Am I the only one hoping Birmingham go into administration

[seagullondon]

SO that they lose 10 points and make it easier for us to make it into the playoffs

 

[John Bumlick]

yes, you are.

It feels like CHEATING when you hope another team goes into Admin just so your team can profit from it.

Would you feel the same if it was Pompey in the same position

feeling good about benefiting from others' misfortune/misdeeds after the event is one thing, actually wishing for it to happen to a club is a bit shitty.

As gus says, if they are in the position to go into administration in the first place, they have tried to cheat the system by spending more than they are capable of covering, on the hope of success. A risk not worth taking in my eyes.

Schadenfreude!

I cant understand anyone wanting another team to go I have teams i detest for different reasons
But would never wish to see one of them go

 

[JBizzleBeard]

No.

 

[tubaman]

If they can't pay their way so be it but I wouldn't wish administration on any club for the sake of it.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'm from the Diego Maradona Hand of God school of football - whatever helps your team. I'd have absolutely no issue with Birmingham City being deducted ten points and us benefitting.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

No.

No...as in no I wouldn't like to see this happen.

You could argue they have cheated the system by making the two loan signings just before the deadline for submitting the audited accounts I believe as you are then under an embargo of signing players. Or you could just say they played the system.

Either way I would rather we get into the playoffs under our own merits

 

[Easy 10]

Isn' their situation slightly different in that they WOULD be able to cover their costs, if their owner Carsten Yeung hadn't had his bank accounts and assets frozen after being arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

I could be wrong, but I don't get the impression they have royally taken the piss on a Pompey scale by signing shedloads of players and paying them a kings ransom in wages.

Is the right answer.

I'd align myself to this school of thought, someone benefits from the misfortune of others, why shouldn't it be us.

 

[veade]

Are they not cheating to get in that position in the first place me take it as it comes if it helps all well and good if it don't who cares that's life

 

[middletoenail]

They're in the shit because they are paying £6m transfers fees and £50-60k a week on muppets like Zigic!
