A totally meaningless gesture by the Football League,to dock Pompey 10 pts this season.

Not for those that were owed money, who received 2p in the £. Don't know the actual figure but it must be the best part of £100m of debt that Portsmouth have been able to wipe out. Should have been kicked out of the league a long time ago.
I presume that you also think that us being in Admin twice means we should be kicked out of the league?

Blimey I've noticed recently that I'm agreeing with a heck of a lot of Jonny's posts. Spot on here too.

JW said our likely punishment by the FL for going into admin was likely to be demotion or to be kicked out of league, so, in comparison, Pompey have got off lightly.

I think the rules should be changed, you can't back date them. I've been consistent in my view that clubs (including ours) shouldn't spend beyond their means and more drastic action needs to be taken to stop this from happening. The current 10 point penalty is a joke and a lot of the time has no effect on the clubs league position - for both Coventry and Portsmouth it is meaningless. Portsmouth have got away with murder, they've ended up in League Two through being shit rather than as a penalty.

Sorry for being negative, but with no substantial investment, I give Portsmouth 2 years before they dont even exist.

I've not got anything against Portsmouth - actually I quite like the club - but there does seem to be that the 'big' boys get away with more.....

Always found Pompey fans to be complete and utter bellends, well most of them anyway. Much prefer Southampton out of the two. Therefore may their misery continue for a few years yet.

Pompey are my local team and their fans are passionate - let's face it they go through all they have been through, get relegated and they fill the ground.
Good luck to them I say. If their model works it could well be the blue print for a lot of clubs to come.
And Saints fans have an certain big club arrogance.

I think they'll be fine next season in L2. The new owners will run it as a football club should be run e.g. they will only spend their turnover not extra investment. But at L2 level with their crowds they'll have a bit more for wages than a lot of other clubs.
