I think the offer has been made because there is a possibility the high court judge could rule against the administrator's appeal to make Portpin sell Fratton Park to PST.

Don't forget they still have their 11 point deduction to come off as well
Wasn't there some Pompey fans giving it large before the season started that even with -10 points they would still walk that division?

The latest deadline seems to benefit the FL , if the court hearing is delayed and Pompey doesn't come out of administration in time the fixtures will still be completed. Portpin get a bigger payout from the Harris consortium bid , have Portpin threatened legal action against the FL on this basis ?

Just saw this on today's Fiver, from the letters section.
Brings home the reality of how quickly they've gone from boom to bust, but it made me chuckle...
"Imagine a Portsmouth fan waking up from a coma and asking about the current football results and you told him Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari both scored in a 2-0 win against Barcelona in the last 16 knock-out stage of Big Cup. 'Portsmouth are in [Big Cup]?!' asks the Pompey fan. 'No, they're about to be relegated to League Two, assuming they avoid going out of business altogether,' you respond. Good bedside manners or just cruel?" – Chris Harrison.

SAKE. When are they just going to f***ing die? The FL said if they start next season in admin they'll lose their membership to the league, so surely this is them resigning themselves to that?

That would be excellent. They are down this year anyway, so the points deduction is a meaningless penalty. Let them pay it properly next year when it counts.

Interesting article . Looks as if it is down to the fans putting their hands in their pockets and or emptying their bank accounts now .

When you delve into the latest financial figures produced by the Administrator it does make you wonder how there going to get out of this.
They owe £2m+ to the administrator, £1.5m to a law firm advising them, apparently £11m+ to former players and other football creditors that has to be paid when the Trust takes over, £3m+ to Chanrai, (if they can persuade the court, he wants triple that). Their wealthy supporters have bankrolled them for the last 6 months to the tune of hundred of thousands of pounds and there still losing money hand over fist! Even with the Administrator cutting like mad they have lost a further £0.5m in the last 4 months! The last parachute payment is due later in the year for about £7m and they might have about £2m due from fans who have bought £1000 shares, (if they all cough up). On top of that the Local Council have offered them a loan of about £1.5m, (more debt to start with).
So basically they owe about £17.5m+ and probably might have £10.5m if there lucky. The Trust has also based its business plan on Pompey being in the Championship or at least League One next season rather than League Two if they even get that far. As there losing money now each week, and with a lot of income drying up soon at the end of the season how on earth can they possibly get the books to balance. The Football League have said that nobody but the Trust can takeover so that rules out any white night appearing with oodles of cash. My god what a complete mess.
There only hope I reckon is liquidation and start again in the lower leagues. At least they would be debt free and still have a club.
