Cash-strapped Portsmouth believe they could compete in League One this season after selling four of their first-team squad.

Pompey administrator Trevor Birch has said the club will only be able to continue beyond August 10 if they can offload all their big-earning stars, with their wage bill currently standing at around £6.5million.

Erik Huseklepp has joined Norwegian side SK Brann on a four-and-a-half-year deal after scoring six times in 28 appearances for the club, while Greg Halford has agreed a deal to join Nottingham Forest and both Luke Varney and David Norris moved to Leeds United.

That means only four senior players remain - Liam Lawrence, Tal Ben Haim, Dave Kitson and Kanu.

Pompey manager Michael Appleton said of Halford: "Greg is a very good footballer who is attractive to teams because he can play in a variety of positions and is confident in all of them.

"I'm sure he will do very well and kick on with his career."

Portsmouth are 9/1 with bet365 to win promotion from League One in the 2012-13 season, while Sheffield United are 7/4 to go up, Crawley Town 5/1 and Stevenage 9/1.
