Portsmouth Europa Decision

[GrandOldTeam]

Does anyone know when the outcome of their appeal will be known?

Can't help but think they'll wait to see who finishes 7th before making a decision.

You'd think clubs like us should be entitled to know. After all, Moyes and Arteta admitted he was risked against Blackburn - such risks are calculated upon an outcome, the outcome in this case being 7th = Europe...

I cant help but think the weight of Portsmouths appeal will vary dramatically on who finishes 7th.

Me, cynical with UEFA/FA behaviour towards Liverpool? Never...

They will get the rub of the green, if it's us that's 7th then Pompey will get it, if it's The [Poor language removed] then ot will be "sorry Pompey."

Someone should remind Msr. Platini about who was responsible for the worst night of his life.

judging by the scale of the mess pompey are in - how on earth can the F.A even contemplate letting them compete in the europa league next year....... (fingers crossed).

won't be the f.a. it'll be uefa making the decision.

okay - replace F.A with U.E.F.A - the same point applies
Another galling point is (correct me if i'm wrong) but aren't Burnley currently in line for any possible fair-play place ??? FFS two championship sides competing in europe - why don't they just bring back the Anglo Italian cup

with debts of £120mill i doubt they could afford the plane abroad for matches anyway (if the planes are back onside by then that is). lets face it average grant n pompy aint got the proverbial pot to pi$$ in so midweek flights abroad seems a bit far-fetched

Fairly sure it's the FA first mate, UEFA have already said it's basically up to them.

Indeed, the decision is with the FA. It's the FA's deadline that Pompey missed, the FA then submit it to UEFA but UEFA's own deadline hasn't come around yet.

Danny from memory it was that they had to be out of administration and have filed accounts by the 25th May in order to have any possibility of being granted the appeal.

Don't quote me on that but that is what I recall.

 

[Columbia6]

Well apparently Portsmouth consider themselves exempt from all rules these days (missing this deadline, protesting against their 9-point administration deduction, trying to sell players outside the transfer window, not paying their players or the taxman) so nobody should be surprised if they meet neither of these conditions and yet continue to demand the right to play.

Had it up to the ears with this club now, even if the RS come 7th I want them to get into Europe ahead of this pack of clowns.

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

They need to be out of debt i believe. So unless a miracle happens, they wont be playing in Europe.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

they even took 1mill from spurs for a player then sold him to stoke instead, that mill is still owed.

so some of it is clearly outstanding work from the previous regime. I'd give them 3 points back just for that.

 

[Goat]

I see what you mean now with the "view last post" button.

Now I can read what you say, stalker boy.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

They still have the problem of the French player, one more game and they owe 3.4 mill.

If Villa win tonight - then its lights out for Europe anyway for me.
