hutch Posted 9 December, 2009 Share Posted 9 December, 2009 (edited) The usual smell, from the spokesman quoted in the Express article: "People here are working around the clock to make sure this football club does not go into administration." and "chief executive Peter Storrie left at the weekend for a two-week break in Australia" Not all the people, obviously, and "We have gone into Portsmouth to sort out the mess." The vultures have now arrived, to pick over the carcass. And, what does "wide of the mark" mean. When I was coached in the art of answering awkward questions, I was told that there are only 3 possible answers - yes, no or I don't know.

bungle Posted 9 December, 2009 Share Posted 9 December, 2009 American Football has an interesting system. The team that finishes bottom has first pick of the next season's college draft, and every team has a maximum amount that it can spend in total on players' wages, no matter how many players they have. Look at how varied the Superbowl winners are to see how it works. Mind you, franchises there can up sticks and move to another city thousands of miles away. The US system is illegal here as it would be deemed a "restriction of trade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctoroncall Posted 9 December, 2009 Share Posted 9 December, 2009 One question for those saying that the Premier League would bail them out to prevent them going into admin: If that did happen and therefore Pompey avoided a 9 pt penalty, what would happen if they then managed to escape relegation? Wouldn't the team who DID get relegated feel obliged to sue the Premier League for taking actions which led directly to them being relegated? Would the Premier League really risk another trip to the law courts after the whole Sheffield Utd vs West Ham nonsense? We will soon see how tough the PL are if they lift the transfer embargo. I agree that the competition needs to be a level playing field for all teams and the PL will find itself in court if the skates get a helping hand, although perhaps it will be a case of if they receive help they are given a penalty as well.

S-Clarke Posted 9 December, 2009 Share Posted 9 December, 2009 (edited) If they come out of the other end of this, with no points deductions or punishments, then football is screwed. They shouldn't be able to get away with what they did. They're not in this position for any other reason than chasing the dream, very similar to leeds. I'm sure in comparison they spent the same amount as Leeds did a few years back (maybe even a bit more) If they do go down, i have no doubt that they'll be a complete train wreck. The worry is that they do stay up - as the premiership these days is full of utter dross. You do not need to be superstars to stay up this season.

Clapham Saint Posted 9 December, 2009 Share Posted 9 December, 2009 Lots of statements coming out of farton along the lines of 1) "There is no truth in the reports that the club might go into administration" and 2) "We are working around the clock to avoid administration". Now maybe they could explain how, if the first statement is true.... the second is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
