ciderup Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I do So do I Aizoon, was 15 at the time. The teacher at my old school (St Brendans) was a City fan and let us wear scarves to school on the supposed 'last day'. Awful times. Just because we did something 30+ years ago, it doesn't make what has happened to Pompey right IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Didn't Luton get the points deduction added onto them in their next season (the first in the Conference)? If so, why have Pompey been allowed to take the deduction this season - an utterly meaningless gesture - instead of next. Unless, I'm misremembering things, this sounds like yet more inconsistency from the FA. Correct R.R. And from memory, Luton had not abused the system as much as Pompey. I am guessing that the F.L. do not include Pompey's misdemeanours in the P.L. (different body etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The sale of the club hasn't gone through yet Google it and I think you will find it has.. every paper and web site carries the same story.. signed and sealed. Who physically owns the assets, i.e. the ground, is another matter as the articles I have read seem to miss that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 With Luton ( if my memory is correct, doubtful) they came out of admin the wrong way , whatever that means. I remember going to Newport thinking it was our last game, 1-1 Mick Harford header I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towngas Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Appreciate the point but it still doesn't make it right towng*s. Bear in mind, alot of our support weren't born in '82 let alone attending games so won't remember those dark days. I agree. The point here surely is that procedures must be put in place to prevent this happening. Hopefully the FPP will achieve this, until all the clever financial people find a way around it!. No other type of business would survive it were run like a football club, it's incredible really. I went to the Rovers game today and it was truly awful, absolutely dreadful. I'm afraid you're all in for a bit of a shock next season. I have attended the occasional City match this season and whilst you haven't got the results I always came away thinking I've seen a decent game with good skills.

wayne allisons tongues Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thought there were rules in place, to stop clubs after being relegated taking the deduction before the next season. Is it a case of Portsmouth once again get special treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Theirs absolutely no sense in deducting the points this season. No punishment at all. Yet again they've got away with it and the fa have bent over to help them because their so say a big club! Disgracefull. Just watch them chuck the money about next season!

Rob k Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Pot calling kettle here. Just remind me what happened in 1982, not only to many small businesses but 8 players as well?. Put that stone down, there's a good chap. What business's went out of business because of BCFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semblar Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I wonder if the decision would have been different if it wasn't the fan trust buying the club? Also the rules written about carrying over to the next season I believe are applicable to when the club go IN to admin - if you read them as a judge would, I think there would be a strong legal case for those rules not to apply here, so carrying them over would have been open to a legal challenge. They are in League two with a set of constraints on playing budgets, borrowing and loan repayments that are in effect for five years. Personally that is enough for me and I would rather have these constraints there, than give them a deduction which might force them out of the league altogether...I was young but I remember 1982 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Ff is full of loop holes. Tbh we seem to be the only club taking a blind bit of notice of it! With their past history I wouldn't expect pompey to start obeying the rules. What's the punishment for breachingy ff? A transferr embargo that's irrelevant if you've already signed the players. Or a fine which I'm sure a club with pompeys experience of getting away with it could find a way to avoid paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
