Two 'serious' bids for club, say Portsmouth

Portsmouth claimed to have received two “serious” offers to buy the club during a hearing at the British High Court when they were granted extra time to fight a winding-up petition from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.

The Premier League’s bottom club were given seven days to produce a statement of affairs to HMRC to detail their exact financial position, with the matter being heard before a judge at the first available date after February 19.
