Survival battle goes on for Pompey

PORTSMOUTH have accepted Sulaiman Al Fahim’s resignation from the board as the club continues to battle for survival under the threat of a winding-up order.

However, Portsmouth were left mystified as to why Al Fahim posted his ‘private and confidential’ resignation as non-executive chairman on a public website before informing the club of his intentions.

Al Fahim’s resignation letter was posted on www.arabianbusiness.com with the former board member claiming he had not been made aware of the club’s financial situation despite repeated requests.
