An experienced football administrator, Mr Andronikou has already saved one club from extinction - clearing Swindon Town's creditors when they went in to administration in 2002 and 2007, earning him huge praise.
I nearly spat my lunch out at this point but then...
Bob Holt, director of Swindon between 2001 and 2007, told The News: 'He's a first class operator. If the club stands a chance of surviving, this is the man you want at the helm.
'I think this is probably one of the best things to happen to Portsmouth, he'll probably end up saving the club.'
Mr Holt says he has known Mr Andronikou since 2002, when Swindon first went in to administration.
Omifuckinglord it's Baghdad Bob.
"He's very personable and keeps the fans and everyone informed what's going on." Couldn't. Make. It. Up. FFS |

This is all a bit surreal.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to any Pompey fan reading this. Andrew forking Andronikou?! You poor, poor people.
Also quite strange to think that Bob Holt actually still exists.

I quite like Bob Holt in a "wouldn't mind kicking his face in" sort of way. Fond memories.

Bob Holt is one of only a few people on this planet I could quite happily punch to death. Jesus Pompey fans if you didnt think you could go any lower andronikou arrives. YOU ARE FUCKED.

Storrie is charged with Tax Evasion as well isn't he? on top of Portsmouth trying to claim VAT doesn't exist - are we sure Dunwoody are not in there already?

Colin Farmery, of Pompey Supporters' Trust, now wants a meeting with him.
He said: 'It's encouraging to hear he's got good references from Swindon.
No, he's got a good reference from Bob Holt, which is like getting a good reference from Saddam Hussein !!!

To be fair to PST, they've likely got to deal with Andronikou over the coming months, and we well know he has, shall we say, a somewhat fragile ego. So it doesn't do any harm to accept him at face value in your first public comment. Certainly wouldn't help Pompey fans if PST came out and said "We've heard this bloke Andronikou is a right dodgy cunt and we wouldn't trust him in charge of the WI tea and biscuits kitty" would it? Strikes me they're playing a smart straight bat on this |
