Portsmouth's Supporters Trust have former midfielder Johnny Ertl standing in their elections this year. The 32 year old Austrian ended his playing stint with the club in the summer, and is one of seven candidates for four available spots. Press reports say the Trust's shareholding in the club has dipped from 60% to 47% as they battle with issues funding the state of the ageing Fratton Park stadium and future development plans, meaning the 'Pompey Presidents' have increased their percentage in the club since the April 2013 takeover.
