Pompey Just Can't Catch A Break...

Poor Paul Hart.

On or off the pitch.

Word is that the FA have banned Portsmouth from registering new players a la Chelsea. When asked about the "embargo," Peter Storrie, Pompey's chief executive, insisted that the it was simply the result of a technicality and would be "sorted out" in a matter of days.

Now, there's a positive: Pompey won't have to wait till 2011 to sign new players like the Blues. But even that becomes a negative, when you realize that that's the only good news the club has received since the season's start.

While it's admirable that Storrie has found some silver lining (seriously, the man is more absurdly optimistic than the delusional few who still think LiLo is capable of getting her act together), it remains to be seen whether players will actually want to sign at Fratton Park. What with their 3 owners in 3 months AND not being able to pay the players' wages AND being bottom of the table and all. You know, those few, inconsequential details....
