    Not sure I'd very happy to read they are on tour in the US if they owed me money!

    Hope they rot, always had an irrational hatred of Pompey. Just another club that tried to buy success and failed, sod them I say.

    Well said Bournemouth'!

    I too am very surprised that a club in so much debt, can ship its squad to the USA for 2 weeks.

    They should be looking to trim any excess expense. They must still be stuck in a Premier League mindset/fairy land.

    United make the money through selling merchandise plus the MLS will be paying them a fair bit to go there and play. I think they rotate it year on year so they go to the US one year then Asia the next.
    I can't imagine many Americans are rushing out to buy Pompey shirts, nor will they be getting anywhere near as much appearance money as United will be.
