Portsmouth Football Club docked nine points by the Premier League

PORTSMOUTH FC have been officially docked nine points by the Premier League.
League bosses met this morning and have now confirmed that the Fratton Park club have been immediately deducted the points as a penalty for going into administration.
That leaves the club - which was already bottom of the Premier League beforehand - with just 10 points.
That means the club is a colossal 17 points off safety, having won just five league games all season.
As a result, they are all but relegated to the Championship.
They have been docked nine points rather than the 10 Saints were docked with as there are less games in a Premier League season than there are in the Football League.
The Premier League's full statement reads: "Following the High Court's decision that Portsmouth FC's administration is valid the Premier League Board convened today to apply the League's rules and policies in relation to a member club suffering an event of insolvency.
"As a result Portsmouth FC has been deducted nine points with immediate effect.
"As part of this process the Board met with the Administrator to agree how we will work together for the remainder of the season to ensure that the club is able fulfil its commitments."

They got deducted this year, because they went into admin before March the 24th. We didnt, that was why, if we stayed up they would have been taken, as we went down, they got put on the next seasons. It is a rule to stop people doing what Leeds did, knew they were already down with two games to go and went into admin, so they had points taken off that season and not the next, obviously it backfired on them and the league choose to make an example out of them.

I don't think the two organisations have much to do with each other, so I'd be surprised if someone getting into trouble in the Premiership would result in punishment from the Football League.
I would of thought they would of left it till next season and they started on -9 points in the Championship. There is no point in punishing them even more when they are going to get relegated anyway.

I said we were going down this year from the word go - in many respects looking forward to going into that division. Assuming we get a buyer of course, which I believe we will.

At least you have memories of your time at Landfill FC. Noone can take those away.........not that they'd want to.

If our neighbours are still skint when they land in Fizzy Pop land then hopefully they will be deducted further points like we had, then it really will get entertaining! Just wish they'd stop this incessant whining just like a spoilt child, perhaps someone will point them to the naughty step! lmfao!
Anyway, couldn't happen to a nicer bunch, I know some will bang on about turning the other cheek, blah, blah , blah, but lets remember what the Plastic Cockney's were doing when we were going through the wringer! Need I say more? :oD

Looks to me as though "Binman" is having an "identity" crisis! Must be punchdrunk from watching his beloved Skates getting well overdue punishment, defrauding every man and his dog is against the law my web-toed friend. Just wish you'd all stop whining about it and except you were cheating the PL and living beyond your means!...... :oD
