For once in my life, my previous post wasn't actually intended as a poke at Redknapp. Merely at anyone- be that the director of football, chairman, manager, chief exec- who would sanction the paying of such a massive salary to such an ordinary player as Utaka (especially at a club like Pompey...

And how could we forget 'Arry's mate, John Utaka at Pompey, earning upwards of £70k per week :lolol:

Of note from the first paragraph or so: we lost £283k per week. Or, less than Wayne Rooney earns in the same timeframe. I'm not sure if that's to be celebrated or laughed at?
