Portsmouth caretaker manager Paul Hart could still be in post by summer, when the club begin in earnest to find a replacement for sacked boss Tony Adams. Executive chairman Peter Storrie is believed to be keen on Hart staying at the helm for the remainder of the season.

Hart is relishing his time in charge and has admitted talks with Storrie are in the pipeline.

He said: "I'm enjoying the job.

"Peter has not spoken to me yet, but we're due to have a meeting."
