'If It's Football, It's Vital'
FA and premier league hit back
Following further comments made by Admin Andy in the media today - the guy does spend a lot of time in front of the cameras and talking to the papers doesn't he! - regarding a place in Europe next season, well a lack of it, the FA and premier league have released a joint-statement 'fighting back'.
As we know we did not apply by their date, even if it is not a uefa date but according to this statement even up to today we have made no effort to put in a formal application to take part next season, despite his claims that this had/was being done...
It also states that he, and the lawyers working on our behalf, were made aware of the fact that our application would be declined a couple of weeks back, not to mention various criteria not being met, again which they were aware of.
All in all it seems a lot of huff and puff has gone into this but no real action taken with 'claims' being made, and suggestions of not getting, help 'perhaps' wide of the mark - so, as previously said about the guy back along, perhaps taking what is told to us by him with a 'pinch of salt' is something that must be done more?
The full statement is below...
PLAY UP POMPEY!
Joint Premier League and FA statement on Portsmouth FC's UEFA Club Licence.
Following comments in the media made by Portsmouth FC's Administrator Andrew Andronikou regarding the UEFA Club Licence, the Premier League and The FA would like to make clear the following:
The Premier League and The FA are both fully committed to upholding the governance criteria set out in the UEFA Licence for all clubs looking to compete in European competition.

it does seem, if i am reading it the right way, that admin andy has been saying 'alot about this and that' and blaming lots of people, saying this and that was happening when in actual fact it seems that not alot to 'try' and make this happen has actually been done, with him being aware for some time that we would not get in - so, alot of time looks like its being spent in front of the cameras and talking to journalists about this and that when no actions were actually following these words? time for admin andy to perhaps be seen and not heard...
