Portsmouth manager Paul Hart must feel frustrated at the way his club is going both on and off the pitch. Last Saturday they lost 4-1 at Arsenal and tomorrow they face Hereford United in the Carling Cup. The Bulls defeated Charlton 1-0 in the first round.
Off the pitch there are rumours that certain players want away and the proposed takeover of the struggling club by long-time prospective buyer Sulaiman Al Fahim seems to be losing momentum. However there was speculation at the weekend that Chief executive Peter Storrie may launch a bid perhaps with Al Fahim involved.
"We can dwell on bad things, bemoan our luck, or you can dust yourself down and get on with it," said Hart.
"There is no point moping around and feeling sorry. You can get on with it or walk away.
"I work for a good football club, with good people, but one which is just having a bad time.
"There has been no problem from the application in the players. While we have this kind of spirit, we can make progress.
"Until all that (the takeover) takes place, I am working on the basis I have been for a few months - which is not a lot.
"It has gone on far too long.
"I was hoping the needed investment was going to take place, but it does not seem to have worked out. It has been a long time doing nothing."
