Tamesaint Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 Pompey are heavy favourites to win League 2. Thoughts? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-2/winner For a club with a bright new future and exciting new fan owners these odds seem about right. Playing in front of a packed"Fortress Fratton" each week they should be odds on to go back up. For a club that is limited to freebies and players rejected by other clubs it may not be so easy. A half full Fatpipes Fratton will not be that intimidating for the opposition in their season's "Cup Final." It just needs Champagne Iain to have a bottle too many and start to p*** off other "share" holders and the whole edifice could start to fall down. It may be worth waiting for the relegation odds to appear and have a cheeky flutter on them being non league by 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 28 May, 2013 Share Posted 28 May, 2013 And in cultural news, the one billion pound Harbourdome project finally has a rival in the Fantasy Island Planning Awards. Some visionary businessman has come up with a plan for the crumbling South Parade Pier - and I think he has The Lampitt Storrie Consultancy working on the figures! It seems that the plan is to push the crumbling wreck over before it falls into the sea, ignore any listed buildings status, and replace it with an international arts and culture centre to rival Tate Modern and MOMA. Simple as that. Project costs have been done using portsmaths and pinned down to a worryingly unrealistic and vague £20M-£30M. But it's okay, it will be funded by private investors while the Guggenheim Foundation will be invited to chuck a few million in, AND to fill the new landmark with their art collection. So much easier than the museum doing their own thing, just give their money and art to someone else... Presumably there will be provision for a casino in the basement, then they just need the council, Maradona, and Tesco involved, and it's a goer! And if it doesn't work, the taxpayer can always pick up the tab. What's more likely to happen in portsmouth - Guggenheim Southsea opening, or the CVA creditors getting paid? My money is on 0 out of 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 (edited) Eastwood has just signed for Blackburn: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22691556 Alan Knight for GK? They've already signed a 25-year old ex-Charlton (reserves) keeper who was on loan at bottom but 3 AFC Wimbledon last season, so I'm guessing he's the starter. They also have a 38 year old who didn't play for them last season either. 46 career appearances in 8 years, 4 loan clubs, 2 free transfers. 5 appearances for Charlton in 2011 the peak of his footballing career so far. It's quite refreshing really. Edited 29 May, 2013 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 Biggest crowds, many of whom are incredibly deluded, so safe to say their odds are shorter due to that for starters - how were they odds-wise for League One last season, I seem to recall pretty short odds considering the pending -10 ? Exactly. Bookies' odds aren't just about the likelihood of an event happening; they also take into account number of bets made, because that affects their possible losses. Plus supply and demand affects price anyway...why offer long odds if enough fools are putting bets on at short odds? So if, for example, enough people put bets on Nigel Farage becoming the next prime minister, the odds would be fairly short, even though it is highly unlikely to happen. Portsmouth having probably the biggest fan base in L2 now that Braford aren't there, means that they will have more deluded fans betting on success than any other L2 club and that in itself will make them favourites.

I thought it was a well known fact that the trusts business plan involves placing the next paracute payment on them winning the league - hence a £6m bet has shortened the odds somewhat. its a win / win scenerio - win the league and they are quids in and can push on to premier league top 4 and FA cup glory - fail to win the league just go into admin and pay everyone they owe 2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of the impending power struggles over the fat pipes freehold (those charges...) and the land surrounding it. In recent years, the word Portsmouth has become synonymous with how not to run a football club. Indeed, the financial woes are never likely to be forgotten.
