Portsmouth Director Andy Redman Steps Down

The club has today announced the departure of director Andy Redman following 8 years of service.

Redman had been director of both the men's and women's side and had been part of the furniture at Pompey since his appointment in August 2017, when the football club was taken over by Michael Eisner and the Tornante Company.

The American had been with the group for over 2 decades, more recently holding the title of president, and this decision comes as a result of a new role he has taken up as CEO of MARV, who have only recently invested in Premier League side Brentford.

In an official club statement, the departing director said: "Serving on the board of Portsmouth FC has been one of the great privileges of my professional life.

"I'm profoundly grateful to Michael Eisner, the entire Eisner family and the club's exceptional management team for their trust, partnership and passion over these past eight years.

"I'm incredibly proud to have played a small part in such a successful chapter for the club. Pompey have given me memories I'll always cherish and I will remain a devoted supporter from afar."

Blues chairman Michael Eisner added: "Andy has been with Tornante from the formation of the company, being my key partner in the acquisition of Topps, partner in organising our television operation and key partner in all our investments.

"And of course, he was my key partner in the acquisition of Portsmouth Football Club, where he has led our ownership team from the beginning.

"From our closing the deal for Pompey when the club went from League Two to League One, to finishing League One at the top of the table and being promoted to the Championship, to staying in the Championship last season, Andy has been with me each and every day.

"We wish him well after 20 great years with Tornante. I know he will succeed big time."
