If Pompey wind up

[fletchinho]

I have just read that we'll be docked 6 points along with Arsenal, Chelsea 3 and liverpool none. We'll have a game in hand though, because liverpool and Chelsea won't play against portsmouth.

On a side note, I hope they don't take away Rooney's goals. He scored 4 against portsmouth

wind up being the key words here

[fletchinho]

Unfortunately, it seems likely. The court decision will be out this wednesday.

[haggler]

you dont really believe that though do you ? notw loves a grand statement that might have some basis in fact

it was the lead story in goals in yesterdays sun as well ---good old sunday paper rewarming its dailys story

the taxman wont wind up a prem club -the government wouldnt allow it ---that said there are a lot of scummy chelsea fans in labour so maybe they would !!!!

[fletchinho]

It is not just NOTW, most of the press is reporting that it is likely.

[haggler]

fergie would go into meltdown and fund the tax bill himself ---whats another couple of million on our debt ???

funny how pompey could be wound up over a couple of mill when we owe 700 mill plus --- crazy business football .

maybe the tatoo covered twat with the bell will bail them out ????

[Keano!]

It won't happen....if it did the FA wouldn't be able to leave their office without being battered by angry fans.

Media trying to stir something up as usual.

That really is a load of bollocks. If Pompey go out of business and can't play any more football for the rest of the season really the only way to make the League fair would be to wipe all the results clean. It's totally unfair to dock points from teams who have already played Pompey, because who knows if the teams who aren't losing points (who haven't played against Pompey twice) might have dropped points in those games anyway?

Since I don't see other teams allowing all the results to be wiped clean, I doubt whether Pompey will actually go out of business.

[southcoastred]

As was already mentioned, if Pompey do go out of business, then all their results would be wiped off for this season. Apparently there are several potential buyers for Pompey, but can't imagine why anyone would want to buy!!

[United soul]

when is the final decision???

[alfa27]

would it not be fairer to call the furture fixtures as void and a 3-0 win to the teams to play them?

[HANDYMAN]

would it not be fairer to call the furture fixtures as void and a 3-0 win to the teams to play them?

no, that wouldn't be fair at all on any team that they beat or have drawn against already.

doubt they'll get wound up, not before the end of the season anyway

[hdcantona]

what? how would that happen?

[alfa27]

well i cant see a fair way out of it so,

take points of the teams that have played them and it aint fair on them.

is there not a rule if u cant field a team u forfit 3-0?

at the end of the season the powers that be may look in pompeys problems cos will they be able to forfill a season in the championship on less tv and gate money?

i doubt it.

[Waters2010]

that would be totally unfair to take away the points which have been won etc

but other teams that have yet to play them again would have a game in hand otherwise!

its all a mess

[Pinky]

There's no way the FA would allow this to happen. Think of the disruption it would cause to the season, they'd be a complete mockery.
