Portsmouth chairman Sacha Gaydamak says new gaffer Tony Adams will have cash available to buy in January.

Gaydamak said: "I will back Tony 100 per cent - otherwise why would I make him manager? He is fully backed by myself and the board and he is aware of that.

"I never interfered with football matters when Harry Redknapp was manager and I will not with Tony.

"My job is to give him the tools to deliver. Whatever he decides, it is his call."
