No. A deal is a deal, and Pompey need to pay him back, no matter how tough their situation is.
Pompey should be allowed to purchase players without getting Chelsea's approval.
Portsmouth has many debts to other teams for past transfers (Arsenal, Rennes, Chelsea) and according to Premiere League rules, the debts must be paid before Pompey can purchase new players. Unless the owed teams give up, or postpone the debt. Which is what Pompey is trying to do, and has already secured Aresnal's and Rennes' agreements. Now it needs Chelsea.
Avram Grant has resigned as Portsmouth manager, signing off with an open letter to the club's fans thanking them for their role in a "wonderful and uplifting experience."
West Ham will get relegated, that's almost certain!
They will climb up the table soon.
West Ham got only one win out of their first seven games and sit bottom of the league table but manager Avram Grant is optimistic and says that the team is playing well and will survive in the top flight. What do you say?
They barely made it last season, it's not going to happen twice!
They will make it, the team is pretty good.
With only two wins out of sixteen games and just three points on the road West Ham are bottom of the Premier League table. The last game brought another away defeat for Avram Grant's men, 1-0 at Sunderland, as the Hammers are still looking for the first away win of the season while scoring just four goals on the road. Avram Grant: "I think we have a very good squad to stay up. We showed that in our last two games."
Premier League Portsmouth coach, Avram Grant, was reported by the Sun newspaper to be seen entering a "seedy" Thai massage parlor, and leaving it an hour later.
Only one team in Premier League history have survived with fewer points than the 13 that Avram Grant's West Ham will have on Christmas Day. Despite that manager Avram Grant remains confident: "We can do it, of course! As long as we show this spirit I am sure we can stay in this league. I am not interested in statistics and history."
Not a hope, today's 9 point deduction has ended any chance they had
It will be tough but somehow, Pompey will stay up!
I'm sure most of you have read or heard the news today that Portsmouth have finally entered administration and as a result have been decducted 9 points. It's a shame and 99.99% would now say they will be playing Championship football next season.
Perhaps you are the .01% and think they will stay up? I am certainly not that person!
No, Pompey will get relegated but will come back up immediately.
Yes, the once FA Cup champions are all done but dusted I'm afraid.
Portsmouth were crowned champions of England less than 2 years ago and credit to them again, they've managed a trip to Wembley, for the penultimate stage of the FA Cup. Their Premier League amibtions seem over, however, is the club about to have played it's last ever Premier League season?
