rhroyal Here's my take on Pompey. They bought the players that took them to the F.A. Cup Final with money they didn't have. That led to the Fulham game. Could we have stayed up if they had lived within their means? They could have been in 18th for all we know. There would certainly been one less good team in the Premiership when we finished 18th.
Then this season they pinched Tommy Smith from under our noses with money they didn't have. He was integral for Rodgers' plans. We could well be sat comfortably in mid-table were it not for their over spending this season. I wonder how Rodgers feels, their overspending could have effectively ended his career (although it takes a poor manager not to have an effective plan B).
There's no knowing where our club could be had Pompey not spent beyond their means. And we're not the only losers. So much sympathy goes out to clubs in these circumstances. Well they're getting what they deserve, let them rot.

Not only that, they also nicked Glen Little, Linvoy Primus and Jamie Ashdown off us.

exileinleeds The administrator is giving interviews now. He has said in not quite so many words, that he has asked the PL not to deduct points....and he has "been given an indication" about the transfer window being open for them.
Guarantee the club will survive till the end of the season.

buzzby I'll post it in this thread now!!
Do they really think that even if they reduced from 9 points to say maybe 7 points it will make any difference.

seahawk10 Questions from the token Yank:
1 - Why didn't they sell their players in January when it was obvious they would be relegated?
2 - I keep seeing people posting that playing Pompey in the FA Cup would be like getting a bye. Now that they are in admin, does that mean they can no longer play in the tournament?
3 - If they allow them a special waiver to sell players now, would Tommy Smith be someone we would still want given our recent resurgence?
