Portsmouth FC in administration again

Pompey in administration again
PORTSMOUTH Football Club have been put into administration for the second time in two years.
The move means the club will now be subject to a points deduction from the Football League.
The most likely scenario is a 10 points deduction, which would leave the team above the relegation zone on goal difference alone.
However, it is possible a larger points penalty could be imposed.
The High Court appointed PKF as administrators, overlooking Hacker Young who had previously undertaken the role for Portsmouth.
Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs welcomed that decision.
''HMRC is pleased that the court agreed with our view that the creditors of any business have a right to expect that the administrator in these circumstances is completely independent,'' a statement from HMRC read.
''HMRC felt strongly that the appointment of Hacker Young as administrators to Portsmouth FC, whilst at the same time being administrators for the parent company CSI and its previous roles with the various Portsmouth Football Clubs, would present issues of conflict.
''This is why we suggested the appointment of PKF whose knowledge of the football industry and lack of previous connections to Portsmouth FC should reassure creditors.''
The judge heard that the club had an unpaid tax bill of about £2 million and owed about the same to other creditors.
He said he thought that creditors would get a better deal if the club was placed into administration rather than liquidated.
Lawyers told the hearing that being placed in administration could result in Portsmouth being docked more than 10 points by the Football League - a penalty that could suck the club into a relegation fight.
But outside court accountant Trevor Birch, whose team will manage administration, said he hoped that a new owner could be found and urged fans to ''keep the faith''.
Portsmouth directors said earlier this week that the club had applied to go into administration.
The club's parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives, went into administration in November.
Two years ago, Portsmouth became the first Premier League club to enter administration.

Disregard all creditors (you & I as taxpayers) and carry on as before playing footballers on up to 36k per week.
Hopefully the league will get tough with them as the british justice system seems to have a soft for our fishy neighbours.

It is only a possibility but it "could" mean the FL going easy on them, plus there is the connection with D.Lampitt who was a FL exec. It pains me to say this but the Swampies just may get away with no points deducted, its only a gut feeling but with their track record and luck the preverbial brown stuff usually hits other people rather than them!
when will a decision on point deduction be made by the league??
If there is any justice then they will take a hit both in points and in fines etc, bear in mind that its not just them and Rangers struggling, rumour has it there are a further 10 PL clubs on the brink! If Portsmuff are allowed to get away with it AGAIN then it sets a precedent, anarchy would surely follow!!!
Anyway, just be thankful OUR club is being run as a business and not just as a football club. ML was our saviour off the pitch, NA is doing his bit with the team to make us proud. And NC, like him or loathe him will make **** sure will continue and thrive for years to come! COYR's! FOP!

Maybe they could do what we had to do and play the youth players.
But because they seem to be a special case, i am sure the FL will sort something for them.
They refused a £2m offer from Ipswich last month, this could have saved the club from admin......... I honestly believe that they actually wanted to enter administration.

How come they haven't made an effort in selling their players when they had the chance?...only to cheat again....it's just stinks.
Hopefully, they will die a slow death and be elimated from the League altogether.
They are and have been a total embassment to the name of Football.
And if...they only get hit with 10 points...it'll also be unfair as Leeds and Luton etc had more points deducted.
If I was a Judge...they'd be fishpaste.

How am I a plastic fan? I have a season ticket and manage to attend nearly every home game at Old Trafford. I have to travel from Salisbury - quite a commitment for a plastic fan. If United were to go public and be quoted on the stock arket they would have millions (if not billions) spare.

Listen numbnuts, yes its true we were in a bad way a few years ago, but we didn't CONTINUE to rip people off! Portsmuff had an opportunity to see a player or two last transfer window, it would have been anough to stave off administration. But they refused those offers, and why? So they COULD go into admin a stiff everyone again!

I dare say it has happened before, in order to push a sale through, only those people weren't stupid enough to then sanction paying wages that weren't sustainable on sub 15000 average crowds.
In my opinion, the burden of proof, regarding the ability of CSI/Antonov to buy and successfully fund Poopey, fell on the shoulders of the administrator, as he was the one who saw proof of funding and rubber stamped the deal as being above board.
No "guilt" for Poopey's return to administration should rest on the shoulders of the FL, and as such they should treat Poopey in the same manner as they would any other team that has entered administration and punish them the same.
Should it be more than -10?
In my opinion, yes.
Not because of who they are, but because irrespective of the fact that the last time they went into administration, it was under the PL banner, it is the 2nd time in as many years. The new owner new the history and should have taken appropriate action to avoid a repeat.
Also they deserve a bigger penalty because they have ignored the advice/direction of the FL to observe a wage cap, leading to massive overspending, as well as refusing to acknowledge that they WERE intrinsically linked with CSI and have been lacking suitable funding since CSI stopped bankrolling them.
Finally, a soft penalty will not discourage them or other teams from repeating this process.

I'd guess that most of us would like them to receive an appropriate penalty for going in administration not once but twice in two years, so relegation and minus 27 or whatever that Luton got would be fair I should think?
The reason we've had a bit of spite on here is that when we had a problem a couple of years ago with mother company(not the actual club) and went into administration, the bile they spouted was full on, so it's a bit of payback. That and things like them still singing about sending us down, when actually they rolled over and couldn't win a game against one of the weakest teams in the league on last day of the season..and they sing about losing to WBA (who were shocking that year) with pride? Funny bunch down the coast...what goes around comes around eh...For 40 odd years we were always the bigger club, then over the last 5-6 years they've spent money they never had to be above us, but thankfully rightful order is now restored.

