Yes and no. The players voluntarily ( although in reality were pushed into ) took a pay cut to avoid so many redundancies. If they hadn't then they knew THEY could be the ones taking redundancy. The preferred creditors rule in England means all the other staff would have to be made redundant...

I thought there was already some sort of council protection on what the land could be used for ?

Simple answer - NO. They've had more than one chance to put their house in order.

I think part of the problem is the club don't own the ground so if it's wound up where would they play ? That said, I agree with you - they've had plenty of chances and it should now be goodbye Pompey !

Apparently £20m to the previous owners and £12m to prove you have the future running costs !!!! As it if it's worth it - of course it bloody isn't !

Although to be fair I don't think any fans group is going to raise £32m to take over the club - thick or not !

A fair point but I would direct you to Man Utd fans who have being, and continue, to question how their club is run and it's finances ( and yes, it depresses me to hold up some Man Utd fans as a beacon of fan resistance ! ).

If I were a Pompey fan the bit in that article that would REALLY scare me would be : "One way or another I'm going to get my money back” Balram Chainrai I'd be very surprised if they dodge the bullet this time and TBH the whole of football needs a "shock" like this to wake up.
