Portsmouth's players are sweating on Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim completing his takeover.
The News says with playing contracts expiring on June 30, nine of them are anxiously listening out for news over whether they will be part of Al Fahim's blue revolution.
Fresh investment from the Arabian property tycoon into the cash-strapped club could save the players' Premier League lives by funding their wage demands.
It could also finish them by opening the doors for better replacements.
