I don't know.

They announced anyway, and I quote, Portsmouth Football Club has endured significant hardship in recent years and supporters have remained loyal throughout.

This referred to Eisner's time, this hardship.

Is that sound as the hardship of a refurbished Fratton Park?

Is it the introduction of a professional Pompey women's team?

Is that the hardship?

Is it the hardship of a new fan zone or the hardship of a return to spending millions in fees on recruitment, which we've been doing

in the last couple of years?

The hardship of sold out crowds of 20,000?

Or is it the hardship of promotion to the championship?

Hardship?

There are many times in my history of following Pompey when we could have done with hardship like that.

But now the alliance called for an end to remaining loyal.

We've had enough of that stuff.

And their appeal has led to some others emboldened on social media to make clear their unhappiness with Pompey's present predicament.

And I understand that.

Some are shocked, disappointed, even angry that summer optimism has to be punctured into winter fear.

But personally, I don't think this means anyone should be forced out of Fratton Park.

I don't believe...

Those in control are either arrogant or stupid, which is both of which they've been accused of.
