LONDON — English football club Portsmouth has been deducted 10 points after entering bankruptcy protection for the second time in two years.
The points deduction leaves the 2008 FA Cup winners out of the relegation zone in England’s second division on goal difference.
Portsmouth’s application to go into financial administration was approved at London’s High Court on Friday after racking up debts of about 4 million pounds ($6 million).
Portsmouth’s parent company, Convers Sports Initiatives, went into administration in November.
