Today`s News of the World made the claim “are Portsmouth the poor man`s Chelsea?” Are these views based purely on the fact that a Russian owns us both and that is where the similarities end?
Is the “poor man`s” claim because our Russian is a mere Millionaire as opposed to Chelsea`s Abromovich`s Billionaire status or are they implying Pompey are just hoping to throw money around at anyone as many would claim Chelsea do? (This is not necessarily my opinion.)
With our lack of signings to date (despite our reported efforts) we are seemingly more like a poor man`s poor man but being labelled a poor man`s Chelsea will quite happily suit me.
The same paper would claim Sol Campbell has agreed a £40,000 per week deal. We will offer Spurs £2 million for Danny Murphy and £4 million would see Sylvain Distin arrive (didn`t he say no in the week!) and a further £2 million David James?
Let the poor man`s Chelsea revolution begin!
