Stifler Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If they did survive then it would be the greatest relegation escape ever. The points deduction also means it is possible for them to go down with the fewest points in a season aswell, beating Derby's of 11 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 They will be able to sell players, I don't think that's even a question once they've gone into administration. Selling is not the problem, but can the buying club register the player for this season - or are you buying said player at the knock-down bargain price only to "loan" them to Pompey for the rest of the season, and then they join the buying club in the summer? Or are the FA granting exemptions to allow clubs to register ex-Pompey players outside of the window. What I'm talking about about is a full transfer with the buying club being able to field the player competitively straight away. Once a club goes into administration they can invoke a crysis clause to allow them to sell their players outside the transfer window with the transfer going through immediately. The Premier League/FA wouldn't allow them to do it last time they made the request because tney weren't in admin and therefore not officially in a crisis as far as the Premier League/FA were concerned. Ah, interesting. Wonder who is the first to go in the fire sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 going to admin, doesn't mean they won't get wound up, it means they are most likely to! it's bascially the owners trying to get as much of their investment's back, before being wound up Shouldn't be wound up if they enter administration. http://www.companyrescue.co.uk/company-rescue/guides/What-is-a-winding-up-petition.aspx Other than pay up there are only a few other options. There may still be time to propose a Company Voluntary Arrangement if you act FAST....call Keith Steven on 07974 086779 for a chat. Other options include taking legal advice on defending the petition (if is not an agreed debt for instance). If the business IS VIABLE and has a good future then administration is a very powerful means to defend the company against the petition. Administration will “stay” (or stop) the winding up petition and prevent a winding up order being made and any other legal action (except with leave of court). The administrator may propose a Company Voluntary Arrangement to protect the business and allow a repayment of debts for up to 5 years. Or it may be sold to a new company or buyers (including you as directors). See the administration guide pages here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Portsmouth are paying his wages then yes, if not then I'm sure he will stay, unless Portsmouth are paying for his accomadation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 How will the Portsmouth players react to the club going in to administration? Will they be paid? They may raise their game to try to impress potential future employers. They may just think "what's the point?" and go through the motions not wanting to risk an injury playing for a doomed club.

Couldnt give a fuck what the players think, its not like another club wont pick them up and offer them a similar wage and not forgetting these cunts have been paid well in the past. Its not going to be like a 50 year old steel working who has only known the steel industry and has suddenly found that he has no job. Fuck the players. People i feel sorry for are the none playing staff and the fans. The players and board members are a bunch of cunts. FACT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point wasn't 'let's feel sorry for the players', my point was 'How are the player going to react?'. They may play like shite for the rest of the season. It can't be good for motivation knowing no matter how well you do the club are almost certain to be relegated and you won't be there next season. Also I'm sure I've read if the players get paid late 3 times their contracts become void and they can walk for free if they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 It's the players and their agents demanding so much money and being greedy that has got Portsmouth into this situation, aswell as Portsmouth's stupidity aswell for going along with it, fuck the players, it's not like they have a mortgage to pay for, I find it very hard to believe that someone on as much money as they are on a week don't save up and buy houses etc in one go rather then getting mortgages and such, if that is the case then the players should have enough morals to play for nothing, or as little as they can get away with it.

JH Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 How dare the players accept alot of money? Any self-respecting person would have turned round and said "Oooh that's a bit high. How about you just give me half?" Nobody put a gun to the back of the Pompey board and force them to hand ridiculously high wages. The blame rests solely at the feet of the muppets in charge.

Guest neesy111 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 It's Official Now, Change the Title Portsmouth have become the first Premier League club to enter administration. The debt-laden club will also be docked nine points as a result which means relegation is almost certain. With debts of about £60m, they were due to face a winding-up order on 1 March but opted to go into administration unless a buyer for the club was found. It was reported that four parties were considering a takeover but Thursday's deadline passed without a conclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca888 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Portsmouth may just be the tip of the iceberg in the UK. I think what Platini is considering is somewhat like after the horse has bolted. This should have been done years ago with salary caps, reduced transfer fees and home based players brought in. I think it is too late to save many clubs now and you only have to look at the likes of Cardiff, Hull, Wigan and others who may follow Portsmouth into anonymity.

Salary Caps = illegal, easily circumvented and ridiculous if not universal Reduced transfer fees = contravening basic laws of capitalism ie supply and demand, willing buyer and reluctant seller Home-based players = illegal, counterproductive How about chairman be forced to undergo a basic economics class?

It was impossible for anyone to do because they were instantly shouted down. Almost any suggestion by UEFA/FIFA that something needed to be done had strips torn off it by the "everyone running the game is anti-English" brigade. It still happens now to some extent. The plan to force clubs to break even is a start, but it's not the solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
