Crappy New Year: Only 3 players on Portsmouth's '13 calendar still with club

Posted by Chris Wright

Not that they need telling, but Portsmouth are in the doo-doo at the moment; a squad made up of youth players, trialists and short-termers, firmly rooted in the League One relegation zone and in administration without two pennies to rub together, awaiting yet another 10-point deduction and teetering on the precipice of extinction.

Thirty-three players have signed for Pompey since they were relegated from the Championship at the end of the 2011-12 season. In that time, 32 have left or seen their contracts expire.

Times are hard at Fratton Park, a fact exemplified by their current official 2013 calendar, which is already 75 percent out of date despite the year only being 10 days old.

Thanks to Pompey's latest senior player exodus, of the 12 players featured, nine no longer play for the club...

Less than a fortnight of the year gone and already Pompey's 2013 calendar reads like a history book. Not good.