On the plus side, teams like Forest and Ipswich gave Europe a run for their money, Saints finished 3 points behind Liverpool in winning the league and entry to games was cheap. Not anymore.
I agree that money in the game has ruined it for the working man, and we’ll probably never see the smaller clubs winning the premiership.
Nothing stands still and changes will always happen.

I'm glad I support a decent team like Man United - even I don't hate Liverpool the way you hate Pompey. For all the morons hoping that Pompey go out of business just think that tomorrow that could be you. You were there before and could be again. None of you are football fans, just small minded yokels.
I'd guess that most of us would like them to receive an appropriate penalty for going in administration not once but twice in two years, so relegation and minus 27 or whatever that Luton got would be fair I should think?
The reason we've had a bit of spite on here is that when we had a problem a couple of years ago with mother company(not the actual club) and went into administration, the bile they spouted was full on, so it's a bit of payback. That and things like them still singing about sending us down, when actually they rolled over and couldn't win a game against one of the weakest teams in the league on last day of the season..and they sing about losing to WBA (who were shocking that year) with pride? Funny bunch down the coast...what goes around comes around eh...For 40 odd years we were always the bigger club, then over the last 5-6 years they've spent money they never had to be above us, but thankfully rightful order is now restored.
Its so embarrassing its painful to watch.
How can any pompey fan now declare their loyalty for a club that constantly abuses that loyalty ?
What would I want in the same position? start again in the tyro if I had to,but with come back with some degree of dignity.
Oh and 10 points auto is nowhere near enough.

How am I a plastic fan? I have a season ticket and manage to attend nearly every home game at Old Trafford. I have to travel from Salisbury - quite a commitment for a plastic fan. If United were to go public and be quoted on the stock arket they would have millions (if not billions) spare.

Randre - Hit the nail on the head, they cheated their way to a cup, cheated their way in the Premier League and are currently cheating their way to Championship safety. They were happy to give it large when things were going well so can have no complaints with a hefty points deduction and forced player sales (not that it will happen of course).

BracknellSaint wrote:Absolutely... If you look at their squad now they have players who are reported (and most certainly would be) on excess of 20k per week. They had a chance to sell players in January but they did not sell. The club accepted offers but apparently the players didn't want to go! This has surely got to be down to the money they are paid, other clubs can't afford to compete. Most clubs in the Championship run their club with a responsible wage structure.

I'm glad I support a decent team like Man United - even I don't hate Liverpool the way you hate Pompey. For all the morons hoping that Pompey go out of business just think that tomorrow that could be you. You were there before and could be again. None of you are football fans, just small minded yokels.
For your information, it has been us in the not very distant past. We took the penalty, found a new owner, paid our debts & are now run on a sound, sustainable basis & about to get promoted back to the Premier League where I will very much enjoy defeating Manure & silencing the gobby plastic Mancs that invade SMS.
So, fellow "moron", I am a football fan, but not small minded or a yokel.
Next time you want to comment on a Southampton newspaper website about Southampton be prepared for the retaliatory comments or don't bother commenting. Or, even better move back "oop north" you northern monkey.

On the BBC today they say that Pompey might not be able to play as they can't find away to get to the ground as they have no money to pay for the coach?
Why don't you Saints supporters chip in enough to get them there & not enough to get back?
It would show Football solidarity wouldn't it?

If you don't like it, just scroll past it to something that takes your fancy (maybe a write-up on your favourite wine bar?)
Don't waste your time & everyone elses by reading or posting on something that holds no interest for you?
It's rather strange that you regularly post on subjects & articles that you are not interested in - just ignore them!

Adrian Durham on Talksport is now talking about this. He is saying that Portsmouth should be thrown out of the league for going into admin twice, regardless that the last time they were in the Premiership! He is also saying "Portsmouth have CHEATED their way to every point this season". I for one agree completely.

Tough game against a good Barnsley side at home and the team going up by coach??
Coventry and Nott'm Forest will now have the renewed confidence to enable them to focus on and overhaul the skates and escape the drop.
We will smash the fishy freaks at SMS to send them deeper in the relegation zone.
The icing on the cake would be for us to have already gained promotion and the skates needing us to beat Coventry on the last day to keep them up. We could roll over and let Coventry win.....and have a right old knees up with the Coventry fans and celebrate a hat trick of memorable events.
We get promoted, Coventry stay up and the deluded fish f@ckers get relegated to League 1.....if Carlsberg made last day results in the Championship.....

Why do Poopey attract such low life owners ?
The people of the city of Portsmouth do not deserve such slurs on their character, I know several of their fans and they are upset about the situation too !
Will the Football league investigate a bit more thoroughly this time and discover the true intentions of Andonikou?
By the way this is not just a recent situation, they have had financial problems for more than 45 years, ask the Deacon family who once owned them and took them close to bankruptcy then !
Ian St John was the manager who took them to the 4th Division.John Oldfield wrote the tune "portsmouth" to raise money for the club.
They have been an embarrasment to the county of Hampshire for a very long time, and now it is time to put an end to them.
I do not think a fit + proper person will be interested in investing his money on the shambles that is PFC.
