Give Portsmouth what they've earned.

 

Earned with a squad they can't pay for or sustain? Unfair advantage, is it not?

 

so the players and the fans should be punished because the owner is a knob?

I think that Pompey should decline the offer of playing in Europe fpr the good of their own club.  They even admitted that it caused them problems so they shoud decline it and pass the poisoned chalice to another club.

 

Portsmouth goalkeeper David James says victory in the 2008 FA Cup final set the club on the road to financial ruin.

 

"It has had a terrible effect on the club over arguably the last 18 months," said James,  "Qualifying for Europe was financially and physically damaging for the club."

 

"Had we not won the FA Cup, bizarrely it would probably have done us a lot better, because we would not have qualified for Europe and would have been able to build on two decent years of progression.

Aye, we were punished by being relegated, as they are too. If we had got to the FA Cup and were being told that we were not going to be allowed to play in Europe because of the owner being a financial arse would you just sit there and say "aye, we don't deserve it!"? Would you shite, and don't for a moment say you would because you wouldn't!

They needed a Uefa club licence they haven't so they should not be allowed to enter. Owners/Chairmen from the other PL clubs have already agreed to them getting parachute payment money early & now they are expecting to enter a competition they don't even have licence for above clubs who have spent time, effort & money getting there's in what a BUNCH OF CHEEKY TWATS. Pompey are playing a dangerous game here because they may/will get knocked out 1st round & then when they go begging to PL Owners/Chairmen  again shit like this will be remembered.

 

They need to do a tactical retreat on this issue, praise PL clubs for there help so far, try & win the cup & then next year when they have no players at least the can ask to borrow some from PL clubs.

aye, but it's not the players and the fans fault!

 

The fans must feel like it's one big kick in the balls after another tbh.

It is not the fans, clubs & players fault of other clubs either. They are going to a  Cup final it is not all bad.

 

There team next year will be s*** & very likely to go out in round 1 in front of a less than full Fratton Park. Why risk pissing off clubs  who have already bent rules to help Pompey out more than winning Europa Cup will ever do & no doubt Pompey will be seeking help from cash/player wise next year.  It is not like we are talking group stages of the CL league here it is the Europa cup ffs.

And by reaching the FA Cup final Portsmouth have earned a place in the Europa League, regardless of their financial troubles.

But they don't have the right licenses for European competition, so they haven't qualified.

 

if they can't qualify, the place should not be given to another team in the league, as they haven't deserved to get it!
