Latest table sans Pompey

I may be thick and slow.

But why not give them part payment of the parachute then deduct it from the final payment ?

or is that to easy or just wrong ?

That would make sense Mr Daddy, but they are probably afraid of setting precedence and encourage teams to gamble. All I know is that there is no way I see the league will allow Pompey to flat out fold during mid season. However they will not stand in the way of forcing administration, which in this case means certain relegation. Not that wouldn't be the outcome anyway. But 10 points will certainly be the nail in the coffin.

What happens after the season the league doesn't care. They'll wash their hands and send them down with a smile on their face.
