who could not at that time get a ticket to do so.
The interest in the club was international with followers from many countries watching us physically or via the media.
As I stated earlier, we are now struggling against apathy to get fans to attend.
The fact that they paid an alleged £100 million and according to you gave it away for £20 million says everything about how "succesful" they were.
The fact is that they came and saw what they thought was a golden egg to allow them to make a fortune when in fact it was just a plain old chicken egg.
As mentioned elsewhere, their attempts to bring in an inept manager just because he was American, rather than based on his talent, says everything about their lack of knowledge about the game and their investment.

You do not even understand the figures be cause you are careless and do not digest facts. The Americans spent £69m to buy a controlling interest. £1m per 1%. The club itself was valued at £100m but £21m of that was owned by the Trust.

The Americans have not sold the club for £20m but £3k. Coleman s team have £20m to invest precisely because Levien took the hit for them.
These facts are lost because your understanding is poor.

"Yanks good riddance" is easier for a limited intellect. It sounds a bit arrogant perhaps? The world is a tough place. If people are not sure take advice from people you trust.

Silverstein was as straight as an arrow as far as I could see. He came over and sorted out a Welsh mess. He is visible. The people of the 10% do not even show up for forums they promoted. The fourth guy last time was the commercial fellow.
