Will Pompey fold? (merged threads)

[Papa Lazarou]

Quite optimistic of them, to even bother printing June to December.

they should have left a blank space for fans to stick a newpaper photo of their favourite new player each month.

Do they only have 5 weeks left before the administrators put the club into liquidation for failing to exit administration in the 12 month time frame ?

Who's decision to put a loan player for this season in for DECEMBER of 2013

 

[The Birdman]

I hope they don't fold however the fans who are based in West Sussex are welcome to see the light and join us at the Amex

They've released another six players today. Also, I've just observed with some amusement, that there is a possibility that they may not receive the ten point deduction for failing to exit administration this season. Which sounds a bit annoying (how can you drag out an entire season without anything changing) but then again, there is a pretty decent chance that they will get relegated this season anyway, without even having points taken off, and it seems quite fair to let them achieve this through their own on-field incompetence, rather than on a technicality.

Which then brings about the added bonus that they could then start the following season, in League Two, minus ten points, and well on the way to achieving non-league status within four years of being in the Premier League. Splendid

I always get a TINGE of excitement when I see this thread getting bumped, it's always amusing to see the continuing downfall of Carcrash FC.

The Court Case about the ownership of Fratton Park which should have been heard today has been postponed (again) to January 31st. This means that there would be just over two weeks before they have to come out of Administration or be Wound Up. That is unless they can make a case for the Administration to be extended.

Oh, as usual, there is no chance of them being wound up, it's just another hurdle on the road to writing all their debts off as usual.

Still. We do have the very decent hope of relegation for them, with or without any points being deducted.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Ooops. Double post.

This is an interesting bit in the BBC report "If a judge agrees to force the sale of the ground then an independent valuation will be made."

BBC Sport - Portsmouths High Court hearing adjourned a second time

So if it's valued at say £5.5m ( roughly in the middle of both parties valuations ) can PST afford to take over ?

Just lost another 6 players leaving them with a squad of 13, when will they realise the game is up ?

Seems the 6 released were all those on any kind of decent wage, Williamson, Howard etc

I think it's time to put them out of their misery and allow a pheonix club to take their place (Geographically, not in the League).

It really is time, this slow lingering death does nobody any favours

BetVictor go 1/250 for them to be relegated but only 1/5 on Betfair

don't get me wrong - I do take pleasure in watching, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be bad for you

Am i the only one who is not enjoying this? feel sorry for the fans.

Though on the up side, for those of us who've endured years of their success, or at the very least the Albion's games being relegated to a mere afterthought on the regional news programmes while the decision to switch to a new brand of oven cleaner at Fratton Park warranted a five minute article on a Monday evening, the chance to watch their slow, lingering slide towards on-pitch obscurity is something of a large bonus.

I wonder what the squad list in their programmes looks like now ? That would be worth a glance

Nope, sorry just can't do it.
