Doesn't the trust bid rely on a council loan anyway.
If Chanrais "nobody loves me everybody hates me" speech is to be believed then the terms of that loan aren't great.
I think that the loan had to be repaid from the parachute payments, which he wanted to use for the day to day running of the club. |

According to the BBC, the Football League have given special dispensation to Portsmouth meaning the points deduction which they should have for starting the season in administration now won't happen until they come out of administration. Not quite sure why they are getting special treatment and what if they spend the entire season in administration?
Not sure whether it is a good idea letting them play this season. There is still some serious doubt as to whether they will avoid liquidation and at best it could take months to sort out. The bigger issue for me is that if they are saved, once it goes through they will be able to start bringing more and better players in. Which gives an unfair advantage to teams that got to play against the youth team.

So in theory any team that now goes into adminstaration and gets a points deduction could appeal the decision and get it over turned citing the situation at Portsmouth. Therefore not being hit with a loss of points. The whole situation stinks, just relegate Portsmouth and get it over with for fucks sake. |

Would certainly be interesting to see how this decision has been justified - I haven't seen any explanation of it from the FL yet though.

It seems if you're Portsmouth you can do what the fuck you like, but if you're a Leeds (-15) points, Luton (-30) points or Swindon (relegated two divisons) the football league will fuck you over. Granted Portsmouth are playing with mainly youths but still if you're going to enforce the rules then apply them to every club.

Surely there has to be something different about pompey compared to all the others listed. The league can't just make it up as they go along.

Nail. Head. Hit. Thats just it though, every team seems to get treated different and there does not seem to be a clear cut punishment from the FA/FL. As Batch just said they really are making it up as they go along. So what happens if they escape punishment, a last minute buyer comes in with shit loads of money and does a Leicester? There would be a outrage throughout the Leagues. Pompey should start the season on -10 at least just like all the other teams had to in similar positions. |

But surely they suffered their 10 point deduction last season.
Just because they are still in administration this season shouldn't get them punished twice for the one 'offence'

Luke Rodgers from New York to Portsmouth (via Norway), bet he's gutted he's got that criminal record.
Shame Jerel Ifil couldn't get a deal.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19286219"The club will start on zero points, with the conditions of membership announced at the Board's previous meeting - including a 10-point deduction - not coming into effect unless and until the club exits administration."

The second points deduction is for failing to agree a CVA. That's pretty difficult these days as HMRC object in principle to all football club CVAs due to the football creditors rule. Since the preferred buyer has pulled out, Portsmouth are still in administration so the 10 point penalty which was to be applied this season hasn't in fact been incurred yet
