Good read. Beard really is a top man. Great acquisition by TF and his board

Despite all the panicking and worried posts, I think we will be ok of we go down. Philip Beard is a successful business man, as are the mittals and fernandez. The difference between us and clubs like Pompey is that their owners were dodgy and were in it for a quick buck. Our board look like they are in it for the long term.

Even if we do go down, we will be fine.

I have to say that I don't think relegation is ever a good thing- in our case even more so with the players we have recently taken on board.

However it's good to hear that we will still press on with plans.

How are we even discussing relegation?!?! Things have gone so wrong since Stoke.

im not saying relegation is a good thing mate, far from it. i would be devastated if we went down. but the fact is its still a big possibility.
there have been a lot of posts recently about how much trouble we would be in if we did go down, which is understandable given the financial situation pompey find themselves in.
theres no doubt if we did go down we would lose a lot, maybe all, of the players we have signed this year, but i believe we have the financial clout to sign the players we need to get us back up again. i also believe the fact we have ambitious owners and have attracted the calibre of players we have signed this season will make us a more attractive proposition for good players to sign, not to mention the manager we have (if he stays).
i dont want to go down, and deep down i dont think we will.

Thought Fernandes said if we went down he would have failed and would step down? I'm probably wrong so don't quote me on that!

he said "if we fail" which i think means long term. but everyone panicked and automatically thought the worst, that he would step down if we were relegated.
