So Portsmouth has assured its players that they will be paid the wages they are owed on Friday. Some players were not paid earlier in the week because of “a delay in the transfer of funds” following Sulaiman al Fahim’s recent takeover.
My question is what happened to the money? Al Fahim recently told the club’s supporters he will inject £50m into the club within the next month. So why the delay?
He bought the team a couple of months ago. When Chelsea and Manchester City were bought, the money was there for new players.
But when Al Fahim bought Portsmouth the money has not appeared that makes me ask, does he have the money? The £50m is supposed to be used to clear a reported £40m debt with the balance going towards the running of the club.
But will there be funds be available in the January transfer window? Are those funds part of the £50m or is that a separate amount?
Lots of questions still unanswered about Pompey
