Portsmouth’s manager is confident about the team’s future despite contract uncertainties for several players. John Mousinho emphasizes that contract negotiations are currently not a priority as the club pursues its Championship aspirations. He hopes that the 15 players whose contracts expire soon will choose to continue with the team under his leadership, especially as success this season seems achievable.
Mousinho commends the commitment of those players whose futures at Fratton Park are uncertain, acknowledging their focus on the team’s promotion push. Portsmouth faces Bolton with the possibility of securing a Championship spot and even the League One title.
Despite the impending contract expiry for many players on July 1, the team’s impressive 15-game unbeaten run indicates a maintained level of concentration. The mentioned players include Marlon Pack, Joe Morrell, Sean Raggett, Joe Rafferty, Connor Ogilvie, Lee Evans, Zak Swanson, Toby Steward, Liam Vincent, Haji Mnoga, Harry Jewitt-White, Josh Martin, Matt Macey, Ryan Schofield, and Josh Dockerill.
Mousinho stresses that discussions about contracts will only happen after the season concludes and the team’s league status is clear. This approach aims to avoid distractions and treat all players equally in negotiations. He expresses gratitude for the players’ professionalism in handling the situation and hopes that those who have contributed to the team’s journey will choose to stay for the future.
