sky reporting they may not be able to fulfill there remaining fixtures

while i dont really wanna see them go bust cos the rivalry is good

am i right that all teams who have taken points of them

The rivalry would still exist as we would become rivals of any AFC Portsmouth that gets formed by their fans.

It is in the Football League rules that all their results would be expunged.

 

Meaning...

Poor old John Anthony Portsmouth Football Club Westwood, HAHA

 

wont happen though, they'll find some way of playing the season out, FA will support them, even if its the under 18s

 

Joeschmoes right, it wont be allowed to happen. The football league will find some way of letting the fishy thieves wriggle off the hook (again,) at least til the end of the season. After that they will most likely play the "plucky pompey, best fans in the world" card as usual. And yet another dodgy chancer will take a punt on the f*ckers, just as long as all the outstanding debts get written off of course.....

Very unlikely they will go under mid-season, FA/football league will pull out all the stops to complete a full league table, worse case scenario would be they fulfill their fixtures with a scratch team and then disappear at the end of the season. I'm pretty sure if they did/do go under and finally knock all their creditors the league would facilitate a 'fresh start' as 'Portsmouth 2012' playing at a non-league ground share in Lge 1 or maybe Lge 2, franchise-Dons style. Pretty sure they would get a buyer/funding to operate in that scenario; not sure what their competitors would make of it, but hey...

 

Best we can hope for is that they have shipped out several more big earners by the time they play us, you never know though; we had an 'impossible' ending at the Dell, what would be the odds on Pompey's final game ever being a 6-0 stuffing at SMS?

If they had a bucket collection at St Marys to help save PFC -as they have done for other clubs in the past - would anyone contribute?

 

Whilst not in any way condoning the methods used by the PFC board in the past to achieve 'success' , I would not like to see any football club disappear and would rather support the BEST club in Hampshire rather than the ONLY club in Hampshire (with all due respect to Aldershot). Every club - including ours - has its moronic supporters but I feel sorry for the ordinary fan - just like the majority of our fans - who just want to go and watch the team they have supported for x number of years.

This is absolutely not true. The FA and FL couldn't give a toss if one of their member clubs goes to the wall. If anything it might make others think again about exploiting the rules by massively overspending and the example Skate Cheats in particular have set by conning their way to the 2008 FA Cup, and their demise makes the FA and FL's job easier.

It's very sad, but Pompeys finances are so bad, I can not see why anyone would want to buy them. They would probably get a better return by chucking all their money down a drain.

 

Shame really, I was looking forward to our match.

 

I beg to differ.

Yes, I'm sure they'll get a large contribution.

I'm with this.

Everything they achieved as cheaters should be wiped from the record books otherwise it just gives everybody else the green light to **** the taxman over and go and buy players that command silly wages to gain an unfair advantage of the rest of the league.

****ing let them cheating bastards die I say,they got away more or less unscathed last time and now they are trying it on again......it takes the ****.

From what the administrator is saying, unless someone comes up with money in the next 2weeks that's it, they're done

 

Listening to Trevor Birch, you get the sense that they're done, absolutely no value there whatsoever, they don't own anything. With or without the Gaydamak payments they only have weeks and its his job to recommend liquidation if that is the inly option. Him coming out in the press today is the last plea for help, see if that stirs anyone into stumping up the cash they need

 

If not, it Will be up to the FA/FL to decide if they stump up whatever it costs to keep them going until the end of the season, and I suspect there's probably legal implications all over if they do

So let's get this right, West Ham will be worse off if Pompey folded?

 

I do honestly believe that Gold & Brady will loan Pompey some money to keep West Ham in the promotion race?

 

Just a thought.

 

West Ham don't have any spare.

There is no precedent for this other than the PL chucking money at the Skate Cheats that they were going to get anyway as parachute payments - and look how that's turned out. The FL has absolutely nothing to gain by helping them limp to the end of a season, opening the door to them potentially causing further problems next year.

 

They are still going to be paying the same amounts out next season apart from the 2 players out of contract, and the only way they can avoid that is by defaulting on their contracts which will be a legal nightmare. The Football League doesn't want this problem, and there is no reason why them dying mid-season is any better or worse for them than at the end of a season.

