When questions about your football club are raised in Westminster and the Prime Minister agrees
that the situation needs investigation then you know you are in a bad way. Not because you might be
investigated but because the Prime Minister actually knows what Penny Mordaunt, MP for Portsmouth
North, is talking about.
Just read this article from the Thackley website, Looks like they are looking forward to our visit
on Saturday.Expect fireworks (of the legal and enjoyable kind) as the Seadogs hope to rocket
up the league and the Dennyboys look to avoid a damp squib.Whilst there is still the League Cup
to play for, the mantra of "concentrating on the league" is perhaps uppermost in Thackley minds as
they look forward to entertaining Scarborough Athletic on Saturday.
Polish female football fans strip off to save club (NSFW pictures)
Football clubs going to the wall is obviously a terrible thing, but sometimes even the darkest
clouds have silver linings. Take Polish IV League side Klub Sportowy Hutnik Krakow. The club went
bust once before in 2010, and are now on the verge of a second liquidation.

AFC Bournemouth supporters staged an impromptu 'protest' after the final whistle of their 3-0
home defeat to Chesterfield on Saturday, which basically involved a mass haranguing of owner Eddie
Mitchell for his decision to flog off seven of the players that saw the Cherries reach the League
One play-offs last season after being promoted from League Two the season prior.
Regular readers of this site will be all too aware of the recent problems that have beset
Plymouth Argyle Football Club. Plymouth's supporters, in conjunction with whose of Brighton & Hove
Albion, are now planning a protest on the twenty-fourth of September to which supporters of all
clubs will be welcome.
Liverpool used the services of a little-known agent, David Bromley, who is based in Maidstone,
Kent, when they signed Andy Carroll from Newcastle United for £35m on 31 January. Carroll himself
stated on his contract that he did not use the services of an agent at all; a solicitor, Richard
Green, said he had advised him.
"This was our best chance for silverware this season. I now think we'll end up 6th and lose to
Milan on aggregate. Back to the same old Spurs."
Thusly opined my Spurs-supporting chum Ian immediately after the full-time whistle on Sunday,
presumably running out of characters in his text message before he could predict relegation,
liquidation and the end of the world.
