The Premier League club obtained funds on Thursday morning and paid the cash straight into the players' bank accounts. A spokesman for the club confirmed that the players have now been paid and the confirmation followed chief executive Peter Storrie's pledge that the issue was on the brink of being resolved. A Portsmouth spokesperson said: "We are pleased to say the players have now been paid." Storrie was also keen to stress that players would not be sold on the cheap in order to help ease their financial crisis. He added: "I've had one or two calls and I think one or two people think there is some sort of fire sale going on. "That is not the case. If we have to sell players we'll sell them for their market price and not what people think is a knock down price."
