Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 03/12/2010 - 09:36
Portsmouth boss Avram Grant wants the Premier League to make a decision over their points penalty for entering administration.
Grant admits his team would like to know for definite how many points they will have to claw back if they are to avoid relegation.
He said: "I still believe that this needs to be decided on the pitch and we'll see how we get on.
"We can still do it, but we need to know for sure what will happen. We can't just keep reading in the papers every day that we are nine points down.
"Of course it affects the players, but when they come to the pitch, they are trying everything they can do to win the games."
