The club did a charity collection for a children's cancer charity but used the accrued funds for other purposes. The charity received nothing. I understand that the fans or a group of fans raised the funds again then forwarded them to the charity which is probably why fans get angry when the term "charity thieves" gets banded about. When I use that term I'm referring to the club as the charity thieves as its a deserved insult based on pure fact. portsmouth FC are charity thieves. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who supports the clubs actions at the time are guilty by association and deserve the term used on them too.
Had it been any other business acting in such a deplorable manner, it would have been boycotted and gone bust.
