Grant: We won`t give up the fight
Portsmouth manager Avram Grant refused to throw in the towel following the 5-0 defeat at Manchester United, despite the club's off-field worries.
Pompey remain rooted to the foot of the Barclays Premier League table following their heavy loss at Old Trafford and continue to be hampered by financial problems.
But a defiant Grant said: "Positive thinking is always better than negative thinking and as long as we have the chance we will fight.
"It is more difficult for us than other teams but sometimes difficult is a challenge. For me it's a challenge.
"It would have been easy to go and no-one could blame me if I left a few weeks ago or one week ago but it is not my way. I want to show this character because it is important for the future of the club."
Grant added: "We created two good chances and one came off the line. Then after 40 minutes they scored and got some own goals but Manchester United are a better team than us. We need to do our job even if it feels like things are going against us. We cannot think like this."
