Portsmouth FC, should they be allowed to sell players in order to avoid being wound up?

No. Make the 'Saviours' of Portsmouth FC accountable and get them to pay the money that is owed to HMRC and to the Players in Wages etc. Too many people have been lining their Pockets at this Club and the Fans deserve better.

Yes. The fans will not have a club to support if it is wound up.

I think the Premier League should take over the club until the end of the season and pay the taxman what they want to keep them going.
If they fold it will make a mess of the league as regards points taken off those who have beaten Pompey.
Selling their players now would also make a mockery of the transfer window and create unfair advantages to those who are yet to play them, if all their senior players are sold.
I've always rated Pompey fans as some of the best in the land,it's those people I feel sorry for.
However what gets my goat is the ones who have got the club into this mess will walk away with no repercussions.
Clubs should not be allowed to be run in such a ridiculous manner financially.
It's about time Football had a reality check,not a blank one!
Boing Boing!

I for one wouldn't like my team to be the position Portsmouth are in , its not the fans fault , High Wages , greedy players etc etc it all plays a part , the sooner they bring in a wages cap the better as surely it would put an end to all these struggling clubs , at the end of the day all they want to do is be able to compete , football in its present climate is just like society , the rich getting richer and dont give a damn while the poorer get poorer .

No. If they can't afford to stay afloat then they must sink. If I had a business that was on the verge of collapse, there wouldn't be any sympathy for my predicament and no 'favours' either.

Just a suggestion: until AB sort this problem out please could you amend your user name - humourous as it is, it is a little too long and throws out the page layout.

[Justincider]

Yes, that is rather a long one isn't it.
