Portsmouth have been taking the absolute piss for years now. I feel for their fans, but they also got to celebrate an FA Cup win on the back of this.
Even in the Championship with crippling debts and having to pay players like Ben Haim and Kanu £30,000-£40,000 per week they were still taking on players like Erik Huseklepp, Dave Kitson and Liam Lawrence at £20,000 a week each. They broke their own self-imposed wage limit of £10,000 per week to sign these three players, saying that they wouldn't put the club in financial trouble. Obviously that turned out to be bollocks, Huseklepp had to be loaned out to get him off the wage bill half way through the season.
Now they entered League 1 with an annual wage bill of £11m spread over just 10 players. The irony, these players they threw stupid money at refuse to budge and will take the club into liquidation.
