Probably.....anyway the point is that a smaller club would have gone under by now...cant change the rules just for them.

Did they try to shift any of these players in January? If they did, and nobody wanted them then, what's going to be different 3 weeks on? If they didn't then it's their own fault.

I thought there was a special rule in the Football League for clubs to sell players due to financial reasons, though its possible this was a good few years ago and it got removed when the new transfer windows and emergency loans system came in to place.
I don't see the problem with allowing it, providing they are in the hands of the administrator and that they don't gain anything from it player wise - no signing of decent players to replace those sold even if it means fielding a youth team.
But as others have said, why the fuck didn't they offload everyone in January to help balance the books?

They tried to and couldn't shift them, even the ones they were trying to get shot of an a free. And for the same reason that they're in this shit in the first place - they offered the players stupid wages that they now can't afford to pay and astonishingly other clubs aren't keen to either. I suppose there's an outside chance some clubs may be more interested now if they've picked up a couple of long-term injuries they didn't anticipate in Jan, but if this is their genius scheme for saving the club, they may as well put the padlocks on now. |

They signed quite a few both loan's and freebies, surely if they was / are that much in debt etc then they should have been under a full transfer embargo so they could not sign anyone, I bet the players are looking forward to pay day |

It's the other staff, on salaries that they really need to cover their expenses, that I feel sorry for, not players on tens of thousands a week.

Interesting.
If the request is granted, I predict that we will move in to sign Matt Ritchie.

That won't even cover their tea and biscuits. |

All this because the current owner won't put them into admin as he would get very little of his money back.
Of course, if the judge lets HMRC get their winding up petition next week, the owner will get sweet FA.

It's a typical game of brinkmanship from an owner that's prepared to run the risk of the club disappearing altogether in the hope of getting some of his dosh back.
Fuck. There's something oddly familiar about that isn't there. I don't remember 5live doing a live fans forum at the County Ground Hotel when we were a couple of days away from being wound up, but I suppose the world begins and ends with the Prem nowadays.

Why would any club want to pay for pompey players now anyway? Just wait a few weeks and I reckon they'll get them for free |
