What an absolute mess and as per usual the only people that will suffer are the fans.

The people who've got them into this mess and the players will all move on without a second thought leaving the fans to pick up the pieces, that's if there are any pieces left to pick up.  Very sad.

I would say 99.99% certain of playing away from Fratton Park.

I would say they'll be able to stay at Fratton as, like the CG, it's got to be used for sporting facilities, so it's no good Chainrai trying to flog it to the highest bidder.

There is no way any new club would be voted in at a higher league than Southern Football League (level Cool and even at a push the division lower being the Wessex League (level 9) of the league pyramid.

Pretty certain the powers that be in non-league have the option of putting a new team in at any level, as opposed to the FL/PL which is promotion only. When Southampton were close to going bust there was a rumour that the supporters group who were planning to reform if required had spoken with the non-league body (who ever that is) and there was an agreement they'd go straight in to the Conference.

Remember that there will be a space in the Conference if it happens as all the leagues shuffle up to fill the gap, so it's not like anyone would be forcibly relegated.

This is a rumour that is likely to be bollocks.They will not start back in the Conference/BSP.
They'll have to start from the bottom like AFC did. Who do you think Pompey are...Rangers or something !!!?

Anyway, it will then give Pompey time to get their dump of a ground up to FL level !!

Also, if they do go bust the FSA will be duty bound to investigate why they went bust.

Hopefully, Storrie, AA and co. will get the just desserts.

Tal Ben Haim was in the bar of the Portsmouth Marriott last week. He didn't look terribly happy, and didn't have any friends with him, just eating on his own.

36k a week does not buy you happiness.

There are a number of quotes from the chairman of the Conference at the time. Whilst he didn't give a reply to the question (as it was only speculation anyway) he did say they'd been approached, commented it would be crazy to put them way down the non-league structure and that if it happened there would be a common sense discussion with all parties concerned to decide the best course of action. Reading between the lines he was saying they'd have gone in to the Conference.

Wimbledon was a totally different situation, like it or not they were a brand new club. But they weren't made to start from the bottom anyway, they went in at level 9 and it goes all the way down to level 22.

It doesn't buy you anything if you're not getting paid it.

If only you'd mentioned this to the purveyors of sub-prime mortgage debt in America about 10 years ago the world would be a better place.

a lot of it has to go down to the amount of fans and if the grounds they're going to can handle it!
