I circa sessanta milioni di sterline di debito hanno determinato l’inevitabile penalizzazione in classifica del Portsmouth. Ai “Pompeys” sono stati detratti nove punti, allontanando, così, ulteriormante le residue speranze di salvezza della formazione. L’allenatore Grant ha speso parole di conforto in favore dei tifosi ( foto ) che ritiene essere le uniche vere vittime della deplorevole situazione. Guai di altra natura per J.Terry il quale, lasciando “Stamford Bridge” dopo la sconfitta patita dal Chelsea contro l’ Inter, ha investito con l’auto uno steward procurandogli la frattura di una gamba. Il difensore è stato interrogato dalla polizia in merito al fatto.

 

 

The uncertainty continues over the bottom-placed Premier League side

Crisis club Portsmouth have been docked nine points by the Premier League for going into administration last month.

It means the bottom-placed side are now 17 points from safety with nine games left, making relegation almost certain.With debts of about £60m, Pompey became the first Premier League club in history to enter administration.Manager Avram Grant said last month: “Football should be decided on the pitch not in the courts, not in the Premier League offices.”The announcement came a day after HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) formally dropped its challenge over the validity of the club’s move into administration.

In a statement, the Premier League said: “Following the High Court’s decision that Portsmouth FC’s administration is valid the Premier League board convened to apply the League’s rules and policies in relation to a member club suffering an event of insolvency.”As a result Portsmouth FC has been deducted nine points with immediate effect. As part of this process the board met with the administrator to agree how we will work together for the remainder of the season to ensure that the club is able fulfil its commitments.”Premier League rules dictate that clubs entering administration are automatically deducted nine points – a point less than in the Football League as there are fewer clubs in the division – and means Grant’s side are now firmly rooted to the foot of the table, 14 points behind Burnley and Hull, in 18th and 19th spot.

However, the club’s administrator Andrew Andronikou has previously said that the penalty could be challenged, saying: “Yes, it is a Premier League rule but that rule has never been tested, and that’s what I will do.”A drop to the Championship for the south-coast side looks extremely likely, although they can look forward to an FA Cup semi-final clash with Fulham or Tottenham in April.Grant added last month that his sympathies lay with the Pompey supporters and that they should not be the ones to suffer for the club’s financial problems.

“The fans should not be victims in this scenario,” the Israeli said. “Of course, we should not be docked nine points. All my life I have been fighting for justice and in the interests of fair play, we need football to be decided on the field.”Maybe someone, somewhere, will think about the fans, who have done nothing wrong.”Portsmouth have also been told they will not be able to compete in Europe next season, even if they win the FA Cup, having beaten Birmingham to make the last four.Andronikou was appointed on 26 February with the aim of cutting costs and finding a buyer for the Hampshire team.The club, who opted to go into administration ahead of a scheduled winding up order from HMRC, announced last week they had axed 85 jobs, although no players have so far been forced to leave.The administrator has stated that there are “five substantial interested parties” keen to buy the club, Andronikou confirming that he has met Cheshire millionaire Rob Lloyd, who is leading a consortium interested in buying the club.

“LEONI FUORI GABBIA”

ID:	8388013
Category:	Sport
Descrizione:	Un noto leader di una Firm, richiesto di commentare i consueti incidenti procurati all’estero dai Lads, dichiarò alla stampa “Margaret Thatcher ci deve condannare pubblicamente ma dentro di sè sarà sicuramente orgogliosa del lavoro fatto dai ragazzi”.. Questo libro si propone come un viaggio attraverso quarant’anni di trasferte oltre Manica dei Casuals britannici al seguito delle selezioni nazionali e delle squadre di club. La narrazione delle principali trasferte può facilmente diventare il paradigma per descrivere centinaia di giornate nelle quali le firms hanno esportato all’estero il loro bagaglio di fedeltà, nazionalismo, alcoolismo e, spesso, anche violenza. Il volume si propone come naturale seguito di “Lads 2009”, dello stesso autore, che illustra la scena attuale dei mobs britannici tra le mura domestiche. Sangue, birra e Red Hand gli ingredienti ricorrenti di un cocktail spesso esplosivo
