Portsmouth are now in administration
• Pompey to go into administration
• Forum: Should Pompey be kicked out?
A statement on the club's official website read: "At 10:20am today, Portsmouth Football Club was placed into administration."
Chief executive Peter Storrie has also confirmed he will stand down once the administrators have completed their work.
In a statement, he said: "It is my intention to work with the administrator to help sell the business and I hope that will be quick as there is already interest in acquiring the club. I will also work with Avram Grant on the football side.
"Once the sale is complete, I will tender my notice to the new owners as set out under the terms of my contract.
"My decision to stand down has not been taken lightly, but I have had to take into account the views of my family who have witnessed first-hand the effect that the last 15 months has had on our lives."
Administrator Andrew Andronikou, of insolvency experts UHY Hacker Young, has started the process of cutting costs at the club to try to keep it as a viable entity and Soccernet has been informed that the job cuts will be "drastic" although the new owner, Balram Chainrai, has put up the money for the wages to be paid this month.
However, there is some positive news as a spokesman for the club dismissed speculation boss Avram Grant has left Fratton Park.
There was talk of Grant hosting a press conference early this afternoon, ahead of the one planned for Fratton Park, but a spokesman said: "That's not the case. As far as I'm aware he's still with the club."
Brian Laws: Portsmouth will be fighting hard
Gary Double, Portsmouth's director of communications, walked out of the club on Thursday after discovering he was on the list of staff facing the axe as the club's administrator prepares for severe cut-backs.
Double told Soccernet: "I am a bit gutted as I've been dealing with all the continued crisis for the last 18 months, but I'll at least get my life back!
"There are some fantastic people who are working very hard under very trying circumstances, and it is likely some of those will go too. It's a great club I've come to love despite being a Fulham fan!"
