For the record, should a miracle happen and Portsmouth be laid to rest then the Championship table will change, we'll slip a place to 8th but get a game in hand. Cardiff and Palace are big losers and Leicester are mightily improved GD wise:

2 Norwich 10 19
==================================
3 Watford 10 18
4 Cardiff 9 17
5 Ipswich 9 17
6 Burnley 10 16
--------------------------------------------------
7 Swansea 10 16
8 Reading 9 15
9 Leeds United 10 14
10 Nott'm Forest 10 13
11 Millwall 10 13
12 Doncaster 10 13
13 Derby 10 12
14 Coventry 9 12

And what a shame it'd be if the did fold. NOT.
Should have disappeared earlier this year, but the judge bottled it.

[Jackson Corner]

Lets hope for the sake of football they are wound up closed down, the ground flatened for gypsy caravans to reside in a permanent home. Fratten caravan park has a nice ring to it.

Gypos occupy it every home game anyway.

[exileinleeds]

Oh dear. How sad.

I must be a very bad person, because this tragic news has made my day.

[Ark Royal]

Sad for the fans, but part of me thinks that only by seeing a high(ish)-profile club folding will the rest of the football world will do something about the dire financial straits that clubs are allowed to get into.

Always hear that club's are about to fold nowadays but it never happens.

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

Always hear that club's are about to fold nowadays but it never happens.

It happens a fair bit in non-league football, even to ex-League clubs such as Halifax, Chester, Newport etc, but League clubs to somehow seem to linger on. Accrington and Aldershot are obvious exceptions, but Maidstone folded too, and people seem to forget they were ever in the league.

Not a chance in hell Pompey will fold. Absolutely no way 0%

Hi Carlin

Been an age, welcome back, etc heh

(S)he is right though - there is no chance in hell Pompey will fold

Soundbites and bullshit from the media

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Yeah has the ring of the unreaLOListic, although I suppose there's a first time for everything, but nah not this time I don't reckon

Yet another LOL @ that thread though --never goes stale!

[Nick Shorey my Lord!]

We have had to push out the boat for Kitson and Lawrence. Their wages are £19,000 and £20,000 but it was something we are comfortable with. Gone are the days when extraordinary pay packets put the club in financial trouble.

We cannot trade into next month. By the end of this month we will not have sufficient funds to pay wages. We have no cash flow, and as administrators we cannot continue to trade with thin air.

What a clown.

Quoted for emphasis. What a load of crap.

Destitute Pompey set to sign Premier league Greg Halford on loan from Wolves according to today's paper.

and in other Pompey news, Big Dave has been shouting his mouth off again...

"this place seems extra special. It's an old stadium, in the town, community-orientated. Not a soulless bowl of plastic seats" "there's a perception clubs are invincible. That will change if one folds"

and here's an old chestnut..."I once worked in a supermarket (really Dave you never mention it?) So every day for me playing football is a blessing"

So much for cutting your cloth accordingly! Makes you wonder why SJM bothers. Pompey have a squad of Prem players quite capable of going up this season all on 20k plus a week.

[ankeny]

Looks like they are finally going under,good or bad?

[Alan Partridge]

Cheerio.

Congratulations Redknapp. Pass the buck as much as you like you saggy faced crooked old pcunt.

[PEARCEY]

If they go under its bad. I've got no love for them but its always sad when a club dies. They will come back in a new guise and have to work through the non-league divisions before re-entering the Football League. It will be a hard slog though. Some good might come out of it because its time football clubs ran their businesses more sensibly. Its also time footballers wages were capped.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

GTFI!!!

Shame Harry isn't going to go down with them - how is his court case going?
