Guy Whittingham says morale in the Portsmouth camp is still fine and he hopes the club's future will soon be resolved in a positive way.

A terrible thing

Having been in the Premier League this time three years ago and won the FA Cup as recently as 2008, Whittingham hopes that Portsmouth's dramatic fall from grace will serve as a stark warning to other clubs. He explained: "I just hope that what is happening down here doesn't happen to anyone else because it is a horrible situation and people need to learn from it. "We just can't wait for the day when we can come out of administration and we can push on." Asked if anything could have been done differently to avoid the current situation, Whittingham added: "Something must have been, all those years ago. "When we were in the Premier League with all that money coming in, for us to be in this situation is a terrible thing to have happened."
