Not automatically. It's a penalty condition on getting their golden share back due to them diluting the first CVA, which is something not specifically in the regulations. (Unsurprising really. Usually, either a CVA gets repaid in full, or a company goes under.) If they went straight down without the ten point deduction, whether the FL would take another look is another matter.

It's not a penalty for going INTO administration, which is what would normally get carried over if applied after the cut off date. Whether the Football League would choose to carry it over if they decide it didn't punish them is another matter. I suspect they're currently of the mindset that they'll cross that bridge IF they get to it.

Maybe if no one mentions it and pretends it doesn't exist, it'll just go away.

The luck they've had in the courts, the number of times they've overspent, just assuming it'll all be all right, that they'll get away with it... It's like they've played a game of Russian Roulette, and all of a sudden are wondering if maybe they shouldn't have taken that 6th shot.

Fantastic performance. Could easily have won that. Really didn't see anything wrong with our 2nd 'goal'?

It was players on both sides it was happening to. Maybe players tend to wear shorter studs these days for fear of getting their foot planted and picking up a serious injury?

Aye, I reckon that most days, the tactics we changed to would have got us the win. Maybe going more attacking would have got us the win on the day yesterday, but I'm not convinced it would work more often in the long run.

Would have taken the point before the match, we've got that. Villa is a huge huge game now.

F***

W*****s on Solent didn't spot the offside for a few seconds!

There's going to be plenty of injury time at the end of this...

Stokes remaining defenders now taking each other out...

We want four.... We want four...

Stoke have been seriously hurt by their defensive suspensions by the look of it.

Aaaand we're done here.

This. We just got one ourselves today, it's a fantastic picture.

Would have taken that before the match. Was Ramirez' shot over the line?

Ah well, just 1m left to raise to get back to the start line after that 2m floating charge was missed. Providing they earn at the same time enough to pay for the legal costs and admin fees that are racking up after the court case was delayed.

What category academy are they expected to get? Category 3 can't coach players until they reach 11, and category 4 would have to wait until they reach 16. Concentrating on youth just doesn't ring true when it's part of the PST's plan to ditch it.

If this thread ever does end (hah!) it should be FF bookending it and ending it with just a Spike Milligan misquote. 'I told you they were ill'

Black holes are obviously a divide by zero error. Whoever's out there should take a look at that.

Whatever it is, there's nothing that can surprise me anymore.

The running of a computer simulation doesn't imply the creation of sentience. In the case that it doesn't, we're left with the original actual existence as the only possibility. This leaves the probability that we're a simulation tied to the probability that sentience can be created in a computer simulation, rather than the probability that an 'existence' is either the original, or one of an almost unlimited number of simulations.

Never mind the football, the finances, or the rivalry for the moment. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/pompey-fan-dies-in-car-park-after-preston-match-1-4592667 RIP.

I can't see Pompey in their current form surviving, but who out of them will have the money or the will to carry on with a phoenix club once this farce has played out?
