Don’t bet on Avram Grant or Portsmouth being around next season
I woudn’t be in a rush to take the 2-1 posted by Sky Bet that Avram Grant is still Pompey manager at the start of next season.
Avram might still be there, but Portsmouth probably won’t be.
Tomorrow Pompey face a winding-up petition – though no-one I know has signed it – with fans fearing the club will plunge into oblivion. Quit worrying – you’re already there.
Grant’s response to the growing crisis unfolding at Fratton Park was to flee to a Thai massage parlour. I wouldn’t criticise him for going there. His big mistake was leaving.
Reports suggest Portsmouth are soon to change hands for the fifth time this season. This puts them on a par with Vanessa Perroncel, though Pompey are rated more likely to go down. Just.
