Portsmouth's administrator Andrew Andronikou retains hope that the Fratton Park club can avoid a nine-point penalty, despite going into administration on Friday.
Pompey's relegation from the Premier League would be made all but certain if they are docked nine points, but Andronikou is refusing to throw in the towel just yet.
He told Sky Sports News:"I understand everyone is taking it for granted we are going to be docked the nine points.
"It is something I need to broach with the Premier League and then look to start talking about parachute payments. I need that to be confirmed during the course of the week.
"We need to go through the formal process. I think it is early days to be talking about deducting the nine points.
"It is the rule at the moment, but we are the first Premier League club to have gone into administration, so let's just test the rule."
