@pn_neil_allen: #Pompey players and staff have not paid for January. Andronikou reveals club bank account has been frozen after HMRC winding-up petition.

Any news on Antonov?

Whoops indeed....minus 10 points please... " Portsmouth's players will not be paid their monthly wages - in a massive new blow for the cash-strapped club. Boss Michael Appleton had to break the shock news to the squad on Monday as the Fratton Park outfit faced up to an uncertain financial future. The wages will not be paid until a bank account, frozen by the tax man, is cleared for use and Pompey will try to sort out that problem on Tuesday. Pompey will also have to rely on their players wanting to risk their careers without any guarantee of pay while they try to sell some of them to get the cash to avoid a winding-up order. The crisis really hit home when the squad found out that there is nothing going into their banks in the latest horror twist for the troubled club. Pompey may now be forced to do quick deals as the club unravels. Ipswich boss Paul Jewell wants to push through a £1.5million-plus double swoop for versatile Joel Ward and centre half Jason Pearce. Jewell is trying to agree a fee with Pompey's administrator. However senior officials have refused to sanction the move. Meanwhile Fulham boss Martin Jol is set to sign Portsmouth's Australian starlet Ryan Williams in a £500,000 raid on the cash-strapped club. Midfielder Williams was in talks at Craven Cottage yesterday and played for their reserves last night ahead of joining Jol's first-team squad as Pompey try to raise funds without harming their own squad.

James Pearce @Pearcesport Mandaric says it wasn't Redknapp's money in Rosie47. "It was my money". Mandaric says Redknapp only entitled to profit on it

I chuckled out loud

Darn, if only someone had invented mobile telephones with built in camera we'd have conclusive proof by now.... ;-)

Matt Sullivan @MattSully90 @Adzman89 @westhamfootball Billy Sharp having medical with Southampton, seriously bad news. What can they offer that we can't?

We'll be scoring 4 or 5 each game now, so we can afford to concede 2 or 3 per game..... ;-)

*like*

Or Billy Connolly....

How long does it take to have a medical? FFS....come on.... #impatient

Twitter rumour that Barnard might be heading in the opposite direction....
