We are both angry, frustrated and fed up, but neither of us are quitters.[LNB]'I don't intend to quit now I've slept on it, and although I cannot speak for Avram, from what we have talked about this morning, I don't think he will quiteither. And, let's face it, we both have good reason to walk out.'[LNB]Storrie conceded that the player exodus could be the key to securing the club's financial future. Indeed, Storrie went further by suggesting deals for both Kaboul and Begovic to join Spurs have been completed.[LNB] Clutching at straws: Begovic (right) tries in vain to stop West Ham scoring[LNB]'I am no longer involved in the finances, I am not involved in the transfer negotiations, and Avram doesn't know what players are being sold,' he added.[LNB]'The two best players on the pitch in our last game against West Ham, Kaboul and Begovic, have been sold to Spurs, and - who knows? - it might not stopthere.[LNB]'That's not good for Avram, so you can understand why he is frustrated and angry about it, but at least it will keep the club alive for two or three months, maybe until the end of the season, which will gives you all time to sort out what is going on here.'
