Linvoy Primus’ first press conference:

Congratulations on being hired Linvoy, could this be the dream job for a retired footballer?
Yes, it’s great to return to Portsmouth I have had some of the best times of my life here.

The club is in mountains of debt, with the previous staff members including manager Michael Appleton having their contracts terminated, how will this affect your vision for the club going forward?
With no transfer funds, a negative wage budget and a Transfer Embargo enforced indefinitely I think my vision for the club has been smashed to smithereens.

Is it true you’ve taken a large wage cut from your previous backroom jobs in taking this job?
I have indeed taken a large wage cut, but my passion for football and being able to carry on helping young people and people in the communities around the football club is enough payment for me. I feel that the fact that money is a driving force in football is a shame; it’s no longer about passion and love for the game.

With the dedicated fans Portsmouth have, surely there will be no worries on the support side of things?
No, none at all, the Portsmouth fans are as loyal as they come, I just hope they have faith in me and give me enough time to turn the clubs misfortunes around.

Will any of the playing staff be leaving in the near future?
Unfortunately I’m being forced into letting the club’s highest earners go, what is even more unfortunate is that these happen to be our best players.

How much of a stumbling block will the ten point deduction prove to be over the coming months?
Oh it will be huge, that is one thing I’m certain of. It may be the difference in relegation and staying up this season and therefore between me keeping my job and me being unemployed again.
Thank you all and I look forward to the next time we speak.

Thank you all for the immediate positive feedback, it's more than I ever expected There will be a small update tonight or a large pre-season summary tomorrow

/BREAKING NEWS/
Primus forced to sell best players by administrators.

Ricardo Rocha is the first player to leave financially trouble Portsmouth as the administrators force the highest earners out the door. The 33year-old Portuguese defender played for Sporting Braga, Benfica, Tottenham and Standard Liege before moving to Portsmouth in 2010.

The initial bid of 400 thousand pound from Newcastle United was accepted by the administrators immediately, this quick process is believed to be Portsmouth transfer policy until their situation improves.

Pre-season: Port Vale.

Primus' Posse travel to Vale Park, in search for another exercise in squad harmony and an effort to raise morale and fitness across the squad. Varney scores again and Primus will hope that he can remain consistent in an effort to maintain a steady flow of goals,
which will be necessary to beat the drop this season.
