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.
