Pompey deduction confirmed
17 Mar 2010 - 11:10:38
The Premier League have confirmed that basement side Portsmouth have been docked nine points for entering administration.
The penalty was a formality after Pompey were forced to go into administration to ward off the threat of a winding-up order from HMRC.
Portsmouth now only have ten points and are 17 points adrift of the safety mark and are certain to be relegated to the Championship at the end of the campaign.
A Premier League statement confirmed: "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."
