Pennant focused on beating drop
Jermaine Pennant is keen to focus on keeping Portsmouth in the Premier League before resolving his own future.[LNB] The winger is on loan at Fratton Park from Liverpool until the end of the season with his Anfield contract due to expire in the summer.[LNB]Rather than concerning himself with where he will be plying his trade next term, the former Notts County and Arsenal man has set his sights on preserving Pompey's top-flight status.[LNB]The South Coast club have slipped into the bottom three ahead of Saturday's vital trip to fellow strugglers Middlesbrough, although they have a game in hand on all their rivals.[LNB]ImportantPennant said: "It's too early to think about staying beyond the summer at the moment. [LNB]"I have got more important things to think about than me staying or going.[LNB]"I have got a job to do here to try to keep Portsmouth in the Premier League. [LNB]"If I do that, then I can think about my future afterwards."[LNB]Pennant was brought to Fratton Park by Tony Adams but played just three times under the Gunners legend before he was axed after a poor run of results.[LNB]Paul Hart and Brian Kidd have taken over managerial duties until the end of the season and Pennant is happy to play under the new duo.[LNB]ActionPennant said: "Tony got me here, but if results aren't going your way then the board are going to take action. [LNB]"You can always say that maybe he needed more time, but that's football. [LNB]"A lot of managers have been through the same thing as Tony and got the sack.[LNB]"Paul Hart and Brian Kidd have come in and done well."[LNB]
