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

You're quite right,there are some Pompey fans who are now claiming that because the new CVA
was proposed by Portpin,it now falls,because they have pulled out of re-buying the club.

They claim that if the Trust now buy the club,a new CVA will have to be negotiated.

Michael Appleton hoping to sign a further 7 players before saturday.

The signing of goalscoring midfielder Lee Williamson (Sheff Utd) is quite a coup.

Pompey have just signed 10 players on 1 month contracts.

Some interesting names there...

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pompey-complete-10-signings-1-4172202

Izale McLeod.

I don't rate him as highly as leefer does, but sympathy wanes somewhat if that is the type of player they will go for on a perm if the takeover goes through...

Am I the only person who can't see how a club that's about to go into liquidation can suddenly sign ten pretty decent players, while avoiding the penalty for it's financial situation?

If I set up a business which went bust while owing millions of pounds, the administrators presumably wouldn't let me employ ten new staff...

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.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I think it would be a real shame to see them go. I don't really care how a completely different FA administration treated us twenty years ago in comparison - the Pompey fans, like any fans, don't deserve to lose their club because of mismanagement by careless owners.

No the fans don't deserve it, but that's no reason to allow a club to ignore it's responsibilities, not pay it's debts and eventually continue on a level playing field with clubs who didn't chase the dream.

It's not anything against Pompey, it's the example being set. It's only saying to clubs, "spend and borrow what you want, if shit hits the fan we'll all forget about it, take some points off you, let you fire some staff here and there and just continue like nothing happened."

I don't really see any HUGE incentive to not do a Pompey.

Their fans didn't deserve to see their team win the FA Cup, make another final and play in the Premier League either.

Payback is a bitch.

I dont know how many times Ive said this, but whether or not I care about Portsmouth disappearing, football needs to wake up and realise it cant operate in the stupid boom or bust way it does.  Its not immune from the norm.  I want to see someone go under so people wake up to the way clubs are being run.  We're not immune to it either.

I was using it as an example, there seems to be a is an inconsistency with punishments.

I'd say, now there are a number of examples of clubs who've gone bust or been shat on and have had the spirit to bounce back, eg Aldershot, Accrington Stanley, Newport County and Wimbledon....I'd have thought Pompey could find a way back. Their present condition is an embarrassment to Div 3, it would be better for them to go into prob Conference South.
