BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport #pompey administrators PKF confirm that Football League have assured Pompey will start season in League One - & without points penalty Expand Reply Retweet Favorite BBC Solent Sport ‏@solentsport To clarify statement from PKF - #pompey will start next season without further points deduction even if they are still in admin .......... Again they are answering a question that has an answer already in the public domain (on the Football League regulations document available to everyone on their website). The Football League rules show that they wouldn't get a points penalty for remaining in admin this summer. I don't know why the BBC and Pompey News think it may have been an issue. What about a penalty for diluting the failed 2010 CVA with a new 2012 CVA? Why haven't the BBC asked the Football League or PKF about that?

Who?

You are also making the assumption that £7m is the majority of the total budget. In reality, none of us know what the budget is. Although spending £7m on one player, to me at least suggests it is quite healthy.

It may be a long wait, they don't have a lot of cash to splash and will probably prioritise Pienaar higher.

Proud to be at your service.

Saints didn't have a bid accepted for him last season, so it didn't get to the point where he was required to make a decision.

This can only end in tears or multiple insurance claims.

So you don't think being 8th top scorer (whilst at a newly promoted mid table club) in possibly the world's best league shows that you don't need a great deal of pace to score goals? That seems to be what some are saying of Lambert.

I did also say, "8th overall" top scorer in the Premier League. Is that not a big deal?

He may well be quicker, but that isn't what got him his 15 league goals. Holt would be beaten for pace by a large number of Premier League defenders so relies on other attributes, in the same way Lambert does.

How many of Holt's league goals last season do you think came down to beating a Premier League defender for pace? A number of Lambert come about due to his clever movement away from centre-backs and onto fullback's to beat them in the air at the far post on diagonals. No matter how good a defender the likes of Ashley Cole are, Lambert will beat him in the air every time. Pace also not required for his superb free-kicks and penalty taking ability, nor his long range shots and good passing, first touch and vision.

How did Grant Holt become the Premier League's 2nd highest English scorer last season (8th overall in the League with 15 league goals)? Not that I like to compare Holt with Lambert (as I think Lambert has more to his game than Holt), but both lack pace.

Well they would be misguided if they thought that, because Burnley didn't have a bid accepted by Chelsea, so Cork didn't have a choice to make between the two clubs.

I'm taking a strange degree of pleasure from it. Is that wrong? He keeps saying he doesn't care, yet he keeps replying. Something doesn't correlate there!

He's found me out for what many on here knew years ago.

I've been found out.

Guly Do Prado, De Ridder and even Lallana can be used "up front".

If undisclosed at Saints end, I think Burnley will let it slip in order to justify it to their fanbase. Especially as new joint chairman have only just been appointed and this will be seen as their first actions whilst in charge.

On what is that based?

He didn't answer my question then. What should I ask him now?

No you can't, there are transfer windows for free transfers.
