I doubt you'll reply to this, but here goes...
- Southampton went into Admin in April 2009. They didn't sign any players between going into admin and the takeover. Before that they used 18 -21 year olds when needed.
- Pompey are going into admin in February 2012 whilst the loan window is still open. They have under 18 players that can be used and should be used.
Southampton had more players than Pompey do, but they did use the younger members of the squad and didn't need to get to the under 18's. Pompey on the other hand have a small squad and refuse to use the players in the under 18's already at the club and instead want to add new senior players.
