Beleaguered club Pompey to sack 85 employees

LONDON -- Portsmouth administrator Andrew Andronikou announced Wednesday that 85 of the cash-strapped club's employees have been made redundant.

But he added he was receiving “inquiries on a daily basis” regarding a takeover for the bottom of the table Premier League side and that no players, who comprise many of Pompey's biggest earners, had been sacked.

Andronikou also said he was confident the south coast side would be able to answer questions from British tax authorities and that Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie had taken a 40 percent pay cut.

Portsmouth are due to return to the High Court on March 15 to answer a winding-up order brought by tax authorities.
