There are massive implications for the other clubs in the Premier League if Pompey were to go into liquidation and all results were null and void. Manure got two big wins against them, so they'd lose 6 points from their current total (as would Chelski and all the other teams who picked points up against Pompey will) and the'd be worse off in the goal-difference to Chelski too. Liverpool actually lost to Pompey, so they'd actually be better off (they wouldn't get extra points, obviously, but they won't lose as many points as the other "big hitters"). At the other end of the table, Wet Sham most definitely would not want Pompey to fold as they'd lose the points they had picked up and would drop to the bottom of the table.
The other clubs - and the Premier League itself - has a lot to lose if Pompey go under. In some form or another they'll get a "get out of jail" card, assuming they don't go into administration, as that's the last thing Balram Chainrai wants right now.
Of course they'll get out it. They're a football club- no, more than that- they're a Premier League football club. Who cares what they do with their money, it doesn't matter. They'll get let off somehow, the Premier league will foot the bill to HMRC or something.
Disgraceful, let them fall. Shame for the fans, but someone has to go which will make people sit up and take notice that you can't spend money you can't pay back.
