Grant: ‘problem on the pitch’

PORTSMOUTH boss Avram Grant is not concerned about reports of the club being on the brink of administration, admitting: “I have enough problems on the pitch”.

The Premier League’s bottom side yesterday issued a strongly-worded statement denying rumours they are planning to go into administration.

Speculation over the club’s finances has intensified since it was revealed last week that their players had been paid late for a second time this season.
