Actually, the PL have done the correct thing here. Pompey cannt bring anyone in until they shift some players off the books - players wont come knowing the risk of not being paid and the club wont bring new faces in if there is a risk they cant pay them. Pompey can now sell players safe in the knowledge they are shifting big earners and then bring in worse players on smaller wages. this way, it delays the Administration until the club are well outside of the PLs remit.
