Avram grants Pompey ultimatum

(GSM) – Portsmouth manager Avram Grant has warned the club that he will leave if the situation at the club is not resolved. The Pompey boss says his love for the club would not be enough if the financial troubles at the club persist next season.

Grant has had to endure a turbulent time at the Pompey helm as the club fell into administration before relegating from the English Premier League.

When asked what his message is for the club’s fans, Grant said: “Tell them that I love them and I love the city. It’s a love story.

“If I can work like a manager of football and only a manager of football and not like this year, when I needed to be a manager of football and many, many other things…

“I don’t know if you know, I was a financial man, I was a lawyer, I was many other things.

“This I will not do one season more. I don’t think it is a good idea, not for me, not for the club.

“But I want to think positively, I want to think everything will be OK. But people don’t know what it is to work under the pressures we have had this year.

“Even though I know everybody has sympathy for us, they don’t know what it is to come day by day and don’t know what is the problem.

“When you come in every day and you don’t know anything, I don’t want it to be like this.”
