Fire sale at Pompey to continue as Storrie reveals takeover concerns

04 August 2009 14:38
Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie revealed the club must 'sell to keep going' with delays continuing over Sulaiman Al Fahim's proposed takeover. The switch in ownership to Al Fahim from Alexandre Gaydamak looked all set to proceed after the former passed the Premier League's 'fit and proper person' test. However, the deal is not yet certain to be completed and Storrie warned supporters that with no money coming in from either Al Fahim or Gaydamak, there could be further departures from Fratton Park to add to the big-money exits of Peter Crouch and Glen Johnson despite manager Paul Hart having only 18 senior players to work with. 'Until this takeover happens, neither the old nor the new owner is placing any money into the business,' Storrie told The Sun.
