Shocking unpredictable news - Pompey in administration again

In equally shocking and unexpected news, I have heard from a source of mine (who I can't name, obviously) that the Pope is a Catholic.

Be more than 10 pts this time won't it?
Well you'd hope so.
Clearly the 10pt deduction last time wasn't sufficient incentive for them to get things straight.
I'd hope so, ten points doesn't even put them into relegation (safe on GD by a HUGE margin). If they go into administration but stay up that somehow seems unfair to me.

Sadly, a situation that deserves no sympathy. They even received their parachute payment early from the Prem... where is it? In the seized bank account? Is that what turned them to Administration? To get their grubby hands on it and spunk it on more players and wages? Hope they get relegated. They seriously need to start again.
No, 10 points is the fixed penalty for entering administration.
Clubs who have been given greater deductions did not come out of administration with a CVA (I think). If 75% of the creditors agree the settlement (if there is one), then there is no further deduction.

Apparently in court the HMRC asked for the points deduction to be doubled, although they have no real say.

They were given a 9 points deduction when they were in the Premier League and subsequently relegated , the FL decided not to give them a 10 points deduction for not exiting the CVA on time so wouldn't be surprised if that is now added on to make it a 20 points jobbie.

10 points only unfortunately. They need a BIG lesson, surely the more times you enter administration, the more the punishment.
Can the FA/Football League not bring a harsher penalty for entering administration twice in such a short amount of time? Surely they have some discretionary power?

Not entirely certain but I think Pompey missed the date to exit the CVA.

Id say a 15 point deduction is fair, leaves them on 20 points, at the moment 11 points from safety. BBC Sport say that they may be deducted up to 20 points.
Can the club EVER get out of the shit ? Sounds harsh but the only real choices the club have is to get a new owner (but who will want to buy the club) or be wound-up.

If 8 or more of the 72 FL clubs propose a motion then the FL has to call an EGM to discuss and vote on the proposition.

"It also emerged electricity and gas suppliers have been threatening to cut off power to the club's Fratton Park stadium for non-payment."

I am sure you can count on Coventry, Forest and Docaster to support it !

their last 10 point deduction was in the premier league, this one is in the championship, the point deduction now would be more if both administrations had been in the same league apparently. Shame really....be nice to see them virtually relegated today, shame they cant take the scum from Millwall down with them!!!!

Our thoughts really should be with the small businesses and their families who may lose homes over this. It's not just about football and points. Pompey will once again screw over the lives of many.......

Sadly, we all saw it coming a mile off and some time ago.
What did amaze me was that following their last debacle they saw fit to sign players on 10-20k per week (i.e Lawrence & Kitson) thus showing they'd learnt absolutely nothing from the last time.
I've a bit of sympathy for their lifelong fans; but as a club not a bit.
