Burnley manager Brian Laws does not think Portsmouth should be allowed to sell any players outside of the transfer window.
Cash-strapped Pompey have requested special dispensation to allow them to sell off their prized assets in order to balance the books.
The club handed over a statement of their financial affairs to the High Court earlier this week as they attempt to fend off a winding-up order from Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
Laws said:"We all work within rules and regulations, that's the way the Football League or Premier League has worked for hundreds of years.
"Why should we have to change that for one particular club who are finding it very difficult with their finances?
"Whilst we have every sympathy with a football club that has difficulties, the only ones they should be looking at are themselves.
"They should be looking in a mirror to find the answer. They got themselves into it, (they should) get themselves out of it."
