Pompey threaten to sue over ban

CRISIS-HIT Portsmouth are threatening to sue the Premier League over the transfer ban imposed on the cash-strapped club.

Pompey, whose match against Birmingham on Saturday was called off because of a waterlogged Fratton Park pitch, are also expected to find out today if they have won their battle to prevent the club from being wound up.

Pompey are currently banned from operating in the January transfer window because of outstanding debts to other clubs. They also had £7million of TV money handed direct to those debtors by the Premier League.
