Just watching Sky Sports and heard that Portsmouth only just fielded a team and that team included a first team coach at Centre back and the goalkeeping coach in goal didn't know this was aloud. Feel sorry for Portsmouth could be another tough season for them

You can play who ever you want as long as you register them as players. Bruce could even have the Allams register themselves as players and give them a game if he wanted to.

let's hope this 'tough' season finally finishes them and puts them where they deserve to be. ie out-of-business

**** the fans too

They didn't seem too bothered when their club's illegal activity meant they won the FA Cup and got them playing in Europe. **** 'em all

Oh, of course. How dare the fans of a different club enjoy success when nobody in the media or general public had any knowledge whatsoever of underhand financial dealings. :emoticon-0114-dull:

No club deserves to go out of business. I certainly didn't wish that fate on Hull when you were going through a financial bad patch a little while back.

I agree, but in Portsmouth's case where exactly did the fans think all the money was coming from?

You could ask the exact same question to us.

Where did we think the money was coming from when we were ****iing over the signing of Bullard? Who did we think paid for Halmosi, Ghilas, Kilbane, McShane, Olifinjana, etc.?

Also, why did we sign Koren on a decent wage when we were almost going bust at the same time? - That's a question I still don't know the answer to.

Cock off

Read the thread - you reap what you sow.

Of course you should enjoy the success. I just have little sympathy when the fruits of that success where gained by illegal means. If you're happy with that then fair play, just don't moan about it when you get caught. I would also suggest that after getting caught stealing taxes once you shouldn't really expect more sympathy when your new owners turn out to be just as crooked as the ones before them.

As a club Portsmouth have continually overspent, ran away from debts & stolen to gain success, the same club, supporters included, should now be liquidated and disappear the same way some smaller businesses have, directly as a result of Portsmouth's greed & immoral behaviour.

That's all, no further discussion needed.

Tonights teams problems are a direct result of Chainrai attempting to swindle the administrator of out money owed, not a result of the overspending from several seasons ago. If Chainrai had paid the administrators the money their due then we would have been able to sign some players properly and put out a team not made up of 70-80% youth team players.

The fact of the matter is you said said "**** Pompey and their fans" because we overspent during our Premier League years and the fans enjoyed the success when we were unaware of the financial miss-dealings - the first thing is we have and are still suffering from the overspending and accept that and dont complain about it on this website, the second thing is, as you yourself, conceded, any fans would enjoy the success if they were in the same position we were at the time.

I dont expect any sympathy whatsoever but there is a difference between giving no sympthy and just being offensive for the sake of it.

I know a few Pompey fans around these parts and they've said it might be better for the club to be liquidated so that they can start again at the bottom tier of the English pyramid. The real fans (and Pompey fans are proper fans) would support the new club in the same way as the AFC Wimbledon fans (but bigger numbers).

The club would then be owned by the community and eventually they would rise from the ashes back into League 2 and above.

The Pompey fans have been the loudest at any ground I've ever been to.

I don't wish bad things on them but if they do go under it won't be the end of them. PUP.

<ok>

It wasn't for the sake of it, it was for the stolen taxes.

If you hadn't overspent and stolen taxes there would of been no administrator to swindle. Right up to last season you were signing players you couldn't afford. Isn't Chainrai after the club again?

Having a go at Pompey fans for enjoying the success of winning the FA Cup and playing in Europe is not making a point about "stolen taxes", it just having a go at us for the hell of it.

Let's hope Pompey don't go under, how many people will go completely out of pocket for their services if they do get liquidated? I'm sure the whole world would agree they'd be better off liquidating and starting again, I'd bet a grand that in 10 years time they'd be in a better position than they will be if they carry on. This will be more punishment, and more difficult to turn around than just starting afresh. So hats off to them for grinding it out and taking the rough with the smooth.

Let's hope the tossers who put them in this position would get ****ed over instead, that would be far more satisfying.

I think every City fan would have enjoyed the success Portsmouth had. It has nothing to do with them and should be left alone

for the sake of their lovable, wonderful fans (and particulatly that T W A T with the bell), may I be the first to hope that they can resurect the club from the ashes based on stolen taxes and illegal trading methods. Can I also hope that this Chandrai bloke gets ownership again cos he has to be good for football, and that Pompey once again sign players who's wages they cannot afford, therefore helping to inflate the wage structure of all other clubs in the football league. I also hope that all the ex-pro pundits continue to hail the achievements of that lovable little club with best and least gullible fans in the world of football. Is that better?
 
I would be interested to see Portsmouth's wage structure and the actual fees they paid over the last few years. As I suspect they were living far beyond their means as we were under several previous owners. The major difference on the surface is that the owners we have at the moment seem to be on the surface running the club as a business, not a "living the dream, ala Risdale".

If Portsmouth are not able to function as a going concern ie paying local businesses for services etc then the pity is they have to be liquidated, and this has to happen to all other clubs who are repeat offenders. Why should the tax man, St John's Ambulance service etc etc get a few pence in the pound when owners and players are coining it in
