Michael Saunders

@Luke313131 @VelimirZajec @deanmaskell @Michael_Eisner The thing is, the situation wasn’t binary. Had we voted no (as I did) to Eisner’s underwhelming plan, that didn’t mean we were fan owned forever. The ownership would’ve evolved. Who knows, the Wrexham boys may’ve tried to buy fan owned Pompey instead. Sadly we’ll never know.

@VelimirZajec @deanmaskell @Michael_Eisner @MASaunders75 I'd happily have stayed fan owned and challenged in League One than be owned by this lot and watch us cling on for dear life at the arse end of the Championship.

The no. 1 reason I am so so angry with @Michael_Eisner is that the PST sold Pompey to him because he promised a “challenger”championship side. Something the PST couldn’t. But we could afford to run a league one side. He has broken his promises he made at the guildhall.

@RobaFett1898 @eric_eisner @Michael_Eisner It’s AI. The original version doing the rounds had this text - AI is still crap at doing text. Someone has then photoshopped better text. It never happened.

If you don’t understand the full weight of what this image means, then it’s time to sell-up. To 99.99% of people in Portsmouth, football is more than just a game @eric_eisner @Michael_Eisner #pompey #pfc #portsmouth

@PompeyNewsNow @reluctantnicko £800k which will pay the interest on the loans for one year.

Wrexham to go back for Terry Devlin, according to @reluctantnicko. No surprise. #Pompey

@AndrewFleet12 Clubs not grounds.

@MASaunders75 York have changed ground

If #Pompey do go down there’s a chance we’ll complete visiting all 92 clubs in the 21st C. The 1st club to do so. Would need Salford & Bromley to go up, Barrow to go down & National League clubs coming up to be two from Rochdale/ York/ Carlisle/ Scuny/ Forest Green/ Southend.

@WarryRobert @PompeyNewsNow I was born the day before our 1st home game that season. My 1st year alive seeing Pompey relegated and scummers winning the cup. No wonder I was constantly filling my nappy. 😆

@MASaunders75 @PompeyNewsNow Remember 1976

#Pompey have only been relegated from the 2nd tier three times in our FL history. 1961 - financial shock due to relegation after 32 years of top flight football 2 years before. 1976 - SOS Pompey era. 2012 - in administration.

@jason999potter …of football and the fact he was being advised by Catlin meant he thought he could invest £5.67m to buy & £10m to pluck Justin’s and Brittany’s to fire us to the gold pot of the Prem. 9 years in and £37m equity, £22m loans to date & he’s probably fearing where it’s going.

@jason999potter They own Pompey as they wanted a franchise in English football, the biggest global market in the biggest sport. He said in the Guildhall stage about live ‘content’ in an on-demand streaming world. However instead of being ‘Wrexham before Wrexham’ his lack of understanding…

Now that it has been proven beyond doubt that the Eisner's ownership model of #pompey has been completely debunked, what team should we have tried to emulate? Who is a good team owner?

@jason999potter The Wrexham boys realised that the investment was as both financial and emotional. Eisner’s was purely a business deal. Tornante are an investment vehicle, however the madness of football industry is totally at odds with his ‘cautious’ business approach.

@Luke313131 @officialfournil Can’t agree. I watch Four-Nil and listen to 3 Lads and both have called out the owners over the years to be fair.

@MASaunders75 @officialfournil Wasting your time, Michael. These fan boys care more about their little YouTube interviews than they do about the club. Not real fans.

“That’s why we’re going down” sing the #Pompey fans in the away end here at Loftus Road

@stevebone1 Simon Mayo used to use it on his Radio 2 All Request Friday. Maybe he used it back in his Radio 1 days as well?

#TOTP Am sure Garden Party was used as a jingle or something on a Radio 1 show back in the day - possibly something with DLT? Anyone remember?

@SonStats The main thing I learned is the £8m loan in last season’s accounts has seen another £9m added this season with that expected to rise to £14m by the end of the season. That’s £22m debt with interest at reported 3.6% = £800k p/a. For Bank of Dad/ succession see Gregory & Gaydamak

Would thoroughly recommend reading this review from PST which highlights some fantastic detail on the latest accounts! As fans it's easy for us to judge without knowing the full facts but this is a good opportunity to increase your range of knowledge. Learn something! #Pompey

@june21wahoo @SonStats You’d better get in a time machine and go back to 2021 and tell the Hollywood boys not to bother with Wrexham on that basis.

@SonStats I doubt there'd be a queue of people lining up to buy Pompey, financially it's struggled all of my 52 years, yes we might go down, and yes we should have ambition, but I doubt there's too many out there who's going to invest. But you never know....

@rebzeleanor Hull away was £24 behind the goal but was £29 for the corner/ side section.

For anyone interested in how Championship away ticket prices compare, based on the highest Adult ticket price charged to Pompey fans over 20 games sold so far, it works out at an average of £31 per game.

@fraze1976 @dwright75 The Danny Baker archive channel has 12 Talk Radio episodes. The file I have has about 60. The website was called ‘twohundredpercent’. Not sure it still exists. There’s even Baker’s ‘last’ 606 from Nov 1992 in there as well as some midweek ones from 2009. A treasure trove.

@MASaunders75 @dwright75 They’re on YouTube

Danny Kelly isn’t my friend. So what I say counts for little. But I’ve twice been on shows with Danny and he treated me with reverence & respect for my knowledge and work. That’s what makes him among the best broadcasters & person. He’s a class act. I wish him well

@DickoPFC @pn_neil_allen That’s based on the £17m with the £9m for this season. The PST assessment of the accounts says “funding will exceed £10m and be heading toward £14m by the end of the season.” That puts the debt at £22m by the summer with the 3.6% interest being £792k p/a. 😳

@pn_neil_allen the interest on the £17m will be c£717k per annum at current interest rates. Just wanted to flag it as it’s not been mentioned in dispatches
