Portsmouth boss reveals summit Eisner transfer talks and spending picture at critical moment for Championship survival hopes

And the Blues boss has detailed scheduled recruitment talks with owner Michael Eisner, after the American billionaire jetted in as his club’s second-tier hopes hang in the balance.

Eisner was a surprise presence for Saturday’s 2-1 win over Middlesbrough, with the chairman taking in Fratton Park ground improvements and the club’s new fan zone.

Supporters are calling for Eisner to give the green light to the kind of business which simply has to take place, to give Pompey a chance of staying in the Championship this season. Mousinho is confident those funds are available to action the kind of business required between now and 11pm on February 3.

‘You can see the difference some of those players have made. We’ve struggled with injuries all season at centre-half and Isaac has come in and done really well. I’ve always felt that we’ve had the backing.’

Eisner is expected to be present until after Wednesday’s Championship clash with Stoke with wife Jane, though no other family members are present for the visit. Mousinho met with the club’s owner before Saturday’s win and there will be more of the same – especially in the wake of Boro success.

He added: ‘I caught up with Michael before the game and he came down to the office. I spoke to him after the game about the match and I think I’m going to see him Tuesday and then going into the game on Wednesday – so there’s plenty of time for us to catch up.

‘I think so (he’ll be at the Stoke game) and the last time he was here he popped into the office, so he will do that Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday and keep flying back over!’
