There are a couple of things to bear in mind here, UEFA want the PL to
reduce in size to 18 clubs to bring them in line with most other European
Leagues, but that's not going to happen, is it? The Football League have
always said that if a club folds during the season, then they won't be
replaced. The long-term ambition of the FL is to reduce the numbers of
clubs in their Leagues by two. What's likely to happen is Portsmouth will
go bust, with relegation and promotion continues (but with one less team
being relegated from the PL) until the bottom Division (League Two) ends
up one team short (an extra team won't come into the FL from the
Conference, nor will one less club fall through the relegation trap-door.
And if Portsmouth are reformed, where will they end up? Right at the
bottom of the non-League pyramid? The Conference have an agreement whereby
they have to accept whatever club are relegated from the FL, no matter
what basket cases they get (Chester City), but I don't think this would
apply to a club expelled from the PL.
