Storrie resigns as Chief Executive

He seems to be a good guy and I have believed him to always be doing his best for the club but,... It was he who introduced Al F who could bring us to new level and was around when things became unsustainable many months ago and nothing was done . For the sake of his reputation and for the sake of us all he should explain what his responsibillities and knowledge was and also what did the previous 'owners' portray to him what they were about and had. Which as we have discovered over a long painful time has been sweet fanny Adams. If he comes across clean I would still stand by him.

I cannot change my opinion long standing opinion that his departure is long overdue I met him at the time of D'Allessandro's departure and it was massive ly apparent that Storrie thought this club was his feifdom. I am only sad that so many got taken in by him, and others allowed themselves to be used by him. I do understand his amazementbat the hypocrisy of hundreds of fans who sang his name, but he who lives by the hypocrisy sword etc etc.

I still think he was good for the club until Sasha pulled the plug. His time with us was generally the best we have known & only so much was in his control. Whatever happens from now on we are on a massive rebuilding schedule.

AG will stay if we get a proper owner with money. PS was good under Sacha but he is obviously no judge of character. Whether he is to blame or not, his family doesn't deserve the abuse.

I've had time to review my earlier statement and I still, still, can't help but think the club would have been better off without him, those ridiculous bonus offers and contracts he arranged; allowing Harry to take 10% of the players bought and sold, the continual issues with transfers and agents. it all adds up to a negative balance- metaphorically and literally. I do feel we would have won the FA cup with HR and without Storrie; it could be said given the deals going on it is debatable if you'd get one man without the other. Can't say it was all negative cos it wasn't we won the FA cup and were a force in the Premiership; all people remember are the lies. Someone once said " judge your time by the quality of the people you leave behind" Pete's legacy is administrators, unpaid creditors, a destroyed team and modt sadly 85 redundant people who probably won't work for Pompey again. No I can't change my opinion.

I've never been one of the biggest Storrie-bashers around, I do believe he had the club's best interests at heart, I applauded the way he would always talk to fans and there is some truth in his being an employee, not the decision maker. But he was also the chief exec, and as such has to take a level of responsibility. That's the difference between an executive on big money and an ordinary joe on average wages. My biggest concern about him is that he presided as chief exec while the HRMC went unpaid, I find that unforgiveable. Now that so many of the 'ordinary joes' have found themselves out of work, its only right that he should go as well, on his big money. Its also time for him to move on, in fact has been for a little while now.

the blame for everything cannot be layed completely at storrie's door but when all is said, having been in the position that he has for so long, that level of responsability DOES entitle him to have a fair amount of blame aimed at him - when all is said and done, as said countless times, he was the one offering out the money to players, he was the one putting this 'clauses' in contracts and the 'sell-on fees' that were included in many have seen deals nowhere near as good as they could have been. his stance has varied between 'knowing and not knowing' that things were not sustainable - he SHOULD have known one way or the other and acted accordingly...
i do not condone the threats made to his family, and him personally i guess - as you cannot - but i am not going to feel sorry for him, would he feel sorry for me if vital pompey, which is MY life and job, went out of business again - in many ways as a result of pompey going under? i do not think so...
i have never really liked the guy, Chix you know this as i have never hidden this fact have i, but i must say that my disliking for him has grown over the months the more and more he has distanced himself from any blame! when the going was good he would bask in the glory - when the ***** hit the fan his stance was something like 'i am nothing more than a club employee' or 'i am on a par with the tea lady!' bull***** peter - he SHOULD have shown some honour and resigned months ago...

I just think he didn't get the rub of the green when it all hit the fan.

I don't know anything about a witch hunt or his family being abused. If that is the case, then it shouldn't be. However, I am glad he's gone and no, I don't feel sorry for him. He should have fallen on his sword a long time ago, the buck stopped with him.
