Coyle takes his side to the south coast looking for their first Premier League away win of the season.[LNB]However, their hosts are having more off-field problems with the club last night confirming their players had not been paid for a second time in two months.[LNB]Pompey say the squad should receive most of their November salaries today after a delay for an as yet unspecified reason.[LNB]Financial pressures are something Coyle knows all about, working with the smallest budget in the top flight, but he is focused on football.[LNB]"Portsmouth is my concern on Saturday - playing against them but not overall how they go about their business," said the Clarets boss, whose side are currently 12th in the table.[LNB]"My focus is on Burnley Football Club and that's what we concentrate on.[LNB]"I have sat and listened about this club is in financial trouble or that club is in financial trouble. We just concern ourselves with Burnley.[LNB]"We are not a club that's paying forty, fifty, sixty-thousand pounds a week to players that might put you in that financial situation.[LNB]"We concentrate on trying to run our football as well as we can and make a fist of what we've got.[LNB]"I don't think my players have been given enough credit for what they've done and the budget we have tried to work under and we will continue to do that."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
