Pompey

Feel sorry for them tbh that guy with all the tatts lol Mr Pompey

Well found Sid.Rep. I'll give it awhile here before I move it to other Football section (sorry guys but it ain't Spurs). Terrible when a famous old club can get screwed by so-called beneficiries and owners. Football in the 21st century is not a pretty place to be if you are a fan . . . . .

Portsmouth 'likely to close down'

Pompey went into administration in February 2010

Portsmouth say they are likely to fold after talks with former owner and key creditor Sacha Gaydamak broke down.

The club claim that Gaydamak demanded an upfront cash payment to allow Pompey to exit administration and thereby endangered their ability to trade.

"It appears likely that the club will now be closed down and liquidated by the administrators," said Pompey.

But administrator Andrew Andronikou insisted weekend talks could lead to a "satisfactory conclusion".

The club have been in a precarious position since the most recent plan to exit administration was vetoed on 14 October with the Football League demanding clarification on four issues.

The club initially went into administration in February with debts of about £120m and received a nine-point penalty that made their relegation to the Championship almost inevitable.
