and paid for it, -15 and into admin..

Not harshly enough imo.

I would be more concerned about you going down then what happened 3 years ago to Leeds. We got docked a total of 25 points and have Bates at the helm, the latter being more than enough punishment!

I wouldn't be surprised to see the premier league keep Pompey running to the end of the season and then wash their hands of them. Not very good for their global image clubs going bust.

There is a difficult balancing act for the Premier League here. Whilst they don't want to see Portsmouth go bust, if they do something to save them then West Ham may think 'we don't need to bust a gut to get things shipshape as the Prem League will save us'. Other clubs will follow.

Whilst it is embarrassing for the Premier League, I think they need to let Portsmouth die simply to draw a line in the sand to show the other clubs there will be no bailouts.

Sky News are currently reporting that the taxman has rejected a payment plan from Portsmouth and are pressing for a winding-up - they could be gone in under half an hour.

[TheChipPrince]

If the taxman gets the wind-up order, how do they re-coup what they are owed?

[Colchester Kev]

News down here says that the most likely outcome is a 28 day adjournment... however there is mass amazement that the club have gone to the tax man with an offer of a lump of cash and the rest in instalments, but have no plan which says what the repayment schedule will be.

Administration is going to be the end result imo, if not today then certainly be the end of the month.

[pokefast]

FFS Kev get round there and write em a cheque.

[Colchester Kev]

LOL ... Peter Storrie has got all the money salted away, dont worry about that.


It is a scandal really, the blame is being laid at Storries door down here tbh ... selling the club 3 times to skint members is just fucking criminal ... and Storrie will have made a good few quid brokering shitty deals.

The problem with administration is that there is not the prospect of the club improving financially in the immediate future. What an administrator does with a business is cut costs/sell assets to improve the finances. The club's main assets are the players, but none of them can be sold before the transfer window reopens.

Portsmouth have no cash and aren't getting any anytime soon.

I am not bitter, just think Pompey have broke so many rules and regulations, changed ownership just to keep off from paying the debts, not paid the players on time month after month. Aldershot didn't get this much time and effort into them surviving. Null and void all their results this season and send them away If they are allowed to get away with this it sends out wrong message.

Pompey fans have not been backing their team so much this season eh? not selling out their tiny ground.

The sooner the rules are in place to not allow clubs to be in debt the better.

WTF this is coming from a leeds fan who has seen it all 1st hand

[Acidmouse]

there is and was a huge difference in whats happening/happened at both clubs. Leeds went into admin got deducted to points fair and square, Bates bought it back again and tried to fool a few people into paying them 1p in the pound etc and we got -15 again.

Pompey have been juggling and cheating the fianances for years now, trying to change ownership a number of times to fend off admin. Totally different.

Is it a crime to not be bothered if they go under? just becasue its a larger club than Aldershot? no one cheated or let them survive.

Remember when it was obvious Leeds were going out of the Championship? Bates tried to go into admin at half time of the last game of the season to avoid the deduction the next season.

Premiership table discussion on Talk Sport is fairly interesting, what will they do with the points from playing Pompy if they do go?

BTW this is not about Leeds its about Pompey. I got somehow attacked for thinking Pompey deserve it. Leeds went into admin and paid for it, why cant Pompey do the same thing and accept relegation?

Yes a few other clubs have tried in the last games. Wrexham being one of the last ones to do this? I blame Tightends team were they not the original club who caused alot of these problems by deliberately going into admin and coming right out of it to wipe their debts? Ok for them then.
