They will receive their deduction when they are taken over. League rules do not allow clubs to start 2 sucsessive seasons in the same admin. Therefore its highly unlikely they'll start next season with -10 because if they're still in admin , its goodnight Vienna. As for not being funny anymore, it never has been. Charities not paid, and financial doping on a scale never seen in English football before. Not once, but twice and it's still going on. McCloud I think his name is, just signed for mk dons, the manager Karl Robinson told ssn " he's taken a pay cut". Taken a ****ing pay cut !!!!!! From basket vase skint club in admin to stable top 4 club and he's had to take a pay cut. They never learn, just moan and moan,crying and whinging about the unfairness of it. When the truth of the matter is they should have had the Luton treatment. Palace, Leeds,us,boscombe all took our punishment and got on with sorting the club out, these clowns are still over paying players,still staying in posh hotels for northern games and still knocking local businessmen and charities. Laugh? Its far from funny. What is funny is the deluded halfwits thinking they're going to be a fan owned club, when the truth is its a consortium fronted by a property devoloper, using a bit of the fans money. By their definition Wigan are a fan owned club, because Dave Whelan supports Wigan.
If that piece about McLoud is correct, then something is very wrong. The league should have a representative in there setting maximum salaries and that would also mean even more youngsters getting a chance.
Coventry have one of the best away records in the division. They'll win at Fratoon Park but I can't see Pompey surviving althought is expect another 15-20 points from their remaining games
So your telling me no one down there was gloating when our demise led to Saints languishing in league one with -10 points. Boots on the other foot now!! Skates are now flapping and floundering and it makes me smile.
To be fair Herm your lot didn't play too badly in the second half against Walsall they will get some decent results. Especially if you can keep Connolly fit. Sadly though I too think you will bbe going down and the last thing you need is for things to drag on re the courts otherwise the 10 points deduction will be carried over!
Should read plenty did, some didn't. Don't feel sorry for me?? Get my kicks?? I actually don't spend too many woken moments thinking of Pompey.
Well clearly you spend enough time thinking of our plight for it to make you smile. You must be the kind of person that enjoys watching other people suffer through no fault of their own. What a charming person you are.
At the moment we couldn't beat an egg. Even if the PST take over is successful, a 10 point penalty will be triggered, putting us [as things currently stand] 12 points from safety. Liquidation remains a serious possibility, but even if the club does survive, relegation is already looking like a foregone conclusion. With the quality difference between Leagues One and Two being so small, the current squad could well find itself struggling to stay in the Football League next season, unless the new owners can pull a rabbit out of the hat. The club is in a sorry, sorry state at present; a lot worse than it was in 1978, when we last found ourselves relegated to the fourth Tier. One thing it saddens me to say is that our lowest ever league finish [7th in the Fourth Division in 1979] is going to be under serious thread this time next year.
Saw a bit of your game last night Devon and it was all pretty poor. Your supporters are still singing though! On the bright side it can't get much worse.
Well your fall from grace could be argued to be partly down to your fans turning a blind eye to massive wages paid for by invisible money. Who the feck is laughing now?
That's an occupational hazard of being a football fan I wish ill on pompey fans with regard to their football club, not their lives and families?? Its how local football rivalries work. I've been to every Saints/Pompey game since '75 and I've yet to see any of us holding hands in mutual adoration. Both clubs have had their on/off pitch highs and lows in that time. Pompey fans have smiled at our lows and visa versa from Saints fans. Its a football rivalry ffs. Always want you to exist but don't expect sympathy in your times of plight for gods sake
Oh yes, I had forgotten that I went to Alexandre Gaydamak back when he was owner and said "Sign Lassana Diarra now! I don't care how much he wants in wages" Likewise I'd forgotten that devonFrattoniser went to Chainrai and told him to sign David Norris and wages be damned Okay, I get your point but there's a difference between us just being **** and being relegated, which of course I wouldn't begrudge you enjoying, compared to enjoying watching a team on the verge of being liquidated. The former is fine, it's just rivalry, the second, well anyone who takes enjoyment from a team being liquidated, I would have to ask what the **** is wrong with you? I'd include Portsmouth fans who enjoyed Southampton being on the brink in that as well.
Didn't realise the phrase "turning a blind eye" meant actively involving oneself in said activity. MASSIVE FACEPALM.
Yes, because clearly we were privy to the club's financial affairs and knew everything that was going on in the boardroom at the time, just like the fans of every other club in the world.
Quite a few of our fans are pretty clued in on our finances and wages, and we apparently have a totalitarian mentalist in charge - so why was it not possible to extract even second hand material regarding wages of newly signed players at Portsmouth? I'm almost certain that if you wanted to know - perhaps not to exact degrees - the wages of your team and income of the club, it would be possible to do so.
But what could you do about it if you knew. Pompey fans went to an FA Cup final...would anyone expect them to boycott it. Of course not...you take your pleasures where you can.
