Whilst I don't want to see a club go under, I find it a bit stupid that the Premier League seem to be bending over backwards to help them. Presumably it's just them trying to minimise the bad publicity etc of one of their current members going pop, looking at it very cynically.

 

Surely if they were bending over backwards to help them they'd have accepted their request to sell players before they went into admin.

 

I thought they requested permission from FIFA to let them?

 

Edit - they did, but then denied it themselves apparently. Didn't realise that.

FIFA said yes, the FA and Premier League said no.

That means in a space of a year, Portsmouth, Southampton, and Bournmouth could of went under. Also arn't Brighton in a little bit of trouble?

 

Watch out Plymouth, virtually garunteed that they go down now.

 

Common denominator.... Harry Redknapp!

 

We can pray for Spurs turn next!

Yeah also I'm sure Sunderland will soon be in the market for a new manager aswell.  :shifty:

 

Surely all the fans on the south coast can have a whip around, and save one club, the one with the least debt and let the other go to the wall?  :shifty:

As much as i despise Harry it would be harsh to blame AFCB's problems on him. More his bent mate, Kevin Bond.

 

Sad to see them go under if they do, thought they'd turned it around after the last cash crisis but appears not. Shame as Eddie Howe is doing a brilliant job down there.

My Sunderland supporting friend is revelling in Pompey's crisis. The reason stemming from the fact the Mackems can't win against them. I s*** you not.

and also if pompey go into liquidatio tomorrow the mackems will only lose 2 points.....west ham would lose 6.

This is just a shame. I've enjoyed Portsmouth and was happy for them when they won the FA Cup. It's been a crazy adventure since Redknapp came for his second stint.

In hindsight maybe it would have been better for them to get relegated when Harry kept them up.

Portsmouth are an abomination of a club and in all honesty it's great to see them paying the price for their arrogance. When Keegan was manager here I recall they quite often pinched our transfer targets by offering stupid wages far beyond their means as a poorly supported football club. Even funnier that Harry Redknapp's signings have probably sunk them after the way he fucked us about when he was there.

Not really as we aren't a historically small club attempting to punch above our weight. We are a historically big club that theoretically should be able to compete with the best in England but due to incompetent management has ended up in the 2nd tier of English football.

we arent an historically big club. until 1993 we were a yo-yo club with very passionate suppost. and since 2004 have been a club on the drop and living on the minor glories of the recent past.

if other teams down the bottom are upset about pompey dealing outside the transfer window, couldnt the premiership just say "you're allowed to sell players and receive that money now, but you loan them til the summer"? that way, they get money, the buying club secures a signing for next season, yet theres no movement outside the window. its easily the best situation.

The transfer window applies to loans for Premier League clubs as well as transfers; if that was proposed they might as well go the whole hog and allow Pompey to make full transfers outside the window, because as the rules currently stand both loans and transfers are not an option at the moment anyway.

See, this is what really gets my goat - and why I struggle to understand why any NUFC fan would have a shred of sympathy for Pompey's plight. Allow me to explain:

 

If Pompey hadn't spent so recklessly, and instead managed their affairs responsibly, wouldn't it be possible that they might not have been so competitive last season? It might be drawing a long bow, but it stands to reason that their spend-spend-spend policy played a part in us going down?

 

I'm not saying that it was wholly responsible for our relegation, but remember how tight it was, and yes Pompey finished seven points above us. But it stands to reason that those seven points were accrued by players that Pompey simply couldn't afford.

 

Which is just another reason why I say "Fuck Portsmouth"

Don't think I worded it well. On FM for example, any time outside the window you can buy players, you just can't get them til it re-opens. So say we wanted Boateng, we can give them a few million now to secure him, but obviously he stays there til the summer.

 

Pompey get the money now, yet nobody whinges that a player has moved outside the window.
