This summer will indeed prove a curious one, with sides set to feel the financial implications of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The landscape is set to change and Pompey won’t be immune, with the landscape set to change.
Contracts have been a big talking point, especially what could happen to players whose deals expire on June 30 in the unlikely event the season is extended.
We’ve taken a look at every member of Kenny Jackett's squad and how they could be impacted...
5. Lee Brown - June 2020
The left-back is out of contract this summer, although the club hold the option for an additional. That’s something you’d still expect Pompey to take up given his experience. | Freelance Photo: Joe Pepler
6. Christian Burgess - June 2020
Undoubtedly the biggest concern of those out of contract. The deal he was tabled a few months ago is now off given the financial climate and he may reluctantly have to take less money if he is to stay. One to watch. | Freelance Photo: Graham Hunt
7. Matt Casey - June 2020
It was looking highly doubtful the club would take up the option for an additional year. However, Casey will be on low wages and Pompey might feel he can provide cover. | JPIMedia Ltd Resell Photo: habibur rahman
8. Paul Downing - June 2022
The former Blackburn man is well out of favour and would have been looking to move on. Pompey may now feel they need to keep hold of the centre-back, although a departure would probably be given the thumbs up if it made financial sense. | Freelance Photo: Graham Hunt
