MikeO Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 There's a 253 page document of regs for a club to be UEFA licensed... http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/409406.pdf ...there's a right of appeal if you're refused for some reason, but that doesn't cover Pompey's situation. Don't think they have a leg to stand on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) still, its a good motivation to finish 6th rather than 7th just read this on the OS: But the troubled south coast side are in administration and didn't apply for a Uefa licence because they were unable to fulfil the financial criteria required to make an application at that time. This would prevent them from entering the competition. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2010/04/12/europa-places-update How are they going to be able to fulfill the financial criteria at this stage, since theyre in adminstration?

Lowensda Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 But surely they cant use that argument because you have to bring forward documentation and evidence that shows you (club) currently can meet the financial criteria. Otherwise any Tom, Dick and Harry could apply for a licence under the reasoning that they 'might' be bought out soon?? Pompey...just fuck off lol we want that spot!

thompson013 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 i think they have been playing the sympathy card a little too much lately. i didnt want to see them ended because of thier situation but lets face facts, it was ALL of thier own making! they have noone to blame but themselves. they are relegated now, time to start again, stop crying at everyone else and man the f--k up! i hope to see them again in a few years, i like portsmouth (and the 6 points that thier arrival usualy produces lol) they are a good club and have great fans but by giving them constant leg ups it undermines resposibly ran clubs (like ourselves).

"According to the rules they should be not have been in the Champions League," said Grant, speaking after Porstmouth's 2-2 draw with Bolton.

Romey 1878 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Liverpool are looking like they'll be the team that finishes 7th this season, can you imagine the uproar if Pompey are allowed in meaning that Liverpool don't qualify?
