Can't argue with the fact that honours wise, Pompey are by far the most successful southern club outside London and, along with Southampton, potentially at least as big as Blackburn,Bolton,Wigan. And we can't be far behind those three either.
Bournemouth, West Ham, Saints, Pompey - all found themselves in desperate financial trouble sometime after Harry Redknapp had managed them. Entirely coincidental i'm sure. . . .
