Most true pompey fans both accept and want to start again as Portsmouth City FC. Most of them also understand the club has taken the piss and are quite committed to starting again AFC Wimbledon style.
Nothing stopping them.

The true football fan lurking within my soul wants to ensure Portsmouth FC survives an entity in some form or other, either as a result of a genuine fan rich enough and/or able enough to take them forward, or as an 'AFC Portsmouth', with something for the local community to stick by.
However, the fact is, I am sick and tired of this seemingly endless, tedious, shit-laden carcass of a story being regurgitated over and over again, claim and counterclaim going in, people wanting their money, people holding things up, administrators with no teeth, the Football League with no balls; all the while nothing actually happens, and we just go round and round and round like a vomit-encrusted carousel on Southsea Pier.
Will someone please either pull this club up by the bootstraps OR stick a f***ing bullet in the back of its head once and for all just in order that it can stop embarrassing itself, supporters and football in general any more than it needs to?
The most obvious thing would be the fans to form another team, then shove the money into that. PFC is long dead, why would anyone want to purchase their liabilities is beyond me.

I hope the "greatest supporters in the land" realise this is just the start of a long period in the doldrums. Let's see how they react to spending a decade bumbling along in the bottom two divisions in their derelict ramshackle home. Nobs.

Pompey deserve to be playing teams like SELSEY.
Exactly. I want Portsmouth FC to die, to go bust, to be kicked out of the league, and I've wanted this for a couple of years now. But I don't want the Portsmouth fans to be without a club to support and I'll happily chuck a fiver in a bucket, go to a Fans Utd game, indeed anything except wear a half-and-half scarf in order to help get the new Portsmouth FC up and running.Excellent.
Let them get on with it. They could (and should) have started on this by now. They may well even get my (and I'm sure several thousand football fans') support.
If the FL do kick them out, how do they rebalance next year?
Do they promote extra teams from lower leagues?
I don't think PST realise the fact that reforming as a phoenix club at the bottom of the non league pyramid is the only way to survive in the long term.
I believe they've changed the rules and phoenix clubs now can start in conference north/south so as not to overwhelm the smaller grounds.
However, for this to happen Portsmouth FC have to be legally bust first, and so a new club started before the demise of PFC would not count as a phoenix, and would have to start at the very bottom of the pyramid.
Its because they (the Trust) are not willing to give up their emotional bond with Fratton Park (and that there is apparently no suitable alternative venue on the island).
Pompey getting another 10 points deducted for nothing #whydoesnoonelikeus #fuckthefootballleague
