Portsmouth news
Portsmouth are managed by the affable Harry Redknapp who made his name ‘wheeling and dealing’ in the transfer market at West Ham.
But Pompey are now backed by the millions of businessman Alexandre Gaydamak which has allowed Redknapp to bring in England strikers Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch.
Redknapp also has an eye for experienced campaigners and the likes of David James and Sol Campbell played their part in 2008’s FA Cup win over Cardiff which saw the Fratton Park outfit qualify for the Uefa Cup for the first time in their history.
Portsmouth’s ground holds just short of 21,000 fans and they are set to move to a new home in the near future as soon as a suitable site is granted planning permission.
