Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp admits fans will have to get used to eventually losing their star players - if they fail to deliver success.

He said: "Given the type of players I am attracting to this club now, we have to accept we either move forward and win silverware or the players will leave and we will find it harder to attract stars of the same quality.

"I've brought in some fantastic players for Portsmouth this season, but I need success to sustain that and keep them happy or they will all clear off eventually.

"Players like Diarra and Sully Muntari haven't come here not to win things. They are big players and want to win trophies."
