Storrie's staying put

29 January 2010 16:18
Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has decided against walking out on the south coast strugglers but admits he and manager Avram Grant have plenty of cause to consider their futures. The Fratton Park chief was left fuming after the club opened negotiations with Tottenham to sell defender Younes Kaboul and in-form goalkeeper Asmir Begovic without his knowledge. Storrie told ESPN Soccernet he was no longer involved in transfer dealings at Pompey but insists neither he nor Grant intend to walk away at this stage. "We are both angry, frustrated and fed up, but neither of us are quitters," Storrie said. "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 I don't think he will quit either. Let's face it, we both have good reason to walk out! "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."
