Things go from bad to worse at Pompey

    Poor Steve Cotterill. The Portsmouth manager probably thought going on tour with just six registered players was as bad as it was going to get. How wrong he was.

    A cancelled flight on Friday night due to a lightning storm saw Pompey stranded in Chicago.

    The players got just four hours’ sleep ahead of Sunday's friendly with DC United in Washington.

    But that was not the worst of it. During their 27-hour trip from Edmonton in Canada to Washington, 14 of their bags went missing - including those with the team’s kit in. Pompey had to borrow DC United’s white away strip.

    And to add insult to injury, they were thumped 4-0.
    The team that lined out consisted mostly of youngsters and academy players.

    Pompey: Ashdown (O’Brien 79); Mullins, Ward, Wilson (Martin 69), Ritchie; Pack (Gregory 60), Brown (c), Hughes; Ciftci, Smith, Nugent (Ryan 83)

    3/1 or so on relegation from the Championship look like decent odds it has to be said.

    There's more - http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/frattonlatest/Pompey-get-green-light-to.6437043.jp
    Pompey have been given the green light to start recruiting players.
    The Football League have granted special dispensation for the Blues to sign up to three players.

    It effectively partially nullifies the latest registration embargo which has been in place since January.

    Now Steve Cotterill can at last start to finalise deals for players he has identified for his Fratton Park squad.

    Topping the list are likely to be trialists Jamie Ashdown and Stephen Jordan.

    Ibrahima Sonko is another candidate, with a season-long loan deal having been agreed with Stoke last week.

    The move comes with Pompey presently three players under the minimum squad size of 20.

    That in itself contravenes Football League guidelines aimed at ensuring competitiveness throughout its three divisions.

    At present, Cotterill has just 17 players registered for the coming season.

    As a result, he is entitled to bring in the amount required to take them up to that 20-player mark – and the Football League have agreed.
