Portsmouth heading for administration
4:44pm Monday 13th February 2012 in News
Fratton Park
Portsmouth are facing a 10-point deduction after the club's advisors confirmed they are seeking to go into administration.
It will be the second time in as many years that the club has gone into administration. Pompey face a winding-up hearing next week over an unpaid tax bill and have not been able to pay their players and staff for January.
Peter Kubik, of the club's financial advisors UHY Hacker Young, told Press Association Sport: ''They are in the process of seeking an administration order - an application to court seeking administration is due to go in any day.
''The club's bank accounts have been frozen due to the winding up hearing and they are finding it very difficult to trade. Once the administration order is in place the bank accounts will be made accessible again.
''We are aware that administration carries an automatic 10-point deduction by the Football League.''
Pompey were plunged into another financial crisis after their parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives (CSI), went into administration in November. UHY Hacker Young are the administrators for CSI.
The tax bill is for between £1.2million and £900,000 but Kubik said there were many other outstanding bills to pay. Among these, the club needs to pay their electricity supplier in order to avoid being cut off.
''There are lots of bills they need to pay,'' added Kubik.
In February 2010 Portsmouth became the first Premier League club to enter administration and were deducted nine points, condemning them to relegation.
A 10-point deduction from the Football League would put Pompey on 25 points, outside the relegation places on goal difference alone.

Surely a second time in administration carries a penalty of 15 points at least. If the FA only deduct 10 pints then if I am right this would be a clear case of discrimination as other clubs falling into administration had more than 10 points deducted.

=8135 and the standout paragraph is such...
"After Leicester City went into Administration the Football League started to punish clubs by giving them a nine point penalty to preserve the integrity of the league and as a disincentive to resort to Administration.
It is now looking at ways of preventing football clubs from racking up huge tax debts in the first place through tighter regulation. From March 2010 all clubs will have to provide the league with financial forecasts, showing that they have a sustainable plan to take the club forward. If they are deemed not to, the League will then have the power to step in . The league believes that if they had been in place last season they would have helped arrest the decline of Portsmouth."
On this basis, it's the football leagues fault for not ensuring that the club were run properly, yet if you look over the following:

tration_2293334_1353

,especially Mawlwingy's statement on Bournemouth, regarding the integrity of the game, the least Pompey could get is a massive fine / points deduction for bringing the game into disrepute.
It's time to draw a line under this sham, either the law should step in, the league should throw them from the league or as put in the first link " all clubs will have to provide the League with financial forecasts, showing that they have a sustainable plan to take the club forward. If they don't the League has the power to step in."
The league should step in and turn the lights off, not for the amusement of Saints fans (although it is) but for the integrity of the league itself and the national game. Disgrace....

Conversely, winding them up will stop them from causing further harm to local businesses and robbing us, the tax payer, of revenue that is rightfully ours.
Don't care about the players and it seems most the fans want to start a new club so let them do it.

So, basically, there is NO punishment for entering administration, only the benefit of wiping out debts (again) and carrying on as before.
They are playing a very clever game.

At the end of the day the rivalry between us and them is written in folklore and is well known thoughout the football world and it does provide serious entertainment usually at their expense so long may at continue, maybe the season after next when they have had one season in hell that is Div 1.

sorry but its just not good enough,the FL missed an opportunity to make this rabble an example of how not to run a football club and they bottled it last time.
The opt out of admin is in this case a cynical move yet again to write off built up debts-it stinks.
Their best bet is to close down and start again in the lower leagues,the cowards better not fold completely,I,ll never forgive them,what about us ? who would be our rivals ? very very sell fish. Anyone want to buy a bell ?

BUT IS IT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE BEEN IN ADMINISTRATION WHILST BEING IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE?
Have they not been in administration before, whilst in the FL?
Did Mandaric buy them out of administration?
And didn't they go into administration prior to that as well?
Any historians out there that can shed any light on their previous cash shortages, showing that they, as a club, have a tradition of going into administration?
Clearly the "are the PL and FL linked" argument, reference penalties for financial offences needs to be reviewed, otherwise you will get other teams following suit.
As I understand it Blackburn Rovers are struggling financially.
So what's to stop them from going into administration, sucking up their -9 penalty and being relegated, then retaining all their high paid players for next season and gambling on going straight back up?
Taking the risk that if they don't go up, but go bust again, they will only get a -10 point penalty, the next time, something that would not even get them relegated as they would still have a core of players that played at a higher level?
To be honest, that would be worth the gamble for any club owner that lacks scruples, and who knows how many there are who would take that route, once a soft penalty precedent is set?

