Looks like D day today. Going to be deducted 9 points. I always thought it was 10?
I think the Premier League have different rules from The Football League, i may be wrong

There are less teams and therefore less points available overall so the punishment is less. Worked out as a percentage of available points it is actually a harsher penalty I believe.

jayohaitchenn is right. FL is 10 points, PL is 9. The PL punishment is (marginally) proportionately harsher due to the fewer number of games played, IIRC the FL led the way on points deductions for admin after Leicester's blatant gerrymandering of the system, then the PL followed suit. Technically they're wholly separate regulatory systems, but both are locking the stable door long after the horse has galloped off over the horizon

I'd have though Fratton Park had enough houses in the Area & a move to the Eastleigh Junction on the M27 would not be too poular in Portsmouth

By The Sun today, Andronikou saved us twice, in 2002 and 2007....Morons.

Officially into admin now...
Apparently, Storrie has given a list to Andronikou of people he could let go to save costs. Amazingly, Storrie hasn't put himself on that list, despite Andronikou is now in charge of the day-to-day running of the club, which puts Storrie effectively out of work.
Storrie should've done the honourable thing and resigned.

Pompey fan on Sky sports news thinks Storrie is payed £600,000 a year by the club and £600,000 a year by Gaydamak to keep his mouth shut and safeguard his debt.
Resign you prick!

If Andronikou doesn't put Storrie at the top of his cost-cutting list, that in and of itself should set alarm bells ringing about why he's been brought in.

I think Storrie is more the Holt figure in all this. Although I still fervently hope that the very least to come out of this is that he never works in football ever again

Surely Marc Jacob is the Diamanadis figure. Or Kushner.

Im already fed up with the way in which the press are covering this. Now its officially happened, they're talking about should the government bail out portsmouth and what an historic event it is.
Life exists outside of plastic football in plastic stadiums with plastic fans. Just because its the sky premiership or whatever its called, it's suddenly subject of mainstream news network phone ins instead of being left for the niche channels.
Maybe Im just a grumpy sod. I think thats probably the case.

For those missing the hilarity of the Friday statement, apparently Andronikou's doing a press conference at 3 pm. Presumably wearing his shining armour
