Thank God. Next stage is to try and find investment, so shieky sheikhy - time for a dinner party with some friends me thinks...
We CAN'T let Pompey go out of business or we will lose fourth IMO.

I can't remember who it was but someone said nothing now will happen until the summer when its "not a premier league problem" - it was a top notch pundit but I forget who it was - sounds right to me, the fucking FA are like the illuminati at times

Can the points be taken off us if they go bust in the summer?

This is the result of skewed football finances that have taken hold over the last twenty five years. Time was when a club like Pompey, or Ipswich, Forest, Derby etc could compete, if they were well managed and had an even run of luck with injuries. Surely that's the way football should be.
The cynical side of me agrees, that the Premier League won't allow one of it's member to go bump mid season. Come the summer, when they're relegated that's another matter.

We're talking about a club whose record attendance only just tips 20,000 mate - to sign the players on the money they were on under harry was reckless, even if they did get a cup out of it, you ask why they should accept always failing, because you have to spend money in the modern game, if you don't, you won't win anything - if you can't pay it back, you should accept your role in life as a low level premier league team or a top level championship team - like we did until the takeover
