Stifler Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 3 down from the Prem and an extra 1 up on all the leagues bar the Championship which still sends 3 up. Either that or make the Championship a 23 team league. Or give Milton Keynes or some area around London a place in the league just for the hell of it?

Ryan_Taylor Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 2 to get relegated from the Championship, shirley? 1 Less from Premiership relegated, 3 up from Championship. 1 Less from Championship relegated, 3 up from League 1 and so on. You don't see a problem here ? I see some law suits arising if that happens. Nah, Warnock's on the way up Must still be 3 down from the Prem really. Anything else makes the Championship even smaller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Gaydmak has so much to answer for, he was the one that got them so much into debt and now he's asking for unreasonable demands, the guy deserves a beating of all of the pompey fans.

Raconteur Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think Jonny is right and it wouldn't make any difference to teams going down as the only way that could happen is if only two came up and that wouldn't be fair. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the Prem went frm 22 to 20 teams didn't three go down and one come up? I remember Wolves being ripped off during that changeover season (I could be mistaken though) The point being that "fair" doesn't mean shit, really. Expediency and money - that's what counts. And if Liverpool ends up 18th, you know which way the wind will blow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
broonalegeordie Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Shame for the supporters. 15k fans will be supporting AFC Pompey or some shiz like that next season. Bad times. Why couldn't this have happened to Wigan or Hull?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 The wording of the statement leads me to wonder if this is a last second ploy to save the club. As I said, they were out to expose Gaydamark and plea for sympathy. It is desperate, but it has worked for them. What happens to Kanu/the rest of their players? Are they released immediately? do they have some form of contract insurance so they collect the money they are owed? 'You're always going on about Nwankwo Kanu, you're never going to meet him.' I've actually met him several times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 It's good that Portsmouth now don't seem to be going bust and great for the fans, however it is bad for football that a club can piss about like they have and get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 So, out of admin and sold to the guy who has really been in charge for a year by the 'administrator' he appointed and payed for. There's a shock. His first statement "We are going to need to borrow money from elsewhere" There's another. On it goes. Good article here, by a Portsmouth fan. He was the only fan when people were still buying Peter Storrie's tall stories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't exactly call relegation, having to get special dispentation to sign players just to fill out a full team and still a potential free fall to league 1 as getting away with it.

Guest gggg Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Of course they've got away with it. Any fan of a championship team would take 8 years of Premier League football with European qualification and an FA cup win plus another final for the punishment of ...ending up back where they are now in the championship. If it was a non league team or business without the fans to use as emotional blackmail they would have been liquidated based on their finances alone, never mind the dodgy stuff that their last four (ignoring the one they made up and didn't exist) owners have been involved in.

Stifler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 And back in it? Their parent company has been placed into administration which could result in them being deducted 10 points which would currently leave them bottom of the Championship 10 points adrift. The football league is set to decide if they should be deducted points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Isn't it a possibility the penalty could be more severe having been in administration little over a year ago? Pretty sure I read that somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Isn't it a possibility the penalty could be more severe having been in administration little over a year ago? Pretty sure I read that somewhere. Luton got clobbered with a larger penalty for that reason. They could easily lose 15 or 20. Surely the FA need to do something to stop clubs being gobbled up by mysterious offshore holding companies? It is easy to do- they need to implement a licence-holder system which protects security from being taken over shares or assets of the club against liabilities of the parent companies.
