How are Portsmouth's finances? Can't imagine this will be good news for them! Really pleased for Oxford.ย 

Must be in a dire state. Be a shame if we lose our ridiculously bad fishy neighbours

FFS!

Yet another year goes by without the prospect of the added pleasure of seeing them struggle in the Championship :(

Don't worry. I can see them struggling with L1 next season. And with the bank. And HMRC.

My wish came true. That flatbed cab and accompanying convoy will be full Asda Smart Price lager cans, copies of Fishing Weekly and used Kleenex.ย

Excellent 24 hours of football.

Have you been on the Pompey team coach before?

Hahahahahaha!

Already getting their "we didn't actually WANT to get promoted" excuses in on reddit:

"Always had the impression that the Eisners had a three year plan to get to the championship. They might be a little relieved to be able to build infrastructure on their timeline."

Twitter reacting how youโ€™d expect. Should have had 3 pens and Oxford should have had 2 reds so all the refs fault. The pompey job is the hardest in football and of course, they donโ€™t want to go up anyway.ย 
how long have the been in the bottom 2 divisions now? A decade?ย 
Genuinely thinkย theyll be in financial difficulties again soon.ย

Theyโ€™ve been in the bottom 2 divisions for 9 years now. Theyโ€™re pathetic.

This year more then ever they needed promotion. Overspent as usual, and thanks to Covid, thereโ€™s a very real chance that the gap between Championship and League 1 gets even greater. You love to see it.ย

I'll tell you this for nothing, unlike major financial institutions let's give them some credit - they had a decent season, a memorable cup run, thatย i'll never forget, and were only beaten by a bigger teamย tonight.

It's not like they play dinosaur hoofball from Division Four in 1975, their loyal fans haveย had great entertainment along the way.

Isn't the coming season the one with the ยฃ2.5m wage cap for squad salaries in League One?

I think Pompey's current total is ยฃ3.5-ยฃ4m at the moment.....