Is it only financial rules that separate the 2 organisations or are there other areas where they differ?.
For example, discipline?
By that I mean, when a player moves between teams in the PL and FL, does his disciplinary record follow him or does he start at his new club, under the leadership of a different organisation, with his record wiped clean?
For example, had Rickie Lambert been sold to a PL club after being sent off at Brighton, would his 3 match ban have stood or been expunged, as he was now playing under the leadership of a different organisation?
If it stands then it proves that both organisations are linked by virtue of applying disciplinary rules across the different divisions, with regards to individuals.
In my book this sets a precedent that indicates that offences under one organisation carry the same weight and penalty when under the other organisation.
Ergo, PFC's latest administration should be considered a 2nd offence in 2 years and penalised as such.

The tax bill for Pompey is for between £1.2million and £900,000.
Southampton owed more than £5.5m in council tax and business rates. Just to be even handed I quote both.
How come all these taxes are not being collected by HMRC before they get so large?
Please don't tell me Pompey will be let off paying this. Do I understand this is the second time they have defaulted on Tax - first in Feb 2010? Or is this the total of all tax owed? Gosh no wonder the country is in such a mess. I think they should pay their debts before they are allowed to regroup and play again at all.
Sorry Saints fans as I said I know you will miss your sparring partner awfully, but I struggle to pay my few hundred tax bill and the taxman don't let me off the hook. Actually maybe I spelled Pompey wrong and it should be Pompei.

Just heard another footie club Rangers going to admin cos they owe £75m to HMRC.
'the tribunal decided in favour of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), it "could result in liabilities and penalties substantially more than the £50m reported which the club would be unable to pay".
He was later reported as saying this could reach up to £75m.'
Never mind the pensioners are a soft touch HMRC

Saints had to take the 10points - in the next season- meaning we were relegated and starting in DIV1 at the bottom. Portsmouth it appears are SUCH an embarassment that they really fear the club could actually CLOSE completely(!) and thus may be lenient! Either way its a joke- Apparently they haven't even paid the electricity bill for tonights game against IPSWICH- JOKE!! F/league should be ashamed if dont do right thing! -15 points min!

People keep talking about an automatic -10 point deduction if you fall into administration- (or "file for administration") However if Portsmouth only get -10 points deducted they will be the luckiest bunch of crooks ever. The FA/football league have historically awarded at least -15 points for a 2nd drop into administration.

It would be wrong if Bournemouth, Plymouth , Luton, Rotherham, Leeds Utd, and others got a harsh penalty and Portsmouth didn't. The precedents are set. What they chooose to do in next couple of days will show whether they are serious about sorting out clubs like Portsmouth -who are not fit nor proper!
.
The likes of Bournemouth, Luton, Leeds etc had additional serious irregularities which is why they were deducted more points.

Thats not to say that Pompeyy wont get additional points deductions at a later date when all of their cr@p is sorted out.

Don't know if that is true, but if it is HMRC would be able to reclaim the FULL amount PFC didn't pay last time, which was a ridiculous amount (70m??).
Ok PFC wouldn't be able to pay it, but they wouldn't get a buyer either.

How will they get to Barnsley? More credit when the bank accounts are unfrozen tommorow when they get put back into administration? I noticed that the Football league are voicing that they were "conned" by the previous Criminal owner.... Is this a prelude to let them off with just 10 points or paving the way to aa more rightful -15 points or worse? They have been silent until today - so its one or another. But two Key Pompey players crocked against Ipswich - will they still exist to play the Saints Next month I wonder....wil they drift on as they did before to the lifeline of close season.....
No money for a scan for their injured captain.
The locks have been changed by the company that stores their equipment at their training ground.
Also they have to get the bus to barnsley as they cant afford to fly.
But hey..... they've still got the best fans in the world hehehe
