Pompey would have known the possible consequences when they were buying those players.

Would Pompey have won the FA Cup if they had of only bought players they could afford?

Would Pompey still be in the Prem if they had of only bought players they could afford?

The money they have spent, which they didn't have, has bought them far more than the 9pts they are being deducted.

They are lucky they weren't wound up by HMRC. A points reduction is a league readjustment for a club trying to buy points beyond their means and ending up in administration because of it. It's there as a serious warning to other clubs not to do the same.

Spot on PLY. They know the rules and the teams who went down from the EPL last season are still up and running.
Feel really sorry for the fans.

well its better this than them going down under and handing liverpool another 3 points back in the top 4 hunt

the fans dont deserve the sh1te thats went on at the club over the past 18 months and this is just another of a long line of kicks in the cobblers for them

also, how is this helping the creditors, with almost certain relegation to the championship now they will lose TV and gate money, main suppliers of money into the club, at least with no 9 point deduction they still had a slim chance of survival

Lets say Pompey didn't buy players they couldn't afford last season. Spending money on players and wages that they didn't have to spend. Lets say those players won them 9 points last season. This is how the bottom of the table would have finished:
14 Blackburn Rovers 41
15 Sunderland 36
16 Hull City 35
17 Newcastle United 34
18 Portsmouth 32
19 Middlesbrough 32
20 West Bromwich Albion 32

Newcastle would be in the EPL this season. We go on about poor old Pompey, but what about poor old Newcastle? They've lost millions, tv rights etc etc

But Newcastle didn't spend millions, risking administration. They went down last season and Pompey finished 14th.

Something needs to be done to stop directors/chairmen/owners spending millions and putting a club into administration over a few points.

If Pompey hadn't of bought those players and had gone down last season, they probably wouldn't be in this position now.

The greed of points = money got them in this position.

I feel sorry for the fans, they have no say over what happens!

Well this should be an important lessons on clubs spending well above there means as this will always happen in the end unless a very rich owner bails them out and takes a massive loss.

Its a shame to see but it was inevitable.

Feel a little gutted for Pomey seeing as I have a few mate's that support them. Also I think it's 99% certain to say the they are down now.

What annoys me more than anything else is how a club like Manchester United, who were already hundreds of millions of pounds in debt, were able to buy Dimitar Berbatov from us for £30.75 million.
