King kanu in Porthsmouth's colours |
Kanu wants the 3 million pounds Porthsmouth's owing him paid before he leaves, just like some other senior players of the club...Porthsmouth's administrator hinted that,
"We still have players like Ben Haim, Dave Kitson and Kanu on our books.
"The club is heading for liquidation in just a few weeks, perhaps two weeks if these players don't leave or compromise on their wages.”
"Kanu has served the club notice that he wants to leave but before doing so he wants the money he says is owed to him by the club. These players hold the survival of the club in their hands."
Though Birch admitted the situation wasn’t necessarily the players’ fault, but stressed that after several false alarms the end is finally looming for the club.
"I must stress it is not their fault as the players didn't get the club into this trouble, but they do now have the ability to get the club out of this mess,” he continued.
"The problem with everybody is that this club has cried wolf so often that no one believes it will happen, no one believes they will go out of business, but they will in two or three weeks.
"It is that serious now. The trouble is 'Portsmouth fatigue', but the truth is that the club is now fighting for its life.”
What's next? Prayers won't be a bad idea on the part of the club.
