After almost three months under new ownership, we still have no clear idea about the state of the club other than that it is in a financial mess. Creditors, players and staff are being paid late and short term loans being raised in order to try to meet running costs. The club is seemingly rudderless with anonymous owners who refuse to communicate with the fans.
There is great anxiety that the club is being carved up and being bled dry by people who seem not to care whether we have a stable playing environment or whether its fan base is so wounded by the parlous state of the club that their passion and support is being sorely tested.
It must be made clear, however, that every single Pompey fan supports wholeheartedly the players, coaching staff and all the administrative staff who, on a daily basis and under what must be severely trying circumstances, keep this great club running. We salute their dedication.
We have been told on several occasions this year by owners, prospective owners and executives that the club would be moved to new levels we would not believe. Sadly it is now obvious fans have been deceived and the very future of our great club is at stake.
We make no demands, we simply want to see our Football Club run by people with openness, honesty and integrity.
And on those three principles we say to the Board. "We have NO CONFIDENCE in you"
