Portsmouth may not finish the season's fixtures according to the administrator.
I believe if Pompey went bust and had to reform they would have to start from the Conference.
millwall being pulled back in is a good thing?
we have to be selfish here
lets hope we can get ourselves out of it though,then we can wish pompey well in league one
As they are now looking at playing staff leaving, is there anyone we could take on a free?
The players aren't even getting paid at Pompey so surely our crap wage budget will suffice!
Basically would pull Milwall back in. Let's hope it doesn't come to this.

Why would you not want it to come to this?
Would never wish another club goes bust. I have friends who support Pompey.
They would not be in League 1 if didn't fulfil their fixtures. They would not exist.
I want us to survive on our own merits.
Unfortunately though, with Pompey already being docked 10 points that has given us aid anyway.
A readers quote from the above link:-
I haven't heard what was said but here's what another listener has posted: " Apparently the next tranch of parachute money (2.2 million) will go STRAIGHT to Gaydamak!! This leaves the club on the precipice with serious doubt as to us completing the season. It is so serious that TB is now talking about thw worse case senario. Without additional funding we could be liquidated. TB is also states that the ongoing issue of no ownership of the land surrounding the ground no training ground and no academy is really unattractive to new owners. Let us all hope the trust can see this out with fan ownership." Obviously if this liquidates te club, it does Gaydamak and Chainrai no good at all so I hope he will forgo tis payment in the hope that he gets all of his money in the long term. On the other hand, Gaydamak could come to te conclusion that this payment is all he is likely to see anyway. Gulp.
Also, doesn't stop Appleton still refusing to play the youngsters: http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/p...eton_pledges_not_to_rush_youngsters_1_3574131. The man beggars belief.
Don't buy that Otis-by keeping players they couldn't afford at the expense of paying their bills they gained an unfair advantage, so the deduction is more of a leveller than a disadvantage. You could also argue that our exceptionally weak finances have aided the rest of the bottom 6.
^^^ you really are an idiot!! :jerkit:
Football League rules state that if a club goes bust before the end of the play-offs (not just regular season), then the results of that club are expunged from the record and one less team is relegated.
i just read this,few journos think this is the adminsitrator playing hardball with people owed money or something
if they go down does that mean its just 2 more relegation spots?what if pompey are in the bottom 2?
Sorry Otis they have had an unfair advantage for years when they had Crouch, Defoe Krankjar and the likes when there was not way they could afford it. All this rubbish about what a great wheeler dealer Harry was. Also looking at the players they have now, it is shocking as well.
Yes, don't get me wrong I accept all that. What I was trying to say was I would be so much happier if we stayed up by our own efforts, so that the Pompey thing wasn't even an issue. I realise they had an advantage by just overspending without thinking about the consequences.
I just want City to survive because they are the 4th or 5th worst team in the league, not the 3rd + Pompey's 10 points.
no
Were you at Highfield road when their fans charged across disabled supporters in wheelchairs to attack us.
I appreciate it is sad and the majority of their fans are not morons, but it now surivial of the fittest now I am afraid. If Porstmouth dissapear and that allows us to stay up then so bit it. If we go down we might end up dissapearing.
If they get disbanded they will return a city that size will always have a football team and it might be what they need a fresh start and building from the bottom.
It might also be what football needs as a whole a proper reality check.
also we need striker and for a club that cant afford things how the hell do they have these lot

yes I was at main road it was 10 fans they were Tossers. Didn't quite clamber over people in wheelchairs. However I do take your point. It was not the majority. It does stick in my mind though and makes me dislike them more than othersI don't think you can take anything from that incident a HR - don't get me wrong, it was disgraceful but it was a handful of fans, a minority. 2 years before that we did exactly the same at Maine Road just because we lost in the last minute.
I'm with Otis as well, I'd rather us be the 4th or 5th worst team in the league, not have to count on Pompey going out of business.
Also, Danny Webber's gone to Leeds I think?
