Pompey woes set to deepen

THIS week has just got to be a better one for Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp.

Or has it? True, it will take a lot to make it worse than the last seven days, when Redknapp was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting after having his home raided at dawn by police.

Then on Saturday after his release on bail — without charges — he and 20,000 fans had to suffer this goalless bore against Everton — the third in a row at Fratton Park since Pompey demolished Reading 7-4 in October.
