Green keeping them in it today. Absolute joke that his red card was rescinded.

Could well end up that their last ever match is against us...

The £17M is a bit of a red herring anyway. Even without that, current debt isn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that they're losing over a million a month with no assets except the squad, which is itself now relegation threatened with no prospect of being strengthened.

That's a whole brand new can of worms that might get opened, yes.

I'm guessing they'll have no interest at all while the validity of the £17M is being investigated.

In fairness, they have more of a chance of finishing 17th.

Ah well, Blackpool fall behind, West Ham don't have any sort of decent keeper backup for the next three games, so not the worst outcome we could have had.

Still hoping for the draw between West Ham and Blackpool...

Hmm... let me check the IP address...

'Tis difficult hoping for a draw... at least all the time it stays 0-0 you're hoping it stays boring...

That goal nearly took the roof off!

I'd been neglecting this a bit, but updated now!

Well, it gives a nice symmetry to the table at the moment. We're one point off the top. They're one point off the bottom.

Since the previous CVA has been reduced without the creditors agreeing to it, they've failed to exit the previous admin via the agreed CVA. I reckon the total points deduction heading their way could well kill off any remaining interest from buyers.

Pretty much. Admin has delayed the immediate problem of the WUP, but it was a relatively small debt that pushed them into that. It still doesn't solve the problem of income not being nearly enough to cover costs, which is what's been putting off buyers more than anything else. Once again they're on a clock, but without Andronikou's incentive to keep them going.

That's not cut and dried. They still have Chanrai with the keys to the stadium, and Gaydamak with the land. In fact, now that Chanrai's lost his puppet, he may well claim the stadium, as I'm pretty certain they'll have missed payments on it.

'Pompey Financial Saga' maybe?

My gut feeling is that they're finally toast.

Makes you wonder if they're legally allowed to play at all at the moment.

On Monday we might well find out we haven't got Pompey in April.

That'll do. We have the easier run in, should finish above them, and that'll be enough for promotion.

That'll do. Should overhaul them with our relative run ins.
