Mokoena bemoans Pompey 'chaos'

The financially-stricken outfit have paid their players late three times in the past four months and according to Mokoena, owner Ali Al Faraj remains a shadowy figure. Mokoena claims Portsmouth's players have still to meet the Saudi Arabian businessman since he took over the club three months ago. Branding the club's current state as 'chaos', the 29-year-old is desperate for there to be more transparency. "It's chaos. No-one knows what's happening and it's destabilising the players," he told the Daily Star. "This club needs to be saved and to stay in the Premier League. "The players feel we need to be told what the situation is so we can focus on that. "We haven't met the new owners and we don't really know who they are exactly. "It's unacceptable that I'm playing for Portsmouth but I don't know who the owner is! "I'm shocked by it. If you buy a club, you should meet the staff. But it hasn't happened and I can't see it happening any time soon. "We have a mountain to climb. We just hope we don't lose any players."
