Pompey Supporters' Trust responds to Harris bid
Colin Farmery from the Pompey Supporters' Trust has responded to a revised bid for Portsmouth Football Club from the financier Keith Harris. In Harris' revised offer, Portsmouth Football Club fans would be given 15% of the shares in the club for free.
However Farmery said the announcement made today came under curious timing, when the Football League had already made clear that it wanted the Pompey Supporters' Trust to own the club. Farmery said that fans were already on the way to owning the side completely.
– Colin Farmery, Pompey Supporters' TrustWhy on earth would we want to accept an offer of owning 15% of the club when we are on the verge of getting 100% of the club. In our bid Pompey would be 100% owned by Pompey fans. Our bid is the only bid which deals with legacy issues. We would own the Fratton Park ground from day one, making a clean break from the past."

Chainrai bid to buy Pompey "on hold"
Portpin - the company run by former Portsmouth FC owner Balram Chainrai - say its suspended its bid to buy the financially troubled club. It comes three weeks after administrators named the Portsmouth Supporters Trust as the preferred bidder.
In a statement, Mr Chainrai argues sale of the club has taken too long, with administration costs mounting every week. The Hong Kong businessman also said that Portpin's bid is still the best one left on the table. Portsmouth are around £61m in debt and have been in administration since February.
Mr Chainrai - who is owed £17m by Pompey - was in control of the club in 2010 when it went into administration for the first time. It's also been a bad week for the club after Pompey manager Michael Appleton left to take over at Blackpool.
