Portsmouth boss Hart desperate not to lead club down

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart is desperate not to be the man who leads the club back into the Championship.

"I'm not looking any further than the end of the season because there's a job to do," said Hart, whose side face Everton in Saturday's early kick-off.

"Fourth or fifth from bottom would be great. I'm not about underachievement but it's all about staying up this season and after that we can talk about (higher) positions.

"I was honoured to given this job and this opportunity, but with this position goes a big mantle.

"I want to be the one to keep this club up, not the one to take them the other way.

"You take on the role of manager and what goes with it is the responsibility for that. There are a lot of things on my CV but I don't want Portsmouth's relegation on it."
