Portsmouth announce loss of £23m
Portsmouth have recorded a loss of over £23m for the financial year ending 31st May 2007.
The club's wage bill increased to more than £30m as the playing staff at Fratton Park almost doubled.
The financial period covers the 2006-7 season, which saw Pompey secure their highest finish in the Premier League as they came ninth.
A Portsmouth spokesman told BBC Radio Solent that the results were in line with the club's expectations.
Sounds pretty bad, but they'll surely recover quite a bit of this from their FA Cup run and getting into Europe next year?
