Storrie: Grant is not a threat to Hart

PORTSMOUTH chief executive Peter Storrie insists returning director of football Avram Grant is not waiting in the wings to take under-pressure manager Paul Hart’s job.

The former Chelsea boss yesterday signed a two-year deal with the club following Saudi businessman Ali Al-Faraj’s takeover at Fratton Park.

While Storrie spoke to Hart yesterday morning about the Israeli’s appointment, he confirmed the club’s new owner handpicked Grant for the position he formerly occupied during Harry Redknapp’s managerial tenure.
