Big Geordie Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Still reckon the PL will do everything they can to help Pompey see out the season. When they are relegated, they then become the Football League's problem and the PL will wash their hands. They are as accountable on this as anyone, for me. Letting clubs be ran by folk who have no idea how to run a football club. Also wouldn't be surprised if there's been dodgy goings on money wise through Portsmouth - it may all come out in the wash. Feel sorry for their fans because they've been totally f**ked over. They'll do a Leeds and may well drop even further than they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 According to the papers this morning they can invoke a 'crisis club' claus to allow them to sell outside the transfer window but it will cost them a 9 point reduction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 This is getting so fucking dodgy. Now those tossers at West Ham are offering to lend them £10m as they don't want to lose the 4 points they would lose should Pompey go out of business.

They should tell them to fuck off tbh. The transfer window has only just closed. Whatever problems they have servicing their debts now will have existed 3 weeks ago when the window was still open.

Crumpy Gunt Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Only way it could happen is if a bought player is loaned back to pompey til the end of the season. Which in view of wages paid out makes it look a pointless exercize. It wont be allowed to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 They're basically relying on the goodwill of the rest of the PL and the FA just to complete this season. I still think they'll survive the season somehow but they'll go under once they go down. The only way they'll start next season is if they sell all of their players, reduce the wage bill by something stupid like 90% and play kids for the foreseeable.

midds Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If they are allowed to sell players outside of the window (which I've got my doubts about letting them do it) surely the players they do sell won't be eligible to play for their new team this season?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Not sure how the idea of selling assets would square with the transfer window regulation. I doubt the right to sell assets is absolute and overrides any other rules... will be interesting to see how it's worked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 also, in court of law, players could argue the fact the transfer window is a breach on free-movement, which is law in the EU the transfer window won't last another 2 seasons imo, it's a complete joke managers and players both hate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the clubs know that the transfer window is in place, and they should sell players during it if they need to sell them. Pompey have probably known it might come to this for at least 2 or 3 windows, plenty of time to sell players if they needed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I basically agree, common sense seems to say they should be allowed. Just quite a new situation - it's one thing saying Pompey are allowed to sell, but what about other clubs suddenly being allowed to buy? That's a whole new set of exceptions to the window. And what about the rivals of clubs who snap up Pompey players mid-season at bargain prices? Can't see a club being happy if they go down because a close rival buys two or three Pompey players who end up keeping them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
