Ok, own up....who on here is Helio?

If Allen was to buy a used car would he rely solely on the vehicle's MoT certificate to tell him it was a safe purchase or would he get an independent report done on it to make sure it was OK? MoT Certificate = the Football Authorities' FAPP test Independent report = the clubs own due dilligence They. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Portsmouth journalist in blaming the Football League for letting Pompey's previous dubious owners through the net shocker.... @pn_neil_allen: My take on the Football League sanctions applied to #Pompey. http://t.co/9SZ7H81e FFS Allen....you being an investigatative journalist and all that, how much were you protesting about the club's potential new owners BEFORE they took over? Or were you in head-in-sand mode like the rest of teh Pompey fan base?

FFS Birch! The football authorities have always had two distinct penalty triggering points....let me explain them to you very very very very very slowly.... Trigger point 1: Going into administration Trigger point 2: Not coming out of administration properley Pompey went into administration in 2009: Points penalty = -9 (applied in the Premier League) Pompey came out of administration in 2010 with a CVA that proved to be worthless, ergo in retrospect they didn't come out of administration properley. Points penalty = -10 (applied retrospectively next season in League 1) Pompey went back into administration in 2011. Points penalty = -10 (applied last season in The Championship) I repeat, they HAVE NOT been penalised for the same misdemeanor twice. Read the rules Mr Birch. Read the ****ing rules. And that goes for the majority of journalists who don't seem to have a clue either.

Glenn Hoddle rumours doing the rounds...

Pompey players take up their positions as the club announces they are to be shafted...

Here's hoping they ask him a question along the lines of: "Trevor, being a football man, are you pleased that the Football League have decided to uphold the integrity of the game and the spirit of their rules that every other team bar Pompey has decided to abide by, whilst at the same time denouncing the poultry 1p in the £ that oldco charities, local businesses and tax payers would end up receiving (if they're lucky) under Chainrai's shabby and derisory CVA offer?" No, I thought not....

Indeed. And this is the principle we highlighted all along. The fact that failing to honour a CVA is no different an outcome to not having agreed one in the first place. Does anyone recall the statutory points penalty for failing to exit administration with a CVA? If the answer is "more than -10 points" then they have got off lightly...

a. Spain ....but they'll be detained indefinitely by the Spanish Customs and Excise for failing to pay disembarkation tax

He's a West Ham fan....what did you expect...? :-)

@ClaretNBlues: These people laughing at Portsmouth should be ashamed. Rivalry or not, their fans don't deserve this at all! They're decent people! #pompey

Hope no one tries to rig this poll

Alan Knight just on TalkSport. He gets it.... Said the cup runs and flirting with the top half of the premier league weren't worth the over spending gamble and thought that it could be considered fortunate that they only got -10 points this time around....

Now that's amusing. Good find :-)

He is going at them hammer and tongs. Highly amusing :-)

Yep, just seen that. Fair play.

The Football League have today 'offered' Pompey a place in the Football League, subject to the conditions being met. So, to answer the previous question someone asked, no, they haven't been given the 'golden share'....yet...
