Premiership club Portsmouth are facing a battle for survival over the next few weeks as their £11.5m tax bill and £60m debt threatens to bankrupt the club. Pompey have failed to play their wages on time on 4 occasions this season and have been forced to sell their best players like Defoe, Crouch, Krancjar and Glen Johnson to lessen the debt.
Their story bears striking similarity to the Metrostars who are also reported to be in debt and an insider at the club revealed that no wages have been paid to the players last month. Fears of a fire-sale were proved unfounded, however, when it was realised that the Metrostars don't pay any wages at all.
