I'm sure you could have made the point equally well without quoting the Daily Hate Mail.  You'll lower the tone of the forum!

Unfortunately they've provided more substance to the story than most other news outlets!
Normally,they'd be my last port of call  Smiley

Here's the Portsmouth News instead!

Seem to remember Livi making similar assurances that "players will get paid soon", "just some technical difficulties transferring funds" all last season. Before having the leccy cut off and coming within an ace of going bust before being relegated 2 divisions over the summer.

That is worrying.  You do get a feeling that Pompey are about to return to earth with a bump...on & off the field.

That is not a club that's going to respond well to a ten point deduction.

Did anyone hear the Pompey supporting chap on 6-0-6 the other week telling the nation that he felt that a club like Portsmouth should be in the Champions League.

Comments like those are the reason I listen to 6-0-6 Smiley

I'd love to have heard his justification. Presumably he didn't have one Smiley

Isn't the 10 points deduction a Football League thing?

I'm not aware of there being anything similar in the Premier League, or is there?

Either way I'd say they are looking royally fucked at the moment. Not sure why the new owner would want to pump anymore money in, he might as well just pile up £50m in bank notes and set fire to it - I'm sure Sky would pay a shit load of cash for the TV rights to it.

Could this be the first Premier League club to go bust?

Yes, but its 9 points IIRC

Probably not, although it's a neck and neck race between Pompey and West Ham at the moment, with Liverpool showing strongly on the outside rail. But in reality, don't think any of them are likely

If they do go out of business, Great Britain is going to turn in to a seesaw and might even sink as a result of 200,000 people on the south coast jumping up and down at the same time, with the knock on tidal wave wiping out the Isle of Wight. We'll probably hear the cheering in Swindon.