 

The integrity of a competition is upheld by it's rule enforcers sticking by the rules, not by artificially ensuring the badly-organised can still play all of their games. The League hasn't baulked at points penalties and no-one is claiming "integrity" is being compromised there.

 

The FA of course no longer give a toss, just like the Premier League don't now they're not their problem - it would take the Football League 3 years of punishments and loans to see Skate Cheats off their radar in the same way as the Prem did - or they can just leave them alone and it'll happen naturally in a few weeks, by the sounds of it.

I'll believe they'll get liquidated when I see it. Whenever a club has gone into administration recently the bloke in charge has said if no one buys the club, we'll go into liquidation. It happened with us. However everysingle time a deal has been done and they have avoided liquidation. Even with the fit and proper tests and the lack of assets Pompey has some chancer will still come in and take them over on a deal with most of their debts wiped.

Yes, but not going up means they'll be in a similar position to the Cheats. It shit or bust for them, so I can see them "buying" a couple of the Cheats' players with enough money (just added to the Hammer's huge debt) to keep them (the Cheats) from folding mid-season.

A pound coin was thrown onto the pitch at Fratton.

 

The police don't know if it was a missile thrown during the match or if it was a take over bid.

 

hehehehehe. tears streaming down the cheeks here.

 

Personally, I think f*ck em. Let 'em go to the wall this time. Its in the best interests of the game.

 

But bloody hell does the top 3 look tight then...

They are completely screwed, they could play there under 18's but they will not be able to pay them, electric and other overheads, or travel to games.

 

They will get relegated if they do not go out of business. Who is going to buy them, it is not going to happen, if they were a horse they would have been shot long ago. They do not have liquid cash!

Yes I thought that we would be in much better position than that. I take it the games in hand will never be caught up, so I suppose you have to take this out and ignore the games in hand? Or am I confused? Reading play them on Saturday don't they? Or soon anyway.

Everyone still plays 44 games, so they still have games in hand.

Are you f**king serious ?

 

Were they handing around buckets for us in 2009 ?

Did they show any respect whilst we died on our feet at Krap Notarf in 2005 ?

Did they show any respect when we wanted a few moments of quiet remembrance when Ted Bates left us ?

 

FOOOK THEM.

Would not be allowed and in any case it would just add to their overall debt.

Wouldn't it be hilariously ironic if them going out of business in a few weeks shot us clear of the chasing pack and back into the premiership. Icing on the cake would be if it meant West Hoof dropping into the playoffs. It really is SO important for them that they get promoted after following the skates lead and spending money they can't afford.

I still can not understand why some folk want to see them die. Is it the paranoia that they might beat us again in the future?

Clubs need rivals.

 

1. I'd like to see them saved (not by a rich Swiss consortium, but funding to keep them survivable...but poor :) ).

2. We thrash the **** out of them at St Marys.

3. They go down.

4. We get to play them again in the future...and thrash the **** out of them again.

Do think it would be funny if their final gesture of any significance would be to take points off West Ham's total to give us the championship!

 

Wonder how long it would take for kids in portsmouth to start wearing saints shirts? It would happen if we re-establish ourselves as a top tier team and they are no more - might take a while though.

I'd like to win the league fair and square without their help, they'd bleat on forever how we only won the league because of hem.

 

Oh hang on, they'd be dead, ha ha ha ha ha

 

They would survive in some shape or from like AFC Wimbledon, but I expect they will be playing the likes of Bashley or a league or two lower.

I reckon they could take 10 years before they even get close to League 1 and would be banished as a force forever !

Can't disagree with this. Lets not forget also that these are the fans that found it amusing when Markus Liebherr died, and hoped it would lead to our downfall. Don't feel the littlest bit sorry for them whatsoever, I hope their poxy club dies, and I hope it hurts like hell, with camera shots of fans crying, kids and all sorts. **** em.

I care about my team & my team only, i mentioned to a mate of mine who s a pompey fan about how "the fans dont deserve this" although he maybe right i did point out that their fans were not complaining with the likes of Campbell, James, Defoe were in the squad on 50-60 grand a week, in fact they were loving thinking they were big time

Spot on. I would happily hand some money over if it meant they'd survive (it wouldn't), especially since we will have superiority over them for the forseeable future.
