Paul Hart calls for Portsmouth to pull together
The charge relates back to the transfer of midfielder Amdy Faye from French club Auxerre to Portsmouth for £1.5 million in Aug 2003. [LNB]"The football club is going through a difficult period. That's there for everybody to see," Hart said.

We might not have seen the tip of it yet. It might be harder but we just have to stick together, put our heads above the parapet and wear our tin helmets. [LNB]"I've been in football a long time. I've not seen it and done it all and I'm not trying to be clever, but nothing surprises me." [LNB]Pompey have generally been regarded as having played well in several games they've lost this season but plaudits for attractive football cut no ice with their manager. [LNB]"Outside the top four, that 'beautiful game' syndrome we all talk about is a myth. It's just a war and the next four games probably won't disappoint on that basis," Hart said. [LNB]"Last year there was a lot of criticism about me playing 4-5-1 and gritty performances and grinding out results which helped keep us up in the Premiership," he added. [LNB]"It kept us up and people moaned, but now they're saying we need some gritty displays. You turn the team out to play to their strengths and that's what we have been doing." [LNB]Pompey are four points adrift of safety.[LNB]
