Hart expecting more good news

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart celebrated his side's first Barclays Premier League points of the season and then predicted the club can expect "new investment" within the next few days.

Hart confirmed the outstanding wages owed to certain players and staff will be paid on Monday. New owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim is already planning a £150million injection into Pompey. But Hart is expecting more investment on top of that into the south coast club, who gained a 1-0 win at Wolves thanks to a goal from on-loan Benfica midfielder Hassan Yebda.

Hart said: "The wages will be paid on Monday. I would expect the wages problem not to be happening again on the basis of the new investment."

He added: "I think what is best said is over the next few days we will have new investment and this club will have some good news instead of bad stuff.

"New investment? Yes."

Hart was full of praise for his side after they ended a run of seven successive league defeats.

He said: "It was a great win. We have played better over the past month. We played well in the first half and defended tremendously in the second half.

"The whole group have been tremendous. Everyone knows our problems and what we have been through the last six months.

"These players have had everything thrown at them but they have stayed strong.

"They are a great bunch of lads, they show great spirit and they have never wavered. Yes, we got a few breaks today. We have earned it and some of the defending was excellent."
