Administrator hopes to exchange contracts by this weekend Football League would have to ratify Chainrai takeoverSteve Cotterill should soon be able to start adding to his skeletal Portsmouth squad, as the club is close to exchanging contracts with Balram Chainrai to become the clubs new owner.Portsmouth cannot sign new players until the Company Voluntary Agreement is exited, which is in line with Football League rules. While any new owner has to be ratified by the league, the clubs administrator, Andrew Andronikou, said: "Hopefully this is now the final chapter. We have drawn up the final draft of the sale and purchase agreement. I hope this can be signed and exchanged with Mr Chainrai hopefully by this weekend, Ive come back from my holiday to do so."Any deal would have to be ratified by the Football League, they wont lift the player registration embargo until they sign off the sale. But if contracts can be exchanged then at least the [prospective] new owner can at least initiate the process of allowing Steve Cotterill to sign new players."Andronikou stated that the Hong Kong businessman was in contact with the league this week to start the process of becoming the new owner. "Mr Chainrai spoke to them on Monday to initiate the process of completing the fit and proper person test," he said. It is understood the discussion was productive.Cotterills threadbare 15-man squad features 10 senior players and Andronikou said that any transfers out of the club are particularly difficult while the embargo remains and the manager is unable to replace any personnel. Rangers interest in Tommy Smith may be thwarted due to this situation."We have had an offer for Smith but he is one of the only two strikers Steve Cotterill has," said Andronikou. "Our hands are tied. All the players we wanted to bring in on wages of 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 have already been snapped up. The Football League really need to take a look at this embargo situation for the next club in our situation because its actually preventing us signing players within our budget."Andronikou did confirm that John Utaka wants to leave and Kevin-Prince Boatengs move to Genoa is imminent, saying: "The negotiations are advanced and weve come to an agreement."PortsmouthJamie Jackson guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Disciplinary case into claims against Suarez is under way Case set to last two days, with both players giving evidenceLuis Suarezs disciplinary hearing for allegedly racially abusing Patrice Evra has begun in secrecy, the Guardian can reveal.The case is expected to last two days, with Suarez and Evra both giving evidence to determine the chain of events that has led to the Liverpool striker facing a long ban if he is found guilty.Evra claims that Suarez used a racist word "at least ten times" during Manchester Uniteds 1-1 draw at Anfield on 15 October. Suarez denies the allegations and has been given Liverpools full backing as he tries to overturn a case that threatens to have huge ramifications for the clubs season.The hearing centres on a disputed version of what was said between the two players. Suarez has admitted words were exchanged but the Uruguayans defence is understood to focus on the nuances of the Spanish language and cultural differences, arguing that what he said would not be considered offensive for someone of his background in South America.The complexities of the case have led the FA to look closely at the semantics issue and explain why the case is expected to take longer than usual.Luis SuarezLiverpoolManchester UnitedDaniel Taylor guardian.co.uk © 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
