Agree very much so with you. Except that one more relegation is really required I think for them to have truely had a fair penalty. Wouldn't want them to go out of business.

Pompey would be much better off being liquidated and reforming as a phoenix club. Starting again from the beginning as a community club using the principles of FCUM , AFC Halifax and AFC Wimbledon and fight their way back up the football pyramid.

I have a little sympathy with 'some' of the Portsmouth supporters.
However, their club is to all intents and purposes........bust. Trying to hold on to Football League status at the expense of retaining their crooked owners and crippling debts is futile.
I would guess there is a 'hardcore' of 3-4000 Portsmouth FC supporters. It is upon their shoulders, rests the opportunity to start from the bottom and work their way up the football pyramid system. It is fortunate that they will have so many genuine supporters, compared to other clubs in lower leagues(below the Football League) with sometimes as little as 2-300 supporters.
Sooner.....rather than later, other clubs will go the way of Rangers . Personally, I think it may well bring some sense of reality to the game and bring players wages down, which are nearly always the underlying problems with any club in financial difficulties. Some clubs sadly, will have to be liquidated to bring this about......and preferably a club that has been in the top two divisions to maximise publicity and attention. If this is to be the case.....I,m quite happy for Portsmouth to be one of the sacificial lambs.

Falmer ABOUT 5 years BEFORE we got THERE and in a LOT less DEBT as WE would STILL have the 1983 FA Cup Final CASH as WELL as the money FROM the sale of ZAMORA to QPR instead of TIGHT using it to FUND his villa in TORRELMOLINOS.
SOME of us will NEVER forget WHAT Dick Tight DID to the CLUB

You have to feel a bit sorry for Appleton reading that. Seems like a decent fella.

you must be reading another report.
what sort of manager says of his players "I've left them with my assistant to hold their hands and wipe their noses"......... now we may think of footballers as spoiled brats but the first rule of man management (especially with people who your club owes millions in back wages) is to treat them with some respect at least in public.
Appleton has lost the plot big time

Agreed. And clearly the club needed to leave them behind anyway, to facilitate their moves away.
Another thing that strikes me, is that the trialists listed (Among those triallists are Izale Mcleod, Simon Gillett, Brian Howard, Moustapha Dumbuya, Jon Harley, Simon Eastwood and former Leeds winger Lloyd Sam. ) are a surprising number of familiar names - players who would command decent salaries - certainly at the very top end of League One. At what point will they actually start to cut their cloth properly?

Isn't it time some sort of humanitarian help was given.........and their life support machine was switched off....? Time to club together and buy them a one-way ticket to Dignitas.

For sure - there are some players there who have been attracting quite a bit of interest - McLeod, Dumbuya and Sam in particular are players I have seen linked with bigger clubs than League 1 Portsmouth in recent weeks but they presumably are chasing a higher wage promise than others can afford? Does it come as a surprise? Does it f***! They will go bust again before the end of the season is my prediction.

They are hoping to sign Simon Gillett who is out of contract at Doncaster. Doncaster wanted to keep him but Portsmouth are offering more money!
