that suggests to me that the pompey move is off

i think francis and his agent jumped the gun a bit over what was just an 'are you sure?' call from mandaric . then again, this could be worthy calling pompey's bluff. If francis isn't going to be a ncfc player at the end of august, though, it seems a bit stupid playing him in our most important preseason match at the expense of hughes who obviously needs the practise.
