Sacha: I’m no Abramovich

ALEXANDRE GAYDAMAK chose his first public appearance as Portsmouth’s new co-owner to warn supporters: ‘Don’t compare me with Roman Abramovich.’

The 29-year-old is set to bankroll a shopping spree for manager Harry Redknapp this month, which has begun with the £4.1million arrival of Zimbabwean Benjamin Mwaruwari.

Mwaruwari also appeared at Fratton Park yesterday, with the deal to bring him in from Auxerre as Portsmouth's record signing complete barring the award of a work permit which Pompey are confident should be granted.
