POMPEY'S last ditch talks to avoid a winding-up order appear to have stalled.
Sky Sports is reporting the discussions about a possible last minute deal have reached an impasse.
However Portsmouth are claiming the talks are continuing regardless.
If a deal cannot be done today, the club's representatives will be in court tomorrow, where a worst-case scenario would see the club cease to exist.
However a more likely outcome would see the club put into administration as the HMRC and other creditors try and recoup at least some of their debts.

Administration would be a good thing for Pompey to be honest...it was the same with Saints. We needed it to happen to clear our debts and get rid of the bad wood like Lowe.
It will not help Saints either because with administration and guaranteed relegation their players will be even more up for the FA Cup game! I'd warn any Saints supporters to tone down the goading as much as possible till after the final whistle of that game.
