Burnley manager Brian Laws said today it would be "ridiculous" to let relegation rivals Portsmouth sell players outside the transfer window.
Pompey, seven points behind Burnley in the table, have made the plea as they could be wound up at the High Court on 1 March.
"We all work within rules and regulations," said Laws. "Why should we have to change that for one particular club who are finding it very difficult with their finances? Portsmouth got themselves into it, they should get themselves out of it.
"Allowing them to get a player out of the door, get some money and finances in, and then he goes and scores a goal against us that could be the goal that takes us down - that's ridiculous."
